Have Yourself a Merry Little Crissmas (A Darren Criss Christmas Love Story)

"So, uh... You're a vegetarian, remember?" Darren asked.
I laughed, "Yes, I remember."
"Well, I was just wondering what Christmas dinner would be this year, then?"
I tilted my head in thought. I hadn't planned anything out because I usually don't make dinner on holidays. I mean, I had fish, but did he want to eat that...?
"Uh, I have swai. We can go to the store if you want."
"Sounds great!" he smiled and quickly gathered his wallet, jacket, shoes, and sunglasses.
We walked to the nearest grocery store, both bundled up.
"Can we trade scarves?"
"Why?" I asked him.
"Because! You're wearing a Ravenclaw scarf and I'm wearing a lame Warbler scarf. Gimme!"
I dodged Darren's hands and started running to get ahead. He was chasing me and soon, I slipped on ice and fell on my butt.
"Ow!" I tried not to cry. He would make fun of me if I cried.
"Are you okay?"
"Fine."
He snorted. "No, you're not. I've known you for years. You're not 'fine'."
He had kneeled down next to me and his hazel eyes were so captivating... Our faces were not more than two inches apart.
I willed him to kiss me, but he just looked away, then back at me and cleared his throat.
"You ready to get up?"
"Hm? Yeah."
I was disappointed, but he helped me up and we continued to the store.


It. Is. Too. Damn. Cold.
I was shivering in my apartment with my coat still on, in front of my space heater. While Darren was laughing at me.
"Shut up! It's cold!"
"You'll never warm up like that," he told me, walking over. "Take off your coat."
"But...it's...it's...cold..."
"Geena, do you trust me?"
I laughed. "Of course!"
"Then take off yo coat!" I did and he attacked me in a hug. "Body heat!"
"Uhhh...."
"Trust me, it works!"
"Oh, and how would you know this, Mr. Criss?" I asked, trying to cover up the jealous venom that may spew out if he said anything about another girl and him cuddling it up.
"Movies."
"Mmm..."
We fell silent and just stood there in a hug. It was...weird. In a completely good way. I nuzzled his neck with my nose to keep it warm. His arms tightened and pulled me closer.
Why was this happening? Why was he doing this to me? I would never be able to piece myself back together now. I would hang onto this moment forever. But why am I doing it to myself?
"We forgot something at the store," he finally broke the silence.
"What?"
"I'll go buy it."
"I'm not going back out there."
He pulled away now, much to my disappointment. "Don't worry. Make some dinner or set up a movie or something. I'll get it."
"Er, okay?"
