Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore Girls
"Love, it's all right. He's gone." He just rubbed her back and whispered comforting words into her ear.
In spite of what just happened, Lorelei couldn't help but smile at Finn.
It had been a week since the incident with Logan. Rory had gone out into town for the first time today and sure enough, Mrs. Patty was there to 'comfort' her. Finn had been staying at the Gilmore house the entire time. Everybody loved him and treated him like he had always been there. He and Rory had fallen back into their friendship. At the moment it is Sunday night and Rory, Lorelei, and Finn, had just finished watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
"Man, those Oompa Loompas never get old" Lorelei happily stated.
"Mom has a thing for the Oompa Loompas."
"What? I do not!"
"Ah, I see." Finn said ignoring Lorelei's protests.
"Well, thanks for taking my side! What good are you if you don't even agree with me?" Lorelei jokingly agrued. When he didn't answer she just shrugged it off and continued to talk. "Well, I'm going to get some coffee and go to bed." With that she walked into the kitchen and got some coffee, coming out moments later. "Night guys!" She said heading up the stairs.
"Night" Rory called after her and turned back to Finn.
"So, did you like the movie?"
"Yes, I did. But, I have seen it before."
"But, not the Gilmore way!"
"Very true!"
"Hm...so what do you want to do?"
"I don't know. What would you like to do?"
"Um...let's...play...truth or dare!"
"Um...ok, Love. Would you like to go first or shall I?"
"I'll go first! Truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"Ok, go get me coffee!"
"What? Um..ok" He got up and got some coffee for her and some for him and sat back down. "Here you go. Now, Love, truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"I dare you to...go into the kitchen and dump out your coffee, with out even taking a sip."
"What? You'd deny me the nectar of the gods?"
"Yes I would! Now, do as I say!" Finn and Rory walked into the kitchen. Finn laughed as Rory whimpered when she drained the coffee.
"Fine! Happy now? Ok truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"What's on your mind, right now?" Finn sighed at the comment.
"Well, I've been thinking that I've overstayed my welcome. Love, I don't want to be a burden. So, I think that I should leave soon." Finn looked back at Rory and noticed the tears welling in her eyes. "Love, don't be upset."
"Don't go." Finn wiped a tear off her cheek. "I need you here. Please don't go." She was starting to cry. Finn hugged her close to his chest and she soon fell asleep to the sound of his steady heart beat.
Rory woke up and practically jumped out of bed even though it was only 6:30. She was afraid that Finn had left. She ran into the kitchen and saw Finn drinking coffee and reading the New York Times. She stopped short when she noticed what he was wearing. He was only in his pajama bottems, and a robe was thrown across the back of the chair, giving her a look at his gorgeous abs. His hair was still messy and he had scruff from not shaving. She had to admit, he looked pretty sexy. 'Maybe I should wake up early more often.' Finn looked up from his paper and saw her standing there looking at him and smirked.
"Like what you see?" He didn't think that she would be up this early so he didn't bother getting ready. His smirk grew as her face turned bright red. She obviously hadn't known that he was watching her.
"I...um...good morning." She said stupidly. He was now smiling. 'God, he has an amazing smile.'
"Good morning, Love. Now, come here." He patted the seat next to him. " Now, will you tell me what was going on last night?"
"Oh, um...I-I don't know what I was saying. I was just..tired, I guess." She lied. She saw sadness flash across his eyes. He was a little dissapointed that she didn't really want him to stay.
"Oh, well I guess I'll leave tonight. I should get back to work."
"Yea, I guess ou should. I don't want to get you in trouble." She tried to hide her disappointment, but did a bad job of it.
"Love? Are you ok?" He had hardly gotten any sleep last night, because of this question. She had been crying over him leaving. But, why? Sure, they were friends, and this was one of the best weeks of his life, but he hadn't expected her to cry. He hated lieing to her. He didn't need to go to work. His father owned the company and he didn't need to be there most of the time. But, he felt that he was intruding on their lives. He looked over at Rory was thinking about his question with great strength. He couldn't help but think that she looked really cute when she was deep in thought. After a few moments, she sighed and turned to him.
"No." She simply stated. Finn looked bewildered, he hadn't expected that, but he kept quiet so she would continue. "Finn, when Logan and I broke up, you were there for me. You brought me to your apartment so that I wouldn't freeze. You got on in a fight with your best friend for me. You stayed at the hospital, even when you knew I was ok, even when my mom was there. You came here when I asked you to, no questions asked. And now, you have made this one of the best weeks of my life. I guess that I just don't want it to end. But, I guess it has to. You need to go back to work and I, well, I need to get on with my life. I should probably look for a job soon, and a new place to live." Finn was shocked by her honesty. He really hadn't expected her to be so honest. He figured that she would tell him that she was fine and leave him worrying that he screwed up their friendship. but, she hadn't, she told him everything that he wanted to hear.
"I'm sorry." He said.
"What? Why are you sorry?"
"I lied." He didn't want to, but he had to tell her. It was his turn to be honest. "I don't need to go back to work. I was afraid that you would get tired of me, and that if I stayed any longer, I would mess up our friendship. Also, I felt like I was intruding on your life. This has been one of the best weeks of my life too. I don't want it to end. I'm just afraid, I guess." When he looked back at her, he was surprised to see that she was smiling. "Why are you smiling?"
"Because of what you said. I could never become tired of you. So, what does this mean?"
"What?"
"Are you leaving?"
"Do you want me to?"
"No, I wish that you could stay here forever. But, that's really selfish of me. Especially considering the fact that you've been sleeping on the coucj for a week, and yu would much rather sleep in your own bed." Finn was thinking, she could tell by the adorable expression on his face."
"Well I, being the brilliant man I am, have an idea. Why don't you...come and live with me? It doesn't have to be for long, just until you find a job and a place to stay. It doesn't matter to me. But, I have an extra room that you can stay in. So, what do you think?"
"That sounds amazing! But, are you sure? I don't want to intrude."
"Yes, of course! Come stay with me! What do you say?"
"Ok. When should we leave?" Finn was smiling from ear to ear. He was so elated. Probably more than he should be. But, he didn't care. He was happy.
