Summary: Serena goes to see Blair after the incident with
---
“You really are a dirty slut, aren’t you?”
Serena winced at the vitriol in Blair’s voice and cut her eyes to the side, away from the brunette’s withering gaze. She had expected something like that – she had actually been prepared for much worse – but it still hurt to hear it.
“B,” Serena said softly, her voice pleading, begging for forgiveness she wasn’t entirely convinced she deserved.
“She’s vile, S,” Blair said looking away from the blonde, the very sight of Serena threatening her ability to keep down her food. Every time she looked at the blonde, she flashed back to what she had witnessed in washroom. Every time she looked at Serena she saw
“I know,” Serena breathed out softly, her voice a pained hiss. Shame was pounding down on her like a spring rain shower. She felt like finding a hole in some dark place, curling into a ball and never moving.
“She was …” Blair began only to find herself pause almost as soon as she began speaking. She couldn’t say it. She just couldn’t. It was too horrible to give voice to.
Serena was silent, not knowing what she could possibly say to justify or explain actions that she was humiliated and embarrassed by. She knew
The blonde brought a shaky hand to hair and ran her fingers through the thick blonde locks.
Getting smashed every other night, partying until dawn, being so drunk she could barely walk, and making out with whoever she wanted to because she was Serena van der Woodsen and she was young, and rich and beautiful had been fun. Not all of the time of course, there’d been her tongue down the throat of an investment banker old enough to be her mother’s next husband. There’d been vomit in her hair, and on her clothes, and once in her shoe. There’d been waking up in strange lofts, surrounded by people she didn’t know, feeling like the living dead. There’d been falling grades, and fights and bouts of overwhelming shame.
But, there had also been dancing in fountains at
Being a good girl made her friends happier, allowed her to have a somewhat stable – though sometimes boring relationship – and made her mother something that resembled content. But there was a part of her that sometimes missed being a bad girl and the things that came along with it. There was a part of her that longed for the freedom she felt as
Blair watched the expression playing over Serena’s features quietly, a thousand nasty words and recriminations swirling around in her brain as she did. However, when she finally parted her lips what emerged from them was no more than a disillusioned whisper.
“Why her?”
Serena blinked rapidly and refused to meet Blair’s eyes.
Why her?
Serena supposed she could tell Blair that
All of it was true, it just wasn’t the whole truth, and the problem was that Blair knew her well enough that she’d be able to figure it out. And then there’d be more questions, questions that Serena would know the answer to, but couldn’t tell Blair.
She couldn’t tell Blair that what
“I don’t,” Serena rasped finally. Her eyes were focused on the floor once more though the tears stinging her eyes made it no more than an indistinct blur. “I don’t know.”
“You don’t even like her,” Blair said her voice accusing, exasperated, confused and aghast as she glared daggers at the blonde.
Serena didn’t refute the statement, she couldn’t.
"God, Serena," Blair breathed out, stumbling back. "What the fuck is wrong with you?" she hissed, seating herself unsteadily on the nearby stairs.
"I mean I know it's dernier cri to get in touch with your inner 'mo, but Georgina? Georgina?" she continued scrunching up her face in a way that Serena would have found completely precious under any other circumstances. "There had to be better choices ...much better choices. Actually, there could only have been better choices."
“You’d think so,” Serena murmured looking over at the space next to Blair on the steps longingly. She wanted to be closer to the brunette, but as Blair called her admittedly poor decision making skills into question she couldn’t force herself to move over beside her.
Blair scoffed.
“You’re trying to tell me that in all of
“On the
“You’re so full of shit,” Blair grumbled holding Serena’s gaze for a moment before shaking her head.
“Oh yeah?” Serena asked playfully, finally moving over to the stairs to sit next to Blair. “Name someone,” she continued leaning against the banister.
Blair looked over at her for a long moment, her gaze intense before she forced herself to relax. “I haven’t exactly taken a poll,” the brunette said lightly, a strained smile touching her lips.
“Yeah, well neither had I,” Serena said, tentative once more, not fully understanding Blair’s tension. Moments before the mood between them had lightened, and Serena thought that maybe, possibly she might have been in the clear. But something was still bothering Blair and now that the talk about her fucked up sex life was over she had no idea what could be bothering the brunette.
Blair shifted uncomfortably on the steps.
“You could have just,” Blair said still staring in front of her. “I mean, the obvious choice would have been,” she went on fighting with herself for a moment before finally turning to look at Serena again. “What was wrong with me?”
Serena stared at Blair blankly, her mind refusing to believe that Blair was asking her what she thought she was asking her.
“I’m a girl,” Blair said seriously, her tone so earnest that Serena couldn’t help but smile.
“I know that, B,” Serena said softly.
“We’ve kissed before,” Blair added when Serena didn’t add anything else.
“I know that too,” Serena responded quietly, her eyes drifting away from Blair’s as she spoke.
“Did you even think about hitting on me?” Blair asked not quite able to keep the note of hurt she was feeling out of her voice.
“Blair,” Serena whispered roughly her eyes involuntarily tracking back over to Blair.
“I’m your bestie.”
“Yeah, you are,” Serena said, her hand twitching by her side for a moment before she reached out and grasped Blair’s hand, holding it tightly between her own. “That’s why I couldn’t … why I didn’t …” Serena continued breaking off as she began to blink in an attempt to hold back the tears forming in her eyes. “I need you, B. I need you so much. I love you,” she went on, her hands unconsciously squeezing Blair’s. “I couldn’t … I mean what if you had … I couldn’t bear the thought of you hating me.”
Blair reached out and pressed her hand against Serena’s cheek. “I don’t hate you,” she said softly as Serena reached up and covered her hand with one of her own. “You know I’ve never even been able to stay mad at you for long,” the brunette continued smiling softly, knowing that Serena was one of the few weaknesses she would admit to having. “I love you too. Beautiful mess that you are,” she finished fondly, stroking Serena’s face lightly.
