Tristan and Rory didn't talk much on the way back to his house, he drove quickly, gripping the steering wheel tightly, in concentration.
He could of killed him, when he saw that bruise on her arm, he could have killed him, he might have too, if Rory hadn't said something.
Tristan led Rory to his room and closed the door behind them to have privacy from the help, his parents weren't in the country, imagine that.
"You should um, probably call your Mom, I have to go call my Grandfather quick." Tristan said quietly, not meeting her eye, leaving the room.
Rory sighed and picked up her phone, dialing her Mom's number.
"Rory!" Lorelai immediately said.
"Yea, Mom, it's me."
"Oh my god! Are you okay!" Lorelai immediately said.
"I'm fine."
"Good then, I get to tell you, You really are my daughter, putting up a scene like that, of course mine was a little different, being pregnant and all, but still! You made a scene!" Lorelai rambled.
"Mom, what happened after?"
"Well, it was awesome Richard went crazy screaming at John's father, saying how he hurt you and that he would press charges, it was cool." Lorelai said smirking.
"Mom...are you?" Referring to pressing charges.
Lorelai sighed. "We'll talk about it when you get home, okay? Just be with Tristan tonight." Lorelai told her.
"Okay, Love you."
"Love you too."
"Bye." Rory said hanging up.
Rory sighed and laid back on Tristan's bed, waiting for him to get back, she didn't have to wait long.
He entered, having discarded his tie and jacket, and had undone the top buttons of his shirt, his hair more ruffled than often.
He was silent, just looked at Rory.
"Tris?" Seemed to awake him from his thoughts.
"What's wrong?" She asked him.
Tristan sighed and went over to her, pulling her up and just held her.
"I'm sorry." He whispered.
"Tristan I'm not mad that you hit him-
"No, I'm sorry that I let him hurt you agian. This was a stupid idea, we should have just come out and told everyone, and you wouldn't be hurt agian." Tristan said backing up and running a hand through this hair.
"It's not your fault! It's his!" Rory yelled frustrated.
"It shouldn't have happened!"
"No, it shouldn't have, but it isn't your fault! You're not my keeper!"
"I just hate to see you hurt." Tristan said quieting.
"I know you do."
They stood in silence for a minute, neither saying anything, just staring at each other.
"Do you want some clothes to change into?" Tristan asked, knowing she couldn't be all that comfortable in her dress.
"Thanks, that would be great."
Tristan got clothes out of his dresser, he had a wife beater and boxers.
She took them and changed, when she was done she turned around and giggled at the fact that Tristan had been watching her intently.
She walked over and wrapped her arms around him.
"I love you, ya know." She told him.
"I know, I love you too."
"I know you do."

Rory and Tristan had spend the last hour laying on his arm in each other's arms, just talking, just being with each other.
"When did you know that you first loved me?" Rory asked him.
"That was random." Tristan laughed.
"Just answer the question." Rory said smiling.
"Well, it would've had to be at Madeleine's party, in the piano room." Tristan said smiling at the memory.
"The first time we kissed?" Rory asked.
"No."
"No?"
"No, it was before that, when you first came in and you were acting all nice when I didn't deserve it...the kiss was just an extra bonus." Tristan winked, making Rory laugh.
"What about you, it's your turn."
"The first time I kissed Dean after our breakup." Rory told him (A/N: I couldn't but the Night of Runaway Little boy...this is more original, right?)
"You mean we broke up?" Tristan asked her, completely lost.
"No, when Dean and I broke up, after you asked me to the PJ Harvey concert, when I kissed him, I couldn't get my mind off you. But I still ignored it, I was an idiot."
"Yes, you were." Tristan said smirking, laughing when Rory hit him, face shocked.
"Tristan!"
"Don't worry, now that you're with me makes up for it." Resulting in another slap.
"Jerk." Rory muttered, crossing her arms, and pouting.
"You love me."
"Nope."
Tristan smirked and captured her lips in a slow sensual kiss.
"Well?" He asked, when they pulled apart.
"Maybe a little." Rory whispered, her eyes still closed, her voice quavering.
"Are you sure just a little, you're sound a little hoarse there, babe." Tristan smirked.
"Shut up." She leaned over and captured his lips agian, this time it was much more passionate and forceful.
He quickly responded, sliding so she was underneath him, when the kiss got as passionate as they go, he stopped and looked down at her.
"Rory, are you sure you want to, tonight?" He asked.
"Shut up and kiss me." Rory said smirking.
He immediately leant down to kiss her, drawing an arm around her to draw her closer to him, she smiled against the kissed and slowly unbuttoned his shirt, once it was off, running her hands over his toned abs, causing him to moan softly.
He in return, pulled off her, or rather his, shirt and his kisses traveled down to her belly, then going back up to her mouth, sliding off the boxers, while she undid his pants and pulled downs his boxers.
Before entering her, he leaned down, so his mouth was by hear ear, and whispered, "I love you." They worked together, both reaching their points, crying out.
They laid there in each other's arms, staring into each other's eyes.
"I love you too." Rory answered, smiling.
Tristan kissed her softly and tucked the piece of hair that was sticking to her face from the sweat, behind her ear.
"Guess what?" Rory said smirking, a second later.
"What..?" Tristan asked cautiously.
"I'm hungry!" Rory announced, getting up and throwing on her panties and his dress shirt, and pulling Tristan, who was clad in his pants, out of the room and down the hallway.
She stopped suddenly, and looked around.
"Where's the kitchen?" She asked him, causing him to laugh and pull her to the opposite end of the hallway.

