Private Finished I can tell you about Leif Erikson

"Can't and won't. Physically impossible for me to give a shit. I get real fuckin' tired of having to repeat myself about this. So one last time for the people in the cheap seats: brain. broken. fuck off."

Broen just rolled his eyes at her promises and her declaration of caring. He slid the bowl across the counter so she could more easily reach it. "Watch closely and do what I do," he was done with this bullshit. Better to just get on with the nonsense she supposedly came here for so she could just get out and he could get the tension out of his shoulders.

Lorelai kept from rolling her eyes at him or fighting that it was never an all or nothing thing like TV portrayed and he should have fucking known that. But he'd said fuck off and she'd made a damn promise.

"Brain Broken, Fuck Off sounds like a shitty metal band," was what she said instead. Being real, it did.

Rory popped one of the cheery stems in her mouth and watched Broen... which didn't help because this was one of those things you do with your mouth closed. "Wait, how am I supposed to watch you closely and do what you do? Your mouth is closed."

And just when Rory thought she'd managed to tie a knot, it slipped and was a full fucking cherry stem in her mouth again. She cursed under her breath.

"Lean in close, I don't need to shut my lips at least. And I'll go slow for you."
Broen showed how he held the stem between his teeth, opening his mouth every so often to let her see his progress. When he was done with this one, he set it down in front of her and leaned on the counter.

"Maybe it is a shitty metal band. And it's all Abernathy graduates." He paused, considering something and grimacing. "One thing. Did you know those who cracked in the school can't use their powers offensively on each other? Just doesn't work."

Rory followed his lead, much slower than he could. She pulled the knotted cherry stem from between her lips and set it triumphantly on the counter. Nothing compared to his pile (how the fuck was he so good at this? What the shit?)

"No, I hadn't known that." She grabbed another stem to pop into her mouth.

Kada · Aug 16, 2018

"Yup," he said, following Rory's lead and occasionally checking on the simmering cherry reduction. "Abernathy does not permit fighting among its students. It's bullshit. At least you can shoot each other if it really comes down to it. Maybe, I dunno."

Broen watched Rory as the two of them worked through the bowl of cherry stems, still just trying to figure her out. She wanted to fuck him, but wouldn't. She 'cared,' supposedly. "You're getting pretty decent. I'll tell you what. Five cherry stems. Whoever gets them done first, wins. You win, you get one question for each stem I dont finish. No bullshit, just answers. I win, I get to tap that ass once for each stem you don't finish. At my discretion."

That sounded tempting both the idea of losing and winning. Rory was competitive by nature, but she weighed that short-term satisfaction to her long-term satisfaction. Rory didn't bother hiding her consideration of the idea.

"No. I really can't." Rory tapped her foot in irritation and took another stem to work on so she didn't have to talk.

Kada · Aug 16, 2018

"No? Wow. And here I thought you were the competitive type. Shows what I fuckin' know, I guess." Broen didn't touch more of the stems. He got back to work on those tarts. The crusts should have firmed up nicely in the fridge, and he set everything up to bake.

"You just afraid you'll lose? What? Don't wanna pop your cherry like that?"

Sarrain · Aug 16, 2018

Rory didn't say anything at to his comment about her being competitive, but she did laugh a little at his popping the cherry comment.

"Man, I've done worse than ride a bike, I can guarantee it's already popped. And in this situation? I wouldn't care if I lost or won."

Did Lorelai want to tell him why she couldn't? No. Not really. That would end badly. Actually, she was between a rock and a hard spot.

"It's a matter of short-term satisfaction weighed against long-term satisfaction. This short-term satisfaction would ruin a long-term one."

Kada · Aug 16, 2018

"Okay, I'll bite. Since you're in my house. What's the long-term?"

Broen set the timer next to his oven, not even hiding his irritation. He was practically handing her what she wanted. And she was saying no. What the fuck kind of nonsense was this bitch on? She was contradicting herself at every turn, as far as he was concerned. And it was starting to piss him off. He didn't like being jerked around and played with.

"My team. Their well-being and their happiness. So even if I want to do something, I won't if I think it'll negatively affect them."

And Rory tried not to think about Jude and just how upset he'd been about her even sleeping over here. It made her feel ill.

And if Broen asked 'how' that was about the worst case scenario Rory. Damn. Why did they have to have this fucking conversation? She had that distinct 'fight or flight' feeling in the pit of her stomach. Flight was winning.

"Fine. Fine." Rory was trying not to sound fed-up or worn down, the latter of which she very much was. "I can't explain it and I don't feel like fighting with you, so." she tossed five cherry stems at him and set five of her own out. "So, let's just do the damn thing."
