Someday

AN: I was spring cleaning and found this letter (probably more of a short note) that I had written from Dan to Blair back at the beginning of season five. Back when I still wasn't sure the writers weren't trolling, and didn't know if Dair would happen this season.

It's not very long, but I wanted to share it because I am so glad I didn't come down to this. They are together now, and they are endgame.

Summary: Dan disappears but before he leaves he writes Blair a letter. Written to correspond with end of episode 501 – Yes, Then Zero

Note: The song Someone Like You by Adele was used as inspiration for this.

Somehow

Blair,

I'm writing this after watching you walk away. Watching you leave out my front door… with him.

You asked me what possible reason I could have for letting you almost walk away from everything. I couldn't say the words then because I knew they weren't what you wanted to hear but there is a certain amount of courage that comes with writing and I can say it freely now.

I am in love with you, and I didn't wish you over-whelm you with my feelings. I've been holding on to this for almost a year, maybe longer when I really take the time to think about it.

With love, sometimes it lasts and sometimes it hurts instead. Right now it hurts because I know you wouldn't and maybe couldn't love someone like me. I'm not your prince, but you should know you'll always be a queen to me.

I'm leaving this in your room and I don't expect you to find it anytime soon. You probably wont see this until after your married, so I suppose then it really wont matter in the end. Maybe I'll be married, maybe I'll find someone like you. Someone I can have amazing debates with and intellectual conversations that last hours… someone like you who can love me too.

I don't blame you, or feel any ill will towards you because, I understand. You were raised in a world where Blair Waldorfs can't love Dan Humphreys until they've grown up and have already been with someone more appropriate. So if your mom and Lily are any model, then maybe we'll have our happily ever after in twenty years.

I think I will still love you fifty years from now, so…

Dan

End

I loved this, because it didn't come down to them having to wait to be in love! So thankful that is the case! :]] I can't remember if I purposefully stopped it so abruptly or if I simply got distracted. Either way, it feels right to stop it there.
