Chapter 1:
The Ins and Outs of Marriage
Lorelai loved waking up with a good smelling man. It was a rare occurrence in her life, especially these days with Jason's insomnia and insistence to sleep alone, with her banished to the decked out guest room. However, this evening, there were special circumstances apparently. After the evenings events… she couldn't believe she was actually considering breaking up with Jason.
This was a perfect early morning after … warm and naked in the arms of her fella, and Lorelai couldn't help but notice how much more tone Jason's body was as she became more aware of her surroundings and her hand wandered over his chest and stomach, he must be working out.
Overall, life was good. The Dragonfly Inn was coming together, her daughter, Rory, was dazzling them in the Ivy League, and she had just had a night of mind blowing sex as a means of relaxing from her recent stresses and money troubles. Lorelai felt content and at peace for the first time in a long time. She opened her eyes eager to see her boyfriend first thing in the early morning … but her smile faded when she was met with the sight of a naked Luke Danes beside her instead.
What?
Lorelai propped herself up on her elbow to take in the full sight. They were in Luke's apartment above the diner, specifically in his twin bed. Luke "Coffee will kill you" Danes, still asleep and dead to the world, and she, Lorelai "Can I have Coffee in my Blood Transfusion" Gilmore, naked … in bed together. Talk about mind blowing…Lorelai rubbed her throbbing forehead as the night's events suddenly surged through her brain.

And now…
It's time… for a Flashback (insert En Vouge: Never gonna get it, Never gonna get it, Never gonna get it, Never gonna get it….A WOAW WOAW WOOOOOOOAW…)

7 hours ago…
Lorelai entered her house, just dropped off from her date with Jason, and frowned at the "Talking Key" in her hand.
Sure, Jason was funny and kind of quirky… but he was well … just for fun… and now he was really starting to care about Lorelai? About "them"? Professing that this was the most serious relationship he had ever had, and that the feeling to run away wasn't present this time around… that he wanted to stay with Lorelai?
But did Lorelai want to stay with Jason? How did Lorelai feel about Jason?
Was he "it" for her? Were her feelings growing just as fast… if at all…?
No, Lorelai realized. The main attraction to Jason was that he pissed off Emily. And even that didn't work out since she had never told Richard and Emily they had been seeing each other to begin with.
The only reason Lorelai finally accepted Jason's invitation was to get back at Emily. During the Yale/Harvard game, Emily had wrongly took out her anger over Richard's secret luncheons with Pennilyn Lott on Lorelai. So naturally, in a just retaliation, Lorelai called Jason, and they had the worst first date ever… but for whatever reason… the mismatched pair continued to see each other.
This whole thing started off on the wrong foot as she recalled the mishaps of their first date, somehow in the infatuation over the last few months, those blunders had been misinterpreted as charming, but in retrospective… they were just annoying… as they had been when they originally unfolded.
Lorelai hated giving bad news to people and even more so breaking up with a boyfriend. How do you explain to some one you just… don't feel what they do…? The last time she didn't feel the same way as someone else… she almost married him. Rather than face Max and his disappointment, and in childish avoidance of the uncomfortable conversation, she ran away on a road trip with Rory two days before the wedding. Everyone in Stars Hollow knew the wedding was off before the groom did.
Lorelai wanted to be mature about it this time… but she and Jason were two of the most immature people in all of Connecticut, and she hated not knowing how Jason was going to take it. Any advice? She asked the talking key, you know him better than I do…
The key's silence mocked her predicament… to give her mind a break, Lorelai played her phone messages to find that Luke's voice filled the air.
Luke? ... Luke never calls me, she dismissed with a wave, it can wait what could he possibly need from me at this time of night … Lorelai was about to go up stairs to bed when two words caught her attention…
Police station?
… and she spun quickly on the stairs to face the machine again …
In Jail? Her eyes nearly popped out of her head.
With that, Lorelai was out the door to be there for her friend.

