IMPORTANT AN: Hey guys thanks so much for all the reviews again, I received many concerns/questions/comments about the pairing. I've come to the conclusion that this story will become a Trory with scenes of Rogan thrown in here and there. I know that this series began as a Rogan, and it's what gave me the amazing supportive fan base that I have now, but I can't continue writing for a pairing that I'm no longer passionate for, it's not my thing to force a writing style on myself and spit out chapters that aren't me. Regardless, I'd like to thank all my fans that have stuck with me thus far.

I know I may lose some fans, and may gain some more. But I am grateful for all of your wonderful support despite what you may decide. This story will not solely be based on the pairing as Three Cheers was, it's more about the group finding themselves and each other again. That doesn't mean there won't be some naughty scenes between several pairings through.

So for those of you who decide this story's no longer for you, thank you for all of your support and I'm sorry I'm sure there are plenty of other great Rogans out there for you. And for those of you who stay thank you for keeping your mind open, I hope I won't disappoint. :)

"I'm going to miss you so much Finn," Rory mumbled into his chest as she hugged him tightly around the waist.

Finn chuckled holding onto her just as tight. "I'll miss you too love, but you don't have to be a stranger," he said looking down at her.

Rory nodded against his chest. "Tell Stephanie she should be expecting a call from me soon," she said pulling away and looking him in the eyes. He winked and gave her a peck on the lips. "I knew you'd come around doll." he said before untangling himself from Rory and picking up his luggage. "I'd better get downstairs so mates can bring me to the airport."

Rory smiled wistfully. "Finn…" she said before he walked out the door. He turned to look at her questioningly. "Thank you… your visit… it…" Rory stuttered at a loss of words on how to truly explain how much Finn had really done for her.

"I knew one day I'd leave you speechless kitten," he said with a wink before closing the door behind him. Rory just shook her head smiling before getting ready to go to her class.

"Everything ready dude?" Matt asked opening the door to let Finn in.

Finn nodded, "Would you be dolls and take my bags to my car?" Finn asked batting his eye lashes at him and Austin who looked at him disgusted.

"Please mates?" he begged again throwing an arm around each of them and giving them a kiss on the cheeks. Both quickly jumped away and wiped their cheeks off with disgusted expressions.

"Anything to avoid that shit," Austin replied quickly grabbing one of Finn's bags. Matt nodded in agreement before disappearing with Finn's duffle.

Finn chuckled as Tristan came out of the bathroom. Tristan looked up confused. "Where'd everyone go?" he asked greeting Finn.

"I wanted to be alone with you so I could have a naughty with you, continue where we left off last night mate," Finn said with a wink before helping himself to some vodka. Tristan rolled his eyes, not even taken aback by Finn's demeanor.

"Finn seriously?" Tristan asked motioning to his glass half full of the clear liquid. "It's ten o'clock in the morning!"

Finn frowned and pulled a gallon of orange juice out of the fridge, putting a splash of the orange liquid into his glass, turning his beverage a pale yellow. "Happy?" Finn asked before downing it. Tristan laughed.

"Where's Rory?" Tristan asked Finn while checking his appearance in the mirror.

"She has class today mate," Finn replied.

"Oh yeah, I forgot," Tristan replied as Finn eyed him knowingly.

"Are you going to tell her mate?" Finn asked.

"Tell who what?" Tristan asked turning around to face Finn with a confused expression.

Finn sighed. "Don't make this difficult mate are you going to tell Rory you love her?"

Tristan's eyes shot up from his watch quickly. "What?"

Finn ran a hand through his unruly hair and cursed himself for bringing it up. He thought that when Austin and Tristan had begun acting like things were okay between them, the fact that Tristan was in love with Rory was no longer such a taboo topic. Apparently, he was mistaken.

"Mate… you're in love with Rory," Finn stated simply. "Are you going to let her know or just keep ogling her from afar?"

"I have not been ogling her," Tristan glared. At least not purposely.

Finn put his hands up feigning innocence. "Mate, I don't know what I've missed the past couple months, or in the past couple years but as soon as I walked into that apartment with Rory on my shoulder I could practically taste the tension that you two had going on in that apartment. At first I was worried because I wasn't sure if you just wanted bone her, but then I saw the way you looked at her mate…"

"I…" Tristan attempted but Finn continued.

