Declaration of Love

You know, for a supposed genius, Blair can be dense at times. Like when I tried to tell him I really was into guys, especially him. But he needed to be practically hit over the head before he even got the clue. I know Blair is a more eloquent talker than I am, but I always thought Blair listened to me. He's always accusing me of not listening to him and now he's doing the same thing to me.

It was after the party was over and we were cleaning up the mess made by our friends. I had been gathering up the courage all night to say something to him. I know if the roles were reversed, Blair would have mentioned something about this a long time ago. This also tends to give me pause, because now I'm worried that Blair doesn't feel the same way I do. I love my guide and I needed to tell him.

After we gather all the mess from the party, I ask Blair to sit down beside me on the couch. He does so, a look of curiosity in his eyes.

"I need to tell you something, Chief," I start out, deciding to take my time. "I was thinking we could become something more than sentinel and guide. Something more than just friends."

The frown on his face deepens and he's looking sexier than I've seen him all night. I'd like to jump his bones right now. But I think I'd scare him off if I did that.

"I was thinking maybe we could become lovers. I love you, Blair."

He sits there, just looking at me. I've actually done it: I've silenced Blair Sandburg. I reach out to touch his arm. He looks at me.

"Are you okay, Chief?"

"You… love… me?" The words are said slowly.

"Is that such a foreign concept to you?"

"Um… no. But I've never had -"

I know what he's going to say. He's never had a male lover before.

"Have you… ever? With a guy?"

"In the army, there was a guy in basic training. We had a thing for a couple of months. I've never LOVED a man before you. Are you okay with this?" I can hear his heartbeat pounding.

"yeah." The word is said softly and he looks down at the floor.

I reach out and gently lift his chin so he's looking at me again. "We'll take it slow, okay?"

"It's been my dream…" The smile starts to come across his face and I know we will be okay.
