Gleeful Grace - A Darren Criss Fanfic

Revelations

Blake was already at the door by the time I was halfway down the stairs, he turned back to look at me, one eyebrow raised as I was pulling my jumper down and fixing my hair. I looked at him with pleading eyes. Half a smile formed on his face as he opened the door.
“Chord, darling you look ghastly!" he said ushering him inside.
Chord stepped through the door, he had his hood pulled over his head and his big black sunshades on. He groaned in pain.
“My head hurts” he said mimicking a zombie walk into the lounge. We all sat down when Blake's attention turned to me.
“What happened to Darren?” He smirked, enjoying every minute of my uneasiness,
“He ummm…..went to the bathroom I think” I mumbled
“Oh Darren's here?” Chord asked, I nodded slowly
“Yeah he came to hang out with me and Blake” I hope he hadn't noticed my flushed cheeks.
Right on queue Darren entered the room, looking fresh, like nothing had happened. He sat on the couch next to me, Chord was on the chair and Blake was stood up.
“Hey guys, sorry I took so long” Darren waved, Blake stared at him a little too long.
“Hmmm…no problem some things take time….” His eyes flashed with wickedness
I shifted uncomfortably in my chair and shot him an evil look.
“Eww Gross” Chord retorted not registering any underlying meaning to our conversation.
I chuckled and Darren frowned.
“Drink anyone?” Blake offered
We all nodded so he retreated to the kitchen to put the kettle on. Darren's hand moved from his lap down by his side on the couch. He began discreetly stroking my thigh with the back of his knuckles affectionately. Chord had taken off his glasses and looked over at us, Darren stopped. Disappointment succumbed me.
“I hope you don't mind me dropping by, just thought we could hang out” Chord said as he curled his feet under him on the chair making himself comfortable.
“Not at all, although I'm hanging so much I don't plan on setting foot outside today” I groaned.
“Chord, could you give me a hand?” Blake shouted from the kitchen. Chord jumped up and left the room.
In a shot Darren grabbed my face in his hands and kissed me desperately. His lips pressed against mine as his tongue slipped inside my mouth causing me to release a hushed moan. I pushed him away reluctantly after a few seconds.
“Darren!” I hissed with shocked eyes.
“This is going to be pure torture” he sat back and looked away. He looked so adorable so I reached my hand up to his face and stroked his cheek, he leant his face into it and closed his eyes. I heard footsteps down the hall so quickly pulled it back.
Chord and Blake came in with our drinks and set them down on the coffee table along with some muffins on my plate. Blake sat on the floor in front of the TV and Chord took his place back on the chair.
“Pretty heavy night” Chord said, a faint smile formed in his face.
“I am never going to one of Lea’s parties again…someone left a bra in her bedroom, she is holding it to ransom” I laughed, as did everyone else…except Chord…I noticed.
“Chord?”
He blushed and slapped his hand to his head
“CHORD OVERSTREET YOU DIRTY DOG!!” I squealed.
“whaaaa…I don't wear bras….in case you hadn't noticed I'm a dude” he backtracked
“No uh uh quit the funny act Chordless, who was the lucky lady?” I said excitedly, I felt Darren tense up and instantly regretted saying that.
“I don't kiss and tell” He smirked taking a bite from on of the muffins on the table that he had picked up.
Blake's phone buzzed, he shot it out in his pocket in a flash and his face lit up as he started tapping the screen.
“Chris has asked me out” he chirped
“When did all this occur!!” I said, the pitch of my voice getting higher with all the revelations unfolding.
“we totally hit it off last night, whilst you was shaking your booty on stage…drunk much?!” He said. His phone buzzed again and in a flash his attention was elsewhere.
We carried on talking and laughing about the events of the previous night.
“So what happened in the cloak room guys?” Chord asked suddenly out of nowhere
Blake looked up from his phone and the room fell into silence. Darren and I looked at each other and looked back to him desperately trying to read his face. I was unsure of what to say, he had spent the night with a mysterious girl, surely that meant it was ok for me and Darren to….
“Haha nothing, I was too busy trying to hold her up she was so drunk” Darren said, interrupting my thoughts. A pang of pain shot to my stomach. I knew he was trying to protect Chord but it hurt me to think that he could pass what happened in the cloak room as nothing. I faked a laugh to join everyone else but inside I was screaming inside. Screaming that we had kissed, and it felt so good and I couldn’t ever imagine kissing anyone else ever again after that.
