Couples Counseling

Pressing my nose in his -still gelled- hair, I closed my eyes.

"Hey, hush. Whatever it is, I'm sure it's gonna be okay, huh?" I said softly, letting the words ghost over his ear.

Darren only pressed his nose deeper in the crook of my neck, almost as if he needed my scent to make sure I was there.

"It was the scene, wasn't it?" I asked him, gently steering us towards the couch.

Dropping us down softly, not breaking the hug, I tightened my grip on him slightly, before I let go of him. His hands automatically found mine, entwining our fingers.

For all the silence I got in response, Darren suddenly starts to mumble and I have to strain my ears to actually catch the words.

"It's not fair. Blaine feels like hell because the love of his life is leaving him alone for a whole fucking year, but he knows. He knows Kurt loves him just as much as he loves Kurt."

Processing his words I waited a few seconds before I replied.

"Kurt loves him just as much, yes. It's normal for couples to think this way when they have to seperate, you know that even better than I do."

Darren sniffled and changed the way he was sitting, so he was between my legs, resting his back against my chest.

Normally I wasn't this cuddly with anybody. But I could feel Darren needed it so I let it go.

"I know. I just. I'm gonna miss them."

I frowned at that.

"They're still together you know? Nothing's gonna happen."

I could hear the agitated sigh leave his lips.

"Eventually they will Chris. It's .. only five more episodes and then it's done. I know you're in the next season. But I haven't got the final yes yet.

I may not be here the next season. Kurt's gonna end up alone, knowing Ryan, because making Kurt miserable seems to be everything he can do."

"Hey now, don't blame this on Ryan. If you ask me, Kurt is really happy. He has Blaine. He's gonna be okay.

And you will be in the next season, trust me.

Kurt will be one sarcastic bitch otherwise and won't remember any of his lines," I said, trying to make him laugh.

Darren's teary voice made me want to do things I couldn't do to him.

"What if I'm not. You'll be here, making another perfect season, you'll shoot another perfect movie in which you'll play the most awesome lunatic ever, you'll write another book while in your spare time you write down other ideas you have for another movie.

You know why? Because everything you do is perfect. And I'm really proud of you."

I smiled at that, tears forming in my eyes, truly warmed with his words.

"You make it sound like you're just a lucky guy who can hop along with me Darren. Don't be stupid.

You're pretty perfect yourself. Look at everything you do. And you're never out of energy.

You still have to learn me the secret of that, Dare," I said and squeezed my arms around him, pressing him even closer.

"It's not just that."

I could hear a thousand unsaid words but didn't dare to ask any further.

Then, making my heart skip one beat by the tone he said it in, he uttered words that made me confused beyond words.