Serena breathed in deeply, her body shuddering slightly as a few drops of liquid finally escaped her eyes.
“B,” she managed to choke out, her tear filled eyes focused on the brunette, begging for her to do something to make it better.
Blair leaned forward, and the moment that she did, Serena shifted forward and wrapped her arms around the smaller girl, burying her face in Blair’s neck as she cried, secure in the knowledge that Blair had her, and always would.
Minutes later Serena pulled back from Blair sniffling and trying to summon up a brave face.
“Thanks,” the blonde murmured softly. “I needed …”
Serena was silenced by the press of Blair’s lips against her own. A small sound of surprise escaped from her, but once she registered what was happening, her body relaxed and she parted her lips, giving herself over to Blair, allowing the brunette to take the lead.
Blair placed her hand on Serena’s thigh, and leaned into the blonde, kissing her more intently; Serena’s acquiescence inflaming her passion.
Seeing Serena and
Horrified and surprised as she had been when her eyes had dropped below Serena’s waist and she had seen
As she made her way home, staring broodingly out of the window of the taxi she struggled to understand why she was reacting so strongly to what she had seen. Although she had never seen anything like that before, she had seen Serena in compromising positions before but had never reacted like that. And when she acknowledged the extremity of her response she was able to figure out the nature of it: jealousy.
As she made her way out of the cab and up to the penthouse, all she could think was that it should have been her with Serena, not
She wanted it to be her.
Blair kissed Serena hotly in a hormonal daze. Feeling she had barely been aware of hours before crashing over her, taking possession of her. Now that she was pressed against Serena, was touching Serena, was kissing her, she couldn’t fathom stopping. She couldn’t believe that it had taken her this long to realize that she wanted this.
Blair’s hand moved further up Serena’s thigh, pushing up the short material of the blonde’s dress as she did until finally her fingers dipped between Serena’s legs and pressed against the warm material of her panties.
Serena’s fingers wrapped around Blair’s wrist and tugged, drawing the brunette’s hand back. She placed Blair’s hand on her leg and then used her own to cover it, keeping it in place.
Blair looked up at her questioningly, blinking as if she were coming out of a deep sleep. A sound of deep unhappiness emerged from her throat and she tried to tug her hand from beneath Serena’s so that she could return it to the warm nook that it had been yanked away from.
“No,” Serena breathed out pressing down on Blair’s hand firmly. “Not like this. Not with you,” she continued softly, looking at Blair beseechingly, needing her to understand.
Blair was different than
Blair blinked again, and then licked her lips, inclining her head minutely as she did.
“Sorry,” she murmured a moment later as her mind cleared, her other hand moving to rest on top of the one Serena was holding down against her leg. “I didn’t mean to molest you.”
Serena smiled at that, before her eyes dropped to watch Blair’s thumb as it ran over the back of her hand.
“Don’t be sorry,” Serena said softly looking back over at Blair. “I’ve …” she continued a faint blush touching her cheeks. “I’ve actually wanted you to molest me for a while,” she went on, blushing harder and averting her eyes when Blair smiled at her. “Well, not ‘molest’ really, but …”
“I know what you mean,” Blair said softly, letting Serena off the hook gently.
“It’s just,” Serena said her tone and eyes serious as she focused on Blair once more. “I know I’m kind of a slut, but it’s you and me, you know. It’s us. And I don’t … I don’t want you fuck me on your staircase. I want to,” she continued her voice lowering, “with you I want it to be … more, to mean more. I want it to be romantic, I guess.”
Blair watched Serena silently, her eyes shimmering wetly before she bent towards the blonde and rested her forehead against Serena’s. She placed her free hand on top of the blonde’s, holding the blonde’s hand warmly between her own.
“S,” she said softly, overwhelmed with emotion. “Baby…” she murmured unable to express the feelings swelling within her in words.
Serena looked over at Blair, watching her intently for a long moment before she took a deep breath. “I know I said that I wanted you to … that,” she continued before pausing again. “You don’t have to do this,” she whispered a moment later, her brain and heart still having trouble believing that what was happening was really happening and not just a figment of her imagination.
“I know,” Blair said quietly, a small smile touching her lips a second later. “I’m Blair Waldorf. I don’t do anything I don’t want to,” she said stroking the back of Serena’s hand with her thumb. “Really S, you know me,” Blair went on, “I’m not that accommodating,” she said smiling tenderly.
Serena smiled at that, and then laughed with amusement and relief, blinking back tears that had suddenly formed in her eyes as she did.
“Sorry, that was … stupid,” Serena mumbled looking away from Blair, her lips curving up in a self-conscious smile.
“Not really,” Blair said, releasing Serena’s hand so that she could stroke her cheek. “You know I would do anything for you.”
“But you won’t do that?” Serena questioned singing the line as she smiled.
“Oh I will,” Blair promised, enjoying the faint flush that came to Serena’s cheeks. “But not out of politeness.”
Serena smiled at that, and she and Blair stared at each silently for a few seconds before the blonde dropped her gaze down to their hands which were still entwined with each other.
“So …” Serena began, trailing off as she looked up at Blair.
“Yeah,” Blair drawled drawing the word out as she looked around her for a second.
When her eyes met Serena’s against however, she was smiling and it made Serena smile which eased some of the tension that had formed between them.
“Come on,” Blair said softly, rising to her feet as she spoke, careful to keep Serena’s hands in her own as she did.
“Where are we going?” Serena asked standing, allowing herself to be dragged along by Blair perfectly willing to follow the brunette wherever she would lead her. It was Blair after all, there was nothing to fear.
“My room,” Blair said looking over her shoulder at Serena as she ascended the staircase, her hand squeezing Serena’s lightly as she spoke.
“Why?” Serena asked knowingly, a small smile touching her lips as Blair paused midway up the stairs and stared down at her.
Blair smiled, “It’s more romantic up there.”
The End