"If anyone can pick her up and really bring her back to who she used to be it's going to be you. I might have broken down the Berlin wall, but there's still a Red Scare mate," Finn said. Leave it to him to relate Rory and Tristan to irrelevant World History.

"She's my best friend Finn. I can't get into that. And she still loves Logan," Tristan said strained.

Finn shook his head, "I hate to say it mate, but Logan doesn't deserve her. Not after her broke her, if he's willing to make it up to her then maybe eventually he will. But you were there for her forever, when no one else was. You deserve her more than any guy out there."

Tristan closed his eyes in frustration. "She doesn't want me Finn."

"Mate you claim to know her so well, but you can't see that she not only wants you but needs you too?" he asked incredulously. "The way you look at her, it's the same way she looks at you. I'm not telling you to tap that ASAP, I'm just saying… people deserve a 2nd chance. Austin's had his, and Logan's had his, so unless Matt wants to hop on the Rory train I think it's about your turn."

Tristan didn't have anything to say because secretly he hoped that Finn was right. "We'd better get going," he mumbled.

Finn nodded throwing an arm around his friend. "Gonna miss me?" he said with a smirk.

Tristan laughed while punching him in the arm. "So much," he replied sarcastically.

Rory walked into her apartment from her afternoon class and was greeted by a delicious smell at the door. "Tristan?" she asked hanging up her coat and walking towards the dining area.

"Hey Pinky!" he said over a mess of pots and pans he was working on at the stove.

"Got a hot date Trissy?" Rory asked eyeing the delicious food he was preparing.

"Yeah hot brunette, blue eyes, long legs, nice ra-"

"Finish that sentence and I'm smacking you," Rory said with a playful glare. Tristan chuckled and left the stove momentarily to greet Rory with a hug and a kiss on the cheek before returning to his task.

"So what's the attire for this said date?" Rory asked squinting as she tried to evaluate the answer from Tristan's attire. He was in a dark washed jeans and a well fitting forest green thermal rolled up to his sleeves. Rory allowed her eyes to linger on his back muscles a while longer.

"Anything you're comfortable in Rory," he said turning around to find Rory staring farther down than need be. Rory quickly turned her head and blushed furiously. Tristan couldn't help but smirk at her reaction.

"See something you like?" he asked coming up next to her as she avoided his gaze. She blushed deeper causing him to chuckle.

"You're allowed to touch you know, it's like a room mate privilege," he quipped invading her personal space.

Rory's eyes went up to meet his in a glare, but smile quickly changed to a smirk. "You know what I'd actually really love Tristan?" she asked roaming a finger down his front side, between his abs making his shiver under her touch.

"Wha?" he asked with a sharp intake of breath. Okay, this was not how it was supposed to go.

"I'd like you…" Rory started getting on his tippy toes and bringing her mouth to his ear, "To..," she continued bringing her other hand to the back of his neck to play with his little hairs here. "Finish up my dinner. Cause I'm starving!" she exclaimed as giggles took over her as she scampered to her room, her pace full of self satisfaction.

Tristan glared at her, "You'll be lucky if I don't spit in it now Hayden!" he yelled at her before shaking his head with a smile. It was good to have her back. Yet so sexually frustrating. No, I didn't just think that.

Rory stared at her walk in closet blankly, messing with Tristan was fun, but now she was left at a loss on what to wear and actually feeling a little nervous. She gulped at that thought. Her and Tristan had been friends since they were kids, so why exactly was she having these unreasonable feelings now. Shaking her head at herself she quickly pushed those thoughts from her mind and opted for a nice pair of skinny jeans and an off shoulder black sweater, throwing her hair up in a messy bun and putting on her fuzzy slippers.

She returned to the dining room to see Tristan was shutting off the burners and getting ready to plate. "What you make?" Rory asked grabbing a couple placemats and utensils and setting the table.

"Stuffed fillet mignon with a side of homemade macaroni and cheese and twice baked potatoes," Tristan said pulling a pan out of the oven.

Rory's eyes got big at the delicious sight of food. "You truly know the way to a Gilmore Girl's heart."

"Well I would hope so, I've been dealing with them all my life," Tristan laughed as he set a plate down for him and Rory.

"So what's the occasion?" Rory asked taking a seat close to Tristan at the round glass table.

