Disclaimer: I don't own Gossip Girl, any of its characters or anything of that much value.
Summary: "Because I love you." You were mine the moment I said it, wrenched it from my throat. CB Drabble leading to 2x25
A/N: Trying something different so see how it goes. Going for angsty, sorta. Before the wonderful Season 3 fluff begins!
Didn't you know?
You are mine.
It is that simple. You can run till your heart bursts, spin till your axis tilts, yell till you're raw and burning. Mine, mine, all of it is mine.
You were mine the moment I said it, wrenched it from my throat. Was it a whisper or a scream? All I heard was the rushing in my ears.
Focused in that one breath, waiting for your eyes to focus. To come back to me.
Because I love you.
…
Didn't you know?
I wanted to be yours.
You are mine, but what did that make me?
Alone on the sidewalk as your limo sped away. Alone in my room with a note and your scent on my pillow. Alone as my dream future slipped into dark reality.
With no one to claim me, I belonged to no one.
All I ever wanted was to belong.
…
Didn't you know?
I was broken too.
That night when you clung to me, tears streaming and hair matted. I clung to you just as hard. You were broken, so I was too.
How could I be whole when you were hollow? Chuck and Blair don't contrast, we match. Always, no exception.
If you jump, I'll jump.
…
Didn't you know?
You are my weakness.
When my scripted prince came to collect me, I still hoped that you would come and burn the pages.
I believe the words you say to me. When you said that it was a game, that the lies and the hurt were for nothing, I believed you.
I am not weak. Not for anything but you.
…
Didn't you know?
I didn't let go.
I called you for one final mission, stepped into your limo on a fruitless quest and held your hand when you held mine.
When I made you laugh, I smiled and it finally matched my eyes.
On the steps after prom I made Serena repeat your words, over and over.
…
Didn't you know?
Your voice was the one I wanted to hear.
I love you too. I love you. I love you, that's three. Four, I love you.
And now I'm yours too.
