A/N: So I've decided to do a multi-chapter prompts-based drabble fic :D
There will be different characters, prompts and times (either books, post-ADWD or modern AU). LottieDot has given me the first chapter prompt.
Prompt: Trains
Time: Modern AU
Pairing: Arya and Gendry
Arya was waiting for her train to arrive to take her back to university. She instantly regretted leaving her car at campus while she had gone home for the weekend, but there was nothing she could do about it now.
The train arrived and Arya got on it, groaning inside when she realised almost every seat was full. She made her way through the carriage, mumbling apologies to people she bumped into and found, right at the end, a spare seat next to a man with black hair, working on a laptop.
"Mind if I sit there?" Arya asked and he glanced up at her with blue, blue eyes before nodding, turning back to his laptop. Arya sat and watched him curiously, the concentration on his face paramount. "What are you working on?" she asked before she could stop herself.
"Nothing important," the man murmured, his eyes never leaving the screen.
"Fine," Arya said with a shrug. She was just making conversation for the five hour ride to King's Landing and she was being snubbed. She felt the guy look at her before he sighed.
"It's research for a law firm," he said. Arya looked back at him, a swooping sensation in her stomach as he held her gaze for a moment before turning back to the laptop.
The train started moving and Arya leaned back, bracing herself for the long trip. "I'm researching old cases for my assignment," he clarified.
"Oh?" Arya asked, mildly interested. "Are you at university then?"
"In my last year," Gendry replied with a smile. Arya pouted in response.
"I'm only in my second year," she sighed.
"What are you studying?" Gendry asked.
"Law," Arya replied with a smile. Gendry looked surprised.
"Where at?" he asked.
"King's Landing Uni," she answered.
"I knew you looked familiar," Gendry said with a smile. "I've seen you around there."
"Any pointers on how to survive the next two years?" Arya asked.
"Just don't overwork," Gendry told her. "Give yourself a break, go out a bit." He smirked and turned back to his laptop.
"What cases are you researching?" Arya asked.
"Just the one," Gendry said. "It's only one case I have to do for the assignment. I'm doing the murder of Rhaegar Targaryen."
"Interesting," Arya replied. "We're still learning the different laws this semester and then we're moving onto recent cases. I love cold cases though, the ones that haven't been solved."
"So do I," Gendry said with a smile. "Rhaegar Targaryen's death was unsolved which is why I chose it. Who's your lecturer?"
"Renly Baratheon," Arya replied. "He's pretty cool. Looks a lot like you though." Gendry shrugged.
"Everyone has a twin somewhere in the world," he said. They lapsed into comfortable silence, Gendry working on his laptop and Arya pulling out her law textbook.
The train stopped at King's Landing four and a half hours later and Arya and Gendry grabbed their things and followed some people off.
"Wait up!" the man called and Arya turned to him. He stopped next to her and held out his hand. "I'm Gendry Waters."
"Arya Stark," Arya replied, shaking his hand. Gendry smiled at her.
"Do you want to grab a coffee with me tomorrow?" he asked. "I know this awesome place that does the best coffee in King's Landing." Arya cocked her head to the side and smiled.
"I'd love to," she answered. She held her hand out and Gendry handed her his phone where she entered her number before handing it back to him. "Call me," she said and Gendry nodded. Arya smiled and walked away, thinking that trains weren't so bad after all.
A/N: First prompt is finished. If you have a prompt, name the time, the characters you want and the prompt in a review or PM :)
