Blair Waldorf x Humphrey!comic book nerd!designing intern for Eleanor!reader (WLW EXCLUSIVE! also heavy internalized homophobia themes,,no happy ending :<)
At first she actively hates you, sabotages your debut as a designer.
And then you get her back by stealing designs her mother made and stashing them in her closet to frame her and she's just like "Oh.. Game on."
The slow burn is REAL and she never admits that she likes you because of her perfect image and reputation as a Waldorf. Her mother would call it dirty.
Your first kiss? Right in front of The Empire, after a particularly gnarly breakup with Chuck.
Shes crying and absolutely heartbroken but then you put your hand on her shoulder and she's ON YOU like you're air and she needs to breathe
Youll never be her girlfriend, no, of course, itll always be Chuck on her arm at events.
But she still kisses you like you are.
Even on campus,, youre in the girls bathroom at the same time oh so coincidentally?? She's pulling you into a stall,, leaving you breathless and trying to wipe her lip gloss from your mouth when someone else comes into the bathroom and she flinches away like she's been burned.
But she thinks you've ruined her because she thinks loving the same gender is the same thing as throwing away the Waldorf name
The anxious internalized homophobia is REAL
Yall kiss in empty corners and she stops you when you touch her too much because she thinks if she gives you all of her that's all you'll want
Abandonment issues and BPD riddled spirals at 3am because "oh my God, I'm into girls."
She NEVER tells Eleanor about you. But she knows anyway.
She comes to you when her bulimia starts getting bad again even though she hates being codependent
Will literally kill you if you try to kiss her or even touch her arm in front of her mother
Of course, you get mad because you don't want to feel like a secret. But you still kiss her anyway, because it's better than being nothing.
Shes back with Chuck again because appearances mean everything but she's still at your place at 3am begging you to kiss the taste of him away from her mouth
Feral "am I a lesbian?" Yearning
People would say she's confused if they knew,, but she wouldn't be able to argue because she is confused. How she feels about you is nerve wracking.
You stuff love notes into her purse between classes and she kisses you in the teachers lounge because she definitely paid them all off to go out for lunch instead
If Gossip Girl catches wind of it? She's horrified. Absolutely mortified to the point she avoids you completely.
But there's no pictures. Only speculation. So once it blows over? She's done with Chuck, fully set on you.
She'll never be ready to go public, but you're okay with that, you still get to kiss her and wake up with her tangled in your sheets the next morning.
Sleepy gf kisses.
She calls you her s/o while thinking to herself out loud, making coffee or tea, probably muttering about something "unacceptable" you did, like leaving a mark on her shoulder.
Doesnt realize it until an hour later and goes "oh fuck. Im in too deep."
In true Blair fashion she ghosts you for a week, and she comes back crying in the rain at 4AM, you let her because of course you do.
Tender loving make out sesh in your bed with Casual by Chappell Roann playing in the background
She won't tell you, but she starts imagining herself with your last name, or you with hers.
Has THE baby dream once and cries in your bathroom because she'll never get her little baby boy Theo.
If y'all were seen at an event or something staring at eachother too long Serena would probably pull the "You do know it's legal now, right?" Card
Even if she leaves you a million times for Chuck, she always ends up coming back.
She buys you jewelry under the pretense of just wanting to buy you something but really? She's staking her claim. You don't see the "B.W." engraved into the inside of the bracelet or the necklace until she's already running off back to her penthouse.
You never make it official. But you both buy matching jewelry for each other.
She buys you merch from your favorite comics and writes her initials on the tag
She absolutely buys you comics to apologize when she leaves too long
