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!
"Mary if I didn't know better I would say you had a fetish for balconies" said Tristan a small grin on his face as he found Rory all by herself on the balcony at yet another Hartford function
"Yes well seeing as this shin-dig is yours I had to come didn't I?"
"You mean the thought of seeing me didn't make you rush here an hour earlier than it started?"
"Unfortunately for you, no"
"Where's Liz?" asked Rory
"Inside" he replied
"Where's Ryan?" he asked
"Inside"
"mmm"
"mm"
"So Liz is nice"
"Ryan's a scumbag" said Tristan breezily
"As opposed to you?"
"I said scumbag not devastatingly handsome and charming"
Rory let out a small "Hah!" but decided to drop the subject just in time for Liz to join them on the balcony
"Hey I've been looking for you everywhere!" said Liz smiling at Rory
"Favourite" Tristan hissed at Rory, putting an arm around Liz
Liz slapped him lightly on the arm
"Rory it would mean so much to me if you would be a bridesmaid"
"Wow" stammered Rory "Uh...Wow"
"It would mean so much to Tristan and I" said Liz pleadingly
"Ok then" agreed Rory with a small smile
"Great I have to circulate!" said Liz with a beaming smile, leaving them
"You have to wear lavender taffeta" teased Tristan
"Liz! I have some contingencies!" yelled Rory leaving Tristan by himself
Tristan smiled to himself and sipped his drink
*********************************************************************
Later that night
"I can't believe you!" yelled Lorelai at the bewildered 27 year old in front of her
"You said you were saving yourself for me!" cried Lorelai with pleading eyes at Tristan
"Lorelai you're married to Luke you were supposed to be saving yourself for me"
"Ohh yeah" said Lorelai as is suddenly remembering she was married, with a sigh she plopped herself down on the couch and smiled up at Tristan and Rory
After sending Liz back home with a bottle of champagne clasped firmly in her hand waving merrily to them from the taxi window Rory and Tristan had left to tell Lorelai about Tristan's engagement
"So ok I have one problem" said Lorelai as the two sat with her "Do I go to the buck's party or the hen's night?"
"Mom I don't think you'll be invited" said Rory chidingly
"Tristan would take me on his buck's night!" said Lorelai indignantly "Won't you Tris?" she asked expectantly
"I don't think you would want to come Lorelai" said Tristan cautiously
"Are you joking?" asked Lorelai "All those young hot lawyers?"
"Mom, left hand" said Rory
Lorelai looked down at her hand and caught sight of her wedding right "Ohh Right"
"So movie night?" she asked brightly
"Ok" agreed Rory
"Tristan I think you left some sweats here last time, try the linen closet" said Lorelai
"Thanks" said Tristan leaving to change
"Are you blind?" asked Lorelai
"What?"
"That gorgeous man is about to marry someone, someone who isn't you"
Rory shook her head
"Rory you are normally a smart girl but sometimes you amaze me"
Rory rolled her eyes
"Liz? What sort of name is that?"
Rory shrugged
"The Magdalens had a Doberman called Liz"
Rory plumped up the cushions
"It was ugly and smelly"
Rory went to hang up her coat
Lorelai caught her arm and stared her straight in the eye
"Mom he's my best friend" said Rory meeting her gaze
Lorelai let go of her arm and shook her head
*********************************************************************
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
He thought she was Gorgeous
He was her best friend
She was his
She found Love at first sight
He found Hate at first sight
She was falling in love
He tried to show his feelings but love wasn't on his side
She had Ryan
He had Liz
Now he was engaged
Lorelai tried but didn't succeed
They lived
They loved
Together forever
A man and his Mary
