Summary: “Chris shook his head, but the thoughts just wouldn´t go away. He had been so calm back then, just feeling Darren so close, their fingers intertwined and listening to each other´s breathing.He could have fallen asleep right there and then, and he probably would have, if it wouldn´t have been for the director yelling cut."
Author´s note: Long time no Crisscolfer. I really miss writing these boys and I have so many ideas in my head, but I just don´t have time. This is something I really wanted to write and it´s for my lovely friend Jana because I promised I´ll write her something and I thought it would help her get through monday because of school which is blah. I don´t know how I´m supposed to get through work now though since I stayed up until 5.30am bc I wanted to finish this so badly and now I don´t really have to go to bed anymore anyway... But anything for you my love! <3 I hope you guys enjoy it!
It was way past 11pm and they´ve had a long and tiring day of filming. Chris had sworn to himself that he would just collapse onto his bed and sleep until the sound of alarm clock, which someone had changed to the theme song of my little pony, (Chris suspected Darren, but he couldn´t prove anything) would wake him in the morning.
He hadn´t changed it back yet, mainly because it reminded him of that night after Coachella when Darren had showed up at his door a little drunk, with painted fingernails, glitter all over his body and humming said song.
The memory of Darren made Chris smile for a split second, until he remembered that he was lying on his bed, wide awake, but so tired, and not able to fall asleep. And not only that, but also that Darren was the reason for it.
Chris was aware of the fact that Darren was a constant on his mind, his eyes, his lips, his laugh, his whole damn body and voice were constantly present to Chris, but he was usually able to push them into the back of his mind. Today didn´t seem to be a day for this to work though, because Chris´ mind kept wandering back to today´s filming. They had filmed the last scenes for episode 5, the big episode, how everyone kept referring to it.
It had been a couple of very intense scenes, and Chris wasn´t even talking about the making out. Making out with Darren was nice, he had to admit that, but it had been the afterglow scene that had really gotten him.
It had been the last scene of the day and they had been so tired, but Chris remembered every single one of Darren´s touches and the little smiles he had given him. Well, that Blaine had given Kurt.
Chris shook his head, but the thoughts just wouldn´t go away. He had been so calm back then, just feeling Darren so close, their fingers intertwined and listening to each other´s breathing.
He could have fallen asleep right there and then, and he probably would have, if it wouldn´t have been for the director yelling cut.
Chris sighed and grabbed his phone from the nightstand. He wanted to call Darren, but what was he supposed to say?
“Hey Darren, how are you? By the way could you come over because I don´t think I can fall asleep without you.”
Well…no.
Another sigh as the phone went back onto the night stand and Chris back to staring at the ceiling.
He didn´t know how much time passed, an hour maybe, or just five minutes, it didn´t really matter. Chris was about to grab his phone again and call Lea, because he knew that she was awake. Of course he didn´t, mainly because he wasn´t someone to bother his friends with his problems, but also because a knock on his door made him sit up straight in bed, his phone dropping from his hands, where it stayed as Chris got up very slowly.
Who was coming to his apartment at this time of the day? There weren´t many people who knew where he lived anyway, so there weren´t really a lot of possibilities and…
“Chris? Chris are you there?”
Chris heart skipped a beat at the sound of Darren´s voice and he had to restrain himself from flinging the door open immediately. Instead he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
So there was Darren, in front of his door, at an hour where they both should be sleeping. What on earth was this supposed to mean? Was it even supposed to mean anything?
Chris took another deep breath and opened the door to find Darren staring at him, a little surprised and with one hand raised, as if he was just about to knock again.
“Hey.”
“Hey.”
There was a little silence where Chris tried his best not to avoid Darren´s gaze, because he had a feeling that this would just make things even more awkward.
“So…” Darren began, eyes shifting a little, as if he was trying to force himself to look into Chris´ eyes too. “I wanted to come and see you…like…right after I got home. But then I felt weird, which I shouldn’t…because I don´t feel weird around you! So I left to come here, and I even bought food, you know at that little Chinese place we like so much.” Darren raised his other hand and Chris caught sight of a brown paper bag. “Yeah but it´s cold now…because I spent like 2 hours walking around because I didn´t know what reason I would have to come to your place. And then I felt stupid because I know that I don´t need a reason to come and see you, but still…” Darren stopped and let out a sigh. “I don´t know, I´m sorry.”
Chris caught his breath, because there was Darren, Darren with his lips slightly parted, his dark, brown eyes, staring at him and that gorgeous look on his face. That look that made Chris want to grab his face and just kiss him.
