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!

*********************************************************************

Tristan swerved

The horrible sound of brakes on icy ground echoed in the dark night

"Damn deer" Tristan swore slamming his hand onto the steering wheel

Cautiously he reversed out of the ditch

In the corner of his eye he could see the deer running through the trees beside the road

*********************************************************************

Rory groaned

She could feel the icy road against her face

Picking herself up she walked silently over to the steps of her porch

A tear slid silently down her cheek as she stared out into the dark night

*********************************************************************

Tristan pulled his car into the Gilmore driveway

Huddled on the doorstep was Rory

Tristan jumped out of the car and ran over to her

"Mar, what's wrong?"

Rory buried her head further into her arms

Tristan put his arms around her

"Is it that bastard?" asked Tristan "I swear if he…"

"No it's not Ryan and don't swear" said Rory wiping her face on her sleeve

"What's wrong then?" asked Tristan

"Is Lorelai ok? Luke and the twins?"

"They're fine…it's me..." she stammered

"What is it?" he asked wiping the tears from her face

Rory's tear stained eyes met Tristan's as his hands cupped her face

"I…"

"Look Mar…"

"No I have to tell you something"

"No I have to tell you something!" said Rory getting frustrated and standing up

"Now I've tried to ignore it!" Rory ranted her arms waving dramatically "It's wrong it's sick! I've fought it since we were sixteen it's the whole essence of our relationship, you're the player I'm the innocent two opposites, two best friends stupid rumours that you know aren't true until one day…"

"Mary?" interrupted Tristan quietly

Rory looked up at him as he took her hands in his

"But I can't it would make Emily happy, I'd brakes Liz's heart I can't do that to someone it's not fair and I won't do that to someone...besides it's impossible we'd fight all the time…"

"Mary" his stare penetrated her as it always had

"Don't interrupt me!" said Rory catching her breath before trying to continue her rant

"Mary" he said again

"What? god damn it!" yelled Rory

"I love you" he said softly

Rory stopped breathing

Tristan smiled gently at her "Now what were you crying about?"

"I love you too" said Rory miserably

Tristan laughed loudly

"What's so funny?" asked Rory watching him warily

"Don't you know how long I've waited for this?" asked Tristan hysterically

"Since we were sixteen Rory! Sixteen!" he yelled

Rory looked away anxiously

"And you know what?"

"What?" asked Rory biting her lip

"I love you for it" said Tristan taking her chin in his fingers and kissing her with passion

"Wow" said Rory breathlessly when they finally broke apart

"It's been a long time coming" said Tristan ruefully before leaning in again

"Wait" said Rory putting a hand against his chest to stop him from reaching her lips

"What now?" cried Tristan desperately

"Look" she said smiling at him

Around them the snow was falling

"Perfect" said Rory staring at the snow

"The Lorelai Gilmore seal of approval" said Tristan taking her hand and leading her up onto the porch

"I love you Mary" he said leaning in

"Together forever?" asked Rory

"A man in his Mary" replied Tristan wrapping his arms around her and kissing her senseless before she could stop him

*********************************************************************

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

He caught her in his arms, there was a spark

They both knew what it could be like

He knew what perfect really was

They were so blind even Luke could see it

But a glimpse of true love

And an ill-fated night

Brought them together

They lived

They loved

Together forever

A man and his Mary

Hehehehehehehe I never said Tristan was slamming on his breaks to stop from hitting Rory now did I? BUT U ALLL FELL FOR IT!!! I'm so good

I hope you all enjoyed that fic as much as I did

TRORY FOREVER
