A/N: A new Finn/Rory fic from me. I already have two going, but this idea came to me and I wanted to write it. So please tell me what you think of it and if I should continue.

Disclaimer: I own absolutely nothing and it blows!

Chapter 1: Popping the freakin' question

As he saw the two familiar faces coming closer and closer to him in the hall, he cracked a smile.

It had been a while since he had seen them and he couldn't deny that he had missed them. They had known each other since they were in diapers and had always been best friends, right until college. Finally they had to go their separate places.

He had been sad as anyone would be but had quickly regained. He found other friends but still managed to keep in touch with them. They spent the summer together, sometimes weekends and like himself, they were a part of the Life and death brigade and saw each other at the events. Of course their friendship faded a little.

He had never though they would be as close as they used to be, but he had been wrong.

"Finn, my man," Logan said as he walked up to his long-time friend and gave him a manly hug before Finn turned to Colin.

"So you finally became too bored of Princeton, ay?" he said with a smile and gave his other friend a loose hug. "Or we you just missing me too much? Completely understandable."

They blond and brunette both rolled their eyes. "Yes Finn, we couldn't stay away from our Australian friend. That's it. That's why we transferred to Yale, it has nothing to do with the fact that our parents made us." Colin shook his head, his voice completely cold.

"Still under the spell of the bloody parents?" Finn asked with a sight and patted their shoulder. "I always knew you two were a couple of wimps, but come on!"

They both slapped him none to gently, all in good fun of course.

"You might be careful with what you say Finnegan!" Logan said, hissing his real name out. "Just remember why you are here in the first place. Mommy and daddy threatened to take away the trust fund and suddenly Finn's a momma's boy."

The Australian held his hands up. "What can I say? The only thing I love more than money is women."

"Amen!" Logan and Colin both said.

"Speaking off," Logan began. "If my eyes aren't playing tricks on me, I am pretty sure that's none other than Stephanie Peters standing over there with some brunette chick."

Finn turned around to see Steph and Rory in an apparently interesting conversation. Rory had a big smile on her face and Steph listened with interest to whatever the brunette had to say. A few seconds later Stephanie broke into a smile too and jumped into Rory's arms as they both hopped up and down.

"Well, apparently something big is happening," Colin said as they continued to watch the two girls. "Who's that?"

"Rory Gilmore," Finn told them nonchalant. "My best friend."

Colin and Logan both looked surprised at their friend, whose attention was still on the girls, before exchanging a look.

"Your best friend?" Logan asked, making sure they hadn't heard wrong. "Your best friend?"

"Yep," was Finn's only answer.

The girls were still hopping up and down until Stephanie pointed behind Rory where Lanny stood. The brunette let go of the blonde and ran to Lanny, who tried to push her away, but she wouldn't give up. Before long they too were engaged in a hug. Finn couldn't help but smile as he noticed Lanny roll his eyes.

"I wonder what she did this time," he said to himself as his eyes connected with Lanny. He whispered something into Rory's ear. Soon he saw the brunette running to him.

"Finn! Where the hell have you been? I've been looking everywhere," she screamed excited and jumped into his arms. "He finally popped the question!"

"He popped the question?" Finn echoed, his voice just as much full of joy as Rory's.

She nodded her head eagerly. "He popped the freakin' question. And she said yes!"

"That's amazing love," Finn said honestly as he buried his head in her neck, hugging her tight to him.

"I know. Apparently he had it all set. Candles, flowers and some slow music in the background. You should have heard her this morning when she called me. I've never heard her sound so happy!"

"So Lorelai finally found her man," Finn stated.

"She sure did. They have this weekend all planned out. They are staying at home, simply relaxing and spending some time with each other before the Dragonfly Inn becomes to busy and mom has to work like 24/7." She took a small break and simply smiled. "I was of course told very discreetly that I was not to come home this weekend."

"So spending the weekend in your dorm with a good book?" he asked.