But he didn´t. Now wasn´t the right time, this was not Kurt kissing Blaine, there were no camera´s and most importantly no one to yell cut, and Chris didn´t know if he could stop.
“So…I know I don´t really have the food bonus anymore, but…do you think I could stay? Because I´d rather not walk back home in the middle of the night…”
And my apartment feels really empty. Darren added silently. And with you I don´t feel so alone. It was something he would never say out loud. Not because he was afraid he would cross a certain line, Chris and him didn´t really have any lines, but because sometimes Darren was afraid that he would mess things up. He didn´t know what exactly it was they had, but it was something special. Something he wouldn´t want to jeopardize in any way, which was for example why he had walked away from the cast party a few weeks ago, where everybody had been insanely smashed, instead of kissing Chris.
Kissing his guy friends, especially when drunk, had never been a big thing for Darren, but with Chris is was different. With Chris everything was different, and fucking complicated for that matter.
“Sure. Just…come in.” Chris gestured with his hands, trying to hide his nervousness. He had wanted Darren to be here, hadn´t he?
Yeah, but what was he supposed to do now?
Darren stepped into the apartment and looked around for a short moment before placing the bag with the food on the drawer next to the door.
“So…do you wanna like…do something? Or…sleep?”
“Oh uhm…I´m pretty tired.”
Chris bit his lip. “Sure. You can have my bed, I´ll just sleep on the couch.” He nodded over to his bedroom, but Darren shook his head.
“No you don´t have to! I mean…we can share, right?”
Oh.
Chris turned back to Darren and their eyes met for a brief moment. They had never shared a bed before. Sure, they had fallen asleep on the couch together, but in a bed? No.
“Uhm…yeah sure…why…why not.” Chris let out a breath he wasn´t aware he had been holding.
Darren gave him a little smile and followed the other man into the bed room where he stripped down to his boxers and an undershirt.
An undershirt?
Darren was never wearing undershirts, but this one looked like the one he had been wearing earlier during filming. Chris wasn´t sure because it was, except for the moonlight streaming through the window, fairly dark in the room.
Chris shook his head and got into bed.
Maybe Darren is wearing undershirts, it´s not like I know everything about him.
He felt a movement when Darren climbed after him and pulled the covers over them. They both lay on their backs in silence for a while and Chris mind drifted off to earlier, when Darren…Blaine, when Blaine had held Kurt in his arms and how comfortable he had felt just lying there. Why couldn´t he feel like that with Darren? They had always been comfortable around each other. Maybe it was just Chris sleep deprived brain that was making things way more complicated than they actually were, he really hoped it was.
Chris was just about to close his eyes, when he felt a sudden touch on his right hand. It was very light, but it was definitely there…was it?
His heart skipped a beat and he was pretty sure he was holding his breath, waiting for something, anything, to prove that he didn´t imagine it.
There.
That was definitely Darren´s hand grazing his. Chris could hear the other man´s breathing accelerate, but it was drowned out by the sound of his own heart pounding loudly in his ears.
What was he supposed to do now?
Chris felt Darren´s fingers tremble a little and finally let out the breath he was holding.
“I couldn´t sleep.” He said, his voice a little shaky, as he moved his hand a little closer to Darren´s and intertwined their fingers. “I had to think about earlier and how nice it felt to just lie there as Kurt and Blaine, and why I couldn´t have that.”
Chris fell silent and for a moment there was no sound in the room but their breathing. Just when he thought he might have said too much, Chris felt the weight on the bed shift a little. Suddenly two arms were wrapped around him and he let out a surprised noise when he was pulled over, his head coming to rest on Darren´s chest.
“I know what you mean.” The older man whispered and Chris raised his head a little. Darren was looking down at him, a hint of moonlight reflecting in his eyes. He looked so sincere, so vulnerable, Chris had never seen him like that. It made his heart go crazy and his stomach flip, because this was not Kurt and Blaine, there was no acting, this was just Darren and him.
“Do we…do we have to talk about this?” Chris whispered back. “Or can we just…lie here, for now?”
Darren smiled at him fondly and pulled the younger man closer. “That would be nice, yeah. I think we can do that.”
Chris smiled back and his head came to rest on Darren´s chest again. He didn´t know what this was, what they were, but it felt nice, nicer than anything he had ever felt before.
And I wouldn´t change it for the world. He thought before his eyes drifted close and he fell asleep to the sound of Darren´s heart beating.
Those three words are said to much, They´re not enough
So if I lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?
