Just to clear up any confusion, the party at the Starks was on the second Tuesday of Gendry being in the North. So I decided for this fic to be sometime in the third and last week of Gendry's stay :(

This has been fun :')

(I recommend listening to Hear you me by Jimmy Eat World on repeat... Lots of fluff.)

ENJOY MY LOVELIES ｡◕ ‿ ◕｡

Friday,14 June 2013 –Afternoon, Stark household

Arya Stark had not been kissed on the lips before.

And she had never been one who was too concerned about first kisses.

That is, until a real life sex god walked into the pathetic person-in-an-informercial that was her life.

Of course she did get an almost-kiss.

But in Sansa's words….

"An almost kiss, is not a real kiss. I'm sorry to burst your bubble."

Arya grunted into her pillow, having the events of the party haunt her for the past few days.

The two Stark girls were in Arya's room, although she had tried to kick her sister out, she was too lazy and still dazed to actually get out of bed except to use the bathroom and eat.

Sansa had seen them both together at the party and had been bugging Arya to tell her about it, but Arya waved her off, or dismissed her whenever she did…that is until today.

FFS San leave me alone with my inappropriate thoughts I'm FEELING INADEQUATE WITH YOU HERE IN THE SAME ROOM AS I IMAGINE MYSELF DOING CUTE COUPLE-Y THINGS WITH HIM

Pls leave leave leave LEAVVVVEEEEE

"LEAVE." She groaned the most inhuman groan to ever grace her sister's delicate ears.

"Good seven, Arya! Fuck's sake, please do not make that sound ever." She huffed, rolling her eyes over one of Arya's old secret stash of Tiger Beat magazines from 2005.

(What she was really into some hot bands back then, geez)

Just to spite her sister, Arya groaned again, this time making it sound like a whale yawning.

She was met with a thud on the head with a rolled up Tiger Beat magazine.

"Stop that." She clucked.

"Only if you leave."

"Leave?"

"Did I fuckin' stutter?"

"Oi. You don't have to be so crass."

"PLEASE. Sansa. PLEASE. Leave. PLEASE."

"Arya. C'mon we rarely share anything. Tell me what happened." She pleaded, puppy dog eyes at the ready.

"How about this. You leave now, and I'll tell you if it does actually happen. Although I guarantee that he was just a little drunk and didn't actually realize he was almost kissing me that night, alright?"

"He couldn't have been drunk." She muttered.

"Well yeah…he had three beers…but three beers ain't shit for someone of his stature though."

Oh and what FINE stature..

Sansa pursed her lips, as her eyes wandered the ceiling – a really obvious sign that she was thinking, or perhaps, thinking of a better negotiation.

"Hmmm…alright. But you have to tell me okay." She offered, and left the room before Arya could say anything else.

Unbeknownst to both Sansa and Arya, that day was fast approaching.

HD

MA'FUCKIN

6 PACK

MOTHERFUCK

ʘ‿ʘ

(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Oh god stop over-sexualizing normal body parts jfc..
Appreciate his physique just appreciate it...

Keep it cool Arya,

Everything's cool..

She breathed in deeply, and started to take notice of the other people in the room, who had stopped what they were doing to stare at her.

WTF IS UP WITH THE GENES OF THE PEOPLE IN THE SOUTH

JFC THEY ALL LOOK LIKE THEY CAME OUT OF A MAGAZINE

THIS IS UNFAIR, WHOEVER'S RUNNING THE CHROMOSOME FACTORY DOWN THERE REALLY NEEDS TO FUCKIN STOP

OR AT LEAST SHARE SOME OF THE SECRETS WITH THE NORTH

smh

"Arya, this is Hot Pie, Anguy, Lommy, Tom and that tosser over there is Sandor."

She nodded her heads at them, before stepping inside this room full of good-looking guys.

Every one of them could get some ffs…

The guy known as, Sandor, had really bad facial burns on one side of his face, she didn't stare at it, but she wondered if he had pretended to be Zuko once in a while.

FFS stop he probably got traumatised because of that jfc it's really bad..

stop looking at his face stop lookinG

He was sulking across the room watching the other guys playing cards on the free space on the floor between the beds and the Tv set.

Arya averted her attention from the big guy, to the scrawny Lommy guy who had been sketching something in his sketchbook, with a green chalk which had stained his fingers.

The other guys were all sitting in a circle with a deck of cards sitting in the middle and their individual cards lying face down on the floor.

Do I stand here, do I sit down? WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO

HELP LIFE ALERT

I'm STANINDG AND I CAN"T FALL DOWN

no wait..

