I do not own GOT just using the characters.

Buying a house is not easy for anyone but for Robb and Theon it was like Monopoly. Nothing but fighting over which property they would buy.

It was nearly midnight and even though everyone else in their apartment building was asleep they were up and at it yelling at each other, not caring if their neighbours heard. Theon rubbed a hand through his long hair as he was trying to calm his self-down as Robb was letting him know what was on mind.

"You are such an idiot Theon!" Robb yelled at him throwing a small piles of papers at him. Theon narrowly missed them and retorted by standing right up to Robb's face and raising his voice.

"I'm not you're just being stubborn!" He yelled back. He was sick of Robb and his attitude towards all of this.

Robb worked in a police station, just like his father had and he was working his way to the promotion and even possibly becoming the commissioner. Theon on the other hand worked with his father's company 'Iron born Ships', they sold boats and other types of ship materials. He didn't exactly enjoy it but since the shop he worked in was based in a big city he got a decent amount from it.

It had only been a week since they started trying to decide what house they would buy and yet already they were having heated arguments on what they should go for. Robb wanted something close to his family just a little bit outside of the town while Theon wanted something that was close to his job in the centre of town.

"The one you want is too expensive." He said looking at the folder that Robb had gathered on the house that had caught his eye. While it did look like something out of a home comfort magazine there was a total amount of $466,493. Only a Lannister could have afforded that and not have to worry about debts or anything.

"But it's so much better. Your one is in a traffic heavy area. If I'm working long hours I don't want to be constantly woken up." He understood that it was important to Robb that he got his sleep but the house was nice, close to both of their jobs and most importantly it was within their price range. It wasn't perfect but it was the best option they had.

"We have out budget set. If you want to buy that one I know you'll ask for help from Cat. I don't like asking for her charity. You know how we feel about each other." He looked to the side at a Stark family photo which had Robb, Catelyn, Arya, Sansa, Rickon, Bran and Jon. All but Ned was there.

Theon knew it must have been difficult to move away from his family but it wasn't that bad and if they wanted to it was only a two hours' drive away. Family was important to Robb but it was to Theon as well and if they went with Robb's idea he would pretty much be completely isolated form his father and his sister.

"I know she hasn't taken to you yet but I'm sure that if you let me ask for her help she would see how happy we are." He said trying to de tense the situation but it was clear that by him bringing up his mother only made Theon more annoyed. Her relationship with him was as good as the one she had with Jon. True her husband made her believe it was his for the first 20 years of his life but even after being told he was actually just his nephew she still didn't exactly take to him.

"Cat is never going to like me. I've tried but she doesn't take to me." He complained. He had honestly tried his best to get her approval but it was obvious she would never like him.

"Well maybe she would feel better about you if you weren't so difficult half the time and maybe she could trust you." He knew his mother was difficult on him but she sort of had a reason to do so. The Greyjoy's had a history of working with the Lannister family and they directly were involved with Ned's death.

"She doesn't trust my dad so she hates me by default." Theon really did want to be a part of their family but it seemed like it would be another long while before that ever happened.

"There was the time you were meant to look after the house and we ended up being robbed. You were so useless." If there was one thing Theon hated it was being reminded of his past mistakes. He remembered the day that Catlin Stark lost her little amount of trust in him as he accidently left the door unlocked and robbers stole some of their most valued possessions, including Ned Starks Officer of the year award. Thankfully they were able to get everything back but Cat had never forgiven him for it.

As the bad memories were clouding his mind he realised that there was no way in hell he could deal with any more of this tonight. "I'm going for a drink." He said not even looking at him while his voice cracked. Robb knew that Theon's voice would crack if he was going to cry and it was at this point he realised that he had probably crossed a line he shouldn't have.

"Theon, Wait!" He said but he brushed past him to go get his things. Theon didn't even bother getting a jacket, he was too mad to even consider it. He just needed to get away from the stress of it all. He momentarily looked around for his wallet and he left slamming the door hard.

Robb was left alone, feeling like utter crap. He sat on the sofa and tried to think of how he could make it up to him when he got back. He covered his face with his hands and tried to clear his head. It never got that heated between them and he didn't know what to do next. He supposed he could just make it up to him in the morning when he got back.

Theon waited until he was out in the car before he started to cry. He wasn't going to let Robb see him break down then give him false sympathies. The tears were salty but he didn't really notice due to his growing up around salt water half the time. He was trying to think of what to do next. He wiped his face and then took a breath to try and regain his composure. He had experienced a lot of stressful night but this one took the cake. If there was one thing that he could always rely on to make him chill out it was alcohol.

This wasn't his most stressful night however. No, that's where Ramsay Bolten came in.
