The Seven Stages of Love and Butterflies
Part 1 – Shock
--
Chuck Bass stood at Blair Waldorf's bedroom doorway awkwardly, looking at the gorgeous girl with her porcelain skin staring at him with her deep brown eyes.
She had said forgiveness was a long process. She said he only caused misery. And it all came down to this.
She was clearly waiting for something.
It was the middle of fall. Chuck snorted at the thought. It had taken this long.
She just stood up and caressed his cheek softly, giving him a slight smile under the hard exterior. She was still waiting, but she knew it would come eventually. She didn't need to ask for the words.
And then he just cleared his throat and said it.
"I love you, Blair."
He felt like going into cardiac arrest. First, he only ever addressed her as Waldorf to her face…And…Wait. Did he just say he loved her?
And she just finally let loose and laughed the tiniest of laughs.
"I love you too." She was still caressing his cheek. His stomach fluttered furiously. He held back a groan.
And then it seemed like forever until Blair finally gave in. Their noses touched first, and for a few moments, everything stopped moving.
She finally breathed in and softly touched his lips. It was something that he had craved for months; it was something that he would never forget.
They broke apart. She laughed again.
"I really needed that."
And then he kissed her with the full force and passion that they had been branded with. His heartbeat had quickened about three times its normal rate.
He might have been going into cardiac arrest, but he didn't give a damn.
He got the one person he wanted.
She was the one person he had publicly displayed his genuine affections for.
She was the one person that he had sex with more than once.
She was the one person that made him feel those damn butterflies.
She was the one person that he had professed his love to.
She was the one person he could call home.

Author's Note: This is going to be my first set of ficlets on Blair and Chuck, of course. They follow the dates of Season 2, so we're talking before Thanksgiving right now.
The next part, Guilt, will take place during…Thanksgiving!
So let me know if you'll actually read the rest. I'm dying for reviews. Thanks, Cass
