one shot/ song fic centered around the return of chuck. The song, sometime around midnight, by the airborne toxic event, just made me think of the whole C/B thing that's going on right now. Make sure you read the song lyrics because it makes more sense. PS, sorry if it's not that great or there are grammatical errors … it's my first song-fic and it was written at 1 am.

Disclaimer: I own nothing

And it starts...
sometime around midnight
or at least that's when
you lose yourself
for a minute or two

It had only been hours since his return from Bangkok, but for some reason he decided to go out. He had been scouring Victorola in the off chance she would come looking for him upon hearing the news of his return. Actually, there wasn't a doubt in his mind that she would come looking for him, because he read her like a book. But It was almost 11 and still no sign of her.

As you stand...
under the bar lights
and the band plays some song
about forgetting yourself for a while
and the piano's this melancholy sound check
to her smile. And that white dress she's wearing
you haven't seen her for a while

But it was on his way out, when he spotted Serena, and right next to her was Blair. So she did come looking for me, almost smirking at the thought. But this wasn't his Blair in front of him, this girl looked tired, and defeated, and her eyes no longer sparkled like they used to. She was broken, and chuck had broken her.

But you know...
that she's watching
She's laughing, she's turning
she's holding her tonic like a crux
The room suddenly spinning
she walks up and asks how you are
so you can smell her perfume
you can see her lying naked in your arms

Then she looked up and they locked eyes for what seemed like forever. Chuck decided it was best for both of them if he just left. But of course, being Chuck Bass, not before one more drink. Apparently, that was too much for Blair because moments later she got up and left. And Chuck Followed

And so there's a change...
in your emotions
and all of these memories come rushing
like feral waves to your mind
of the curl of your bodies
like two perfect circles entwined
and you feel hopeless, and homeless
and lost in the haze
of the wine

Damnit she walked fast, even in her 3 in Manolo heels. But Chuck moved as fast as his feet could take him. You're out of your fucking mind chuck he thought to himself as he finally caught up to her

And you walk...
under the streetlights
and you're too drunk to notice
that everyone is staring at you
and you so care what you look like
the world is falling
around you

But before he could say anything she was getting in a taxi. I'll be damned. Much to his shock, not to mention hers, Chuck jumped in also. "I'm sorry" he said, his voice suddenly raspy. She just nodded her head in response. There were no other words exchanged in the cab for the rest of the ride

You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her

He didn't know how, but he ended up in her bedroom that night. Chuck awoke the next morning in a tangled mess with Blair, and as he watched the sun rise he whispered "I love you" against her ear. Blair smiled and snuggled closer to him "I love you too Chuck"

And you know that she'll break you
in two
