Willas

Willas smiled as he walked carefully down one of the church corridors. He winced slightly as he accidentally put too much weight on his bad leg. That still happened sometimes when he forgot to use his cane properly. He leaned against the wall and composed himself before continuing towards the door. He knew it wouldn't be much longer now before the wedding began; however he felt like he couldn't wait any longer to see Sansa. Still, he was raised a gentleman and as such he knocked on the door. There was a brief pause before the door opened by the bride's sister Elenya.

"Hi." She said; smiling, it was a happy day for everyone Willas was sure. "Something wrong?"

Willas shook his head. "No, everything's fine; I just…I was hoping I could see Sansa for a minute."

"What is it?" Sansa's voice floated towards him from within the room.

Before he could reply he saw her as she came walking up behind Elenya. Willas felt his breath hitch when he saw her. She looked stunning; as he caught a glimpse of the room he noted that all the ladies present were looking their best. He smiled to her, studiously ignoring Elenya's failed attempt not to giggle at them. Sansa smiled back, excused herself and left the room. Willas followed her as she led him to another room.

Sansa turned to him once they were in the room, she immediately embraced him and they kissed deeply. They parted for air, still smiling.

"I believe you wanted to see me for something?" She said; teasingly.

Willas laughed. "You know me to well; I know the ceremony's starting soon. I just, I couldn't wait any longer to see you."

Sansa also laughed and shook her head.

"Honestly I was thinking the same thing." She paused and then added. "I thought Arya and Gendry were bad like that; turns out we're the same."

Willas smiled and kissed her again. They stood together quietly, their foreheads touching, enjoying each other's company. Eventually however Sansa sighed.

"As much as I enjoy this; I have to get back and help Jeyne." She said softly.

Willas nodded as he stepped back. "I understand; I'll see you at the ceremony then."

Sansa smiled lightly and asked jokingly. "Would you do me the honour of escorting me back?"

Willas laughed and replied in kind.

"But of course, My Lady."

She linked her arm with his and they left the room; nearly running into Gendry in the process.

"Oh sorry." He said quickly; they all recovered and he smiled. "Glad I found you; Willas, your grandmother's looking for you."

Willas nodded. "Thank you, I'll go see her right away."

Before any of them could react they heard a door open and then a familiar voice.

"There you are Sansa; c'mon, Jeyne's waiting."

They turned, it was Arya, suddenly her eyes fell on Gendry, at the same time his eyes fell on her.

Willas couldn't help but smirk when he saw their matching expressions. It was amazing to see the normally feisty Stark girl have such a gentle expression on her face. He saw Sansa also smirking out the corner of his eye before she kissed his cheek.

"I'll see you at the ceremony." She told him.

He nodded and watched as Sansa headed back to the room where the bridesmaids were getting Jeyne ready for the wedding. He distinctly saw Arya mouth the words 'Five minutes' to Gendry, before she also headed back into the room, closing the door behind her. Willas noted the grin on Gendry's face as they headed downstairs.

"What was that about?" He asked.

"Huh, what do you mean?" Gendry replied; a little too quickly.

Willas shook his head. "I'm not blind Gendry, Arya mouthed 'five minutes' to you; I take it you'll be going to see her then."

Gendry sighed. "Yeah, I am. She…she has trouble relating to the girls, so she needs some time away, before the ceremony starts."

Willas nodded at that. He could see to that Gendry needed some time with Arya too. In truth Willas could tell Arya was the main reason Gendry was still here, especially since he knew his father was here too. He didn't know a lot about Gendry, but Willas instantly felt friendship to the young man, friendship Gendry returned. Willas guessed it just came from them both dating Stark girls.

Willas pondered for a minute and then spoke.

"You know, it's good what you've done for Arya." He told Gendry. "Her family know it too, they're all grateful to you."

Gendry looked confused. "Huh, what do you mean?"

Willas was suddenly serious.

"Sansa told me, that for a long time, Arya was alone, hurting…nobody understood her or was able to help her. They all felt she should behave a certain way, or do certain things, when she didn't they just judged her for it."

Willas saw Gendry's expression tighten; he continued.

"But then you came along, you never judged her, she could be herself. You brought her back to life…That's something they'll never forget."

Gendry smiled in reply. "I see; I…I never thought of it that way, thanks for letting me know."

Willas nodded. "Any time…Oh BTW, that's been five minutes."

Gendry laughed and headed back in the direction they came from; Willas smiled and soon found his grandmother; his sister was there too and together they headed into the church to take their seats. Today was about Robb and Jeyne, but he also noticed that he wasn't the first and certainly wouldn't be the last to take note of Arya and Gendry and their relationship, as well as how it had developed. He hoped that others would also see what he saw too, the way in which they completed each other and made it possible for them to face their problems, no matter what they were, together.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
