My take on 3x19.

Dan and Serena Fans. I wouldn't read if you like DV or NS.

Sitting in the Van Der Woodsen Bass Humphrey (is that what it is called now?) living room, listening to his father and Lily have yet another argument; a whimpering sound caught his attention. Dan could not choose to ignore it. He had heard this cry one too many times. Getting up off the couch he made his way over to her bedroom door, knocking lightly.

A slight knocking sound on her bedroom door caught her attention. Not even bothering to cover her tear stained face knowing her tears would not stop anytime soon she mumbled for whoever was at her door to come in.

Opening the door, the sight in front of him broke his heart. Sure, they had been broken up for a long time and those feelings should not still be there, but they were. He had tried to distract himself; he even thought he 'loved' Vanessa. He realized that he was still trying to numb the pain of his first real love moving on when he had not yet. What he did not know was that she had not gotten over him yet either. Maybe she did not even know it yet.

She was just confused. She thought she loved Nate. He seemed so perfect and familiar. They had done it all before when they should not have and maybe that was kept her wanting him back. She could finally see what being with him was like. It was not like what she thought at all. Once she finally had him, she realized Nate was not the boy she wanted. She wanted someone who probably did not want her anymore. Someone whom she used to be able to tell everything too. Someone whom she loved, and still did loved.

Standing in her bedroom door, he put all his thoughts of taking her in his arms and having his way with her and decided to climb into her bed with her and try to console her. Sitting on the opposite side of her bed, he sat cross legged and put his arms out for her to come hug him.

"What's wrong?" He asked her trying to help her feel better. He hated seeing her upset.

"I feel so stupid" She half mumbled into his chest, half cried out.

"You're not stupid. You're Serena Van Der Woodsen. You are a lot of different things but nothing near being stupid." He tried to get her to feel better.

She smiled at that. She forgot what it was like to be in his arms. After a few more minutes of sitting there with Serena snuggled up into Dan's arms, Dan broke the silence.

"So…. Are you going to tell me what happened tonight?"

"I don't want you to think I'm stupid," She mumbled again.

Taking her face in his hands, making her look at him deeply in the eyes,

"I would never think you're stupid. Serena come on, tell me. I want to help you,"

"You know how my dad is finally in town right?"

"Yeah, Serena what did he do to you? He seemed nice when you and I met him the other day,"

"It wasn't my dad that did something."

"I'm confused."

"A month ago I thought that I was done looking and getting my hopes up about my father to just be let down, so Nate told me to just call him and say I'm done, which I did. Well When I realized I wasn't done and I wanted to see him, Carter found him and I went to find him which lead to him being here now,"

"Ok, I know all of this…."

"Well when this was all happening some close to both of us was seducing Nate, I guess I might have been more okay with it if like he didn't want it or whatever."

"Serena you're starting to scare me."

Burying herself closer to him she mumbled "Jenny and Nate"

"Wait, my sister and your boyfriend?"

Nodding her head, Dan could not feel any worse for Serena. His own sister and her step-sister stole her boyfriend away from her. Sure Dan was ecstatic that Serena was not with Nate anymore. He was now one step closer to making her his again but she did not deserve what they did to her.

"I told you, I feel so stupid. It happened right in front of my face and I didn't do anything about it,"

"Don't say that. Serena, Nate is stupid for letting himself let you go."

"Thank you," Serena said looking lovingly into Dan's eyes.

"Anytime," Dan whispered lightly starring back into Serena's eyes, getting lost in them.

Abruptly breaking the stare fest, Serena could no longer look Dan in his eyes as she asked him her next question knowing that he was not single like her and all she knew was she wanted him, more than ever in this second, just looking him in the eyes.

"How are things with Vanessa, you seemed so happy last time I saw you guys together."

"Serena, Vanessa and I ended two weeks ago, and I couldn't be happier," Dan said making Serena look him in the eyes again.

"Do you miss it?" Serena asked, not really sure he got the context of her question.

"Being with Vanessa or you?"

Seeing her unsure of how to answer that Dan continued…

"I miss being able to hold your hand whenever I wanted. I miss being able to kiss you whenever I wanted, wherever I wanted." Dan wiggled his eyebrows as he said that last part. "Most of all, I miss being with you,"

This was all it took for Serena to tilt her head up and capture his lips in her own. Dan immediately kissed her back. He was glad that she felt the same thing that he did.

After a few minutes of them kissing, Dan broke the kiss.

"Are you sure? I mean you did just break up with Nate," Dan didn't want to take advantage of Serena.

"Dan, I love you. I thought I loved Nate. What he did was terrible, but he never made me as happy as you make me. I was just with him because I thought you were over me and I should be getting over you, but I wasn't. I couldn't"

"I love you too," Dan told Serena before kissing her again.

Ok, I'm not sure if I am going to keep writing this or keep it a one-shot so let me know what you think and review please!
