Bloody Kiss

Author's Note: I got nothing to say except I'm a very lazy person.

HARTFORD HOSPITAL-Room 412

Tristan was lying on the bed while his mother was packing all his stuff into the bag. Earlier that morning the doctor had given permission for Tristan to go home. It has been three days since Rory came to visit him. She hadn't returned. He doesn't know why…

Actually, he did know why. He just pretended that it wasn't the reason.

FLASHBACK

"I'm sorry he hurt you" Tristan said, breaking their comfortable silence. His fingers still tangled with Rory's.

Rory didn't say anything. She looked up and stared him in the eye and gave him the sweetest smile.

Tristan, who was so mesmerized by the beauty of Rory Gilmore, reached his right hand up and caressed  Rory's soft pink cheek.

"You're so beautiful" he whispered so only she could hear.

"Thank you" she whispered back. Suddenly, she felt like her hand had a mind of it's own. Her left hand reached up and landed softly on Tristan's.

For a minute, Tristan pain was gone. He felt light headed. He felt like he was floating. And then he leaned in and kissed her. His lips touched hers so softly. Rory's breath was caught in her throat the minute she felt Tristan's lips on her lips. This was the second time Tristan had kissed her. And my god… his lips, his kiss was so soft.

After a few seconds spent trying to recover from her shock, Rory returned Tristan's kiss. Their lips moved together slowly. Tristan was more than grateful when Rory kissed him back but he wanted more. He wanted to kiss her… he wanted to taste her. So he skillfully licked her bottom lip twice. It was like pushing the door bell and waited for the occupant to open the door. And luckily… the occupant was home and she opened her door with open arms.

She tasted better than he had imagined. So sweet… so… tasty. He wanted more… and more… and more…

Their lips moved aggressively. Rory was in ecstasy. His lips were too soft… his taste was too good for her to pull away. Suddenly, the sweet taste of his kiss changed. It tasted… bitter. Like… blood.

Oh my god Rory thought. She pulled away immediately.

"Oh god," Rory said, looking at Tristan, who was in shock from their previous action. "I'm so sorry," she continued.

"What? Why?" Tristan asked. His eye brows furrowed.

"Your-- your cut. Its bleeding," Rory said, looking at a cut on his swollen lips.

Tristan touched the cut with his finger then looked at it before he wiped it off on his hospital outfit. "Its nothing," he said, looking at her guilty eyes. His eyes were pleading for her to continue their passionate kiss.

"I-- I'm sorry. I have to go," Rory said getting up from the bed.

"Rory, it's nothing."

"I have to go," Rory grabbed her jacket from the chair and left the room.

END FLASHBACK

GILMORE HOUSE

Rory was sitting in her room, doing her homework when the memory of kissing Tristan came back to her mind. His soft lips, the sweet taste of his mouth… but then it changed when his cut was bleeding. but it was still a mind blowing kiss. Tristan DuGrey… the first boy she ever kissed.

In the mean time, Lorelai was sitting on the chair drinking her coffee. Her right hand holding the mug and the fingers on her left hand kept on tapping on the table and her eyes never left Rory's figure in her room. Ever since Rory got back from the hospital, she seemed… weird. She didn't talk much and her face would turned red when Lorelai mentioned anything about Tristan. She'd asked Rory if she wanted to talk about it several times. Rory's response was always "everything's fine."

Rory, who was very aware that her mom was staring at her for a while now, sighed deeply and got up from her seat. "Fine… I surrender," she said throwing up her hands as though admitting defeat. She walked out of her room and took a seat next to Lorelai.

"I knew you would. No one can resist my concerned face," Lorelai said with a big smile plastered on her face.

"Okay. You know that I went to see Tristan at the hospital……"

"Uh huh. Uh huh," Lorelai nodded.

"Well ummm… hekissedme," Rory said then gave Lorelai a million dollar smile.

"What was that?

"Tristan. He kissed me-- right here," Rory said pointing at her lips, "and I kissed him back so umm… we kissed. Yup. We definitely kissed," she added thinking about their passionate kiss.

"Wow."

"Yeah. Wow."

"So… I take it you like him then?"

"Honestly mom… I really don't know. I keep asking myself why I kissed him back. Was it because I like him? And if I do… why? Why do I like him? There is no reason for me to like him at all. I mean, all he's ever done to me was piss me off… annoy me, call me Mary. To tell you the truth, I wasn't really happy when he was around. So why did I kiss him?"

"Maybe because you feel sorry for him. You know like sympathy. You did see him get beat up right in front of you. Then you saw him at the hospital, lying on the bed… helpless. With bandages and all those creepy machines beside him. Or, maybe you do like him."

"I think you're right mom."

"Which part? You like him?"

"No. The part you said about me feeling sorry for him. I do feel sorry for him."

"So you don't like him?"

"No-- Wait. I do. But, not in that way. You know…"

"I understand"

"Yeah…"

"So… do you know when he'll come back to Chilton?" Lorelai asked.

"No I don't. I don't even know when he'll get out of the hospital."

"Why don't you go visit him at the hospital?"

"You think he will still be there?"

"That my daughter, is for you to find out."

"Yeah I guess. But I wouldn't know what to say to him. About the kiss and why did I ran away."

"You ran away?"

"Yeah. I know it wasn't the right thing to do but I was confused and I still am."

"Just tell him the truth sweetie. Be honest. I'm sure he'll understand."

DUGREY MANSION

"Are you sure you're comfortable?" Jennifer DuGrey asked as she covered Tristan's body with blanket.

"Yeah. I'm fine. Thanks mom."

"If you need anything just call me or one of the maids."

Tristan nodded.

"I'll be in my room okay?" Jennifer said then left the room.

He nodded, again. Then released a deep sigh as soon as his mother left the room. He had been thinking a lot about Rory when he was still at the hospital. She had run away. He has to face it. She hates him. What else is there to say? Maybe he should just forget about her. Maybe... That's the word. He didn't think he could forget about her. But he has to. She didn't want him. What else could he do? Beg her to take him? Uh uh. No way. He was a DuGrey. Big name and unfortunately big ego too. Next week he would go back to Chilton with his mind set. He would-LEAVE RORY ALONE. Maybe...
