A/N: I don’t even remember where this came from! But I’ve pretty much got the idea nailed down. The boys won’t let me sleep until I write it! So, here!

From Darren:

Don’t go out with anyone from work. I’m taking you out on a date. Go home, change into something casual. Namely the outfit that’s on the bed. Then in an hour, go to Captain Pete’s…it’s where it all began for us. See you later, yeah?

Chris Colfer could’ve sworn that there hadn’t been clothes on the bed an hour ago. He was wondering how they’d gotten there. He knew Darren was up to something. There had been a twinkle in his eye all day. He read the text message and smiled. That’s when he knew Darren was up to something. So, he went and jumped in the shower. After he relaxed and wondered why he was going to Captain Pete’s, he changed into the outfit Darren had picked out. A blue Henley scoop neck shirt that showed off Chris’s collarbones (and the numerous amounts of hickey’s that Darren tended to leave) and complimented his eyes perfectly, and a tight pair of skinny jeans. He looked at his watch and smiled. He knew how to get to Captain Pete’s and also he knew that he was going to be late if he didn’t leave now. So, he smiled thinking about that first night. He wasn’t absentmindedly driving, just wondering what Darren had in mind. Once he got to Captain Pete’s, he smiled. Because he saw his man standing there, looking amazing in a green sweater and black jeans. He also had a picnic basket. Chris parked his car next to Darren’s and then stepped out. He walked over to Darren and smiled softly. 

“You look incredible babe.”

Darren said, leaning in to kiss Chris. Chris accepted the kiss and moaned into it. Darren pulled away reluctantly and grabbed Chris’s hand.  Chris noticed there wasn’t a soul around, which was odd, because Captain Pete’s was a miniature golf course, and this was a Friday night. This was when it was usually the busiest.

“Thank you, Dare. You do too. Green always compliments your skin tone. But you knew that. So, why are we at Captain Pete’s Miniature Golf course, and why is it closed?”

“It isn’t closed…per se. It’s closed for a private party.”

Darren smiled and took his hand. Chris knew that Darren had been planning something all day. When he wasn’t filming, he was on the phone to his manager. Now he knew why. Darren smiled at the lady at the counter. He selected two putters and a blue ball for himself, while Chris went for a darker green ball. Leave it to each other to pick golf balls the color of each other’s eyes. Darren led Chris to the first tee, a lighthouse. Chris smiled at the haunting symbolism of it.

“A lighthouse.”

“You know I love lighthouses, babe. We’re only playing five holes. There’s something at hole five that I’ve got all planned out. So, this is where we danced for the first time. Do you remember?”

Chris nodded and swung his putter and watched as the ball headed through the little slot and Chris turned to look at Darren, with all the love in his heart. Chris thought back to that day, as Darren lined up his shot.

Two years previously:

Chris stood there, waiting for Darren to take his shot. He’d heard the dance music slow down into a romantic song, and Darren turned to Chris and smiled. This was one of his favorite songs, and being here with Darren was sort of symbolic. Sure, it was their first date, but Chris had been in love with Darren since that first day they’d met. Darren turned around to look at Chris and smiled warmly at him.

“Dance with me, Christopher?”

Chris nodded, looking around and seeing other couples doing the same thing. He put his putter down, and took Darren’s hand. Darren pulled him close, not caring who saw him. He watched as Chris placed his head on his shoulder. Darren dropped his head and started singing in Chris’s ear.

After the song ended, Darren kissed Chris softly on the lips, knowing that this was going to be the beginning of a beautiful relationship. Chris blushed and turned to take his shot, knowing that he was in love…

Chris knew Darren was planning something. He couldn’t quite put his finger on it, but Darren was recreating their first date in so many ways. They made their way to hole number two, as Chris started to laugh. He remembered that he had so many pictures of Darren straddling the Dinosaur’s tail and trying to do very inappropriate things to the Dinosaur. As Chris lined up his shot first, Darren unabashedly stared at Chris’s ass.

“Mmm…the things I do to that ass.”

“Darren, stop trying to distract me.”

“Why, is it working?”

“Yes, now stop it. I’m trying to sink the hole.”

“I know a hole I’d like to sink.”

Chris blushed deliciously and swung the club, knowing that the ball was going to go wide. Darren chuckled, and squeezed Chris’s ass, before lining up to take his shot. Chris grinned and ran over to distract Darren, so he copped a squeeze too. Chris walked away and grinned at his boyfriend, knowing that Darren was sufficiently distracted, now too.

“Bitch.”

“I know, but you love me. Now come on…put the ball in the hole like a good boy.”

“Christopher, stop it! Do you know what the innuendos are doing to me?”

