Chapter 7: - Arya

Arya could not wait for the rugby match, she couldn't wait to finally be out of the house the first time today. But more she couldn't wait to absolutely smash Robb. She was happy Jon had picked her, their bond had always been special. They had similar outgoing personalities but didn't like being the centre of attention.

"Hey." A voice said behind her, she turned to see Gendry walking towards her, two glasses in his hands. She smiled, she had come outside to escape the hustle and bustle of the kitchen as Theon and Sansa made supper. Patting the space on the bench beside her, she snuggled into his shoulder as she settled down, into the crook of his arm.

"I brought you a Gin and Tonic. If you think you can manage that is!" He chuckled playfully handing her the glass.

"Of course, I can! I'm a Stark." She smiled, taking the glass from him and taking a sip. Popping the glass behind her she reached for her cigarettes and lighter, and when Gendry nodded pooped one in both his and her mouth.

That was how they had bonded, smoking. She liked to think her, and Gendry were similar. Both from large families with plenty of struggles. Gendry had been her rock, when her parents had died. He didn't pity her and ask if she was 'ok' all the time. He had understood and had comforted her in the best way he could, by being himself and being there for her. That was when she had grown to like him the way she did now. Lighting both his and her cigarette, she inhaled. She felt. Relaxed. Life was peaceful, the world had slowed down.

"We're gunna own the others and rugby, right?" He questioned, his cigarette dangling from his mouth. God, he looked fit, she thought.

"Obviously." She agreed and leant it for a deep kiss.

Theon had made the Bolognaise and the pasta was ready to boil, and everything was set up for the Rugby game. Arya came downstairs dressed in her gym clothes and was ready. The Stark Rugby game was something that Robb and Jon had created after their parents died, which they played when everyone was home every so often. Sports had always been a part of the Stark household, as all of the children were very active, and growing up Rugby had been the one game they could all play together, even Sansa. Their father had previously played for England is his prime, and Robb was ambitious to follow in his footsteps. The Stark Rugby wasn't a proper rugby match it was more like a mixture of piggy in the middle, but just a bit more aggressive, and you had to get it from one end to the to the other to score a 'try' without losing possession.

Arya smiled, as she walked out into the garden finding Gendry in his grubby running shorts sat on the bench, remembering the days where her father chased them all around the garden playfully. She sniffled and Gendry sensing her discomforting cuddled her close to his body.

"He would be proud of you. You know, that right?" He stated, kissing the top of her head affectionately.

"I miss him, I miss them." She admitted, a lone tear falling down her cheek.

"Hey, I've got you." He comforted. "Ar." He said. "Remember you're only human." As he brushed the tear from her cheek with his rough hand. She hugged him tightly, and then getting up pulled him but his hands to go and join the others.

Once everyone was assembled, "Let the game begin!" Called Robb, as he kicked the ball up into air. Jon jumped at the same time as Ygritte to grab the bull, as they both landed on the floor.

"Sorry babe." Ygritte called as she ran off with the ball, leaving Jon lying on the grass groaning. Ygritte tossed the ball to Sansa, who quickly offloaded it to Theon. Jon sprinted after Theon, attempting to stop him until he was taken pulled to the ground by Rickon, as Robb roared with laughter. Theon scored the first try, to Jon's chagrin. The game continued back and forth, until Jeyne and Sansa gave up, and went inside to check the pasta. Bran's girlfriend called him, so he left and Rickon was knackered after football, so he decide as well to quit. Arya and Ygritte decide to simply watch the boys fight over who had one and sat outside on the patio Gin glasses in hand.

"Do you think that they'll ever stop?" Questioned Arya as she, took a long gulp of her drink.

"Give it half an hour Jon's not fit enough!" Chuckled Ygritte.

"Oi I heard that!" Laughed Jon, giving his girlfriend a cheeky wink.

"How about the Stark's take on the Greyjoy and Waters then?" Offered Ygritte.

"Sounds like a plan!" Cried Robb "Come on Jonny, these two boys have been sleeping with our sisters. It's only fair that we're protective brother after all."

Oh God, Arya thought the last thing she wanted was one of her brothers getting smashed by her new boyfriend, or vice versa.

"Sounds fine with me." Chuckled Theon. "I reckon we need to take these boys down a peg, especially you Robb!" As he fist bumped Gendry whilst doing so.

Robb kicked the ball up into the air once more and Gendry dived to the ground securing it, as he stood up, he saw Robb come charging for him and dodged quickly to the side, sending Robb barrelling to the floor. Arya, Ygritte, Sansa and Jeyne laughed with delight as Robb was left cursing on the ground. Arya heard Gendry yelp, as Jon growled tackling him to the floor.

"Here!" Shouted Gendry, hurling the ball at Theon.

Oh, dear thought Arya, her brother weren't going to be happy. Theon was the fastest out of all of them, as he sprinted off to score another try.

"Whew! That was thirsty work." Smiled Theon jogging back with the ball in hand and helped Robb up off the floor.

"Yeah well we let you have that one." Grunted Robb.

"Well played boys." Laughed Sansa, patting Theon on the back affectionately. "But suppers going to ready in half an hour and you all stink".

"Ugh." Grumbled Theon. "This is going to be my third fucking shower today."

"You just here to use all our hot water Greyjoy?" Laughed Robb, who seemed to have recovered from his loss.

"Nah for your sister!" Cried Theon and then see the look on both Robb and Jon's faces, legged it away.

"Help us out Waters?" Offered Robb as they chased after Theon.

"I think he needs a dip, to cool off!" Cried Jon.

"Did someone say the swimming pool?" Laughed Gendry, as the three boys ran off after Theon. Arya heard a squeal followed by a huge splash and the three sweaty boys and one soaking wet returned.
