The Roof; Saturday Afternoon

[rocksthescarf]

There were several ways to indicate fall was upon you. Changing leaves, of course, would be the obvious one. You could look at a calendar, which was just a boring way to do it. Or you could check to see if Chuck Bass was wearing his trademark scarf. Which he was. It truly was the greatest time of the year

It had been a while since Kate's last visit to the roof, so she decided to wander up there before heading to town.

"Is the TV giving you such a hard time you've had to go old school with your entertainment?" she asked teasingly, glancing at Chuck's book.

"Well it's Saturday," Chuck said, looking up from his book. "Everyone knows there's nothing good on TV on Saturdays."

Save for college football but Chuck was definitely not interested in that.

"Can't really argue with that," Kate noted, rummaging around her bag for a cigarette. "Hasn't usually stopped me watching, though."

[rocksthescarf]

"I decided to take a break from that torture and find other ways of entertainment instead," he said. "But I'm sure I'll be back in front of the TV, watching Tyra and Oprah before you know it."

[vanillajello]

"Good," she smirked with a nod of approval. "So I don't have to worry about you not getting a healthy fix of brainrot."

[rocksthescarf]

"Oh you don't ever have to worry about me," Chuck said, lifting up his joint. "I have many, many ways to destroy brain cells."

[vanillajello]

"You're a pretty resourceful man. That's always good to know," Kate replied. "So, what are you reading?"

[rocksthescarf]

"Les Liaisons dangereuses, better known as Dangerous Liaisons in English," Chuck said. "Or, if you just watch movies, meta for Cruel Intentions."

[vanillajello]

"I think my brother's read that," she said after a short pause. "And I know I've seen the movie. And a few other versions as well. You're fluent enough in French to read that?"

[rocksthescarf]

"I'm fluent in several languages," Chuck said. "One of the perks of private school and a jet setter's lifestyle."

[vanillajello]

"Is there anything other than perks to a life like that?"

[rocksthescarf]

"Hey, there's a downside or two. I'm the one that has to change my wardrobe every season in order to stay fashionable," Chuck joked.

[vanillajello]

"What a hard life you lead, Mr. Bass," she replied with an amused smile, raising an eyebrow. "It's so much easier for us who are firmly outside fashion."

And firmly in the latest teen culture fad. Whatever.

[rocksthescarf]

"I wish I didn't care about the way I look but no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to stop," Chuck said. "It's a curse."

[vanillajello]

"Could be worse," Kate replied, giving him an appreciative look and a liight grin. "At least it's one that others benefit from."

[rocksthescarf]

Chuck smirked at her. "So you've been checking me out then?"
