A little Christmas spirit, love and mischief

Ok so the American schooling system just isn't going to work so basically it's just before Christmas break plz ignore any references to finals and other such stuff lol

Rory sighed and twirled her shiny brown locks around her finger, realizing what she was doing she immediately stopped

Large crowds of students began to file into the Chilton auditorium

Onstage Paris barked out orders to the audio geeks setting up the sound system

Rory watched, mildly amused as Donnie a six foot senior with a headset cowered before the wrath of Paris

"Heellloooo" said Tristan with a come hither voice sliding into the seat beside Rory

"Evil-one" Rory acknowledged "Haven't seen much of you all week"

"Ahh yes our little bet I suppose you were expecting me to make a move?"

"Ladies first" Rory said

"Why thankyou" he replied

And so it began

It was an all day assembly one of those kind with lecturers from colleges and the heads of staff making speeches predicting Chilton's greatness reminding the students to not allow themselves to slacken over the holiday period blah blah blah

About as exciting as cleaning out a fish tank

Tristan began phase 1

Throughout the speech of Mr Robert Coleman the head of the maths department Tristan stared at Rory incessantly

Not a corner of your eye stare

No siree bob

This was a full blown body turned towards – head leaning on hand – minimal blinking stare

It was really awkward

During the speech Rory could feel Tristan's eyes boring into her, studying every inch of her face with an intense expression on his face

 Throughout the speech of Lynn Ford the dean of admissions for Stanford Tristan began to stroke Rory's silky hair

"Would you stop that!" she hissed as students behind them began to murmur

"Why?" Tristan asked as he played with the strands

Rory glared at him

Throughout the speech of Dr Giovanni Toska Tristan took Rory's hand firmly in his

He studied

He traced her fingers

He laced theirs together tightly

He blew on them softly before planting a kiss

Rory squirmed

Throughout the speech of Paris Gellar Tristan daringly traced Rory's knee with his fingertips

As much as Rory hated to admit it, it was really nice

You know the sorta nice she's thinking about

Those hormones hadn't been exercised in a while

The students began to clap loudly as Paris announced the lunch break in the foyer where sandwiches and refreshments would be provided

Rory turned to look beside her and realized Tristan was no longer there

Disappointed Rory allowed herself to be pulled along the wave of students making for the foyer

A hand came out of the crowd and gripped her arm pulling her into door

"Wha…."

Tristan's lips pushed Rory's firmly as he closed the door before pinning her against it

His hand cupped her face as she eagerly wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him as close as possible

His other hand pushed up her shirt to trace slowly over her hipbone

Rory felt herself shudder

Tristan finally broke away

Rory watched him, his lips were swollen, red his hair, more messy than usual

Completely Tristan

Completely irresistible

"I'll see you Christmas Eve" he said cockily sticking a hand in his pocket and exiting the closet as if he owned the world

Rory shut the door behind him and slumped against it

Nice one Rory

Lorelai sat huddled over her sewing machine surrounded by yards of red velvet and trails of fluffy white fake fur

"Costumes coming along well?" asked Rory walking into her mothers sewing room, large mug of coffee in hand

"Surprisingly well" said Lorelai taking the mug from Rory's hand

"Hey!"

"It was your bribing tool wasn't it?"

"Yeah" smiled Rory sheepishly

"So what do you want?" asked Lorelai knowingly

"I was hoping that this year maybe you wouldn't make my costume so embarrassing?" she asked hopefully

"Why?" she asked suspiciously

"Because we have company this year on Christmas Eve"

"Since when do you care what Stars Hollow thinks?"

"Not Stars Hollow, someone is coming to spend the day with us"

"Is this someone a boy?" asked Lorelai incredulously

"Yes"

"Awww! Rory wants to look nice for the boy!"

"So can I please just have a simple costume? No nutcracker, No turtle dove and no Rudolf"

"So Vixen then?" asked Lorelai brightly

"No Vixen or Prancer"

"Fine" said Lorelai

"Good" said Rory, satisfied

"So who's the boy?" asked Lorelai curiously

"Tristan"

"Really?"

"Yes really"

"Would this have anything to do with the fact that your lips are swollen and that you left the house with your hair in a ponytail this morning and now it's in a plait?"

Rory didn't say anything

"Did my baby make out in a closet!?" asked Lorelai excitedly

Rory nodded

"Was it a good closet?"

"The one near the auditorium" replied Rory quietly

"That is an exceptionally good closet" said Lorelai proudly giving her a hug
