The next two months were like a dream for Sansa. After the weekend spent at The Tyrell's house, her and Sandor started dating. Sansa lived on campus, but Sandor lived about 10 minutes away from campus in an apartment he shared with his roommate Gendry. Sansa got along great with Gendry, which made things a a lot easier considering how much she was at their apartment. Because football season was over, Sansa spent most evenings with Sandor except for Sunday. On Sundays Sansa would go to her parents estate for family dinner night without Sandor. It wasn't as if she was trying to keep Sandor a secret, but her family was nosey and could be a little too overbearing. She just wasn't ready to expose Sandor to them just yet. Ned Stark did find out from his best friend, Robert Baratheon, that Sansa had a boyfriend who played for UConn. This little piece of information made Ned chuckle as he knew most of the football players. Robert and Ned had UConn football season tickets and made large donations to the UConn alumni and sports programs. Robert overheard Joffrey talking to Margaery one evening about Sansa dating someone from the football team, but did not hear exactly who it was, but it was enough information to pass onto his buddy Ned.

One Sunday after spending the morning with Sandor, Sansa packed up her dirty laundry to drive to her parents house for Sunday dinner. Sansa took this opportunity to do her laundry, which got her out of having to help her mom cook. She did not mind cooking, but thought her sister in law Jeyne was a little too annoying to spend that much time around. Jeyne was married to her older brother Robb and made it her goal to shamelessly kiss Catelyn Stark's ass. Sansa rolled her eyes at the thought as she entered the house. She passed through the kitchen on her way to the laundry room quickly hugging her mom and waving to Jeyne. As she was sorting her laundry, her father walked into the laundry room. "Soooo Sansa, want to tell me who the football player is that you are dating?" Sansa just froze and stared at her father...busted!

"Um daddy, what have you heard?" Ned stared at his daughter smiling, "Robert overheard Joffrey talking about you dating one of the football players or was he mistaken?" Sansa stared at her feet then back at her father and let out a quiet "no." She knew her father was not going to drop the subject until she came out with it. She looked up at her father and smiled. "Daddy, I have been dating Sandor Clegane for the past few months." Ned's jaw just dropped, he wasn't quite sure what to say next. He knew Clegane, he wasn't as evil as his older brother, but he was the brute of the UConn team and between his size and the scars, Clegane was scary. No one got past Clegane in football and apparently neither did his daughter. Ned then spoke, "Does he treat you well?" Sansa just smiled, "Oh daddy, he is the best." Ned let out a sigh of relief, "Then bring him over next Sunday..."

Before Sansa had a chance to respond, her sister Arya came bounding into the laundry room as Ned walked out to go grab a beer. "What's up bi-otch!" Arya said with enthusiasm. Sansa just rolled her eyes. "So Sansa, I need a favor...my Vespa needs to go in the shop and I was wondering if I could borrow your car to run some errands next Friday after school?" Sansa just groaned in response, "Fine, but it better be clean and not smell like cigarettes when I get it back. I have class next Friday then I will be at a friends house, just text me when you are done with it and I can tell you where I am so you can drop it by, then I can drive you back home." Arya just smiled and responded with "kick ass."

Dinner was uneventful other than her step brother Theon acting like a jerk, which was normal. Ned occasionally looked at his daughter and smiled. He obviously had not spoken to anyone else about their discussion earlier ...otherwise, she would have gotten 500 questions from her family. After dinner, Sansa helped clear and clean the dishes with her brother Bran then grabbed her laundry to head back to her dorm. Sansa contemplated going to Sandor's, but decided she needed to study since finals were coming up and Sandor was a "distraction." She texted Sandor to let him know that she got back safe and that she would be staying in to study. Sandor texted her back, "night night Little Bird..see you tomorrow."

