Rory and Jess stumbled drunkly into the motel room, laughing. They had been talking and just listening to music all night. It was nearly midnight, but neither of them noticed. Rory hadn't drunk as much as Jess; she was merely tipsy whereas Jess was certainly drunk. They crashed down onto the bed, still laughing.
"My life; you electrify my life; Let's conspire to ignite; all the souls that would die just to feel alive…" Jess sang the song at the top of his lungs as Rory laughed. "I'll never let you go; if you promise not to fade away; Never fade away" After that he decided to stop singing. He couldn't really remember the rest of the lyrics anyway. Rory smiled at him.
"What song was that anyway?" She asked him softly. Jess smiled at her.
"Starlight by: Muse" He said with a smile. He laid back onto the bed. "That song is my song for you, maybe. I don't know I might change my mind later…" He trailed off and they sat in a comfortable silence. After awhile Jess sat up.
"I feel weird…" He stated, placing his hand on his chest. Rory nodded looking at him.
"You're drunk." She said knowingly. She noticed that her buzz had worn off. Jess was fun when he was drunk; she made a mental note of that.
"I've never been drunk before…." Jess said nonchalantly, still wearing that small smile on his face.
"I don't believe that." Rory scoffed. Jess shrugged.
"That's your right I guess…" He said carefully. He stood up and took off his shirt. Rory watched him surprised.
"Jess? What are you doing?" She asked him timidly. She had then seriously hoped that 'fun drunk Jess' wouldn't turn into anything bad. She had heard of drunken men abusing and raping without even realizing what they've done.
"I'm tired. I'm getting ready for bed." He spoke indifferently and Rory let out a sigh of relief. She watched as Jess toyed around with his jeans. She stood up in front of him.
"Here, let me help you…" Rory said quietly. She unbuttoned and unzipped his jeans for him. Jess slid them off. She suddenly looked at him, really looked at him. He was so built for being so thin. No wonder he was always beating kids up in high school…he was strong.
"Thanks…" He said as he crawled into bed. Rory changed out of her clothes and into a pair of pants and one of Jess's t-shirts. She smiled when she glanced over at the bed and saw him sleeping.
"Rory?" Jess mumbled peacefully. "Stay with me…" He drifted back to sleep before Rory could even answer. She crawled into bed beside him and smiled, kissing his cheek softly.
"I love you…" She spoke the three words, knowing that Jess was already fast asleep. She knew that she could go on like this forever. Being with him all the time sounded perfect to her…just perfect. She dozed off to sleep.

The morning sun peaked through the window, undeniably waking up Jess. He opened his eyes and let out a groan. He immeadiatly put his hand on his head in hopes to stop the throbbing headache. He pulled the blankets back and realized he was in his boxers. Sure, at home that's how he slept, but with Rory right beside him? He looked over at Rory. He saw that she was wearing his shirt. "What happened last night?" He mused aloud to nobody in particular.
Rory had woken up when she heard Jess groan. She realized that his hangover officially started now. According to Jess, last night was the first time he'd ever been drunk. If that was true, he was in for a long day of being hung over. Rory remembered the feeling and shuddered. When she heard Jess ask the question she decided to answer.
"You got drunk." She said bluntly. Jess let out another groan.
"I've never been drunk. I drink, yeah, but drunk…?" He trailed off shaking his head slightly. Rory nodded.
"Yeah it's okay I got you safely into bed." She didn't notice but she must have been speaking emotionlessly because Jess sat up, getting worried.
"I didn't hurt you did I? I mean I don't remember much but I didn't…I didn't…" He trailed off. Rory looked at him curiously.
"You didn't what?" Rory asked him, sitting up to meet his gaze.
"I didn't…" Jess had a panicked tone to his voice. "I didn't force you to do anything, did I?" He had put emphasis on the word 'force' He talked as if he were disgusted with himself. Rory shook her head.
"Of course not…" Rory said softly. She rested her hand on his chest and leaned in to kiss him. He kissed her back loving. When they pulled away he smiled and got up.
Rory watched him as he wandered aimlessly around the room. Rory laughed when he finally found the Asprin. She watched him take two. He returned to his spot next to her and smiled tenderly. She leaned in and kissed him again. This time, when he moved to deepen it, Rory let him. She kissed him deeply until he broke away to kissed her neck.
"Jess," Rory spoke softly, enjoying every moment of what was going on.
"Hmm?" Jess asked almost inaudibly before he began sucking on her neck slightly. She let a moan escape her mouth, much to Jess's delight. She pushed up on Jess' chin so that he was looking at her. She gave him a soft smile and he returned it with a happy grin.
"I need to ask you a question," She stated uncertainly. Jess nodded for her to continue. She took a deep breath and decided to ask the question that had been in her mind since she had gotten into the car with him, "Are we ever going back home? To Stars Hollow?"