"Actually," she began slowly and looked up at him with her gorgeous blue eyes. "I need a place to crash tonight."

He raised an eyebrow. "How come?"

"Paris and Doyle decided to have a sex-marathon this weekend, and apparently it is no fun if they have to stay in her room. So if I don't want to see Doyle's naked butt again I have to find a new home for the weekend." She shook her head, a disgusted look on her face. "And I can't stay at Steph's, because I'm banned from her room because of that little incidence last Sunday."

He nodded his head with mock understanding. "And Rosemary? Lanny?" he asked, even though he had no problem having her stay at his dorm.

"Beside the fact that Lanny refuses to let me inside him dorm anymore, he is attended your poker-night and I don't want to sit alone in his crappy dorm with he freaky roommate trying to feel me up."

"Do I need to beat his ass?" Finn asked, half-joking.

"No," Rory began. "If he still doesn't get the message after your last beating, there nothing more you can do. But thanks though." She smiled sweetly at him. "And Rosemary is going on a date and we all know how that'll end."

"My God, Rosemary's easy!" Finn mocked as the duo sighed playfully.

"I know, but let's keep it between us. I don't think she knows," Rory whispered to Finn, who smiled in return. "Sure, her dates are hotter than Doyle but fact is I don't want to see anyone's butt!"

"Not even mine, love?" Finn pouted.

"Except yours of course! You know how much I desire you, Finny." She winked at him playfully.

"I know, the way you look at me. It's simply too obvious," he said as his hands slowly moved to her butt. "But don't worry, I feel the same way."

"Finn!" she said and jumped away from him and smacked his arm. "Dirty!"

Finn simply winked in return, when someone cleared their throat.

Rory spun around to see two unfamiliar faces watching her very closely. She couldn't help but let out a scream.

"Jeez," she said and held a hand to her chest, her breathing harsh. "Make some noise next time people!" She took a deep breath and exhaled. "Okay, scary moment over. I'm Rory."

Both guys looked at each other for a moment. "Logan Huntzberger," Logan introduced himself and held out his hand. Colin did the same.

"Right. And you know Finn how?" She cast Finn a look.

"They are my friends from Princeton that I told you about," Finn explained. "Transferring to Yale."

"Ah, the friends from Princeton. Well, I'm sure you'll just love it- Uh, Rosemary!" Rory cut herself off as she saw the redhead. "I'll be right back, got to tell her too." With that, she ran off to find Rosemary, who was also blessed with a tight hug.

"And Lorelai is?" Colin asked Finn, suddenly interested in this woman.

"Ror's mom."

"People must really love her," Logan mumbled.

Finn nodded his head agreeing. "It's kind of hard not to once you've met her. She's very popular in our group."

"Certainly seems like it," Logan said. "So, Rory, she knows everybody in our group or what?" Even though the boys went to Princeton they knew Lanny, Rosemary, Steph and so on from The Life and Death Brigade.

"Yeah, she already knew Steph when we became friends and the rest she met through me. They all loved her. Well, except Lanny. They have an odd relationship."

"Who doesn't have an odd relationship with Lanny?" Colin asked.

"True words, true-"

"Finn!" Rosemary cut him off as she came running toward the group, an angry expression on her face, while Rory, who was right behind her, had a silly smile on her face.

"What kitten?" Finn asked, almost afraid to ask.

"You called me easy!"

Finn quickly looked at Rory, who was laughing so hard she had to hold her stomach. "Rory, you said it was a secret!"

Rosemary shifted her head to Rory, who quickly became serious. "Finn, you brought this on yourself. You've made your bed, now you have to lie in it. And before you ask, no, I'm not lying in it with you!"

He glared at her with narrow eyes, but she simply shrugged. "Well, obviously Rory only told you half the story. Yes, I said you were easy, as in easy to hang out with. Easy to have fun with. Understand what I mean?" He flashed her a smile and prayed for the best.

She rolled her eyes. "Sure, Finn," she said, her voice sounding dangerous.

