My new fanfic! Enjoy everyone.
Dan and Serena are best friends, roommates and, on occasion, friends with benefits. What happens when Dan finds someone new?
Have you ever
How can it be wrong if it feels so right?
Their toothbrushes sat in the same cup by the sink, and they're bedrooms were across the hall from each other. They watched movies together and shared dinner nearly every night, they kept their relationship entirely platonic for nearly four years of college… at least until now.
Was it so wrong?
"You always take showers that are way too hot" she heard a voice and jumped to see Dan peeking in with his hand feeling the temperature of the water. Surprises like this we're becoming somewhat frequent, but Serena wasn't about to complain. Exam week of their last year at NYU and they both needed this kind of stress relief.
"You jerk!" she smirked after being startled.
"You really need to lock the door, what if it wasn't me?, could have been some psycho" he peered in. Serena ignored him and continued to let the steamy water pulse on the back of her neck. The reason he was there was obvious and Serena would let him sweat it out, giving in eventually of course.
"why aren't you in class?" she washed the shampoo out of her hair and asked him.
"I thought I'd come home and…spend some time with you" he said still watching her. Then trying to be patient while picking up shampoo bottles and reading the labels. Tiny water droplets making little black dots on his grey t-shirt.
"You're crazy" Serena smiled and turned around, she knew she was teasing him but loved that she still had that power, even if they weren't together. Soap cascaded down the crease of her spine and she slowly lifted her arms, then ran her hands through her blonde soaking wet hair. Dan put down the bottle immediately and swallowed hard watching Serena run her hands over her body quite erotically. Covering her breasts with one arm she turned back to see if he was still watching her. Being patient he watched soap flow down her lean body, he knew she must have felt smooth under his hands and he needed to touch her. Serena knew she was being cruel, but the way he was looking at her made her feel empowered and sexier than she had ever felt with any other guy. Dan wiped his forehead which was getting damp from the water particles that were accumulating.
"Perv" Serena smirked before turning herself back around to face the stream.
"I'll wait for you out here" he closed the shower curtain feeling as though his attempt had failed.
"Wait, wait…," she called.
"Yeah." his head peeked in again.
"I need someone to wash my back, I just cant seem to reach it" she pretended she couldn't reach as she demonstrated.
"See?"
"Well, don't you worry" Dan took his shirt off with one quick motion and got under the steamy stream. Caressing her, he washed her back with sudsy soap that felt down to her legs. She turned to face him and their lips touched softly. Dan placed his hand on her breast, it filled his hand with it's round shape, he wondered how she concealed their volume under clothes.
Blair knocked on the door of Serena and Dan's apartment only to get no answer which was usually the case.
"Open up!" she yelled while still rapping on the door. Serena was known to blare her music and usually didn't hear when someone was at the door.
"It's fine, I'll let myself in" she spoke to herself before opening the door and letting herself in Dan and Serena's cozy home. It wasn't large but it wasn't by any means small. Blair took a seat on one of the black leather chairs that were positioned around a large coffee table that held the newspaper and about twenty fashion magazines. Blair noticed that someone was in the shower, and hoped it was Serena, she hated the idea of wasting her time waiting for Humphrey when he wasn't the person she was there to see. A sound from the bathroom was with out a doubt coming out of her best friend. Blair's jaw dropped and she giggled happy that Serena was getting some action. It had been awhile and Serena and her often discussed her dry spells and how it was hard to find casual sex.
Serena wrapped her arms around Dan's neck and kissed him, each kiss more passionate than the last. This particular "stress relieving session" was satisfying, Serena had come within thirty seconds of him entering her from behind. When they both had finished they smiled at each other with relieved but exhausted faces. Serena turned on the cold water to cool them both down and they shared one last kiss under the water before getting out of the shower. Dan walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. Shocked, he saw a brunette sitting on a couch.
"Blair!" he swallowed surprised to see her, and a little embarrassed that him and Serena's secret had just been exposed.
"Dan…" she was completely at a loss for words and averted her eyes to the ground after seeing him half naked.
"Blair?" Serena said following with a towel on her head. "we were just…"
"Saving water by showering together" Blair said quickly not wanting to think about it. The thought of Serena and Dan getting back together and breaking up and getting back together and breaking up, gave Blair a migraine.
"…Yeah" Serena hesitated feeling embarrassed.
"Yepp, that's it" Dan said giving Serena a naughty smile while slipping into his room to put some clothes on. Blair gave Serena a scolding stare as she bent over and dried her hair with a towel. Dan came out of his room a few seconds later.
"Okay, I'm going back to class" Dan let them both know, his hair soaked.
"See you later" Serena said flipping her hair up.
"What?" Serena looked at Blair, questioning the look on her face.
"Really?…not a good idea" Blair scolded.
"Blair…" Serena began.
"How long has this been going on?"
"A few weeks" Serena answered honestly. Blair's eyes instantly widened with complete revulsion.
"So you're back together?"
"No, oh no" she answered like it was the most ridiculous idea.
"Serena, friends with benefits is so high school!…you are almost done college, and you know these things never work out."
"Blair, it's just sex. It's exam week." Blair looked disgusted.
"Then find a stranger!, not your best friend whom…let me remind you, you used to date!…I told you, living with him would be a big mistake" Serena rolled her eyes at Blair who was clearly overreacting. Blair offered for Serena to live with her on plenty of occasions but there was something about living with Dan that attracted her, maybe it was the way he knew how to cook.
"That's why it's easy!, it's all been done. It's familiar territory, it's nice, no it's good…it's really good" she said dreamily making Blair want to spew.
"Your being dumb"
"How?" Serena continued to dry her hair with her already soaked towel.
"Things like this never end well, Dan is going to fall in love with you again and the whole thing is going to start all over" Blair stood.
"He's not going to fall in love with me" Serena said as if it was absurd.
"yes, he is" Blair retorted definitively. "I have to go, I just need to know one thing" she threw her bag over her shoulder.
"Do you kiss him?" Blair asked. Serena opened her mouth and thought about it before nodding slightly.
"That's all I'm saying" Blair said as she exited the apartment.
When Blair was gone Serena thought about it. Maybe it was a bad idea, maybe Dan really would fall back in love with her. Dan falling back in love with her was the last thing she wanted. They were bestfriends and they decided not to complicate things by keeping their relationship platonic, it had been great. However, after a few too many glasses of wine one night, one thing led to another. It would be a terrible idea to get back together with Dan, she tried to tell herself, it was something she definitely didn't want right?

Okay, it's new and I hope you like it. I'm trying to give it a Friends vibe. I'm going to pretend that everyone is friends now and all the bad is put in the past. It's short but I will make longer ones if it's well received. Reviews are always appreciated :)
