Infatuation
Petyr's pov
Cat had called him that morning asking for help, Arya had been arrested for trespassing at a research facility that does experiments on animals; usually a first offence would have gotten her community service since she is only fifteen, but the research facility is owned by the Lannister's and they aren't known for their soft side, especially Cersei she isn't fond of the Stark's and the friendship her husband has with Ned Stark a local police officer. He had been surprised that cat was asking him for help; sure, he was the best criminal defense lawyer in the city of New York, getting Arya of would be quite easy, But what would he get in return, he always had a price and Cat new this. He had of course agreed to help Cat, being intrigued as to what he could get in return, also the added bonus of pissing of Ned Stark, Ned never did like Him, honorable and law upholding Ned Stark, everything he wasn't.
Later that day he arrived at the stark house to discuss a plea deal for Arya, of course the Lannister's wanted her in a juvenile facility but he had a plan. Cat greeted him at the door and showed him to the dining room, where the rest of the family was waiting, Ned sending him a dirty look as he entered the room, sitting next to Ned was what he assumed was Arya, sulking and complaining about the situation, next to her is the spitting image of cat, he knows that that must be Sansa the eldest Stark daughter, in that moment he knows exactly what his price is going to be, she might not know it yet but she will.
Sansa's pov
That morning she had woken up to her parent's arguing, something about the lawyer her mom had hired to represent Arya, she tried to listen in "Cat we can't trust Baelish, he deceives and uses the system" she recognizes the name Baelish as an old friend of her moms, she remembers meeting him once as a child, now her mom was saying something"….is the best defense lawyer there is Ned, you know the Lannister's doesn't like us, Petyr is our best option" than her dad slammed the door and came upstairs, she hurried to close her door, why didn't her dad like this Baelish person, she remembered him as quite charming. A couple of hours later they were all sitting in the dining room, waiting for Mr. Baelish to arrive, there was a knock at the door her mom got up and a few minutes later she came back with a slender older (but not that old she thought) looking man, dressed in a blue expensive suit with a mockingbird pendant on the breast pocket, she noticed he was staring at her, a rush of self-awareness and intimidation came over her and she looked down, there was an awkward silence until Arya spoke" why do we have to do this, they're the ones, testing medicine on animals I only broke in to film it and get prof, they sho…" but she was cut off by cat" Arya! Mr. Baelish is here to help you" than Mr. Baelish finally spoke" it's quite alright Cat she's right" he said sending a smile Sansa's way" the Lannister's are indeed testing illegal drugs on animals, the video miss Arya took is going to be our bargain, we hand over the video and they drop the charges, if not we release the video" he send another devious smile her way, this time looking her straight in the eyes, only breaking contact when her dad spoke" that's blackmail I won't agree to this" he was looking at her mom with disbelief, than Mr. Baelish spoke again" I don't believe you hired me for my honesty; if that's all I will set up a meeting with the Lannister's Lawyer to make our offer" he got up to leave but her dad stopped him " so how will we be repaying you" she could hear the bitterness in her father's voice" no need, anything for Cat's family" her dad just humft and left " Sansa would you show Mr. Baelish out" her mom asked then went after her dad. She got up and gestured for Mr. Baelish to follow, she can feel his eyes on her, as she walks towards the front door" so Mr. Baelish do you think the Lannister's will drop the charges?" he stilled when the silence was broken, but quickly answered" oh yes; reputation is everything to the Lannister's and please call me Petyr" they had retched the door, he leaned in and whispered" I hope to see you again soon, Sansa" his hand had traced down from her neck to her lower back, she shivered and opened the door watching him leave.
