My first Dair fic in english. Sorry for the mistakes.
The first time
Part 1
The first time Rufus saw Dan and Blair, being DanandBlair was the same day of CeCe's wake.
Charlie, or Ivy, had decided that the best way to pay for the abuse she received was throw them out of home. That's how Rufus and Lilly, were found walking through the door of the loft in Brooklyn around midnight.
"I'm exhausted, love" Lilly said with a sad smile. Rufus stroked her arm and leaving the bags near the front door, looked around for Dan. The lights were all lit, but there was no trace of the boy. Perhaps if he had paid more attention he would have noticed the expensive coat draped over the armchair.
"Come Lilly, we will settle into my old room."
"Where is Daniel?"
"That I don't know",said Rufus noticing the door of his son's room half open. "Come, let's sit back and I'll go looking for him."
Lilly stayed in the bathroom, fixing her reflection, while Rufus went out to find Dan. When he reached his door, noticed that there was only a small night light, turning, thinking Dan wasn't home he began to walk towards his room, but a slight noise brought him back.
He opened the door slowly and stood frozen in place. Dan was peacefully sleeping in his bed, with a dreamy smile, while curled up beside him and with one hand on her waist was none other than Blair Waldorf.
Rufus wanted to wake them, wanted to ask so many questions, try to reason with his son that what he was doing was not right, Blair was a married woman. But he couldn't. And it wasn't only for the happy smile on Dan's face, was also for the peace on Blair's, by the way she had amalgamated to the boy's body, by the way they seemed to be completely happy.
And if something had to finish convince Rufus that this conversation could wait until morning, it was a sound, almost like a moan, that escaped Blair's lips. "Dan". And Rufus, almost ran out from the room.
Part 2
The first time Lilly saw Dan and Blair, being DanandBlairwas the day after her mother's wake.
She woke up early, fixed her reflection on the mirrow carefully and left the room smelling the delicious food, Rufus surely had prepared. Waffles. Her favorites.
Rufus smiled from the kitchen, as she walked towards him, gave him a soft kiss on the lips and prepared herself to start reading the newspaper.
"Good morning, love."
"Good morning" whisper as he gave her another sweet kiss. She was about to ask if he knew something about Daniel, when a popping sound was heard coming from the boy's room, followed by a strong woman's laugh, which she didn't recognize, but managed to get her to smile.
She turned to look at her husband, but he just raised his shoulders.
At that moment a sleepy Dan, appeared from behind a door, smiling to himself and rubbing his head. He stopped short when he saw them, opened his mouth to say something but was again the female voice which interrupted them.
"Dan, have you seen my shoes?"
Lilly had to look over her glasses to recognize the small figure appeared behind Dan, and like him, stopped short at the sight. If Lilly had not spoken with Chuck last night she might have been a little more surprised.
"Dad, what are you doing here?" Dan asked, visibly uncomfortable, without leaving his spot next to the girl. Blair at his side moved uneasily from one foot to another.
"Long story," replied Rufus "There're waffles for everyone," said inviting them to eat. Lilly turned to face him, it seemed that he wasn't remotely surprised by the encounter.
But that was not what surprised Lilly the most, but the silent exchange between Dan and Blair. Dan looked at her, Blair smiled, he took her by the hand clasping their fingers, she gave him a soft kiss on the cheek.
"A waffle will not hurt, right?" Blair asked, without separating her eyes from Dan.
And that's when Lilly noticed it. Not only Blair and Chuck were no longer together, but perhaps they will never be again. It was then that she realized, perhaps she had it all wrong, Dan and Serena were not the new Rufus and Lilly. Seeing Blair sit comfortably next to Dan, the boy smiling as he served her her first waffle a laHumphrey, Lilly noticed that she had found the true successors of the romantic story between the UES and Brooklyn.
"Shocking, isn't it?" she heard Rufus say.
"Not so much"
Years later, sitting in church watching Dan and Blair get married, Lilly realized that she was not mistaken.
Part 3
The first time Nate saw Dan and Blair, being DanandBlairwas on Lola's birthday.
He had managed to convince Dan to accompany him buy a present for his new girlfriend. Knowing Lola liked things with meaning and not just an expensive gift, he chose the only person who knew was able to help him in this task.
"Where are we going?" he asked not knowing where they were.
"To find Blair"
Nate groaned under his breath, but Dan just looked at him annoyed. Since Dan and Blair were together, it seemed impossible to see his friend and at least have some time alone.
"Does she really have to come with us?" he wonder, while Dan smiled to a far point in front. Nate didn't need to turn around to see who he was watching. "You know she's going to complain all the way, right?"
"Shut up" he said as they finished crossing the street and stopped behind Blair.
"Humphrey" Blair laughed when with two strides the boy ran toward her, embracing her and getting her up a little bit in the air. Blair put both arms around Dan's neck and gave him a smacking kiss.
"Ugh," he said loudly from behind , but Blair just looked at him sideways and turned to kiss her boyfriend again "Is this going to be like this all the time? Because I can call Serena and ask her help …"
"For me that's fine," Blair answered quickly, as she stopped in front of Dan and began playing with his shirt's collar, "I'm left behind with Humphrey, and we can occupy our time on more interesting activities" she smiled a wicked smile, which made Nate completely regretted having asked for Dan's help.
