A/N: sorry if the chapter titles are confusing you. I just changed them around a little so it'll end right. Enjoy.

Later that day, Lorelai had already left after much pleading from Rory, and Dean is helping Rory to finish unpacking.
"Thanks for helping. At this point, I would have never got it done it myself."
"No problem."
They finished unpacking some little things from one last box, when Dean came across the bracelet. He smiled.
"You still have this?"
Rory smiled in return, "Yeah."
"Come here." he said, motioning to sit down next to him on the floor. Rory scooched over and wrapped her arms around his one arm, cuddling close. He took her hand in his and carefully tied it around her wrist, making sure not to break the teathered leather. Rory beamed with delight and gave him a kiss.
"Thanks...you know, I wore it a couple months even after you left. Then my mom said it was a good idea to put it away and try and forget about you...well, not to forget about you but to try and not be so upset about you leaving. I did take it off but, by then I was so used to wearing it for almost two years straight, that I had to buy another bracelet to replace it. It felt strange but I gradually grew into it..." she admitted in one breath.
Dean wrapped his arm around her, bringing her closer to him and kissed her forehead lightly.
"I love you." he said.
She hugged him tighter, "I love you.."
"So what are you doing tonight?"
"Um, well...nothing."
"How about we watch a movie?"
"Oh! Which one?" she asked excitedly.
"How does 'When Harry Met Sally' sound?"
"Mmm..perfect."
"It's a date."
They sat in silence for a moment, "Hey, I have a crazy idea."
"Those are never good words coming out of your mouth."
"that's not what you said last night.." she reminded him.
Dean laughed, "Okay, what?"
"Since you've been staying in that inn, trying to find a place to stay...how about you come and stay with me.."
"Tonight, you mean?"
"Every night." she said, hoping he would agree.
"Are you proposing we live together?"
"What if I am?"
"I'd say yes."
"Really?" she asked, facing him.
"Really."
"Oh my god, this is fantastic!" she said, giving him a hug, that made him fall backwards, laying down, and she fell atop of him, straddling his legs. Rory's hair hung down in front of her face as she laughed. Her laughs calmed down and, tossing her long hair behind her shoulder casually, she leaned down only inches from his face and kissed his bottom lip. He moved up for another taste, but she pulled back.
"Want more?" she asked, teasingly.
"Yes.."
"Well..." she said, touching his lips with her fingertip, "...you gotta catch me!" she said as she hopped up and tried to run. She didn't go far because he grabbed her ankle making them fall in a bundle on the floor laughing in hysterics.
Still laughing, Rory held her knee, "Ah, gah!...now I remember why I don't run."
Dean looked up and saw her holding her knee close to her chest, "Oh god, are you alright?"
Rory drew in a breath, "Jeez, yeah I think so..maybe just pulled a muscle."
Dean picked her up and carried her over to the couch, laying her down gently and placing a pillow under her knee.
Rory smiled, "I think i'm gonna like having you around."
"If I wasn't here, you wouldn't have fallen." he said with a laugh, walking into the kitchen.
"Yeah..well."
Dean came back with some ice wrapped in a towel and handed it to her "Hold this for a second." He pulled up the leg of her sweatpants up to her knee and put his pressure on it with his hand. Rory drew in a breath of pain.
"Okay, the point is to make it feel better." Rory said.
"It's just a bruise."
"I don't see a bruise."
"Bruises aren't always visible..and those are the ones that hurt the most."
"Aren't you mr. know it all."
He smiled, and put the ice on her leg, "Hold it there." He got up.
"Where are you going?" she asked.
He knelt close beside her, "Well, if you were being serious about me staying here, I think it'd be smart to go and get my things from the Inn."
"You really want to stay with me?" she asked in a state of disbelief.
"Why wouldn't I?" he said, as he placed a kiss on her lips.
Rory licked her lips, "Mmm...one more." He kissed her again.
"Again.." she smiled. he kissed her again, longer and more lickerish.
"And they keep getting better." she commented with a grin.
He leaned in a pecked her lips three more times, "Is that enough to hold you over?" he asked sweetly.
Rory pursed her lips in a mock state of thought, "If you get me some coffee, I believe i'll survive. How long will you be?"
"Uh, the longest, an hour. Don't move from your spot or you'll just make your leg worse."
"Thanks Doctor Dean."
Dean grabbed his coat and opened the door, "I'll be back...with coffee."
"Coffee times two, please! I'll be waiting." she said, as he left. She reached for the remote and turned on the T.V.
