A.N Okay this is my first Gilmore Girls fan fic. Be nice.

Disclaimer: I only own the plot. Sad really.

What if Jess told Rory what happened to his eye?

'Grandma could I speak to Jess for a minute?' Rory asked and practically dragged her boyfriend into Richards' study. 'What happened to your eye!' she demanded as soon as Jess had shut the door behind them. He avoided her gaze and shifted uncomfortably. 'Jess?' Rory asked

'Don't laugh okay?' he asked, Rory blinked. He sounded very insecure about this. 'A swan' he admitted, it sounded stupid just saying it.

'What?'

'I got attacked by a swan.' Jess said as he squirmed. He tried to cover up his embarrassment by getting angry. 'Okay? You happy? A stupid swan.'

'What?' she almost mocked.

'It hangs out by Larson's Dock. I was just walking by and the thing came out of nowhere and bam – beaked me right in the eye!' Rory stifled a laugh. 'This is not funny!' he said feeling more embarrassed by the minute. 'It is a vicious, vicious bird!'

'I don't think I've ever heard the word "beaked" used as a verb before.' Rory said trying (and failing) to suppress her laughter. A reluctant blush crept up Jess's face and he hated himself for it. Rory got herself back under control. Jess rarely showed emotion and it should be handled with care.

'You're cute when you're embarrassed.' She teased and Jess turned away putting his protective walls back up along with his façade.

'We're being rude to your grandmother Rory.'

'Correction. You are.'

'Tell her I got hit in the eye with a softball and I'll try to do better.' Jess said.' Rory nodded and they left the study.

Jess seemed to open up more when he saw how important this was to Rory. He was now willing to put more effort into it. So by the time they left Rory thought they had left a good impression on Emily Gilmore as the woman's smiled became more genuine.

On the drive home:

'Thank you.' Rory said looking at her boyfriend.

'For what?'

'For playing nice; it's not something you usually do.'

'Thanks Rory.' Jess said sarcastically. Rory smiled.

'You know what I mean.'

'Your welcome.' He replied. There was a comfortable silence.

'So a swan huh?' Rory teased, she couldn't resist (A.N and neither could I).

'Shut up.' He said although playfully he was trying (and failing) to hide his emotions. They parked in Rory's driveway.

'Mom's not here 'till morning if you wanna stay a while.' Rory invited.

'Alright.'

Inside they grabbed a move. They sat down next to each other and Rory leaned on Jess's chest. Jess looked down at Rory, surprised but pleased.

Before either of them knew it the door banged open and Lorelai's voice filled the room.

'Rory?' she called. The couple woke up to the sheer harsh light of day. Taking in is surroundings Jess said

'Oh-oh'

'Did we fall asleep?' Rory asked. Lorelai entered the room.

'Oh my god!' she exclaimed. Rory jumped up like a scalded cat.

'Mom!' she exclaimed.

'What happened in here?' the mother demanded

''We must have fallen asleep.' Jess said, getting up also.

'What time is it?' he asked

'Seven.'

'I've got to get to the diner.' He said quickly and bolted out the door.

Lorelai turned to her daughter, eyebrows raised.

'Nothing happened.' Rory said indignantly 'We fell asleep watching a movie that's it.

'Okay.' Lorelai said and headed into the kitchen to make a pot of coffee.
