Chapter 1: Will you be my best friend too?

Summary: Chuck and Blair are BEST-friends with benefits. What happens when their feelings come into play? Will it suffocate them or will they finally understand that cant be apart, even if it means jeopardizing their best friend status? Drama and chuck singing ensues. AU.

Disclaimer: If I did own it, shit wouldn't have gone down so badly for CB in Season 1. So, it belongs to the respective creators.

Notes:
&This is an AU (alternate universe) story meaning it doesn't follow the books or TV show (although I will be incorporating some stuff from the TV show in here).

&This is a challenge 1 set up by helenaxgal :

Blair, Chuck and the gang are still Upper East Siders, wealthy, etc. Their backgrounds are the same but friendships/relationships are altered. Blair and Chuck are best friends since childhood while Nate serves as Chuck's best guy friend and Serena as Blair's best girl friend. The situation is that Blair and Chuck have always been in love (cliche, I know, but the challenge will get harder), however they have not realized this. Since they were fourteen they have secretly been "make out" buddies a fact unknown to their friends. On Blair's seventeenth they do the deed and since then they have been sex buddies.

&This chapter is dedicated to K (iceprincess) & Christine (blairwaldorfbass) for kicking my sorry ass to post this.

& I am still continuing love is colder than death, this story was just for the challenge, fun and addition to new CB stories (which we need more off, because we don't don't have enough –winks-)

"Mmh, you have to let me go already."

"On the contrary, I'm not the one clinging on to myself for my dear life." He said against her lips against hers as her legs tightened themselves around his hips. He rubbed her thighs, as she tightly wound her arms around his neck. "Maybe we should try it this way, why don't you let go of me." But he refused to part his lips from hers.

Flash, Past.

"Why are you so sad?" Chuck asked the pretty girl with the short brown curls and big red bow headband. They were in pre-school.

"Because Serena and Nate are playing in the sandbox and they didn't ask me." She said, her big eyes full of sadness, like she just cried a few minutes ago.

"Oh. Why? They're playing boring games. Sandboxs are dirty." Chuck told her, emitting his disgust for sandboxes, watching Nate and Serena play in the sandbox happily together as Blair watched sadly.

"That's what I think too! But they both like sandboxes… I don't want my dress dirty, my mommy always scolds me." She said scrunching up her face at the thought of her pretty red and white polka dot dress getting dirty and mommy eventually scolding her for being a naughty girl.

"That's why Nate chose Serena to be his best friend." She said sadly and then pouted. "Because she likes the sandbox! I don't like the sandbox! I like to write, read…" then she saw how bored Chuck looked, she scooted closer to him and whispered, "Actually, I do like the PSP and DS, It doesn't get me dirty."

"Me too!!" Chuck beamed. Taking out a PSP out of his back pocket. Blair smiled wide as he gave it to her.

"Ooo!! Eek! You have GTA:Liberty City storie!" Blair gasped when she put it on just to see GTA as his game now. "This game is vulgar! And definitely not PG!" she said horrified. Chuck stared at her, was she serious?

"But so entertaining!" she beamed, "I didn't bring mine! Even if I did it wouldn't be GTA my mommy wouldn't allow it. My mommy says I have to go to school and learn." She told Chuck. "My daddy told me to go to Yale! I wanna go to Yale when I grow up." She said proudly.

"Oh, my daddy doesn't care." Chuck told Blair. "At least I don't think he does."

"Why??"

"He's too busy, he likes to travel, he likes planes and goes away a lot."

"Where's your mommy? Is it that woman who picks you up every time?? Because everyday it's a different woman, you have many different mommies??" she asked puzzled.

Chuck looked down, his eyes darkening and shrugged, "I don't have a mommy."

"Whaaaaaattt?? Whyyyyyyyy?" Blair asked in a high pitched voice, shocked Chuck didn't have a mommy.

He just shrugged, "I just don't have one. But I have all the games I want. My daddy buys me everything."

Blair looked at him for a bit, still holding his PSP. She sat down thinking, while she looked at him. He stared back, puzzled.

"What? See something you like?" he grinned.

"Do you wanna be my best friend Chuck??" Blair asked, looking at him hopefully.

Chuck looked at her; shocked to know she just asked him that. In school Chuck wasn't such a talker, he was most kept to himself, except times he was with Nate, whom he was close to during pre-school because they sat next to each other. He was thinking before he finally nodded, "Ok! But when I say play we play, when I say game over you give me back the game." He told her.

Blair stuck out her tongue, "Uh-uh!! When Blair says its over it is! If I wanna continue playing, we play!"