“I’m counting on it.”

Darren grinned and shook his head. His plan to propose to Chris was going smoothly. The lighthouse memory was still fresh in his brain. He couldn’t believe that this beautiful boy was his. They’d had all kinds of trouble, but whatever problems they’d had, made them stronger as a couple. Darren took Chris’s hand and let them to hole number three. Chris smiled at the cottage. It was a little thing, like some bed and breakfast Darren had taken him to, to celebrate their one year anniversary.

One year previously…

“Ta-da! What do you think?”

Darren asked, removing the silly pink Wayfarers that he always wore. Chris was over the moon about this. They’d seen this place on one of their road trips to see his parents. Chris was shocked that he’d remembered about this place, but when it came to his relationship, Darren remembered everything. Chris walked around the little cottage and smiled.

“It’s as every bit as lovely as I’d thought. Darren, what is this?”

“I know it’s not something big or extravagant, but it’s special. I needed to do something amazing for our anniversary, and a weekend at a bed and breakfast is exactly what is called for. I love you so much, Christopher, and I want our anniversary weekend to be special.”

And Chris started to cry. It had been a truly beautiful weekend. It had flowers and candles and a lot of love making. The perfect way to spend their anniversary. Wrapped up in each other’s arms, with nowhere else to be.

“Where did you go there, Chris?”

“Oh, sorry babe. I was thinking about the B&B.”

Darren walked over to his boyfriend and kissed him softly on the lips. He was going to skip the whole thing. He suddenly wasn’t in the mood to play the rest of the game. So, he took Chris’s putter and put it down. He took Chris’s hand and led him over to the fifth hole. The Eiffel Tower. Well, a replica of the Eiffel Tower. Chris gasped when he took in the scene in front of him. There was a blanket, and a picnic basket and candles everywhere. Chris turned to look at Darren.

“What’s this?”

“I’m going to give you the entire world. But first, I want to sing to you. That song…that we heard on our first date. I’m going to sing it now.”

Darren said, sitting down on the blanket with Chris. He grabbed his guitar and started singing, knowing Chris would know the song, and just how symbolic it was for them.

“From the first day

That I saw your smiling face

Honey, I knew that we would

Be together forever

Ooh when I asked you out

You said no, but I found out

Darling that you’d been hurt

You felt like you’d never love again

I deserve a try honey just once

Give me a chance and I’ll prove this all wrong

You walked in, you were so quick to judge

But honey he’s nothing like me

I’ll never break your heart

I’ll never make you cry

I’d rather die than live without you

I’ll give you all of me

Honey that’s no lie

As time goes by

You will get to know me

A little more better

Girl that’s the way love goes, baby baby

And I (I) know you’re afraid (know you’re afraid)

To let your feelings show (feelings show)

And I understand

Boy, it’s time to let go (boy it’s time to let go, because)

I deserve a try honey

Just once

Give me a chance and I’ll prove this all wrong

You walked in, you were so quick to judge

But darlin’ he’s nothing like me, baby why can’t you see

I’ll never break your heart

I’ll never make you cry

I’d rather die than live without you

I’ll give you all of me

Honey that’s no lie”

Darren looked up at Chris and saw he was crying. It was a beautiful version of a beautiful song that they loved together. Darren took out the champagne and poured them a glass. He set up the sandwiches, and Chris smiled.

“This is an amazing night, Dare.”

“I think so too, love. And it’s only going to get better.”

Darren said, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a black velvet pouch. Chris looked at Darren questioningly and then gasped as Darren got up on one knee, taking Chris’s hand in his. He kissed it softly and started speaking.

“Two years ago, I met someone who changed my life. He made me see that love isn’t always black and white, it’s various colors. That’s what I love about you. Your perception of the world, your blatant optimism, your love for me. You gave me a chance when you had no reason to. You loved me, even when I didn’t know how to. I know, I’m going to sound cheesy using this Klaine euphemism, but you are perfectly imperfect. And I love that most about you. I came back to the one place where our love blossomed, and where we fell harder than two people should. I look forward to starting a journey with you. A beautiful journey. You’re not just my boyfriend, Christopher. You’re my best friend. Now, as such, I’m asking you to do me a favor. Become my husband? Be my permanent forever? I love you, Christopher Paul Colfer…will you marry me?”

Darren opened the velvet pouch to reveal a ring, rather similar to the one that Christopher had given him all those months ago. He looked up at Darren with unabashed tears in his eyes and nodded.

“Yes. Yes Darren, I will marry you!”

Darren slid the ring on Chris’s finger, knowing that in this moment things were perfect. He kissed Chris softly, knowing they had all the time in the world to be together, physically.