At that time, a pretty brunette came over to them.
"Are you Dan Humphrey?"
Dan and Blair turned to see the girl. Dan smiled, nodding his head while Blair looked at the girl up and down with disapproval.
"Would you sign me an autograph?," said excited, as she pulled down her long purse getting out a copy of Inside. "I loved your book," she said with a too high giggle.
Nate saw how the look of disapproval on Blair, became one of suspicion.
"The photo on the cover doesn't flatter you, you are much more handsome in person"
And as if that was not enough to make Nate laugh out loud, Blair stood before the girl, preventing her to give Dan her pen to sign the book.
"Listen terrible personification of a groupie" Blair started "Dan is not interested in your poor attempt of praise, doesn't need anyone to tell him how cute the picture is, much less a pathetic copy of Brooklyn girl next door, come over and try to get something with him "
Nate laughed even louder. The girl looked between Dan and Blair opened her mouth but said nothing. Dan shook his head, squeezing his eyes closed.
"Dan, here, has a girlfriend" continued pointing to the boy "a very powerful girlfriend, she can find wherever you live and with just the snap of her fingers can make sure you take the next flight away from NY never to return, if you ever look at her boyfriend like that, understood? "
The girl nodded, took the book from Dan's hands and walked away without looking back. Nate could not stop laughing while Dan looked at him angry.
"OK, let's get a gift for your girlfriend Archibald"
"Blair," said Dan exasperated "What was that?"
"Just watching over you, Humphrey" replied the girl taking his hand and dragging him to the crowd.
Nate always thought that one of the sweetest peculiarities Blair had was jealousy, and if for a moment he wondered if the new relationship between Dan and Blair would be temporary, it only took for him see his first girlfriend make a scene in the middle of the street, to realize that if something Dan and Blair weren't it was temporary.
Part 4
The first time Dorota saw Dan and Blair, being DanandBlairshe really shouldn' t have seen anything.
She was cleaning Serena's room, when listening to the sound of Blair's heels, she direct herself to the girl's room, but a man's voice stopped her. Daniel Humphrey.
Dorota knew they were together, even Blair confirmed it. But until now, she hadn't seen them interact as a couple. Sure as friends their dynamics was too funny to remain impartial and not end up worshiping them, but as a couple, it seemed hard to know what decision to make. This was the moment when Dorota decided whether Mr Dandeserved to be with Miss Blair.
"I will not go, Humphrey"
"For the love of God, Blair. You got the invitation, get a conceited dress and go "
"I'm surprised you got a job at a fashion magazine when your dresses description is simply conceited"
"Blair, put a dress and go"
"And what are yougoing to wear? I can't go to a party with the best designer dress,while you have that terrible shirt "
Dorota heard a groan from Dan, a few steps away and then a little cry from Blair.
"Do not touch my clothes with your dirty hands!, Coming from Brooklyn, who knows what third world junk touched your hands?"
Dorota looked out the bathroom door. Blair was standing next to her bed staring in horror as Dan, from within her closet was making strange noises.
"Put a dress for God sake"
"I told you I will not go," she said folding her arms like a stubborn child. "I'm not interested in having the invitation. I got it out of pity, Humphrey. And Blair Waldorf gets nothing out of pity "
"It wasn't that bad," said Dan out of the closet "You got the invitation because you are Blair Waldorf, you're the queen of UES"
"Rather, I wasthe queen of UES" she complained sitting on her bed. Dan sat down beside her and took her hand in his.
"Blair, you don't need an invitation to go to an event, everyone knows who you are, everyone wants you in their party. There isn't more elegant woman with more class than you in the entire Manhatan area. So what if Penelope sabotage your invitation, you still got it"
"But I'm not the queen. I was going to be a princess, but that didn't work out either "
Dan released her hands and looked for the front.
"Sorry, Dan. I didn't mean it like that . I don't regret not being a princess, it's jut sometimes I miss feeling special "
"Blair, you don't need a crown to be special. Everything about you is special. "
"Oh Humphrey" Blair said with much tenderness, moving from her place and sat on his lap "Sometimes I wonder where you been all my life"
"In Brooklyn" he answered with a smile "touching third world's things" Blair chuckled.
"Now put that pink dress I saw you have around here somewhere, and let's go "
"Humphrey, it is not a pink dress and I said I'm not going" Dan lifted her legs seating her back on the bed, and turned to the closet one more time. "Dan, that's an Oscar de La Renta! Do not wrinkle it! "
"Blair," said the boy menacing tone, while Blair climbed up to her bed with a half smile.
"Get the damn dress. Or I'll put it on you "
"You wouldn't dare"
Dan grinned and swooped upon her, while Blair laughed out loud in a way that Dorota never heard her laughing. When the laughter died away and became a soft moans, Dorota looked out the door to see them completely lost in their kisses.
"Hurry Humphrey, we have twenty minutes"
"You know that if I take out this shirt, it'll take over twenty minutes"
Dorota smiled, but her face soon became a panic one when she saw Blair raised her arms above her head, inviting Dan to remove her shirt. The look Dan gave to the girl made her blush, and turning around, in too quick steps she ran down the stairs.
She finished cleaning the bathroom an hour later, she didn't knew how many minutes it took Mr Dan to change Ms. Blair.
