Friday Morning
"Conversation go well last night I take it?" Serena guessed as she watched Blair prance around the hallway, practically skipping around, the next morning at school.
Blair turned and smiled at Serena, a sight that was out of place in the Constance hallways. "As a matter of fact, it went fantastic!"
"Really?" Serena's eyebrows rose in surprise as she leaned against the locker adjacent to Blair's, crossed her arms, and prepared herself to listen to Blair's lengthy discourse.
"We're together." It was all she said.
Serena's eyes bugged out of her head as she straightened out quickly and felt her mouth hang open in the shock. "You're kidding?"
Blair's face returned to its usual scowl as she closed the door of her locker and stared at Serena angrily. "Why is that hard to believe?"
Clearing her throat and adjusting the look of shock on her face, Serena quickly attempted to remedy the situation. "Sorry. It's not... I mean, it's just a little shocking. I thought you guys were going to agree that the whole affair was preposterous and that you should stop immediately."
"Why should we do that?" Blair shot back. "We love each other."
The silence that ensued was beyond uncomfortable. "Love...? You love each other?"
Blair sighed as she leaned against the locker in frustration. "I... well I do," she shrugged, attempting her hand at nonchalance. "I'm not too sure about him. Though I'm aiming toward yes on his part as well."
"Wow..." it was all Serena could muster.
"Gee, S. Don't be too enthusiastic."

"You look like a cat who caught the canary," Nate laughed as he stared over at Chuck, who happened to be glowing. That's right, Chuck Bass was glowing.
Chuck's smirk widened as he cast a quick glance over at Nate. "Is it that obvious?"
"Yeah. Now what is it that's suppose to be so obvious?" Nate prodded, completely caught up in trying to figure out what had his friend behaving so out of character.
Chuck spotted Blair come out to the patio and stood wordless to meet her. Nate followed Chuck with his eyes smiling.
And then it seemed as if his world collapsed on top of him. Chuck and Blair were... kissing. Full blown, lips, tongue and spit swap kissing.

"Eww, my eyes," Serena whined as she turned and walked away from her best friend and apparent new boyfriend, Chuck Mother-Effing Bass.
Blair giggled against Chuck's lips as Serena's words invaded her make out session and pulled away unwillingly. "My my, Mr. Bass. That was one heck of a kiss," she grinned wickedly as she stared up at him through hooded eyes.
"You ain't seen nothing yet, Waldorf," Chuck growled out as he closed the space between them once more and pressed her body closer to him.
Dropping her books to the floor, Blair wound her arms around his neck and lost herself in the sensation of his warm tongue swiping against hers, tasting the sweet flavor of the maple syrup they had had for breakfast. She stroked her fingers through his silky hair, grasping at its roots and holding on with fervor.
"What the fuck is this?!" the screeching sound invaded their senses and forced them to pull away too suddenly.
It took her a minute to adjust her sight to her surroundings, but as soon as she snapped out of her daze, Blair found herself staring straight into the face of a very pissed off Nate Archibald.

She felt Chuck's chest stiffen underneath her hands as she held on to him in her moment of disorientation. From the corner of her eye she spotted Serena staring at them worriedly, shoving her way through the crowd that had suddenly formed around them.
Fuck! She really shouldn't have given in to temptation and put on a very big amount of PDA just now. She was at school, in front of hundreds of maliciously evil Upper East Siders who were surely passing on the tip to Gossip Girl that Chuck and Blair had entered an incestuous relationship with their parents' wedding only a day away. Knowing her luck, Bart and Eleanor would have her bags packed and ready to ship her out to a European convent the moment she arrived to the penthouse this afternoon.
Releasing the breath she had unconsciously been holding, Blair straightened herself and turned to face Nate head on. She'd be damned if she was going to be displaced by a gangly crowd of teenagers. "Care to repeat your question, Archibald?" she said smoothly.
Serena reached her side then and stood next them both with an almost desperate expression on her face. "Nate this is probably not the best place to do this," she reasoned pathetically. Nate refused to even acknowledge that she had spoken.
"I said, what the fuck is this?" Nate spit out angrily.
Blair flinched at the harshness of his words, as Chuck stepped out from behind her and shielded her with his body. "Serena is right Nathaniel. This isn't the best place to do this, nor the right time."
"Fuck you, man. It's not the right place to have this conversation but it is the perfect place for you to shove your tongue down my ex-girlfriend's throat. And fucking grope her like you were about to hike her skirt up and fuck her right here in front of the entire student body!" Nate screamed, causing gasps and whispers to begin to spread across the crowd.
"Nathaniel," Chuck growled out angrily, "I suggest you watch what you say..."
"Or what, Chuck?" Nate challenged as he took a step closer to them.
"Step away. I don't want to do something I'll regret."
Nate laughed maliciously as he took a step closer, completely closing the distance between them staring down at Chuck. "You stab me in the back and now you want to threaten me?" Nate mocked indignantly. "That's just fucking perfect."
"He didn't stab you in the back. You and I are no longer together. And unless you forget, Archibald, you're the one that cheated on me and refused to tell me about it!" Blair accused angrily as she came around to stand besides Chuck.
"Shut up, Blair," Nate snapped.
"Don't talk to me like that!"
"Don't talk to her like that!" Blair, Serena and Chuck screamed out simultaneously.
"Look, Nathaniel. We didn't mean for this to happen. Or at least for you to find out this way. Blair and I, well... we're together..." Chuck confessed lamely.
"This is rich," Nate laughed as he ran a hair through his hair and took a few steps back. "I can't believe the gall of you two. You're both so fucking unbelievable."
"Us? How about you? Screwing Jenny Humphrey days after we broke up! Probably before I even broke up with you. What gives you the right all of a sudden to demand answers and object to Chuck and I's relationship?"
"How about three years of putting up with your bullshit? How about the whole 'first love', 'always have always will' nonsense you spat at me? And at the first chance you could grasp, you run into the arms of my best friend?! My best friend who is none other than Chuck Bass, the biggest whore in the entire Upper East Side!"
"And you run into the arms of some skank!"
"You would know, wouldn't you?" Nate said icily.
"What is that suppose to mean, Nathaniel?" Chuck asked quietly, his eyes darkening, his teeth clenching, his hands fisting.
"She's a slut. That's what that mea-"
Before Nate could finish his statement, the crunch of broken bones and the gush of oozing blood was the only thing that could be heard through the crowd of hundreds.