"So, what are you making me?" Rory asked him, smiling widely, jumping op on the counter to watch him.
"Well, what do you want...besides coffee."
"Hmm...how about Mac and cheese?" Rory asked.
Tristan soon was cooking them Mac and Cheese, having found a box in the cupboard, when he served it to them, she looked down at it not eating it right away.
"Something wrong?" Tristan asked amused.
"Are you sure you've cooked before?" Rory asked suspiciously.
"Maybe I imagined the other times."
"Really?"
"No." Tristan looked at her with a 'obviously' expression, and started to eat his own food. Seeing that he didn't die or anything when he ate it, she cautiously started to eat hers and was shocked on how good it was. The whole box was soon gone.
"That was really, really good." Rory stated, putting her dish in the sink with Tristan's and started to wash them.
"You're that surprised?" Tristan asked, coming up from behind her and wrapping his arms around her.
"Yes." She stated bluntly, smirking at his pouting expression.
"That hurts, you'll have to make it up to me." Tristan whispered suggestively in her ear, his hand traveling up her thigh.
"Cool down Bible Boy." Rory teased, taking the wet sponge and hitting him in the face with it, causing him to look at her surprised. She grinned quickly and took off, upstairs, Tristan chasing after her.

Tristan suddenly woke later that night, a sleeping Rory nestled in his arms. After he had caught her, they soon fell asleep.
He wasn't sure what had woken him up, until he heard it again.
A loud creak downstairs on the main floor. When he was a child, he had grown to know the sound of that creak, it told him that his father was coming home at night, and he had to pretend that he was asleep.
He picked up Rory, who stirred only slightly, and put her on the couch had in his room, the back of it facing the door. He grabbed something out of the top drawer of his dresser, and turned off the light on his dresser that had been left on when they had fallen asleep, and stood by the doorway.
He was silent, while he heard someone come up the stairs and down the hallway, coming closer to his bedroom, all the while praying that Rory wouldn't wake up.
He was still when his door opened, it wasn't until the intruder had walked fully into the room he jumped out from behind the now opened door and his fist connected with the side of the intruder's face.
The person immediately fought back, punching Tristan in the face, they fought a little longer until Tristan got a good solid punch in the face and went down. He moaned and tried to keep his consciousness, while watching the intruder, who was no longer paying attention to him, but closer to the couch.
Shit, Rory had woken up during the fight and was now staring at them, petrified, while the Intruder came closer toward her.
Tristan gathered all the strength he had in him and got up, grabbing the guy's arm and pulling him around again, punching him, Rory got up quickly and ran for the light, and turned it on, and that's when they got a good look at the intruder's face.
"John!" Rory yelled.
John took advantage of Tristan's hesitation and punched him hard, Tristan went down.
He could only watch as John came nearer to him and aimed a gun at his head.
"Tristan!" Rory yelled, tears streaming down her face, not knowing what to do.
"Told you this would happen. No one punches me like that and get's away wit hit. No steals my property away from me and gets away with it also." John said, chuckling evilly, and cocked the gun.
"See Rory, this is all your fault that you boyfriend has to-
But, John didn't get to finish his sentence, for he made on huge mistake, he took his eyes off his target.
Tristan took this moment and used it to his advantage.
He grabbed the knife that he had put in his pocket and cut John's forearm that was holding the gun, causing John to drop the gun in pain and grab his arm.
Tristan quickly jumped to his feet and punched John with all his strength. When he fell, he punched him agian, causing him to pass out.
"Tristan!" Rory cried, sobbing. Tristan quickly ran over to her and wrapped her into a hug.
"It's over Rory. I promise you." Tristan said, knowing that finally, it was over.

