Gleeful Grace - A Darren Criss Fanfic

Come Out of the Closet

I was so happy me and Chord has sorted everything out. After a few drinks had loosened us up we were laughing and joking like nothing had ever happened. I glanced at the clock again.
"What's the matter? Do you turn into a pumpkin at midnight?" Chord mused.
I chuckled warmly.
"No, just Darren has not shown" I tried not to sound as sad as I did. Lea has waltzed in clearly drunk as I was talking and draped her arm over my shoulders.
"Darren's here silly. He is in the lounge, has been for ages, and that is where we are heading". I felt my stomach knot up with hurt. Why hasn't he come to say hi?
"Truth or Dare!!!!" Lea shouted then grabbed my hand and pointed to the lounge as she pulled me towards it.
When I got to the lounge I looked around until my eyes locked on the hazel ones I so desperately wanted to see. I smiled instantly only he kind of just nodded politely and looked away.
What did I do?
"Alright let's get this going!!" Lea clapped her hands excitedly. Everyone started forming a huge circle and Blake eagerly patted the furry rug next to him so I sat down. I was sat opposite Darren. Chord had followed us too and sat down next to Chris. Lea poured the last of the wine into her glass and placed the bottle in the middle and spun it round. Everyone cheered and it stopped....on Chord.
Chord threw his head back dramatically as Chris slapped his thigh.
"Truth or Dare?!" Lea asked
"Truth I guess!" Chord smiled shaking his head.
"If you had to take someone upstairs right now to make sweet sweet love to who would it be?"
The silence that fell was deafening and I felt uneasy.
Chord shuffled awkwardly.
"Lindsey"
Everyone jeered and Blake shoulder bumped me.
I felt my cheeks redden and looked at the floor.
As I glanced up I looked over towards Darren. He was clenching his jaw as he took a swig of his beer. He didn't look my way.
"Alrighty let's go again" Lea spun the bottle and the cheers erupted.
It landed on me.
Fuck.
"Truth or Dare Lindsey"
"Dare" I couldn't face an awkward question which would be undoubtedly related to Chord.
Lea tapped her chin as she thought. I felt uneasy as he lips curled up into a knowing smile.
"You have to spend 5 minutes in the closet with whoever the bottle lands on next"
Fuck
With that she spun the bottle and as it slowed down my heart jumped.
Darren...it had stopped on Darren.
Wolf whistles and rude remarks were thrown our way as we were frog marched to the closet under the stairs in the hall.
I got shoved in followed closely behind by Darren. The closet was small and full of coats and bags. I found myself in the corner.
Darkness fell as the door shut and I heard the lock slide over.
"Time starts....NOW". Lea shouted through the door.
I couldn't see Darren but could feel his presence. The sweet scent of his cologne and a hint of beer made me feel almost dizzy.
"Hi" I whispered into the darkness.
"Hey"
"Did I do something wrong?" I asked tentatively.
I heard him sigh heavily.
"No"
Fine. I thought. I am not going to push this.
My thoughts were interrupted by someone banging on the door  shouting something incoherent.
"I feel...jealous" Darren's voice was so low I could barely hear it.
"Of....?"
"Chord" he sighed again.
"Wait...what?"
I heard him shuffle and gasped a little when I felt his breath on mine. His face was inches away.
His hand rose up to tuck a strand of hair behind my ear.
He was breathing heavy.
"Tell me to stop" he whispered.
I let the silence speak for itself. I wanted it probably more than he did.
His lips found mine easily. They were warm and hungry  pressing hard against my own. My tongue found his and he moaned a little when I snaked my arms around his neck and pulled him closer to me.
I felt his fingertips brush up my thighs and around to the small of my back. He pushed me backwards gently so I was pressed up against the side of the closet, his body pinning mine.
I could feel his excitement against my hip and it made me shiver. Our kiss deepened and intensified. His fingers pushed up to the bottom of my breasts as his lips found the crook of my neck.
"Fuck" I breathed.
My hands found his belt buckle and we broke apart for me to undo them.
The door clicked and Darren stepped backwards instantly.
"Times up folks...gee it's hot in there" Lea chuckled.
Darren stepped out. I smoothed myself down before stepping out behind him.
"I will tell you the rest later Darren" I said.
"Please do" he turned back to me with a smile.
