Previously...

"Don't go" she stated simply. Dan turned around and looked into Blair's dark brown eyes, in that moment they were so full of fear and fragility. He thought for a moment - should he leave, and forget Blair and there messed up kinda friendship kinda more or whatever it was they had. Or should he stay and see what happens when they stop fighting it?

Dan and Blair continued to look in to each others eyes, and in that moment it was as if they were looking straight into each other's souls. I mean they don't say 'you can see it all in the eyes' for nothing, because it was true. If you let the emotion shine through your eyes then there no turning back. So here it was, everything was laid out on the table and Dan had a choice to make. Did he really want to go through this again? Chasing after a girl who clearly doesn't harbour any feelings for him or is denying her feelings for him? No. He didn't , so he should just leave, that would be the best decision ; that's what he told himself anyway…or would it? He was so conflicted, Dan broke the eye contact with Bair and took a small step backwards, his eyes were fixed on the floor so he could think this over, I mean he couldn't very well make an appropriate decision with Blair looking at him like that. Then he thought, why was Blair looking at him in that way? If what she said was true and she doesn't have feelings for him, and didn't feel anything, then why was she asking him to stay? Dan raised his eyes from the ground to their former place opposite Blair's. The anticipation was almost burning through her eyes. By now both of them hadn't spoken for a few minutes, thoughts racing through both their minds.

Blair decided to brake the silence as she whispered, "Please, Humphrey…just stay." She gave him a small smile and a pleading look. "I mean, who else is going to watch the Audrey Hepburn film with me that I've got upstairs right now?" Blair arched her eyebrows up and gave the classic Blair Waldorf convincing smile. She was trying to diffuse the situation, it was getting way too intense, and too close to the heart for her. Yes she wanted him to stay - for reasons unknown to her at this moment - but she wasn't ready to get personal with him …yet. So she decided they would do, well what they do - their thing. Blair looked at Dan hopefully, and she saw him slowly breaking down his barrier. His once intense facial expression was softening and a smile was threatening to form on his face. She continued to stare him down until he cracked. A huge grim spread across his face, and he rolled his eyes playfully.

"You have a manipulative gift Waldorf." Dan said as he walked to the other side of Blair and started to walk side by side with her up the stairs to her room. Blair triumphantly smiled. Yes she, Blair Waldorf had successfully convinced Dan Humphrey to stay.

So that was it, she had persuaded him to stay. Unbeknown to Blair, Dan knew what she was doing. He knew she was afraid, because well - he was too. This feeling; even though it had been inevitably coming for a long time, it was still new, they were in unknown territory with each other and that quite frankly scared them. So yes, Dan knew Blair was trying to make light of the situation by suggesting they watched a movie, because watching a movie meant they were only still friends. He knew Blair - actually it surprised him at just how much he really knew her. So he understood that she wasn't ready to admit her feelings. She had been hurt in the past - too many times for Dan's liking actually, and so that's why he decided to stay. In knowing Blair, he knew the feelings were there, he just had to wait a while for her to realise, and when she did, he would be there. Besides, waiting would be better he thought, because he was still unsure of the extent of his own feelings for Blair, so waiting would let him work out his feelings too.

Dan stood awkwardly in Blair's room as she set up the movie. Dan's eyes followed her as she rushed about her room fixing everything. "Right, the movie is all set" she clasped her hands together and let out and long breath, "I'm ready for your timeless classic Audrey!" Blair excitedly said as she plopped onto her bed. Dan still stood at the door, his eyes fluttering from the television to Blair. After a moment Blair turned from the TV and looked at Dan with a confused expression on her face. "Umm Humphrey. What are you doing?" she asked with a small laugh.

Dan scratched his head and cleared his throat, "Umm me? uh yeah…I'm just watching the movie" He said as he looked away from Blair and tried to focus on the film.

Blair let out a laugh, a proper one this time - one she hadn't laughed like in a long time actually. But being around Dan she couldn't help it, his presence and the way he carried himself was just so…funny and different. In a good way of course. So she couldn't help but laugh at his awkwardness. "Yeah, well do not loiter at my door. You can sit on the bed you know." She said grinning, she then added "I don't bite" with a mischievous grin.

Dan laughed and suddenly he felt more at ease. Yes, he was in Blair Waldorf's room, yes he was going to be on Blair Waldorf's bed and he had felt rather uncomfortable with that under the given situation, but seeing Blair laugh relaxed him and reminded him that they were just going to have fun. Nothing serious yet. Dan walked across to Blair's bed, "Hmm I'm not sure if I believe that information Waldorf, just in case I think I'll sit here." Dan positioned himself on the corner of the bed, far away from were Blair was sitting. He looked over at her, trying to maintain a serious look, but Blair's mischievous smirk made him crack. He let out a laugh and scooted closer to Blair. Damn he thought, was this how their whole relationship was going to be? One look from Blair and he caved regardless of the situation. He just couldn't say no to her. He then laughed at himself as he realised he had said 'their relationship' Yeah he was getting a bit carried away with himself on that one.

"What's so funny Humphrey?" Blair asked, as she saw Dan laughing to himself.

"Nothing Blair, I was just thinking about something." he replied. He then looked at Blair and gave one of his classic Dan Humphrey, 'butter wouldn't melt' smiles. Blair smiled back; now usually she would probe him and get him to tell her what that something was, but this time she thought she should let it slip and enjoy the movie. So she did.

Four hours, and two movies later; Dan and Blair were in a not to unfamiliar situation. They had fell asleep again, but this time they were lying straight down on the bed. Blair's head was resting on Dan's chest and one of his arms were thrown around her side. His head resting upon hers. In the early hours of the morning, Blair began to stir in her sleep. She yawned and tried to stretch her arms out, but in trying to do this she realised something was blocking her - or rather someone. Blair's eyes shot open and landed on none other than Dan Humphrey. Oh no, they had not fell asleep again had they? She thought, the answer obvious but still. Blair began to panic at the closeness of their bodies, I mean she was basically on him and he, well, he had his arm wrapped tightly around her. There was no way she could move unless Dan woke up. Blair was going to wake him up right there, when she suddenly stopped. Her eyes wondered to Dan's face. She studied his features, and found herself having to contain a giggle that was forming at the site of him. His hair was awry, bits sticking up everywhere, and his face, well, Blair had to admit he had the cutest facial expression right now. He had to have been dreaming about something good she thought, or someone …she hoped. Yes, Blair Waldorf had to admit that Daniel Humphrey looked nothing less than adorable. So before she talked herself back out of it, Blair lowered her head back down onto Dan's chest and closed her eyes. She felt the warmth of his breath on her and started to drift slowly back to sleep to the melody of his beating heart. Maybe, just maybe this is what perfection felt like.

Well, that is the second chapter guys! I hope you likes this one! I obviously decided that Dan would stay, some of you who reviewed though he should as well. So he hasn't got Blair to 'fess up' her feelings yet lol but I think that Dan would give Blair time as he is a very patient person. I know the last bit for Blair may have been a bit out of character, but I'm a sucker for sweet moments like that so I couldn't help myself! Plus who knows, she clearly has feelings for Dan so that's her just giving into them a little ;) Haha. Anyways I'll stop rambling. But please review, It really makes me happy when I get one, and it also let's me know if I'm doing good or what I should improve on. I will try get the next chapter up soon, but it may take a while longer cause the next one is a long chapter, but it won't be too long before I post it. Anyways thanks for reading!
