They Dont Know About Us

Chapter 13

*Darren's POV*

I wake up the next morning to a huge crash. I was sleeping so peacefully until I heard what sounded like a pack of wolves in a china shop coming from downstairs. I roll over to find Chris' side of the bed completely empty. I concluded that Chris had to be the cause of the noise. What the hell could he be doing this early in the morning where it is necessary to make this much noise?

I grumpily get out of bed and throw on my robe and slippers. I trudge down the stairs and find Chris in the kitchen surrounded by a pile of dishes and kitchen things all scattered on the floor.

"Chris? What the hell are you doing this early in the morning?" I mumble.

"Good morning, sleepyhead. I don't know if you realized, but it's almost noon. And I was trying to make French toast, but I couldn't find the pan, then I found the pan way up on that shelf up there and when I went to pull it down, I couldn't see the other pots sitting inside of it, so they all came tumbling down too. And here we are now. I woke up the devil trying to surprise him with breakfast."

"Aww, you didn't have to go through all of this trouble just for me."

"Well, we are getting married on a date to be determined, and it wouldn't have been any trouble had the pan been in the right spot."

"So what your saying here is that the pan DOESN'T belong in the highest shelf where none of us can reach it."

"Yes that's exactly what I'm saying."

"Well then, let's clean this mess up and I'll help you finish breakfast." We picked up the things that fell and luckily none were broken. We put them away in a place where we are both tall enough to reach them and we finished making breakfast together. We put some soft music in the background while we sat in front of the TV eating our French toast.

"Chris?" I said during a commercial break. "Do you think we should begin to tell people about our engagement? Like, put a post up on Instagram?"

"We may as well, it'll only be a matter of days before the news leaks and is everywhere. Did you manage to get decent pictures from last night?"

"You know I did. How about this one?"

"It's good, do you have any others?"

"How about this one?"

"Perfect. What's your caption gonna be?"

"I want it to be something kind of simple."

"Why don't you say, 'Onto the next journey with you' or something like that?"

"Nah, that one kind of sounds like a caption for when I graduated high school. Actually, I think that I'm going to surprise you."

"Come on, you know I don't like surprises."

"The entire proposal was a surprise, and I'm pretty sure you loved it."

"Okay, that was an exception." I laughed. I look at my phone and begin typing my caption. Okay, this might be a cheesy one, but it fits the picture perfectly and I think that Chris would like it. I hit post, and the picture immediately begins to gain instant like from random fans, probably bots.

"There, I posted it." I say to Chris. He whips out his phone and searches for the picture

@darrencriss: I always knew you were my soulmate. Last night was the best night of my life, well, at least until our wedding date ;). I love you, my fiancée.

Chris looks up at me. "Aww, I love it!" He says. "Look at your comment section already, it's filling up."

I look at the comment section. It's full of "OMG NO WAY!"s and "FINALLY!"s, but Kevin McHale's comment sticks right out to me more than any other comment.

@kevinmchale: congrats, more than happy for you guys. oh, and your welcome ;)

"Have you seen Kevin's comment yet, Darren?"

"Yeah, I just read it. I mean, I guess we do have him to thank for all of this, considering he helped us get together again."

"I guess, but we can thank him later. Let's just spend the day together and not worry about anyone else. How about we head to the hot tub outside for a little bit and enjoy ourselves?"

"Awesome idea. Let's clean up our breakfast dishes and then we'll go outside." We stood up from our living room couches and headed to the kitchen to clean up before spending the rest of our day together.
