Title: Freshly Ground Heaven
Character/Pairings: Everything is fair game.
Summary: Spanning time, distances and heartbreaks. Our favorite New Yorkers contemplate life, love and sex over a cup of coffee.
Disclaimer: All the characters are the property of the CW and Cecily. This is merely my own wild imagination.
I make serious coffee - so strong it wakes up the neighbors.
Lily van der Woodsen's lips were blue at eighteen. She wore gloss smeared over them, skirt so short and so tight that her legs were blue, too. She looked an angel. A cold, blue angel in a pretty pink dress her hoop earrings teeter as she struggles to balance herself.
Rufus spies her across the crowd, that heart stopping moment and when his blue angel points a camera lens in his direction, he knows that Lily van der Woodsen will be every cliché he ever dreamed possible.
His legs carry him to her when he hops off stage, eyes seeking her face in the thinning crowd and there she is. Popping back a can of Guinness, lips white and numb and his finger close over her hand.
"You don't want to drink that." His voice is low in her ear and her shiver has nothing to do with the wind.
"Why not?" and she's already smiling at him and she almost wants to slap herself for being so giddy. Almost being the key word.
"Because you're cold." He says it right against her lips, leaning in far too fast and she doesn't even know his name but his arms blanket her own and she feels warm all of a sudden.
His leather jacket hangs off of her thin shoulder, covering the acres of skin that the Armani number left bare. His hands are on her waist and they huddle together for a bit more than warmth, foreheads aligned and he whispers.
"Want to go get some coffee?"
A/N- I would really love feedback on this chapter. I wanted to do a one shot for each canon pairing but I'm running out. I can't write Dan/Serena for the life of me but do you have any non canon suggestions?
