Jess and Rory sat comfortably on the couch in Luke's apartment. Rory's head
was against Jess's shoulder, and his arm was around her. Jess glanced at
Rory quickly, his heart racing.
They were watching the South Park marathon, and Jess had stopped paying attention to the TV 45 minutes ago. A commercial came on, and Rory's eyes didn't move. They were glazed over, and he wondered how much attention *she* was giving the television in front of them.
Rory was looking at the TV intently, fascinated with the commercial for scrubbing bubbles. Her mind was so tired, and she just wanted to sit and relax. It helped that Jess was there. His arms were strong around her, and his chest firm and solid under her head.
She felt him take a deep breath and smiled contentedly.
"I love you."
Rory's heart leaped. She froze, registering his words and the rough, raw sound of his voice.
"What?"
Rory twisted around to look at him. His eyes were fixed on the TV, burning madly blue. His jaw was tensed, and he looked. for once in his life, Jess looked scared. His eyes locked on hers, fire dancing behind them, and repeated his words again.
"I love you."
Rory smiled, a perfect smile, and Jess felt like he was going to break.
"I love you too, Jess."
Rory planted a kiss lightly on his lips and buried her head in his shoulder. She had known that he cared about her, but knowing that he loved her. it gave her a jolt she could barely hold inside. Her heart was racing, and she felt like she was floating. This was what it was, once again, she was sure. This was fate. Rory smiled against Jess's T-shirt as he hugged her close.
"You're the first person I ever said that two."
Jess's voice was quiet.
"It does mean something."
Rory kissed him again, and she could feel it.
This was forever.
*This is the way that I say I need you
this is the way that I say I love you
this is the way that I say I'm yours
this is the way*
