Eeee! I love this, coz it's so true. Coz Blake doesn't want to hide, and Chris is used to hiding, and they both have to coz of stupid Idol TPTB. But at least now we can see that hey, maybe they aren't hiding anymore. (Backstage passes? Straight BFFS? Fans have eyes. Really.) As usual with all your fics, this flows with such smoothness that it's simply a joy to read.

“I trust you and I need you to know and I need you to know”

Love this sentence. And I love Chris will eventually say it to Blake, if not already. :)

It wasn’t that Blake hated acting, really; it was that he hated pretending to be less than himself.
Yes, I can see this.

...taking in the way his name sounded on Chris’s lips and hiding it away in his mind to save for years to come.
Lovely.