After Luke attacked the sock man's car a second time, he officially calmed down, and Lorelai felt bad that Luke had to drive back to Stars Hollow all by himself. Away from Litchfield, away from his townhouse, his wife, and from their vows she was breaking. As Lorelai followed him on the road she wondered what Luke could possibly be thinking by himself in the green truck ahead of her. Trying to remember his lawyer's number or where exactly he had put those divorce papers, or possibly beating himself up for the whole weird marriage to begin with.
Lorelai had to follow Luke to the diner, not only did they live in the same town, despite what he had told others about moving to Litchfield. Lorelai just wanted to make sure he didn't drive off a cliff or do something drastic. He had parked around the corner from the diner, like he usually did. And though Lorelai parked a little down the street, closer to Doose's, she could still see how defeated he was as he climbed the few stairs in to his lonely diner. She knew Luke shouldn't be alone, not at a time like this, that's what friends were for. So she left her car by Doose's, and she walked up to the diner and persistently knocked on the door.
When Luke finally came to the door, he barked at her through the glass with a muffled, "What?"
"Can I come in?"
"No"
"Luke, please… you just found out … you know… about Nicole… I don't think you should be alone…"
Luke fumed and glared at her.
"I know where the spare key is," she reminded him with a threat.
Luke knew she would push it till she got her way anyway, so he resigned with a heavy "Fine," and he unlatched the door and let her in, "… you want a beer?" he dully offered.
"Please," she smiled, not really sure what was ahead, "you have beer in the diner?" finding it strange since in 7 years she had never seen it on the menu.
"Yeah… I got a liquor license a few months ago to piss off Taylor," and Luke went into the kitchen to get the beer.
That's the Luke she knew. Luke had been there for her so many times before… most recently with lending her the money to finish the Inn. Yeah, Jason didn't even do that…If she could repay him in some small way, be there for him even if he didn't want her there. It was obvious he didn't want to talk about it specifically… but if he changed his mind, she would be up for that too.
Frankly, the whole relationship had been a mystery to Lorelai. How had Luke and Nicole met? How did they end up together? Why did they keep dating when they obviously had nothing in common? What made Luke propose on that cruise anyway? How hard did they really "try again" if he never really moved into "their" place in Litchfield? How long had there been a Sock man?
Lorelai hoped that as the beer flowed, some of the relationship details would too, despite how much she'd hate hearing about the life and intimate times of Luke and Nicole.

About two hours and a quite a few beer bottles later, Lorelai had never seen Luke laugh so hard.
They started off slow with causal beers and as the alcohol took its desired effect, they were bashing everything about Nicole, her profession as a lawyer, and her beloved sock man.
"Oh My God…" Lorelai sniggered hoping the liquid didn't go up her nose.
"What?" and Luke turned around to see what caught Lorelai's attention outside… Luke squinted, "Is that Kirk…?"
"Yes," Lorelai started laughing hysterically again, "And he's naked," Lorelai clapped with delight, "Oh, why do I never have a camera for things like this…" as she tried to catch her breath.
"Would you really want to save that for all time?" Luke asked, his voice conveying how loose he felt now.
"Sure, we could send it out on our Christmas cards. Oh, Emily would love that…" and she took another swig.
"Yeah that would go over big I'm sure… Oh No, Quick, he's coming around for another pass," As Kirk went screaming and streaking through the square for his second lap, Luke took Lorelai's hand and pulled Lorelai behind the counter. They ducked down so Kirk wouldn't see them, and they peaked around the counter to see when he had gone…
"That's really Kirk… naked," Luke was disgusted and confused.
Lorelai couldn't help but giggle, "That is really Kirk… really running, really naked …through the really square." She cocked her head to one side for a better view, if there was one, and Lorelai observed, "I think his eyes are closed…", and she turned to look at Luke, and suddenly noticed how close he was beside her. Lorelai's foggy mind recalling… Oh no, I think we've been here before… and her eyes automatically dropped to his lips.
Luke was having the déjà vu sensation too, almost in the same position with Lorelai before… back when they were picking paint colors for the diner … four years ago… that wasn't four years ago, was it really four years ago? He argued with himself, but he could have measured the time by the length of her hair. They had hidden in that exact same spot when Taylor came with the entire historical society to discuss the use of pastels in the diner's new color scheme. That night, so many moons ago, Luke had wanted to kiss her then…
Now that he had a second chance for that kiss, the same girl, the same location… so he did; No hesitation, No thinking about it this time, he just leaned in and did it and Lorelai didn't fight him. Hiding like teenagers under the bleachers, they were behind the counter unable to stop themselves.
It felt so good and right to be together, having known each other for years but never crossing that line.
Tonight the dam had broken, to many factors filling up against their respective relationships, too much pressure to ignore. In each other's arms they were safe from heartbreak, soothed from pain and most importantly…finally together.
No words were used or needed. Only sighs and moans to give permission for what was happening. Luke removed Lorelai's pink coat to the floor, and Lorelai's arms were all too eager to be free of the fabric so they could remove Luke's flannel shirt. Lorelai returned the kiss with everything she had, and could have devoured him, eager to keep his attention. She adjusted her position to sit across from him and lean into him on the floor, cupping his face in her hands, but Luke soon had Lorelai lying on her back, eager show her what had been missing from the 7 years of their long friendship.
