Chuck/Blair. Best couple ever. When you look at both of them you really wouldn't imagine either of them being overly religious so this is just how I think Chuck's faith would be like. So yeah… R&R
.
.

Maybe there's a God above
but all I've ever learned from love
was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
[Faith makes all things possible... love makes all things easy.]

Chuck Bass was not a religious person. He never went to church, never preached the teachings of god and he never prayed.
(Well, almost never.)
.
.
.
The first time he prayed he's 7 years old and he's staring blankly at what can only be described as the most terrifying thing he's ever encountered.
Blair Waldorf is crying. This is just downright wrong.
(Because, even though he's Chuck Bass he's still only 7. So this is before scotch and skipping class and hookers and strip clubs and a twisted love triangle where everyone ends up broken.)
"I don't think Nate like likes me anymore," she whispers.
(He can feel something inside his chest cracking)
The next day Blair and Nate are holding hands and its blairandnate and nateandblair all over again.
That night Chuck prays that He never feels that way about her again.
.
.
.
The next time it happens he's 12. Which is really only 5 years away from 7 but it seems like a life time.
(Because the difference between seven and twelve is filled with absent parents and experimentation and always being treated older than you are.)
He loses his virginity to Georgina Sparks and feels the intense hatred pour into his soul as he receives the most hate-filled glare he has ever seen come from Blair. He swears to himself he has no idea what he did wrong,
(Deep down even at twelve he knows why,)
But even so, that night he prays very, very hard that he will never make Blair that angry again.
(It's a prayer that doesn't come true.)
.
.
.
Chuck Bass doesn't pray again till he's sixteen years old. At sixteen and about five glasses of scotch into it he sees Serena Van Der Woodsen and Nate Archibald getting hot and heavy in an empty room. And it really shouldn't make him this angry, that Nate is cheating on Blair,
(Because this could be everything, you know it could.)
But it does. So angry the glass he's holding shatters in his hand and rich, red blood drips from his fingertips and onto the carefully polished floor. He wonders if this means something, symbolically, for his future.
(To be honest, he's too drunk to care.)
He prays that Serena leaves so that Blair never gets hurt like this ever again.
(His prayer does and doesn't come true in heart breakingly horrible ways.)
.
.
.
He prays after he makes love to Blair for the first time. He drops her home and she leaves without so much as a thank you, then he orders his driver to go anywhere but here. He watches the stars pass by the sunroof and prays that Blair's face fades from his mind. Because this isn't anything, he's got to remember that.
(It's a boy and a girl who are supposed to be together, and a best friend who's in love with the girl and no one really knows what they're doing any more)
.
.
.
By the time he's 21 he's made Blair cry a total of 187 times,
(Not that he's counting.)
Still, he says a little prayer,
(Please God…)
Gets down on one knee,
(Please, please God…)
Pulls out a ring,
(Dear God, please…)
Looks into her eyes,
(Dear Lord, please have mercy on my soul…)
.
.
.
Blair kisses him and the world stops.
(Well what did you think she was going to say?)
.
.
.
Chuck Bass never prays again, when he thinks about it… he doesn't really need to. All his prayers have been answered.
(Blair was only thing he was ever praying for anyway.)
