Once again i couldn´t do it without Amy (aryawaterrs) :)


"Can you remind me again, why I'm doing this?" Gendry kept looking at his sword, turning and brandishing it in the air.

"To learn how to use a sword," Arya seemed so natural with a sword in her hands and yet Gendry was uncomfortable using it.

"Why a sword? Why not a hammer? You know, a Warhammer,"

Arya began to get bothered, "You know how to use a hammer, and it's no mystery to you. A sword is different,"

Gendry stopped paying attention to the sword to look at Arya, "And you're going to teach me?" He said, raising an eyebrow.

Arya approached and put the tip of the sword to his chest, "Yes, why? Do you think I cannot?" Arya arched an eyebrow, daring him to challenge her.

"No, what I think is that it will not serve as anything," Gendry said with a smile.

"You'll never know until you try," Arya lowered the sword and stepped away from him. "Shall we start?" She said with a smile of self-sufficiency and Gendry knew what was coming. A battle, not with swords but between them to prove who was right. And Gendry was not willing to lose.

"Ahead," Gendry could not stop smiling, thinking about how angry she would be when he beat her - for some strange reason he loved to make her angry.

Arya got in to water dance stance, "First, position,"

Gendry imitated her, "Like this?" The smile never left his face. Arya thought he was not taking her seriously and that made her even more furious.

"Exactly! Try and attack me now," She said and Gendry advanced towards Arya using his sword like a warhammer. For Arya, it was easy to dodge him, fast scrolling left, Gendry was strong and big but that made him slow.

"Wrong," Gendry turned to see her, still with that smirk on his face "You used the sword like a warhammer and you lost the pose,"

"I think I'm made to use a hammer, not a sword,"

Why was he still wearing that smirk? Did he think he could win in a fight? He did not even know how to use a sword, thought Arya.

"Again," Arya moved into position and hoped he would do the same, which he did, "Go on, when you´re ready,"

Gendry attacked quickly, and Arya smirked, does he think to catch me off guard? As before, he lost his position and returned to use the sword as a hammer. Arya turned to dodge, this time to the right.

"You'll have to work hard if you want to catch me, you don't know how to use a sword and I'm faster than you,"

Gendry burst into laughter as he turned to her, "Do you think I won't be able to catch you?"

"No, you're too slow"

"And if I can catch you?" Gendry arched an eyebrow, with that stupid smile, having fun at her expense.

"You won't,"

"But, if I do, if I can catch you, what will happen?" Said Gendry.

Arya bit her lip, "You win,"

Gendry's smile widened, "And what would I win?"

"What you would win?" Arya was getting nervous, what was Gendry thinking?

"You'll have to do what I ask for a day,"

"And if I win?"

"If you win it would be the same, I obey you, all day," The idea was too tempting to reject. Besides, there was no way Gendry would have a chance against her.

"Okay, start again and whoever loses will have to obey the other for a day," Arya was completely sure she would win, but then why did Gendry had that attitude of knowing he would win? That puzzled her and made her hesitate.

Arya positioned herself and hoped that he would mimic her, but he didn't.

"What are you waiting for? Go on," Gendry came forward, and Arya was prepared to dodge the attack. But instead of attacking, Gendry dropped the sword and lunged at Arya, pinning the two to the ground.

"SEVEN HELLS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Arya was furious, thrashing trying to get loose, but it was impossible.

Gendry laughed out loud and said simply, "Winning,"
Arya tried to kick him, but he was over her, pinning her firmly to the floor. Finally, she gave up.

"It's not fair, it was supposed to be a sword fight," She wanted to make that smile go away by punches but she couldn´t, so that make her even more angry.

"Oh yeah? All I remember is that what we had to do was catch the other, we didn't talk about swords,"

Arya opened her mouth to protest but ended up not saying anything, he was right, the deal was to catch the other. They hadn't mentioned anything about swords.

"Then I won, right?" Said Gendry, with a smile.

"Yes," Arya said reluctantly.

Gendry released her as she stood, completely freeing her, "Then tomorrow you'll do everything I say,"

Arya wanted to hit him, as he said, "I think I'm going to have so much fun,"

And with that smug smile, he picked up his sword and left.

"Stupid! This is not over!" No, no way, she wasn't going to lose against him. But, how could she possibly beat him?
