A Man and his Mary
Pairings: L/L the rest to be determined in the story
Disclaimer: My god, how many times do I have to repeat myself I don't own Gilmore Girls or CMM but if I did damn straight he would be back on the show!
Rory groaned, in her arms was a large box containing her books she awkwardly balanced the box onto her knee to leave an arm free to press for the elevator
"May I assist?" came a deep voice from behind
A strong looking hand reached in front of her and pressed for the elevator
"About damn time!" exclaimed Rory
Tristan chuckled
"You were supposed to be here an hour ago to help me move into the shag pad!"
"I love the way you say that" said Tristan stepping into the waiting elevator
"Yeah I'm the only female ever to be reluctant in entering" said Rory joining him
"I can't help it, they love me" said Tristan putting his briefcase on the floor to take the box from Rory
"And I DuGrey never disappoints does he?" remarked Rory
"No he certainly doesn't Mare" he said pressing the button for their floor
*********************************************************************
Tristan removed his tie and sat down on his bed to untie his shoes
In the lounge area he could hear Rory talking animatedly to Lorelai on the phone
He stuck his hands in his pockets and leant against the door watching her
"Mom I can't believe you broke the monkey lamp!" Rory walked around the room the silver cordless attached to her ear
"Don't try to blame it on Tom! That lamp has been in the family for years besides he's too much like Luke to ever break something"
Tristan smiled he could just imagine Lorelai's wild accusations
"So hows the new Inn?" asked Rory plainly tired of arguing with her mother about the lamp
"No I'm good Tristan and I finally moved all my stuff in I just have to buy a few more book cases" Rory turned to see Tristan standing, watching her, a small smirk on his lips
"Ok I'll pass him on right now" Rory handed Tristan the phone
"Hello Lorelai"
"Tristan Darling!" cooed Lorelai
"How are you?" he enquired as Rory settled herself on the couch
Rory watched Tristan effortlessly chat with her mother and for once she could tell what women saw in him. Standing in the doorway with his black suit and crisp white shirt, the top two buttons undone; which contrasted with his smooth tanned skin his eyes twinkled and he smiled as Lorelai obviously made an exhibition of herself. His messy tousled blonde locks suited his playboy charm perfectly.
"Thankyou Lorelai I'll put her back on" he said then handed Rory the phone
"Just so you know she gave me permission to seduce you in the middle of the night as long as I buy her a new monkey lamp" he said covering the mouthpiece and grinning at Rory
Rory snatched the phone from his hands
"Mother did you just sell your child up the river for a new Monkey Lamp?" she asked
Tristan continued watching Rory who argued good naturedly with her mother. Even in sweats she looked gorgeous, her straight brown locks were pulled into a cute ponytail on top of her head, her blue eyes were lively as she laughed and chatted
"Bye Mom" called Rory into the phone then put it into the air in front of her so Tristan could hear Lorelai
"Bye Tristan!" called Lorelai like an excited 8-year old
Rory hung up the phone
"So movie night?" Tristan asked?
"Stupid question" said Rory throwing a pillow at him
*********************************************************************
Rory and Tristan lay entwined on his brown suede couch; surrounding them were criminal piles of junk-food and empty DVD cases scattered the floor
"So do you think that Brad Pitt was hotter in Meet Joe Black or Fight Club?" asked Rory chewing a red snake
Tristan twirled a strand of her hair around his finger affectionately as she lay across him
"Pass" said Tristan
"You can't pass on Brad Pitt" protested Rory
"I can and I will" remarked Tristan
"You were always too scared to show your feminine side" teased Rory
"Hey I thought I was pretty" said Tristan with an eyebrow raised
"That drink did not last that long" said Rory
The two smiled contentedly
*********************************************************************
You never saw one without the other
Together they were a team
They lived together
They laughed
She cried, he was a shoulder
There were rumours, they weren't true
Though she thought he was Handsome
And he thought she was Gorgeous
He was her best friend
She was his
They lived
They loved
Together forever
A man and his Mary
