Blairnessa for the ship game?
who wakes up first in the morning: they actually wake up around the same time, usually not more than half an hour apart, but blair has learnt that if she wakes up before v and pretends to be asleep, v will fix her breakfast, & blair's always found eating to be more easy/more soothing when someone who loves her is the one cooking/bringing her food, so. vanessa is always the first one out of bed.
whoâs the first to fall asleep at night: vanessa, i think, but not by much. i just think vanessa is one of those people whose body clock is so solid that if they don't go to bed by the time they gotta, they will start falling asleep while doing whatever task it is they're doing. i feel like v would go to bed at 10:30 and b would go to bed at 11.
what they playfully tease each other over: "blair, you're dressed like a rich person demanding that someone rob their bank acocunt!" / "thank you, vanessa!" / nate, who's watching this exchange, bemused: "b, i don't think that was a compliment." OR "abrams for heaven's sake must you wear the entire spectrum of visible light and colour all at once? that outfit is garish and the only thing it is good for is taking off you" / vanessa, winking: "maybe that was the point" / (cut to dan in the background with his head in his hands) "could you not do the dirty talk thing in front of me, please?"
what they do when the otherâs having a bad day: they have a timer, and the person having a bad day vents about it and rages about it. they're trying to see who can beat the other's record time (right now it's blair with 3h47m, but vanessa's come close with 3h39m.) the venter loses when they smile, or laugh. once that's done they watch a movie together and share something to eat. and once that's done there's probably a lot of making out & getting lucky.
how they say âiâm sorryâ after arguments: blair hates expensive gifts or gestures after chuck, so vanessa has found that just talking to blair, sincerely & honestly & openly and saying sorry works best. blair has never been very good at spoken apologies, so she usually writes apology letters, which she gives vanessa, because it's just easier that way, and hey, communication is communication! (vanessa keeps all the letters in a folder and reads through them sometimes. this usually makes her tear up, but in a good way - knowing that someone loves her enough to give her something she can hold and reread and remind them of - permanent, solid proof that blair is permitting vanessa to hold her accountable, to demand that she keep her word.)
which oneâs more ticklish: blair. but i think blair would say that she hates being tickled and vanessa... wouldn't tickle her.
their favourite rainy day activities: being silly in ways other people wouldn't expect them to be, because they're at home and they're not letting anyone in and this is THEIR time. maybe they would dress up as each other. do bad karaoke together. vanessa would get out her camera and get a riveting video of blair talking to their cat about various ammendments to the constitution. general chaos, the kind of things people usually do when not sober.... except they're both totally sober. the rain brings it out of them?
how they surprise each other: the first time blair makes her father's standard pie for vanessa, vanessa sinks to the kitchen floor like "you can COOK?" fkdhlkghgkl. but literally just tiny things like that. vanessa keeps giving blair books of hers - and blair, reading them, finds notes in the margins and falls more and more in love with her. i don't think either of them would actually surprise each other? i feel like that's not how their relationship works, if that makes sense.
their most sickening shows of public affection: they do the deed in a green room behind the stage during the play after blair's performance (vanessa does behind the scenes stuff, lights and props and all that, and this time she'd only been enlisted for blair's set, which suited her fine) and they manage to be quiet, which is good, but they lose track of time, which is not good, because someone knocks on the door like "are you both done yet?" and they're both mortified. they leave, and they go to one of blair's favourite bars, and the incident stops being embarrassing and becomes hilarious, instead. yes, they do the do in the club bathroom. and even though they both have other commitments the next day (v is hanging out with dan, b is hanging out with n&s) neither of them can stop grinning.