But Arya, in the midst of her inner panic attack, spotted a discarded Ramones t-shirt on the other bed in the room, and commented on it.

Then next thing she knew, she was having an intense conversation with the guy named Anguy, owner said shirt, listening to Lommy's explanation behind the sketch he was sketching and se even watched the guys play cards as she waited for Gendry to get ready.

(It was meant to be strip poker with the loser having to run down the hallway stark naked, that is until she showed up)

It wasn't long until Gendry gestured that it was time to go.

"They're pretty cool, huh?"

The both of them were hurrying to the elevator before Gendry's teacher heard them.

"Yeah. You don't get cool people like that in the North though. I mean if you don't count the Mormonts."

"The Mormonts?"

"Yeah, you've met one of them at the Fair. Dacey was the one I bet on remember?" She nudged his ribs.

He narrowed his eyes for a while, and as he remembered his eyebrows shot up in recognition.

"Oh right! Man, she knows how to kick ass."

"Yeah, she used to teach me a little martial arts." She added, smirking.

"You used to do martial arts?" He teased as they entered the elevator.

"Don't act so surprise! I can kick a man in his loins just as hard as you probably can."

"You remind me of Donna Noble." He laughed, leaning onto the cool metallic wall of the elevator.

"I'll take that as a compliment spaceboy."

They had walked back to her car in silence, walking side-by-side as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

It was really odd though, when their fingers entwined amidst the light bumping and shoving as they made their way under the rain to her car.

XX

"Hey, you wanna do something fun?" She quipped, after getting bored with just sitting in her car and listening to music.

"Like what?"

"How about we go and dance in the rain. Just shake it all out." She suggested, wiggling her brows.

The light features on his face turned pensive at the thought of being soaking wet, but it cracked under a minute as he grinned.

She revved the engine to her Volkswagen, and drove out of White Knife's fancy parking lot.

"Don't back out on me, they rain's getting heavier, and the heavier the rain, the better." She smirked, liking the way the song contrasted nicely with the atmosphere in the car and the heavy rain outside.

"You wish." He muttered.

She parked in the same place they had played "I have never"; beside the old Heart Tree with the carved face - the signature Children of The Forest mark.

(Yeah, they were some elite band of rebel artist with a statement and it was pretty cool actually)

"Ready?" She asked, excitement rising high.

"Oh yeah." He laughed.

Swiftly, Arya cranked the volume to its maximum volume, and kicked the door open.

Rain poured down on her, soaking through her 2013 Warped Tour T-shirt and her black skinny jeans, as a rock song began playing over the rain.

They were dancing manically to the song, the sound of rain falling harshly around them beating at their ear drums, keeping up with the ever escalating sound of their hearts beating wildly.

Everything was loud; everything felt exactly like your first concert ever.

And he was there and he was dancing goofily and smiling down at her and it felt like someone with a pin had popped the balloon full of fucking pixie dust inside her.

Her heart wasn't just soaring it was doing a massive, exhilarating dance number.

They were dancing and jumping and twirling and skipping right in that open field and it felt like she wasn't even in her own body.

It was like she was in the backdrop of an Indie song.

The music changed and Goo Go Dolls' Iris played slowly and beautifully into the night.

And I'd give up forever to touch you

'Cause I know that you feel me somehow

Their bodies slowed down to the slow-ish tempo of the song. Onc they were a few inches away from each other, Gendry placed a steady hand on her waist. Through the soaking wet shirt she was wearing, she could feel the warmth of his hand radiating through the thin fabric of her shirt.

You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be

And I don't wanna go home right now…

He looked down at her, watching her as she placed both her hands on his shoulders like she had seen so many times in those movies Sansa loved so much, never breaking eye contact with each other.

And all I can taste is this moment

And all I can breathe is your life.

Some of his hair got in the way of his eyes and gently, she pushed it away, on her tippy toes, much to his amusement.

When sooner or later it's over

I just don't wanna miss you tonight

She was smiling up at him, and he down at her, and it felt so right for them to be like this.

They were swaying to the music, watching the light dance in each other's eyes and listening to the rain yelling over the music.

And I don't want the world to see me

'Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am…

"I haven't been totally honest with you." He muttered softly to her lips.

Despite feeling dizzy with delight at the close proximity and warmth of their bodies, Arya still managed to catch what he had said.

"What do you mean?" She mumbled back.

"I mean you still don't know a lot about me, Arya. And I feel like I want you to know."

"Tell me." She challenged, gazing deep into those ocean eyes of his.

