1x8 ▬▬ "Love and War and Snow"

In which, Luke watches Lorelai and Max be happy. He watches Max leave her place in a huff and goes to comfort her and things get heated. 😏

[ i don't know if i'll somewhat tie in with what emily thinks and has told lorelai about what she thinks about luke liking lorelai ]

▬▬▬ [ IN LUKE's POV ] ▬▬▬

As I'm handing out hot chocolates and teas to the re-enactors, I hear a familiar laugh in the distance and I turn around and see Max and Lorelai. They're heading towards her house. They're smiling and dancing, on the way to her house. I'm happy for her because she seems to be happy and that's all I want for her is to be happy. But yet, i'm also sad because I want her to be happy with me.

I turn to see if everyone is better now with their hot liquids/drinks. Kirk seems to be better with his herbal tea with a squeeze of lemon.

I suddenly hear screaming/yelling coming from the direction of Lorelai's place.

▬▬▬ [ IN LORELAI's POV ] ▬▬▬

[their convo walking up
to lorelai's house |
left is max ; right is lorelai ]

"so this is it — my house."

"it's nice."

"thank you."

"good porch."

i giggle at the silly complement.

"nice windows."

* walking up to front door *

"front door ... which opens, i assume"

"yeah."

"something wrong?"

"no, nothings wrong"
(yet 🤭)

"are you sure?"

"yeah, i, uhmm see i was so excited about the snow and about seeing you."

"thank you."

"you're welcome. *a bit of a long pause*  i didn't really think this thing out, and i usually think this kind of thing out, so i'm just thinking this thing out."

"what thing?"

"inviting a man over to my house."

"okay."

"see, i have really strict rules about dating. i keep my personal life totally separate from my life with Rory, you know? i never want her to feel unsettled or like her life could just shift at any moment."

▬▬▬ ¡ one-shot starts here ! ▬▬▬

"yeah, okay i get that but like rory's not even here so let's not make a huge deal about this and go inside cause it's freezing out here."

"i don't think you do! it's a big deal, it's a huge deal actually!"

— back to luke's pov —

i hear the yelling getting louder by the second. i debate if i should go and help her out or not. i decide not to, not just yet. i look back at kirk and the group, drinking their drinks and suddenly it's much quieter.

i look in the direction of lorelai's place and see max storming off back to his car in the shop. i decide then to go see what happened.

"hey, what's wrong?" i say while approaching her.

"max just decided to come into our lives and ruin what rory and i had going on and he didn't like it that i didn't like the interruption so he got angry and so i told him off." she starts to get tears in her eyes.

"why don't we go inside and continue the conversation cause it's cold," i say while putting my arm around her shoulders leading her inside.

i go into her kitchen to get her some coffee so she can warm up and relax enough to talk.

"do i have to go beat up max or is he never coming back?" i hand her the coffee. she smiles a thank you.

"i don't know if he is or not but you don't have to go beat him up, he's a good guy," she says after taking a sip of her coffee.

"and I kinda mentioned that I have a crush on someone and he said he can tell and knows it's not him..."

"oh, really? can I ask you who it is? or is it to personal of a question?" i ask her while going to sit next to her on her couch, putting my arm around the back of it.

"uhm, no, i don't think it is. it's uh, it's you, actually. i think i started to develop feelings for you about a few years ago and they keep getting a bit stronger every once in a while but i've been to scared to act on them or say anything, and i didn't want to ruin our friendship. and you seem to be doing just fine and i'm rambling."

"oh, lorelai! truthfully, i feel the same about you." i go to hug her, and she welcomes it. (ik very ooc of luke but i suck at writing as it is so deal w/ it)

as we come apart from the hug, she kisses me suddenly. i join in the kiss as to tell her i like her just as much. i let my hands rome her body as the kiss gets more intense.

"let's go upstairs?" i say inbetween kisses.

"oh yes!" she agrees.

we head upstairs still kissing and i shut her door as we enter her room, ditching our clothes along the way.

"are you okay with this?" i ask her.

"oh luke, i wouldn't have let it go this far if i wasn't okay with it," she pointed out.

"okay, fair point. just tell me when you aren't or you want to stop,"

we lock lips again and lay down on her bed and explore each other's bodies.

END .

A/N: omg this sucks 😭
most of luke's and lorelai's conversations are going to be out of character (ooc) or just something they wouldn't say bc idk how to write like amy does with them so im sorry but hope you enjoyed this one!! i don't know if i'd be good at writing smut so let's not lol. smut is obviously applied at the end of this one-shot 😂 but i thought this would be a good place to end it ig bc i can't write & i suck at it so im sorry but yeah byeee ✌🏻

edit: (12/7/2022) sorry this was posted so late 😭😭 i hate having no inspiration & motivation & lack of ideas ☹️
