Being Alone.

What if naked guy outside Rory's room was none other than Tristan?? TRORY

Disclaimer: I do not own the Gilmore Girls show, or the people on it... trust me there would be a lot more Tristan if I did :) I don't own Disney movies (well, maybe on VHS) but I love them so you might find some quotes in this.

Author's Note: OK... I'm pretty sure I've bumped into this idea before... at least once, but I can't remember the actual story, so I'm just gonna say I'm sorry to whoever wrote it if mine happens to be like yours. I would also like to warn you that this is my first fan-fic ever. Enjoy!

Paring: Rory/Tristan

She was different but still the same. Her hair was shorter and she looked more matured; her childlike innocence was still there though.

He remembered her at Chilton, the last time he saw her. He would have kissed her back then but stupid bagboy was looking. Inevitably, he remembered another time involving the three of them. That fateful day he heard her say she hated him, the day his life came tumbling down. After that, everything had gone from bad to worst.

Sometimes when things got really hard he would blame her. Blame her for hanging out with Duncan and Bowman. For that stupid prank. For being shipped off to military school. For being so miserable. He used to be fine, he was the king of Chilton, he was exactly what he had to be. But then he would remember it was all a lie. She was the only good thing that had happened to him.

He had known for a while that he didn't want to be what he HAD to be. Rory showed him he could be whatever he wanted. And then military school. It sucked granted, but it gave him the opportunity to get to know himself. Discover what he wanted, and make some real friends, you know, the ones that care about you and wish you well. He hadn't change his players ways though... you can only ask so much of a guy. He did minimize them. He even tried to make some of them work as relationships, but it was useless. Not with Rory still in his head.... in his heart.

And here she was again, back into his life. He was completely clueless on what to do now, but we was certain of one thing... whatever it took to keep her in his life he would do.

Rory woke up to the smell of coffee. Somewhere, out in the hall, someone was drinking coffee, hot, black coffee... Being that she wouldn´t go back to sleep now, she was craving; she decided to get out of bed. The moment she open the door she was hit by the strong smell of coffee, and a familiar cologne.

"Tristan." She said looking to his hand, for he was the holder of such coffee.

"Hello Mary." She liked her bottom lip. "Mary??" He realize she hadn´t looked at his face yet, her eyes were still fixed on the coffee. He moved the cup from side two side, amaze to see her following it with her eyes. "Would you like some coffee?" He said finally giving her the cup. She took it and in less time that it took him to blink the cup was empty.

"Thank you." She said looking at him for the first time.

"Mary, your addiction to coffee is impressive. I doubt you heard a word I said while I had that cup in my hand."

"That´s because I know what´s important in life. May I ask what are you doing here?"

"Oh, right. I brought you your robe back." He said handing it to her. "And coffee..."

"Token of peace?"

"Thank you gift" Neither of them knew what else to say after that. It was not that they had nothing to talk about... but where to start? A couple of minutes went by before they both said...

"So..." They laughed.

"Woman first." Said Tristan trying to be polite.

"Oh... by all means, ignore protocol." she said in response.

"I should go to class. Being late on the first weeks is not the right way to start."

"True. I should go get at least two more coffees if I intend to survive the morning." She said absently and he laugh.

"And what are you laughing about?" She asked pretending to be hurt.

"Like I said, your coffee addiction is impressive."

"Thank you." She replied almost proud of herself. Again, silence.

"Anyways." He said not really wanting to leave just yet.

"Yeah... I, I guess I´ll see you around?" She said as she started to walk to the coffee shop.

"Yeah." He turned and headed to class. He had taken a couple of steps when she said "It was nice seeing you again Tris." A smile forming in her lips.

"You too Mary" He replied "you too..." He said again to himself and walked away.
