Chapter 9

Arya sighed as she checked her phone.

'Still nothing, well, Gendry could be busy, most likely driving, but still…' She thought to herself.

She fidgeted in her seat, impatient; trying to distract herself she considered what had just happened; the little 'meeting' she had just had.

'Well, it's done, thank the Gods for that, now…' She thought to herself. 'We just need to let things calm down; they realize now, they've got no choice but to accept things.'

Sansa smiled as she noticed Arya's distraction and spoke.

"Arya, calm down; everything's fine." She said. "I'm actually very impressed, you did great."

Arya smiled lightly. "Thanks Sansa, I guess…yeah; it's just I'm…"

Sansa gave her an understanding nod. "I know Arya, I know what's troubling you. Gendry and the others will be on their way back, he's driving, that's why he can't call or text."

Arya smiled; she knew Sansa was right. It was then their mother entered.

"Arya, you better get ready soon, it's almost time." She said.

Arya blinked and looked up at the clock. "Time…?"

Catelyn shook her head. "Your lessons."

Arya started. "Holy sh-cow!"

She hurried upstairs, she was so caught up with this little meeting she'd almost forgotten about her fencing lessons. She got all her equipment ready and hurried downstairs, her mother was waiting, smiling as she held her car keys.

"C'mon, I'll drive you."

Arya was surprised by this and grinned. "Thanks mum."

They headed out to the car and Catelyn began the drive.

As they were on their way, Arya looked out of the window, reflecting on how much things had changed with her mother.

'When mum first found out about me and Gendry, she was furious.' Arya recalled sadly. 'There was so much yelling, so many arguments; I couldn't see what the problem was, yeah he was older than me, so what? He lives in Flea Bottom, I get that, it's dangerous, but it's not his fault.'

She glanced over at her mother who was smiling serenely as they drove.

Her thoughts continued. 'Yet finally things all changed, once they had time to get used to idea, once they accepted that I loved Gendry and wasn't going to back down. When she actually saw us together, mum changed. Now she's our biggest supporter.'

Catelyn kept her eyes on the road; her thoughts however were on her youngest daughter.

'Arya was always such a quiet girl, she kept things inside, she was private, didn't like letting people in, not even family.' She recalled sadly. 'Then Gendry came and he somehow got past her defences; it was like, he knew just what she needed and gave it to her. I just wish we all could have seen that was the case right away, especially me. I was so blind; I couldn't see how Arya was so much happier with him…But I do now, and I will do everything I can to protect that, no matter what.'

She parked the car outside the fencing school and turned to look at Arya.

She froze however when she noticed something, there were marks on Arya's necks.

They looks like bruises or, or…surely not.' She noted before asking. "Arya, what's that, on your neck?"

"Huh?" Was Arya's eloquent reply, before realizing. "Oh, mum, I…"

She quickly raised her hand to cover them, but it was useless, she blushed and Catelyn knew her suspicions were confirmed, hickeys.

She shook her head, almost laughing. "Gods…"

Arya bit her lip. "I um, I should go…I'll be late."

Catelyn just nodded, deciding to drop the subject and watched as Arya fetched her equipment and headed inside. She smiled, she knew Arya had a big fencing match this evening; if she won it meant her class would be considered eligible for the regional championship. After about a minute, Cat made up her mind, got out of the car, locking it, and head inside to watch and support her daughter from the side lines.


Arya couldn't stop smiling; she had been surprised to see her mother there, watching with the others. It had lifted her spirits immensely, especially since her mother didn't normally come to watch her. Not only that, her team won too. She was currently at home, having a bath as she relived all of it in her mind.

'It's incredible; I can't describe how it feels, it's just…amazing. Better than anything though, mum was there, she came to watch me.' She thought to herself.

Still smiling Arya finished her bath and let the water away, getting out and drying herself she pulled on a simple dressing gown and headed downstairs. Her timing was perfect, for at that moment, the front door opened and the guys arrived home.

"Hey, welcome back." She greeted them with a grin.

They all replied happily, replies which continued when Ned, Catelyn and Sansa entered the hall. Arya smiled at Gendry, approaching him.

"Good to see you back." She said softly.

He smiled and nodded. "It's good to see you again too."

They then kissed and after a brief pause, Arya asked. "So, how was it?"

"Pretty good, we had fun." Gendry replied, smiling.

Arya grinned. "Glad to hear it."

They then joined the others and joining in the conversation.

Later that night, Arya and Gendry had slipped away from the conversation and were up in her room. Both seated on her bed; they kissed again.

"So, I heard about your…little meeting." Gendry remarked. "I'm glad things went well."

Arya nodded. "Me too; now it looks like, finally, the message has sunk in."

Gendry laughed. "Good. So, anything else?"

"You need to be more careful." Was Arya's reply. "Mum saw the hickeys, so no more, understand."

Gendry smirked and began kissing her again, softly, along her jaw. "Can't promise anything."

Arya laughed too. "Well, there is something else, my fencing team won our competition, you know what that means."

"Of course I do, I remember, good job" He said excitedly.

They continued kissing and before long it became a full on make out session. Then, without warning, Arya began removing Gendry's clothes. While initially surprised, Gendry responded in kind, removing her dressing gown, they resumed kissing and soon they were both naked. They paused long enough for Gendry to get a condom from Arya's drawer and pull it on and soon they continued, not letting anything stop them as they took the next step.
