Title: Pictures of you
Character: mini!Chuck
He traces her face slowly with his finger, as if he’s imprinting every detail into his memory. As if he didn’t see her so clearly every time he closes his eyes.
He wonders whether her eyes crinkled in the corners when she laughed, whether her lips felt as soft as they looked when they brushed your forehead, whether her voice was warm and gentle when she whispered goodnight. Tears blur his vision and he knows it’s time to tuck away the picture again.
Chuck Bass never cries. Especially not over someone he knows so little to care so much about.

Title: My foolish games
Character: Blair
Sometimes when Blair closes her eyes, she can pretend that everything is okay. That her father wasn’t leaving, that Nate wasn’t acting distant, that Serena hadn’t gone.
All these years she had worked so hard so that everything in her life looked perfect; from the shade of her headband, the grades in her report card, to the boy by her side. But now her world was falling apart and the walls she had built around herself aren’t strong enough to keep out the pain.
So she opens her eyes, bends over the toilet, and sticks her finger down her throat.

Title: Free your mind at night
Character: Serena
The music thumps in the room, pounds in her head, and she bounces along to it. She feels someone grating into her, a hand dangerously high on her thigh, but she’s had too many drinks tonight to care. Hell, it’s not like she has concerned parents back home to explain anything to when she rocks up at 3am every other night, with the smell of the same alcohol on her breath and of a different man on her skin.
Maybe she prefers it this way. Because this way, she can just close her eyes and let the night take over.

Title: You would say anything
Character: mini!Nate
“Nate, they’re gone!”
Nate sighs in frustration. “What’s gone, Blair?”
“The ducks, they’re all gone!”
He wrinkles his forehead in confusion. “Maybe they went to find some food?” He catches her expression then and tries to back peddle quickly. “But I’m sure they’ll like your bread crumbs better though.”
She stomps off and he sighs again, staring after her. Now she was going to be in a bad mood the whole afternoon and make him watch some old movie over and over again.
He shuts his eyes and makes a quick prayer hoping that the ducks would come back, soon.