Hours later, when the police had left, it was just Lorelai, Rory, Janlan, Luke, and Tristan in the dining room, having some coffee.
Lorelai had engulfed Tristan in many emotional hugs, thanking for saving Rory. Which he was very embarrassed when they called him a hero.
"Well, we should be going." Lorelai said, looking at Rory.
Inwardly, Tristan was quickly saddened, he didn't want to be alone, let alone be away from Rory.
"I completely agree, this kids have a eventful night, they need to rest." Janlan concurred.
They got up and Tristan got up to follow them to the door.
When they were walking out the door, Lorelai turned around to Tristan.
"You coming?" She asked him.
"What?" He asked confused.
"What, did you think I was gonna leave you here? Come on, we have a comfortable couch." Lorelai said smiling warmly at him.
Tristan hugged her and shut and locked the door behind them.
Rory brightened at the sight of him coming outside, and started toward his car with him.
"Lorelai! You're gonna let her go in his car?" Luke asked.
"Why not? What Luke, do you not trust him now?" Lorelai asked, rolling her eyes, after what happened that night, she was thinking maybe Rory was safer with Tristan than she was with her.
"Fine. But, you better right behind us." Luke warned Tristan, who just smiled innocently and got into his car with Rory.

Tristan and Rory were about five minutes outside Stars Hollow when Tristan pulled the car over to the side of the car.
Rory met him halfway kissing him hungrily, wanting to do what they desperately wanted since early that morning.
"I love you Tristan." Rory mumbled between kisses.
"Are you okay?" Tristan asked once they stopped kissing, asking her what he already had fifteen times.
"I'm fine, you're the one that fought him, are you okay, did he hurt you?" Rory asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, don't worry. Just tired, we should probably start driving again, plus, I have a feeling that Luke will be waiting for me." Tristan chuckled.
Rory smiled and sat back in her seat, locking her seat belt again, when he started driving again, while he grabbed her hand and brought it up to his mouth and kissed it.

Tristan woke up early that morning, he had something he had to do before Rory was awake.
He went to his house quickly and showered, grabbing some new clothes and his wallet, all of which he had left last night, thinking he wouldn't need them.
He was mistaken.
He was back at the Gilmore house in time just to meet Lorelai leaving the house, telling him and Rory to join her at Luke's later, which he promised they would.
He sighed deeply before going into Rory's room.
He was nervous.
He couldn't believe he was going to do this.
He sat down on Rory's bed and smirked down at her.
"How long have you been awake?" He asked her, knowing she was actually awake, not asleep, like she was faking.
"Not long, how do you always know I'm faking?" She pouted, making her look so cute that he had to kiss her softly on the lips.
"Morning."
"Mornin' how long have you been up? Did you go to your house? You should have woken me up, I would-
Tristan cut her off and gave her a nervous smile.
"Well, I had to get this." Tristan said, opening the ring box and showing it to Rory, who shot up in bed quickly and looked at him wide-eyed.
"It's not what you think, well, not really. This is a Promise Ring. It means that one day, I will substitute that ring with a Engagement Ring, when we're both ready. Rory last night before I fell asleep I thought of what could have happened last night, and I couldn't think of life without you, ever. I love you more than I ever thought it was possible to love someone, I want to spend the rest of my life with you." Tristan told her.
By the time he had stopped talking she was crying softly and threw her arms around his neck, kissing him passionately.
"Is that a yes, you'll were the ring?" He asked, already knowing the answer.
"Yes! Yes, Yes!" Rory said happily, smiling and crying tears of happiness while he put the beautiful diamond ring on her ring finger.
"I love you." She told him between kisses.
"Okay, now go get dressed, because I know you're dying to tell your Mom." Tristan said smirking knowingly.
"Now I love you even more!" Rory joked, jumping up and quickly getting dressed.
Tristan watched the love of his life get dressed, quickly, all of a sudden she stopped.
"Tristan, are you sure you want to marry me?" Rory asked, a worried expression coming over her face and she bit her bottom lip.
Tristan got up and kissed her. "More sure of anything else in the world." He whispered.
"What about colleges? What if we grow apart?" She asked worriedly.
"We survived a crazy attemptive -killer...I think we'll be able to survive College." Tristan joked, kissing her to silence all her other doubts.
And it was clear to Rory...they would be together forever.
