After their first kiss, Dan and Blair were sorting out their friendship/not-friendship thing. At first, they both agreed it meant nothing. (When they really felt something) and decided that they were just friends. Good friends. So they went back to the way they were before the kiss. They kept going on movie dates, sometimes even having unexpected sleepovers. Then the Prince came. For Blair, to sweep her off her feet. Much to my disappointment, he succeeded. And Dan was left heartbroken. He knows that he don't really have a claim over Blair. But he thought there might be hope for them. If only. Since Blair and Louise became a couple, Dan had been avoiding Blair. So Blair went to the loft unexpected.
Dan was having a movie marathon when he hears a knock. Much to his surprise it was Blair outside his door. And as usual, she comes in without him inviting her in.
"Dan! What the hell is wrong with you? Why haven't you been answering my calls?"
"Well, I… uhh. I've been busy. And I'm sure you were too." He says as he sits on the couch. "So how are things with the Prince? "
Blair looked at him in surprise. "Is that what this is about? Is Louise the reason you've been avoiding me? Wait, Are you jealous?"
"WHAT? What? Me Jealous? Pssh. Me? Really, Blair?"
That's when it hit Blair. "Oh my gosh! How long has this been going on? It was after the kiss right? It must be after a kiss. God, Humphrey what are we going to do?" Blair said panicking.
"Blair, Calm down. What do you mean what are we going to do? We're gonna stay friends."
"Stay friends? We can't do that. For Pete's sake, you have feelings for me. I'm with someone. I'm engaged. I came here to tell you." She said hesitantly.
"Oh." That's all he can say.
"Dan, I'm sorry. I didn't want to tell you like this. Louise proposed to me last night…. "
"And you said yes?" "And I said yes." They said in chorus.
"I need a drink." Dan said. "Come on, don't look so sad."
Dan laughed "How can I do that when the person I love is being taken away from me?"
"Dan." Blair looked sad too, he doesn't want her to be like that. So he tried to lighten up.
"You're right. As long as you're happy. I'm happy. You are happy, right?"
"Yes. He makes me happy." Blair said but she felt like she just lied.
"Blair. That's great. Congratulations." Dan hugged her. As he hugged her, she felt surprised but comfortable.
"Well, I should go. Louise is waiting for me." Blair said. "Right. Tell him I said congrats."
"Yeah. I guess I'll see you around then. "Blair said almost sadly.
"See you around then. " With that Blair was outside the door. And Dan's could feel that he just lost the most important person in his world.
