This is simply a way to enjoy the lovely bromance that is CrissColfer.

Chapter One

Darren's hands were shaking. He'd never felt so nervous in his entire 24 years of living. Why was being such a dork, he's played in front of crowds 20 times larger then this one. He'd been practising with the Starkids for years now; there was no reason that he should be nervous. Darren Criss didn't get nervous.

"Darren!" Nick Lang's voice bounced off the cement walls in the hallway leading to dressing rooms. "Where you at Crissy?"

"Room 7 Nick." He hollered back, he then glanced at his watch, 10 minutes to show time.

"We're heading to the greenroom." Nick gasped when he saw him, "Hey, are you alright man? You look green." Nick had a good reason to be surprised because Darren looked like he was about to vomit up a cat.

"Yeah, Nick I-I'm fine. I'll be fine." But his voice cracked; sounding almost like he was trying to convince himself more than anything. With that Nick left him, leaving him alone with his thoughts. Dark thoughts raced through his mind, what if fell off the stage, what if his fans booed him? He'd never be able to show his face if he disappointed his fans.

The sight of hundreds of fans booing him everywhere he went was interrupted by the sound of his Potter Puppet Pals ring tone. He glanced at the display of his iPhone, which flashed a picture of Chris Colfer in his Dalton blazer. Before Darren could even think about why Chris would be calling him he grabbed the phone and accepted the call. His body practically aching to hear the younger mans silky voice.

"Chris." Darren huffed into the phone, "I've missed you."

"Darren!" Darren smiled as the sound of Chris' soft laugh filled his ear. "Well, you'll be seeing me sooner than you think."

"What are you talking about? Aren't you filming in LA? Did you forget that I'm at Leakycon? I'm actually just about to go on." Said Darren as he closed his dressing room and sauntered over to the greenroom. He pushed open the door with his foot since both hands we busy, one buttoning his shirt and the other holding the phone tightly not wanting to miss a single word Chris said. He collapsed on the nearest sofa in between two of the Joes.

"I was in LA-"

"You didn't quit the movie did you?" What was he thinking, that was the stupidest idea ever.

"No, no I didn't quit." Darren signed after hearing this. "But I'm just standing in this mosh pit beside little girls screaming about you."

Darren hadn't noticed till now but there was an awful lot of back round noise, but before he could ask where in fact Chris was he heard a familiar voice.

"Chris, that better be Darren so help me God."

"Yes, Jesus Amber." Chris snapped back. Wait, Darren thought, why would Amber Riley want to make sure Chris was talking me? "Anyways, Darren make sure you look to the left of the stage. I've arranged a surprise for you. Break a leg."

Chris hung up leaving a very confused Darren to do nothing but stare at his phone hoping it would magically come to life and tell him what Chris was mumbling about. He was just about to call Chris back when the lights flashed twice and chimes rang signalling them to get on stage.

ΘΘΘ

Darren stumbled on stage in the dark following the very dull glow in the dark green tape to his microphone stand. He grabbed a hold of it and took a deep breath. He then steeped onto the small square of tape so Cory Lubowich, who was manning backstage, knew Darren was ready.

"All set Jamie, cue lights." Cory murmured into his headset and with that the music started and the lights came up.

I've been alone
Surrounded by darkness
I've seen how heartless
The world can be

Darren opened his eyes and looked around the crowd smiling. He loved this, the fans, the music, every single thing. This is when he was the happiest.

I've seen you crying
You felt like it's hopeless
I'll always do my best
To make you see

Baby, you're not alone
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down
Cause nothing can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through

Now I know it ain't easy
But it ain't hard trying
Every time I see you smiling
And I feel you so close to me
And you tell me

Darren got out of his trance and glanced to left where he saw Chris freaking Colfer smiling and dancing. Smiling up at him, Darren's knees started to buckle. So he ripped the mic out and ran over to Chris and pulled him up on stage. The fans went insane.

Baby, you're not alone
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down
Cause nothing can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through

I still have trouble
I trip and stumble
Trying to make sense of things sometimes
I look for reasons
But I don't need 'em
All I need is to look in your eyes
And I realize

Chris was dancing on stage and the two men were smiling and Darren felt incredible. He'd never felt so alive in his life.

Baby I'm not alone
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna take us down
Cause nothing can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through, ooh

Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down
Cause nothing, nothing, nothing can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
You know our love is all we need
Our love is all we need to make it through

Darren belted out the last few lines, and stared into Chris' eyes. It was the best night ever, both men thought to themselves.

ΘΘΘ

After an intense bar crawl with the Starkids, Chris was walking, well actually more like stumbling back to his hotel room. When Lauren Lopez had started ordering tequila shots for everyone that's when Chris knew he had to bail. He wasn't really a big fan of tequila since he had over done it on his 21st birthday. After seeing the "demon" as he liked to call it come back up it wasn't so appetizing anymore.

It had started to rain just as he turned down one of the last streets to his hotel. He didn't mind though, maybe it would get the awful smell out of his clothes. Joe Walker had gotten completely mangled. The guy was an insane drinker, he drank practically double what Chris had drank plus some more, so it wasn't really a surprise to anyone when he puked all over Chris. No seriously, all down the front of his bright blue plaid shirt and down his black designer skinny jeans. Chris was pretty sure puke had some how managed to get into his grey converse. He was glad his jeans were so tight or else he might have Joe's puke in his underwear. To say Chris was royally pissed would be an understatement.

Chris walked down the back pathway to his hotel, when he heard the pounding of feet against the pavement. Who the hell would be running at three in the morning?

"Chris slow down." Darren called after him, his footsteps grew louder and then slowed as he approached the younger man. "I didn't get a chance to talk to you at the club; did you have a good time at the concert?" Darren seemed nervous, Chris honestly didn't remember a time literally ever where Darren had been nervous. Why now? Darren had just asked him a simple question, but then why did it seem as though the whole world was weighing on this one question.

"Chris?"

"Huh? Pardon?"

"I just asked you if you had a good time at the concert." Darren said shyly.

"Oh, right. Yeah, I've missed being on stage with you." Darren blushed. Wait, Darren Criss just blushed because of something he had said. "Darren, what's really going on? You don't seem like yourself."

"Well, I've been thinking…" Darren wiped his palms on the back of his skinny jeans.

"About?" Chris probed.

"About you and I." Darren breathed.

"Oh."

"It's just that, I've had these feelings and I was, uh, wondering if you had those feelings too?" Darren was staring right into Chris' eyes.

"Well, are you implying that you are attracted to me Darren?" Chris was going to make Darren say it, even though he knew exactly what he was talking about. Hell, subtlety is so not Darren's thing.

"IlikeyouChris."

"I'm sorry, what was that?" Chris was pushing it, but if Darren had feelings for him he should just man up and-

Darren's lips interrupted Chris' thoughts. He had ever so sweetly placed both his hands on either side of Chris' face and pulled their faces closer together. He then pressed his lips to the taller mans with the lightest of touches. Chris kissed him back but Darren pulled away too soon, which then lead to a small groan from Chris.

"I'm crazy about you Chris Colfer." Darren left Chris outside of his hotel and began walking back to the bar.

"Darren Everett Criss! You cannot kiss me then walk away!" Chris hollered to the hobbit's back.

Darren simply stopped, turned around and blew a kiss at him before continuing on his way.