And I have to give you credit for suggesting this, because I was thinking of just leaving it at Beautiful Mess, but you started of movement that guilted me into another one ... and I'm glad for it. Writing Waldsen sexin' is always fun ;)

LOL! I was totally thinking of that line when I wrote it. You know Blair is the only character besides Chuck who could say that and make it cute and sexy as hell. Seriously, Ed's delivery of that line made me want to be Chuck Bass (oh wait, sexin' Blair is a limo made me want to be Chuck Bass, lol)

Her dad leaves with Roman, her mom picks Serena over her and now Serena would rather go screw Georgina. Oh Blair-bear, you secretly vulnerable poor thing. Just come over, I'll love you unconditionally. lol

I would love for this to happen. But what I love about Leighton is that she's made Blair so vivid and three dimensional, that I can totally picture her delivering it in my head to the point where I'm kind of convinced she HAS said it, lol
Oh, Leighton, how u so awesome gurl?

Date: 2008-05-12 05:50 am (UTC)I have a distinct dislike for S/G, but you made it worthwhile here. And I'd love to see a scene of Blair's reaction to the presumed sex tape with Georgie. In a perfect world the jealousy would be readily apparent on her face. Heh, maybe we can hope for Leighton to bleed through? lol

Date: 2008-05-14 10:39 pm (UTC)I'd like to thank Gossip Girl for actually having them call each other that on the show, because it gave me audios, and the audios are the sexy. Seriously, sometimes "baby's" can bug, but when these two say it to each other it is the height of romance.
I have a distinct dislike for S/G, but you made it worthwhile here.
LOL! I know I should too, but Georgina's psycho-osity is just so attractive. Still, van der Sparks is in no way a threat to Waldsen's love. Georgina doesn't have nearly that much power.
In a perfect world the jealousy would be readily apparent on her face. Heh, maybe we can hope for Leighton to bleed through? lol
lol, you know that Leighton would be pissed that Michelle got to make out with her girlfriend on screen, when she hasn't gotten the chance (and when she knows that Waldsen are meant to be anyway). The perfect mix of reality and fiction!
P.S. Love the eye!sex icon. Leighton looks so smitten. She's deep in smit.

that was so cute, and funny, and i loved that blair was willing to say why not me
and that she totally molested serena hahahaha
also i loved the whole bit about 'in all of manhattan, Georgina Sparks was the only girl you could find willing to do you?' cause i'm sure there would be plenty willing, even if she wants to narrow it down to the upper east side, who would honestly pass up a chance with HER!

lol. Out-of-control-with-burning-lust-for-Serena!Blair is love. And really who can blame her for wanting to molest Serena? It's Serena! Plus, trashy looking Serena is just ... I mean, Blake's lucky she never looks trashy IRL or else people would molest her all the time.

Unbelievably hot. This is why we need to have a Blair/Georgina showdown on the show. Because Blair fighting for her woman will make my ovaries sing!
And I have to say that I suffered along with Blair, because being an anti Van der Sparks I have to read the other fic too, just for the sake of this one
LOL! Sorry. I know van der Sparks is wrong. It's just a dirty kind of wrong that I enjoy. But van der Sparks is no competition for Waldsen, and Georgina is NO Blair. Serena has realized her mistake however, and found a new drug! Blacstasy ;)
