The CrissColfer Story

Cast Party

A/N: Hey guys! SO SORRY WE HAVEN'T UPDATED!!!!!! I've been working on this all day so we'd have something & I think it turned out pretty good! Thank you to everyone who reviewed, that's really what encouraged us to write. And thanks to all our readers! Just a reminder: Chris is regular font, Darren is bold font. Please comment, follow, just let us know what we think! And updates will be more regular from here on out :)

***********************************************************************

     After coming home from the set, I hop in the shower and change into my regular clothes. Tonight the cast is meeting up at Lea’s house for a small party. We usually get together at least once every couple weeks, even if it’s just for a group lunch. But tonight we are having a real party. I decide on wearing a fitted black t-shirt and jeans, with a tan fedora. I really don’t need to get to dressed up, but it is a special occasion so I should look nice.

            The party starts in about 40 minutes, and although I live only 20 minutes away, I agreed to pick up Darren, so I have to leave earlier. He said he doesn’t want to go in alone, since he isn’t as tight with the others. Over the past two weeks he has been on set, we’ve bonded over Harry Potter, Star Wars, music, and just joking around. Although we all hang out on set, Darren rarely has scenes and when he does they are always with me, so he hasn’t had time to really get to know others. But I’ll be heading to “Dalton” soon, so we will get to know the Warblers, which will be fun.

Either way, I’m not complaining, because Dare is good company and we are kinda like best friends now. I know it’s not realistic, but after these couple weeks we’ve got really tight, and it’s nice to have another guy friend. All the other guys on set I would definitely consider to be in my close circle of friends, but for the most part they aren’t as much like me as Darren is.

And yeah, he’s straight. But he doesn’t treat me any different and I keep everything normal so it hasn’t been a problem at all. The only weird thing was that one night at dinner. I swear he practically held my hand at one point and I don’t know, he was almost, flirty? But I think that’s just the way he is. So I’ve overlooked it and just let the friendship flow.

I pull into the parking lot of Darren’s apartment building and wait for him to come out. As I look at the door I see him coming out with a slight grin on his face. When he notices my car and heads toward it, his smile grows and I laugh. He is always so happy, even for no reason!

“Hey Dare, “ I greet as he gets in the passenger seat.

“Hi Chris! How are you? And thanks for the ride,” Darren replies, obviously in a good mood.

“You’re welcome, and I’m good. Glad to be getting out with everyone. The rehearsal schedules been so busy lately, it will be nice to relax.”

“Yeah, I can’t wait! But good thing you are gunna be there, because if not I would just be a lost puppy.”

I laugh, knowing how that’s not true, because he’s very social and everyone likes him. “If you say so. Got any other plans this weekend?” I ask, and the conversation flows from there.

***********************************************************************

I soon realize we have arrived at our destination. As we head in Darren comes up next to me and grabs my hand. “What the-“

“I’m so nervous! What if they don’t like me? Help Chris!” he says, giving me his best puppy dog eyes.

I sigh, because how can you resist those? “Oh come on Darren, it will be fine! You are overreacting. Now come on, we are going in.” I pull my hand away, even though I would like nothing more than to walk into a party holding his hand. Any guys hand, really. I really am content just being his friend, but overall, it would be nice to have a boyfriend of some sort. And I have to admit, I have a slight crush on Darren but no. He’s just a friend. Keep it professional.
