A/N: Ahh sorry for disappearing for a bit. It has been a crazy month with lots of activity. I was also struggling with what to write as the final chapter and the season finale of GG didn't help much. However, I'll still watch because it's their final season and I want to know what happens to all of them. Anyway, here is the last chapter!


Tonight I wanna dance
Can you do that with your man yea
Tonight I wanna groove
And let the music make you move
Move yea

The elevator door to the penthouse opened and Dan emerged with a happy smile. Blair looked up from the couch in surprise and set her coffee cup down. They met halfway as he started to talk.

"I know it's a Tuesday night but Nate is inviting us to Decibel as a celebration for The Spectator's –"

"Dan," Blair stopped her boyfriend.

He looked at her and sighed, "Too tired to go out?"

She gave him a sad smile, "I'm sorry… It's just that, I have homework to finish, a presentation to prepare for, an internship I can't afford to lose –"

Dan nodded his head, "I know, I shouldn't have come here while you were busy."

"You know I love it when you drop by," she walked over to him and gave him a kiss.

He smiled against her lips, "It's ok to take a break, Blair."

"I will," she assured him, "Just let me make it through this week."


The week passed but Blair's workload only seemed to increase. Dan watched from the sides as she immersed herself in papers, poster boards, and meetings. They spent their time cooped up in the penthouse finishing up as much work as possible. It was starting to put a strain on them since most of their time was spent working on deadlines, not for leisure.

"Blair," Dan sat down, "Can't you delegate some of the work to the other group members?"

She glared at him, "I got stuck with the slackers! Like I'd let them touch my project."

"I don't know," he shrugged, "That Devon guy seemed to understand your concept."

Blair thought about it, "I guess he can make copies to hand out to the class."

"You can't do everything yourself," he tried to reason.

"I'm doing well so far," she countered.

Dan asked, "When was the last time you went out with me? Or Serena? Or Nate? Every time they invite us out, you're always busy."

"If you want to go out with them, I won't stop you," Blair said, "You're free to hang out with them when you please."

"I want to hang out with you," he clarified.

She looked at him, "We do hang out."

Dan resisted rolling his eyes, "Your studying and my book revisions wasn't exactly what I had in mind."

"Just let me make it through the week," she told him.

"You say that every week," he mumbled.

Blair heard the comment, "Well what do you expect me to do? I can't just drop everything. I don't have everything figure out like you all do – Nate has The Spectator, you're a best-selling author, even Serena is back as an assistant for what's-her-face."

He spoke up, "I didn't meant that –"

"I'm building myself from the ground up, you know that," she continued, "I might not be where all of you are but I'm on my way. You said you would help me and I have tried my best to be appreciative of it. If you think I'm taking you away from your friends then just leave now and I'll handle all of this myself."

Dan stayed silent for a moment, realizing that his girlfriend was trying hard not to crumble under the pressure.

He picked up the papers and simply replied, "I'm not going anywhere."


The mini-blow up was dismissed, mainly because the couple avoided each other for the next couple of days. They spent their time talking and texting but their schedules did not give them any time see each other. They were both upset with the situation and knew that nothing could be done about it. It was a lonely week that just seemed to drag on.

Dan walked to up his Brooklyn loft, ready to go to sleep and worry about everything tomorrow when he noticed the lights were on. He cautiously stepped into his apartment and looked around. Everything seemed to look normal except for the smell of pizza coming from the kitchen.

"Gourmet," Blair smiled, "Of course."

"Of course," he smiled back. He greeted her with a kiss, "What are you doing here?"

"Spending an evening with my boyfriend," she answered with an obvious tone before mentioning, "I'm also here to apologize. I shouldn't have gotten mad at you. I guess I'm still trying to find that balance of business and fun."

"I'm sorry too," Dan held her tighter, "I know you're busy and I should have put that into consideration."

"You always put me at the top of your list and I need to start doing that to you," her smile widened, "I cleared my schedule this weekend."

"You did?" he asked in surprise.

Blair nodded, "Tonight, we are going to stay in and watch Breakfast at Tiffany's followed by Rear Window. Tomorrow, we are going out with Nate and Serena. Then on Sunday, the day is ours."

"Mmm, I like that plan," her leaned in closer.

"I thought you would," she whispered as their lips met.

Dan secured his arms around her waist as Blair snuggled in closer. They remained in their spot as the melody of Moon River played in the background. He pulled away first so he could give her a quick spin that followed the music. She laughed at his action before placing her hands on his chest.

"Dan?" she murmured.

"Hm?" he looked at her.

"Happy Anniversary," she sheepishly replied, "I know it's not ideal but I also brought some macarons and I made reservations for lunch at –"

His laughter cut her off, "As long as I'm with you, it's all that matters. This is a big gesture as it is – you bought the pizza and macarons, you snuck into my apartment and set up the DVDs."

"I am pretty great, aren't I?" Blair said smugly.

"The best," Dan responded, "Happy Anniversary."