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming

Or the moment of truth in your lies…

"I'm Gendry Baratheon, I'm a big Doctor Who fan. I waste my life on tumblr and or sketching out designs for whatever I need to sculpt. I believe in fate, and…I used to be afraid of a woman in red."

When everything feels like the movies

Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive

"Woman in red?" She breathed, trying to understand what he was saying.

He pulled her in closer by the waist as her hands fell to his chest.

"She was my uncle's mistress. And she used to scare me with her pet leeches." He confided softly.

And I don't want the world to see me

'Cause I don't think that they'd understand

"You're miles away from her. It's just you and me now."

She didn't know what demon possessed her to utter those words to him, but she liked how it made her feel confident.

She could feel the weight her words carried, and it appeared to her that he did too as he lowered his face to hers, while she hanged on to his shoulders, bringing herself closer to him.

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am..

She pressed her forehead to his, feeling the muscles relaxing at the point of contact.

And then he kissed her.

Softly and sweetly, his lips slanted against hers.

It was like a thousand little puppies were rubbing themselves against her, making her all tingly as goose bumps ran down her arms.

He pulled away, a second later, smiling down at her, before dipping in again for a second kiss.

Not a single thought filled their minds.

All she knew was that her body was responding to his kiss.

His lips were warm and wet and soft, gliding smoothly over hers, and the feeling, by gods the feeling.

It was like two galaxies had collided into billions and gazillions of tiny stars that floated all the way up to the top of her head to the bottom of her soles.

It felt like she was floating on pixie dust.

Arya was chilled to the bone, the movements she made were all under the influence of what they were doing, and Arya didn't know how she knew to bring her arms to the back of his neck, wrapping them around his neck, to bring them closer.

He traced small circles on the small of her back, making her sigh into his mouth. Her lips shuddered as he parted his lips against hers, meeting her tongue with his glorious one.

Arya left her lips to leave a trail of kisses under his jaw and down to his neck, stopping midway to return back to his lips. She was met with a groan, and they continued this, exploring each other like they should, under the pouring rain.

And if you listen hard enough, you can hear Hilary Duff singing Come Clean in the distance.

XX

It was Arya who broke the kiss, only because the sheer joy that kiss gave her made her want to pee.

Typical…

She pulled away, noticing how his eyes were so dark, making her wonder if hers held as much arousal and desire as his was.

Their ragged breathing steadied and only then did they allowed some light between them.

"That was really...nice." Her voice was hoarse and she felt really really thirsty.

Was it normally like this on the first/second kiss?

"I liked it." He admitted, smiling down at her with his hands shoved in the front of his jean pockets.

Please come back to my waist, hands…

"Was I good?" The stupid question fled from her still shaking lips.

"Hmmmm...I'm gonna have to check with you again later. " He said, pretending to be nonchalant.

"Oi!" She laughed, throwing a punch at his stomach, earning an 'oof' from him.

"Okay ow, that fucking hurts." He grunted.

"That's what you get."

"When you let your heart win?"

"No, I drowned all my sense with the sound of its beating."

And just like that they were yelling Paramore's, That's What You Get, to each other in the rain.

The morning after that night, Arya Stark woke up with the cold and thus could not go out under her mother's orders.

So as she turned on her Macbook, wrapped in her duvet, and went to go check tumblr, she saw that she had a message.

I would jump up and down and fuckin' do the macarena for this, but I literally feel too sick to move i am sorry..

/Are we a thing now? Bc I would like if we were a thing so I can announce on every social networking platform that you and I are a thing. Oh, and Get well soon. Here's a picture of Zachary Quinto bc I know you like his booty as much as mine :)

AY PAPI

DREAMS DO COME TRUE IF YOU BELIEVE IN SOMEONE'S BOOTY HARD ENOUGH

/I want to be a thing more than you, trust me. But yes please announce it on every social networking platform ever. And by every i mean tumblr..

She hit send, and his reply came pretty damn quickly for someone who was as sick that day, as she was.

/Look at my recent text post

She refreshed her dashboard, and there it was.

That same icon that had graced her dashboard so many times, and right beside it was a test post with a '.' and in the tags were:

#girlfriend acquired #WHAT A CATCH DONNIE

FFS A FALL OUT BOY REFERENCE.
I do not see a problem with this relationship at all..

THANK YOU TUMBLR, OLD GODS, NEW GODS AND ALL THE SEVEN AND R'HLLOR U TOO BUDDY..

For Arya Stark, 17 year old girl from tumblr, life was getting pretty damn good...