Finn let out a nervous cough and took a step away from her.

"Well Rose, I know we aren't exactly best friends, but to ignore us completely. Now that's just mean."

She turned around and for the first time saw Logan and Colin. "Beavis and butthead!" she screamed and gave both of them a hug.

"Well," Rory began. "Now that everything is good and dandy in this little world of ours, what do you say Finn? Can I stay at you dorm?" She batted her eyelashes and added a, "Pretty please."

"Why can't you stay at your own?" Rosemary asked.

"She doesn't feel like seeing butt's today," Finn told her.

"Then you really shouldn't stay at Finn's," Rosemary told Rory seriously. "You never know when he has one of his naked phases."

"I promise, if I feel one coming, I'll tell you," Finn said.

"Please do."

"I still don't get how you found this even just remotely funny," Rory said later that night as the boys were playing joker. She was the only girl and bored to death. "Where's Seth?"

"He's not here," Finn told her as he kept his eyes on the cards.

"Oh man! He's the only who's still fun when you are playing this game," she complained and laid down on the couch. "Aren't you bored of playing Finn? You look bored."

"See, that's were you are wrong," Finn told her. "This is me being concentrated. Now love, shut that pretty little mouth of yours and let me play."

She glared at him. "Fine," she said pretended to be offended and began eating a cracker. A minute went by before she opened her mouth again. "Aren't you bored Lanny? You look bored."

"Don't you remember Gilmore? We aren't talking," he deadpanned.

"You are talking to be now, aren't you?" He didn't answer and she sighed. "I'm sorry Lanny, it was a joke. I didn't think you would be this mad. Since when did you become such a snob?"

"Great apology love," Finn told her sarcastic, earning a dirty look from her.

Lanny raised an eyebrow. "I'm sorry if I don't appreciate you going around telling people that I'm gay and they must look out for me if they don't want me to jump them."

Rory shouldn't help but let out a laugh. "Sorry," she said and once again became serious. "I do apologize, but actually it was Steph's idea. So don't blame me for her corrupting me. I always knew she was bad for me."

"Ah, that's Steph," Colin chipped in with a smile.

"But we shouldn't blame all of this on Steph, she's too pretty. Actually Lanny, this is all your fault. You started this!"

"How did you figure that?" he asked.

"You started it by spreading those rumours of me and Finn," Rory reminded him and immediately gained Finn's attention.

"Well, those aren't rumours," came his simple reply.

"Really?" She crocked an eyebrow. "Well then, do tell me, when did Finn and I have hot amazing sex in the classroom? Or at the bathroom at the pub? Because as far as I remember I have never had sex in a classroom or at the pub nor have I had sex with Finn."

"She's telling the truth," Finn said with a nod. "We haven't had sex. We make sweet passionate love."

"Finn!" she yelled and threw a cracker at him. "You are not really helping."

"Shutting up," Finn said and 'zipped' his mouth.

"Since when did you become a snob?" Lanny mimicked her earlier question.

"Since guys started coming up to me asking if there was something special about that classroom or if any classroom works," she said. "By the way, strange guys have been calling my cell. You wouldn't know anything about that, would you?"

Lanny smiled and shook his head. "Of course not Gilmore, who do you think I am?"

"An arrogant son of a bitch with zero brain-cells," she said without missing a beat.

"Okay kids, stop the teasing," Finn said when he noticed the conversation was getting out of hand. "Now come here love and be my good luck charm." He patted his lap and Rory got up hesitating.

"Okay, but if you try any funny business, I'm out of here and I'm taking the crackers with me," she said with a serious face and she dumped herself in his lap.

"I'll try to control myself but I'm not making any promises," he grinned as he rapped an arm around her waist and she put her arm around his neck.

"Well, I understand. After all, I am irresistible." She winked at all the guy's.

"Do you remember when we just met her? So sweet and innocent," Robert said to Lanny as they both sighed dramatically. "Now she's such a little tease."

"Yeah, hanging out with Finn will do that to you."
