Rory Gilmore

“Deal. Should we shake on it?” He joked, a soft chuckle following. Honestly, Dean couldn’t think of a better way to spend the day. Doing anything with Rory was just…better. They could be walking or even just sitting and he’d find it enjoyable. She just brought something out in him, a sense of happiness he didn’t know existed before. “I’ll be your personal quiz assistant, it’s a promise.”

“I have a better idea,” she smiled and went up on her toes for a quick kiss to seal the deal, a blush painting her cheeks as she pulled back and lowered herself down to her regular whole-foot-on-the-ground height. She smiled and took his hand in her, dragging him along towards Luke’s for much needed coffee.

"I guess this means that things are better."

"I'm better as a memory, than as your man"

"Life's like a novel with the end ripped out"

"When push comes to shove you taste what you're made off"

"You might bend till you break 'cause it's all you can take"

"If you're calling about the car I sold it."

"I bet you never guess who I saw tonight."

"It sure looked like you still wanted to be her man."

"I heard you tell her you still love her, so it doesn't matter what you say"

"Lately I've been running into our old friends. Somewhere in the small talk someone always asks where you've been."

"Let's say we're sorry before it's too late, give forgiveness a chance"

"We all say words we regret"

"I can't hug you on the phone, so hurry home."

"It's a funny thing, but now that you're gone I don't wish you were dead anymore."

"I don't wanna be anyone other than me."

"I'm begging of you please don't take my man."

"I guess I should have been more like her."

"Don't tell me I can make it on my own."

"I hope you're doing fine, I hope you've found the time, to chase that dream."

"Me? I'm doing good in the old neighborhood."

"Is it okay if I speak to you today?"

[text]I'm 99% sure I'm a wizard.

[text]Did you seriously just text me the entire lyrics to One Day More in morse code?

[text]I'm bored and you're not here to entertain me.

[text]I can't talk, I'm too busy being fabulous.

[text]I need your help. Show up outside my back door with a lava lamp, three green t-shirts, a blank paper and five coins exactly 2.24 am

[text]I lost the game.

[text]I have decided to quit school and become a dragon.

“We could always go to Luke’s for coffee and food or if you’re feeling adventurous go see a movie or take a walk?” He suggests, smiling a little in relief as she agrees. Not to mention it’s the perfect day for it considering he didn’t have to work. Why not make a day out of it? “And if you’re really determined on studying I could always help quiz you before I go home.”

“How about a compromise? Coffee, then a walk?” She doesn’t like walking, except with Dean it’s kind of nice. She likes just moving about with him, taking in the peacefulness of Stars Hollow, well as far as Stars Hollow can be called peaceful anyway. She’s pretty sure there’s no wild town hijinks going on right now though. 

“Maybe you should take a break then. I’m not saying like a permanent break or anything. But…Take a night off. You could do something you enjoy: watch a movie, read a book, just be. A little break never killed anyone.” He replied with a small smile. He knew how important school was to Rory but that didn’t mean he never worried that she was pushing herself too hard. “Besides, I don’t think Harvard is going anywhere in a day.”

Usually she would disagree, maybe even accuse him of not taking her school stuff seriously. She knew that would be unfair though, and he did have a point. She needed a break, and to just take a step back from it all for a moment. 

"Because-" she stops, making an exasperated gesture with her hands as she realizes she doesn't know what to say. "Because I-" Well, she knows what she should say, what she needs to say, but she can't. The words are right there, but she knows as soon as she says them it all comes tumbling down: The whole Huntzberger dynastic plan will crumble. "I'm just under a lot of stress right now."
