Chuck & Blair: “Just Because We can’t Be Friends Doesn’t Mean We Aren’t.”

So, after a short break we had a new episode this week – and with it a little bit of Chuck and Blair. This week our dynamic duo teamed up in Serena’s time of crisis to be there for her, all the while trying to figure out how to orbit each other with out being a couple. Chuck was trying to keep his distance while fighting the urge to want to be there for Blair to lean on and Blair thought they could just be friends and go on as before without the “benefits”. On the way home from the hospital, Chuck tells Blair that he can’t be friends with her and it’s obvious by looking at him that the reason is it is just too painful for him to be around her right now and not be with her. Then, Blair kisses him on the cheek and says goodnight. Of course, Blair being Blair can’t leave things like that and sends him some pie with a note that says, “Just because we can’t be friends doesn’t mean we aren’t.” The smile on Chuck’s face has he read the note broke my heart. They’ll always be there for each other even if they’re no together.

The way these two are when they’re together really makes me wonder how long this being apart thing will last for them. I mean with only a few scenes they made it pretty clear they still both want to be together they just have to figure out how to be apart first. Well, at least with these two I feel pretty confident they will end up together it’s just a matter of when and how. I wish I was as confident with most of the other couples I root for!
