Chapters: 2/4 Fandom: Gossip Girl (TV 2007) Relationships: Dan Humphrey/Blair Waldorf Characters: Dan Humphrey, Blair Waldorf, Nate Archibald, Serena van der Woodsen, Jenny Humphrey Notes: In this chapter we have Nate being a good buddy, emotionally fraught conversations, and two dumbs who are definitely dating again but then there’s some slight regression. It happens!
Also. Yes. It HAS been 9-months since I updated. What about it?
Summary:
There are times when he wonders if it would be so awful to let himself love her again. Like when she asks him to meet for coffee, and their hands brush as they walk through Riverside Park, and his skin itches with need to tuck the strand of hair behind her ear. Or, when they walk the galleries at MoMA, and it takes everything in him to not press his lips to hers when she lets out a soft little oh of delight when something captures her. Or, when together with Nate and Serena they somehow end up at Veselka at 1:00 A.M., overstuff themselves with pierogies, and get drunk on cheap white wine, and he wonders if the skin of her wrist is as soft as he remembers.
So the emotional distance thing is a work in progress.
