Written for the Caesar's Palace ship week (Prompt: Coffeeshop AU). To see the whole list, drop by the forum!
Gendry always spells Arya's name wrong on the cup, but she supposes that she can't blame him, since he probably has never had a proper conversation with anyone outside of his family unit, if his personality is to show for it.
"The usual?" he asks her as she slings open the door.
She's not quite sure why she keeps coming back. "Yeah, and I'll have double what I usually get, today."
"Rough day?"
"Yes," she replies curtly.
"What's your name again?" he asks. Arya can tell that he's not an actor on the side.
"It's "you are" without the y, o, u and last letter, and ya like the abbreviation for young adult," she tells him, wondering what atrocity he'll come up with next.
