…

Serena's gasp was caught in the back of her throat, upon entering the bedroom as her right hand had instantly clung firmly to her mouth. There they were, sleeping. Legs intertwined, content smile's on both of their faces. And to top it off Breakfast At Tiffany's softly playing in the background. She felt her eyes began to water, but she didn't know why. Her and Dan were not dating, she had no right to be mad. Just as quickly as entering the room, she left. Tears fumbling down her cheeks as she managed to reach the exit. If this is half of how bad Blair felt hearing the news about her and Nate. She deserved this and possibly more.

Slowly she wandered around central park, ice cream cone in one hand, stiff napkin in the other. They always cheered her up, But it wasn't working today. She sat at the bench, watching an old lady feeding the birds with the contents from her brown paper bag. The old lady caught her watching, and smiled at her. She smiled back, and then looked down and her melting ice cream, sticking to her hands.

"Serena….?" A male voice came from behind her.

Serena looked up, and sighed in relief. "Aaron, hi."

"Why are you sitting all alone?" He questioned, taking a seat beside her.

She giggled her normal kindergarden-esque laugh. "I'm not anymore." she said, quickly wiping a stray tear from her eye.

"What's wrong?" he asked softly, touching her pale blonde hair.

She was comforted by this. "You really want to know?"

Aaron nodded. "Of course."

She smiled, maybe it didn't matter so much after all.

…

Blair woke up from her peaceful slumber, feeling oddly comfortable. Her bed was feeling quite lumpy though. She looked up to see she was laying on Dan Humphrey's chest. Her eyes went wide with fear, but she didn't dare to move. Slowly Dan eye's opened along with his mouth. His eyes became wide as well as he took in his surroundings.

"Hi…" he said softly.

She looked away from his gaze and sat up. "Hi…"

"Blair .. I didn't-"

"I know." she interrupted.

"Stop interrupting me." he said firmly.

Blair turned around and scoffed. "Excuse me?"

Dan shook his head. "At least let me have a chance to speak."

Blair rolled her eyes. "I don't give you a chance, because it's so obvious what you're going to say."

"I always know you'll have some rude remark, but I let you continue." Dan spat.

"Well, how noble of you!" she exclaimed, getting up out of the bed.

"Yes, it is." Dan started. "Even though you are one of the biggest, most manipulative bitches I have ever met. I'm still kind to you."

"Thank for the compliment." Blair retorted. "You think you're above me, which is worse than me being a bitch to you."

"Above you?!" Dan said, raising his voice. "How could you possibly think I think that?"

Blair furrowed her eyebrows. "What?"

"I don't even know." Dan said, pacing the room.

"This would never work." Dan said quietly.

Blair shook her head. "What are you blabbering about now?"

Dan glared at her. "You know, us?"

"Why were you even considering that?"

"I don't know!"

Blair looked down at him, her eyes narrowing in on him. "I think you should leave."

"Happy to."

"Good." Blair said quietly.

"Fine." Dan muttered.

Blair heard the slamming of her bedroom door and lay back down on her bed. The tears were begging to escape, but she wouldn't let them. She hated everything about Dan Humphrey. He was a hypocrite, a jerk, and he lived in Brooklyn. That was good enough reason as any to hate him. She decided a list was in order, all the reasons why she hated Dan Humphrey. She turned around to grab a stray piece of paper and pen and was startled by what she saw.

There he was, standing in her doorway. Looking like a lost puppy who had nowhere else to go. A slightly frown on this lips, and his dark eyes boring into hers.

"What do you want Dan?" she questioned quietly.

"You." he said, walking towards her with caution.

"You hate me." she started.

Dan nodded. "..and you hate me. But there's a thin line between love and hate."

"I think I've just crossed over." Blair said, feeling his hot breath on her cheek.

He let go of his worries and fear and kissed her, she returned the kiss which made him feel relieved, and even more certain he wanted this.

Slowly the both made there way to the bed near by, stumbling on each others lips and feet. A giggle was caught in her throat as they both tripped, barely making it on to the bed.

"I love your laugh." he whispered in between kisses.

Blair stopped and looked at him. "When do you ever hear me laugh?" she questioned, hunger in her eyes.

"Only when were alone." Dan said, pausing. "I think that's why I enjoy it so much."

Blair silenced him with another kiss.

She quickly began unbuttoning his shirt, hands slightly shaking, heart beat going faster than ever before. Dan noticed her anxiousness, and lightly kissed her cheek.

"Do you want to, do this?" he whispered into her ear.

Blair nodded, feverishly biting down on her lip. That was all the assuring he needed. His hand skimmed over her stomach, causing her stomach to erupt with butterflies.

…

"Well, thanks for walking me to my door." Serena laughed.

"No problem." Aaron smiled. "Thank you for letting me in this afternoon."

Serena blushed under his gaze. "Well, thank you for listening. I feel a bit better now that I've told someone, you know?" she asked, mostly to herself.

Aaron nodded. "I do." he sighed. "You need to ask Blair how she feels about Dan, be honest with her, and she will be honest with you."

Serena nodded, laughing. "I'll remember those wise words."

They both shifted under the unsettling silence.

"Well, bye." Serena smiled. Just as he pulled her into a kiss, she responded eagerly, things heating up. Before they were interrupted by the door opening.

"Wow, I thought I had to pay for this kind of action." Chuck drawled.

"Chuck!" Serena scoffed, hitting his chest as hard as possible.

Aaron looked between the two. Serena looked at Aaron, understand what he assumed. "Oh, ew no. This is my step-brother, Chuck. Chuck this is Aaron."
"Never stopped you before." Chuck said, smirking at Serena.

Serena glared at him. "We've never." she said quickly, assuring Aaron.

"Chuck Bass." he said, extending a hand to Aaron.

Aaron hesitantly took the hand shake. "Aaron Rose."

Chuck nodded. "Well nice to meet you Aaron, but would you mind if I talked to my dear Sister in private for a moment."

Serena rolled her eyes. "Yeah, I have to get going anyways." Aaron said quickly, smiling at Serena once more before leaving.

Serena stomped in the house. "Chuck, must you always be such a pervert?" she questioned, shrugging off her jacket.

"Oh come on Serena, I know you've dreamt about it before."

Serena nodded. "Those are called nightmares, Chuck." he narrowed her eyes at her, as she inspected her nails. "What did you want to talk to me about?"

"How did things go with Blair." he questioned, noticing her tense up at the question.

She looked away from him, knowing oh so well if he looked in her eyes the jig was up. "Fine." she said nonchalantly.

"Did you guys make up?" Chuck questioned, becoming more irritated by the second.

"Yes." Serena said quickly, eyes still glued to her fingernails.

Chuck sighed. "I'm looking for more descriptive answers."

Serena threw her hands in the air. "What do you want me to say Chuck? We had a heart to heart and then started a big pillow fight, and after being tired out from that made out by the fire?" she babbled.

Chuck's eyes lit up. "Yes."

Serena rolled her eyes. "Things are fine with me and Blair. Okay?" she spat, walking as fast as heels would allow to her room.

Chuck watched her go, he was more confused than before.