Tristan smiled and took her hand, "Because you're back," he replied before the two easily slipped into conversation and enjoyed their dinner for two.

They had basically gone through everything from the past two years as if they hadn't seen each other every day. The minute details know, not the ones that were hard to talk about and hard to listen to. They were so far avoiding the topic of Rory's promiscuous behavior, and the numerous fights the two had because of it. They grazed over Tristan's painful struggles of trying to get Rory back, and the nights where he felt just as alone as her because he too was missing a piece of him because his best friend wasn't there. But there was only so much they could do to avoid the topic.

Surprisingly, it was Rory who decided to delve into it. "Tristan… can you tell me who I was these past two years? I know I wasn't me… but I want to know who I was to you."

You were still everything. Tristan sighed.

"Home sweet home!" Finn proclaimed dropping his luggage on the floor before stripping himself down to his boxers before heading straight to the kitchen to pour himself some of his heavenly liquid, totally ignoring Colin, Logan, Stephanie and Lexy staring at him in disbelief.

"Miss me mates, kittens?" he asked appearing with a glass of a brown looking liquid in his hand. He was answered with silence.

"What?" he asked as they just continued to squint at him in a 'what the fuck' manner.

"Don't you think we deserve somewhat of an explanation as to what the fuck was going through your head when you decided to disappear and not tell us and you somehow end up in Boston with four people who you have barely heard from in the past couple months?!" Lexy said with increasing volume.

Finn winced, "Kitten keep the voice down until I get this alcohol in my system."

"Finn, answer her," Colin said seriously. Finn sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"I was tired of hearing you guys complain about the Rory and Logan crap," he said noticing Logan's eyes leave the floor to glare at Finn. "And tired of hearing love not being herself. I just needed to do something because it wasn't right."

"We could've come with you," Stephanie reasoned, "I would have wanted to."

"And done what doll? Asked her how she's feeling? Made her talk about what's been going on? Because that's the exact opposite of what she wanted. She didn't want to 'talk about it' doll, she just wanted to feel herself again at any cost."

Stephanie frowned, knowing well that if she had gone to see Rory she would've done exactly what Finn had said.

"I managed to get her back. She's happy again… for once," he said looking pointedly at Logan. "Give her time… let Tristan fix her."

Logan scoffed. "Fix her… by what sleeping with her? Is that what's supposed to fix my Ac-… her? Is the way to fix her? From in between her legs?"

"Well mate has that fixed you? Getting in between all your little flavors legs?" Finn asked innocently enough.

"Shut the fuck up Finn," Logan snapped back.

"Huntz," Colin scolded.

"Eh mate's just got his panties in a twist, don't baby him Colin," Finn simply stated. "He's just jealous of everyone that comes in contact with Rory because he doesn't have the balls to do it himself."

"Finn…" Lexy scolded. "Yes love?" he asked her with a big grin. When Lexy just glared he shrugged. "Are we done with this family meeting? Finn has some LDB business to go about," he said.

"What do you have to do for the LDB?" Logan asked confused but in still a harsh tone, after all he was hailed in as the Assistant Event Coordinator of the LDB as a freshman coming into Yale, one of the first freshmen in the history of the Society to reach such a high rank in his first year of college due to his legacy blood line. If Finn had anything to do, he thought he would know what it was.

"Max wants me to dig up some info on some of the other Societies we'll be going on retreat with over the summer," he said referring to the standing on campus President of the Life and Death Brigade.

"Well see you mates, loves," Finn said with a wink to Lexy before saluting his way out of the room. "Don't end up in another state again!" she scolded.

"Soo…." Stephanie said awkwardly. Logan just shook his head and left, most likely bound for the pub.

Rory almost laughed at how ridiculous she must have been for the past two years. "I can't believe I was that…"

"Emotionless? Stone hearted? Cold?" Tristan asked with a smirk.

"That's enough examples thanks," Rory said glaring playfully. "I mean, I can't believe I let myself sink that deep because of him."

"He wasn't worth it Rory and it just bothers me so much to think about how much he changed you without even knowing it."

Rory smiled at Tristan's concern that he had for her and undoubtedly would continue to have for her as she reached over the table to place her hand on his while he instinctively intertwined their fingers.

"I know that now Tristan," she admitted. But it didn't make up for all of the actions from her past that Tristan had no clue about.

But hey, it's a start.