The next week went by in a blur, between studying for exams and trying to find a free moment with Sandor. Friday came around before Sansa had a chance to catch her breath. Friday morning, Arya was dropped off by Catelyn at Sansa's dorm to pick up her car. Sansa gave her the keys, but not before telling Arya to not fuck it up. Later that day after class, Sandor picked up Sansa to take her back to his place. They ordered Thai from a place around the corner for dinner. As they were about to eat, Arya texted Sansa asking where she was at, Sansa then texted Sandor's address back. She figured she would let Arya know about Sandor when she came to drop off the car. An hour went by and Arya never showed up, but Sansa did not think anything of it as Arya was never prompt in doing anything. After dinner, Sandor and Sansa watched a movie and around 11pm, decided to go to bed. As they were straightening up, Gendry walked in the apartment then into the kitchen to grab a beer. Sansa followed him into the kitchen, "Hey Gendry, Sandor and I are going to bed...ummm my sister might be coming by to drop off my car, do you mind letting me know when she gets here?" Gendry turned around, "yeah sure, what is your sister's name?" Sansa let out an enthusiastic "thank you...oh, her name is Arya." Gendry just froze as Sansa walked out the kitchen towards Sandor's room not paying attention to the expression on his face.

Arya received the text back from Sansa with the address and had to do a double take. Why was Sansa at THAT address? She decided she needed a breather before going over to drop off the car and headed to her friend Hot Pie's house. When she got there, Hot Pie and Lommy were watching some weird German dungeon porn movie, but she didn't care so she flopped down on the couch and started looking at an auto magazine Hot Pie had sitting around. A few hours passed hanging out at Hot Pie's when she decided she still needed to drop off Sansa's car, but when she looked at the clock, it was almost 11:30..."fuck." She left Hot Pie's dreading what she was about to get herself into and headed to the address on her phone.

After Sandor and Sansa went to bed, which Gendry knew was a joke as they never just "went to bed", Gendry put some Korn on the stereo then loaded up to play Baldur's Gate on his computer. He did not have the music loud, but just loud enough to muffle what was going on in the other room...Sansa wasn't exactly quiet when Sandor started working her over. Gendry thought it was funny at first, but he didn't need to hear that all the time. Gendry thought about what Sansa said to him earlier and thought he heard Sansa wrong when she said the name of her sister, but Arya?

Gendry met Arya six months prior when her dad came into the bike shop with her to buy a Vespa. He worked at the shop and Arya would come in time to time to look at the bikes. After talking with her a few times, he asked her out on a date. However, she abruptly stopped responding to his texts and emails after they went on a few dates, which was confusing because he thought they hit it off really well. Gendry liked girls who were a little rough around the edges and Arya was definitely the scrappy type unlike her sister. Gendry was lost in his thoughts for a moment when he heard a knock at the door. He got up to open it and there she was wearing a Blag Flag T-shirt, black cut off shorts, and Doc boots. "Why the fuck is my sister here of all places", Arya said then smirked at Gendry. He just rolled his eyes and let her in the apartment. Arya walked past him and sat down on the couch in a huff, "aren't you going to answer my question?" Gendry just stood in the doorway between the kitchen and the den staring at her then spoke, "why didn't you call or text me back?" Arya just fidgeted and started messing with a string hanging off her shorts, then whispered, "because I am still in high school." Gendry just stared at her, "how old?" Arya looked up at him and smiled, "I turn 18 in two weeks...yeah I know I have been an idiot, I should have called...it isn't like you are THAT much older than me, but I sort of freaked because things were going so well." Gendry just laughed at her.

Arya and Gendry just stared at each other realizing how silly Arya had been about the whole age thing when Arya heard a loud screech from the other room. "WHAT THE FUCK, THAT SOUNDED LIKE SANSA!", Arya shrieked as she stormed down the hallway. Before Gendry had a chance to stop her, Arya swung open the door to Sandor's room. She stood there frozen for a moment as she saw the top of a dark mass of hair with her sister's ass over whoever it was and Sansa's legs on either side of the head. She heard a muffled "OH FUCK" then Arya stormed back down the hall and out the front door with Gendry chasing behind her.