Chuck chuckled at her as she took the PSP and walked over to the swing and sat down, "Chuckkkkk how do you win level 23??" she asked him, and he walked over to her to show her how.

Flash, present.

"Bass…" Her lips still stuck onto his, her arms and legs holding him close to her.

"Waldorf…" His hands still rubbing her thigh.

"Let me go already." She told him breathlessly. "I have to go down.." Kiss. "And play…" Kiss "pretty perfect…" Kiss. "Hostess." Kiss.

Chuck pulled himself away from her kisses and quirked a brow. He clearly wanted to argue that she was the one clinging on to him, but after seeing her sexy and swollen lips, he decided to take that fall. So, he just chuckled and extracted himself from her.

"Your wish is my command, princess." He half bowed as she fixed the top of her dress, making sure she didn't scream 'I-just-had-sex-in-my-bedroom".

"Nathaniel is downstairs." Chuck told Blair. "He said the both of you are… uh, progressing? To new heights of your non-existent and or stagnant relationship?"

"Must you mock me, Bass? Just because I'm trying to see what this thing with Nate is like, doesn't mean I have to explain myself to you. And look who's talking. Do you even know what a relationship is? And its not what you call running around with 10 different sluts is. That's just called whoring."

"Ooooo" Chuck sucked in a breathe, "Burnnn."

Blair looked at him and rolled her eyes.

"Have you forgotten, Waldorf? I and Archibald are tight."

"Yes, your BFFL." She rolled her eyes.

"Somewhat, do you want me to whisper endearments that you're my BFFL too?" he walked closer to her and whispered, basically puked out those abbreviations. It was so gay.

"Do you know what BFFL means?" She asked looking at him.

"Just enough for me to not jump on my tip toes and start squealing like a girl on how our friendship is foreeveerrr." He made an annoying girly voice at the end, clearly mocking Blair's and Serena's friendship.

"Anyways….He tells me everything, and how…. Urhm innocent you are."

She quirked a brow at him, "I am innocent." She told him easily.

"Did I hear you right? Innocent? I think not, Waldorf. What we did just 5 seconds ago doesn't justify innocent." He smirked at her his eyes roaming her body.

She blushed, "Stop giving me those dirty looks. I'm not one of your whores. May I remind you… I am untouched, Bass." She reminded him that she was in fact still a virgin, "What we did 5 seconds ago doesn't justify sex either… It's called making out, keep up with the times. It is the 21st century, not the 17th." she rolled her eyes at him. His eyes smouldered remembering the fact she is indeed a virgin, even if they both did make out every other time, they hadn't actually… gone further than that.

They were just make-out best friends.

"Mmhh, but innocent in Nathaniel's world means pristine… pure…uncorrupted…" he said it in beats. "You, my dear are none of them." Stating out the fact she was indeed touched, even if she is a virgin. It didn't change the fact she was touched in so many ways by her best friend.

She clicked her jaw and stared at him, she hated the fact that what he said made sense. "Well, not like he knows what we're doing, and I intend to keep it this way."

" So do i." Chuck agreed. "Its just tiring listening to dear Nathaniel sing praises about your touched ass."

Blair gave him a glare before she hopped off her windowsill and went over to the mirror, checking her hair now. "Yes, but to Nathaniel, my ass isn't touched. So did he tell you all this?" Blair asked. "He always tells you everything, doesn't he? What else did he say about me?"

"That you're yadda yadda bla bla, stuff I didn't already know." he said boringly.

Blair rolled her eyes, "Wow, that's helpful."

"To think he would know you at least a bit better by now. We've all met in pre-school for gods sake, you should know what her fave flower is." Chuck shook his head.

"Hydrangeas." They both said at the same time. Blair finished combing her hair and smoothened down her dress.

"Well its not like we're together." She said turning around sideways to check her figure running a hand down her flat stomach.

"If you guys were, our games would have to stop." Chuck told her, as he stood up and walked right in front of her, wounding his arms around her tiny waist and squeezed her flat against his chest.If Blair decided to 'be' with Nate or even try to build a relationship with him, instead of just 'going out for dates' Chuck would seriously have to stop doing this with her because he didn't want to betray his friend more than he already did, plus Blair wasn't that type of person...

"It's not like we're together either." Chuck grinned down at her.

She looked up breathlessly at him, "Thank God for that."

"Mmmhmmm, its too early for us to stop our games...And I wouldn't want that, do I? It's not over till I say it is." he leaned down and gave her another searing hot kiss. They both made out for a while again before Blair broke off and ran to the door

"It has to stop someday, Bass." She told him, flashing a smile before cheekily walking out.

"I'm not betting on that, Waldorf." Chuck muttered to himself, smiling, before waiting a few minutes to go down to the party.
