I.O.U.

okay. New writer here please give feedback!!!!

this is a lot "fluffier" than my usual stuff so i apologise to all those other non romantics like me out there but Dean and Rory always seemed that way to me.......also the first chapter is just setting the scene...it gets juicier i promise...hope you enjoy!

Rory was so eager to please her grandmother.SHe saw how lonely she had become since her and grandpa weren't getting along. If all it took was a pretty white dress, a dance and a fancy dinner, well Rory was happy to help. Of course any offer of a free meal, especially one that didn't come off a takeaway menu, was considered a huge bonus!

She knocked on Dean's door softly and peeked in a small smile on her face. One look at her and dean knew she wanted a favor. Rory explained to him as best she could what a debutante ball was. Confused looks passed over his face as he ascertained what was expected of him.

"a tux, dancing lessons, dancing, fancy dinner AND your grandparents? Gees Rory sounds like a blast " he said sarcastically raising his eyebrows.

Rory bowed her head slightly fidgeting with her hands. SH eknew she was asking a lotconsidering the history between her boyfriend and her grandfather. NOt to mention she had already dragged him to a school formal. Their relationship was so dependable but so far Rory felt she hadn't given as much as dean had. He had told her he loved her, been dragged to numerous family outings, rebuilt her a car...he really was her prince charming as the chilton girls called him.

"If it's that important to you I"ll give it a shot....but you owe me" dean said reluctantly with a half smile-half grimace on his face.

"sure....anything"smiled Rory bouncing on her heels excitedly. She leaned in and placed a chaste kiss on his lips. Dean pulled her in gently to deepen the kiss moaning quietly against her soft lips. Rory pulled back after a minute leaving dean slightly out of breath.

Dean was starting to get a litle frustrated at the lack of momentum in their relationship. Other guys his age had been with lots of girls or at least got a blowjob, handjob or something. So far the furthest he had got with Rory was a quick feel over the top of her blouse and that was only because she had been feeling guilty about their brief breakup. He understood of course and never pushed Rory, but suddenly he thought of an excuse to bring up the subject.

"so...anything then...?" Dean said quietly with his sweet smile showing his dimple and teeth. He looked a little nervous.

"yep." grinned Rory "you deserve it you are the best boyfriend in the world" she said with that mock serious look on her face.

"well..."dean began blushing and stammering slightly " i was thinking maybe,if you are okay with it, we could make out properly, maybe take things a bit further.I mean I'm happy and I don't want you to feel pressured, but we've been dating for a while, and I was kind of hoping we could take that next step togehter. I mean it's not like i have ever done this before either, so we don't have to, I don't know...."

It all came out so fast that dean actually thought he had been spending too much time with the gilmores...he was starting to sound like lorelai. He finally looked up from his shoes at Rory who had paled slightly taking in what he had said.

"you want to have sex!?!" she squealed softly

" no..." dean jumped off the bed quickly" no...i mean yes one day...but that's not what i meant...god Rory i didn't mean that! I was just thinking we could fool around a little that's all. I kinda feel we're stuck at just kissing and maybe we can try something different. Nothing you don't feel comfortable with." Again channelling the gilmores rapid speech.

"let me think about it dean. It's not that I don't want to , I am just a little scared. I might not be good at it, I don't want you to think I'm not worth the time..." rory spoke quietly

Dean sat back down and placed his hand on her cheek cupping her face gently.

"I would never think that. I love you Rory and you are worth everything to me."
