Hey everyone! Thanks for reading my story. Actually it was planned as an one-shot but insisted on a second chapter, so here you go.

Please review if you liked it. (Criticsm is of course also highly recommended. But reading a story, like it and don't review - not nice ;-))

„Aaron, nice to see you again." Chuck greeted Blair's stepbrother as he walked in the Palace lobby.

"Chuck Bass, never thought I'd see you ever again." Aaron said.

Chuck just finished his note and laid it on the pillow next to Blair. When he grabbed the blanket and put it over her, he had to bite back the tears once again. He'd come to the Waldorf house though he knew her mother's wedding was downstairs. He'd come though he left her after she told him the magic words. And she was still there for him. She never let go of him, from the moment she sat next to him and embraced him until just a few minutes ago when he got up. He needed to leave her. For her own sake. Blair deserved someone better, someone worthy. So he wrote the note, tucked her in and left the bedroom noiseless.

When Chuck went down the stairs and want to walk to the elevator on the right, he nearly bumped into someone. Both were too shocked to say nothing in the first place.

"Okay, enough awkward silence. Since you're wearing designer close and are obviously drunk, I guess, you're not a burglar." Aaron summarized as he eyed Chuck.

"I'm Chuck Bass. I'm Blair's….Blair's…."he didn't know what he was? Was he her lover? Maybe. A friend? No, so much more. He just didn't know what he was.

"You're Serena's stepbrother. I saw you at the funeral. I'm Aaron Rose. Blair's stepbrother, I guess." Aaron helped to continue the convo.

Chuck nodded. "Look, I've to leave right now. But would you do me a favor? Make sure Blair get some attention from your parents. It's possible that she'll be rather upset tomorrow."

Aaron nodded and Chuck left. Both decided later that this was the most strange meet&greet they ever had.

"I guess, I was summoned because of something with Blair?" Aaron asked.

"Yes. Yes, there's something that need to be done, if you don't mind." Chuck decided that Aaron was maybe not the typical hero but in this case, he really could help. "Look, the thing is that Blair has to deal with a bunch of insecurities right now. I want you to take some pictures of her like you did with Serena."

"It's not that simple. …." Chuck told him a bit form the problems Blair was facing right now. Of course, he spared the parts he knew Blair didn't want to be told. When he finished, Aaron nodded and stayed silent for a moment.

"Well, Chuck, here's the thing. I think Blair and you should come to a shoot. Me and my friend Max are working on a exhibition about complicated relationships in pictures right now. Just come to the atelier and we'll see how it goes from there."

Three weeks later.

"Well, this wasn't so bad." Chuck said still laughing.

"I hope for your sake that it wasn't." Blair hissed playfully.

If anyone from the UES had been in Brooklyn just two minutes before, he or she would have got the view of the most strange things in the world.

#1 Blair and Chuck in Brooklyn.

#2 Blair and Chuck leaving a photo atelier.

#3 Blair wearing a pair of blue jeans and as top nothing but a white undershirt.

#4 Chuck wearing a white muscle shirt and black suit pants.

They looked like two models from a Calvin Klein advert but somehow still like the spoiled kids that they are in totally unfitting clothes.

Another two months later.

Lily and Rufus accompanied Blair and Chuck to the exhibition of Max and Aaron's pictures. Max told them at the shoot that he wants to bring up three photos of each couple. He also mentioned that they had great chemistry. So both Chuck and Blair were nervous to see how the pictures were.

As soon as they entered the great round hall room of a very famous New York museum they were stunned by recognizing the five great pictures in the middle of the room. Those pictures stole the rest of the show from the other pictures.

# 1, outside margin on the left.

Blair trying to get in a comfortable pose on the couch with a laughing Chuck in the background.

#2, left of the middle

Blair chasing Chuck with a pillow from the couch to slap him.

"He shouldn't have laughed, should he?" Lily whispered to Blair and she nodded. Not taking her eyes from the photos but smiling.

# 3 right of the middle

Chuck sitting on a chair. He looked like James Dean in that picture decided Lily. Blair was in the background, arms crossed and smirking.

# 4 outside margin on the right

Blair lying on the floor, the pillow from the other photo beside her and above her, Chuck who tickled her. Both were laughing. Blair decided that this was her second-favorite photo because they looked so happy in it.

#5 in the middle, even a bit bigger than the other ones (and they had already ten to ten foot)

Blair sitting on Chuck's lap. His hands on her waist. Her hands and his shoulders. Forehead resting against forehead. Both had their eyes closed and looked so peacefully. It was stunning.

As soon as Aaron and Max spotted them, they began to clap. Soon the whole place saw them too and joined in the clapping. Blair blushed. Chuck leaned to her and whispered in her ear.

"Told you. Most amazing woman in New York City."

Blair smiled. "Chuck, I love you. Thank you."

"I love you more, trust me."

FIN.
