Chapter 10: Unfortunate Encounters

Rickon sighed as he finally entered the house. It was Friday, four days after the incident with Lyanna Mormont. Arya hadn't been able to give him a lift today and so he was forced to walk home. He smiled to himself as his thoughts wandered to Shireen.

'She's getting more confident every day.' He thought happily. 'More outgoing, more…sexy.'

He smirked at that; the more he saw of Shireen the more he wanted to make her happy. That meant suppressing his natural urges towards her until she was ready. Impatient as he was, he wasn't going to force Shireen to do anything she didn't want to do. He began to hear up to his room, noting Bran and Meera sitting together in the living room, watching TV. Meera's head was on Bran's shoulder while Bran smiled, playing with her hair. He shook his head, smiling at the gentle love Bran and Meera displayed to each other; it was definitely different from the way Arya and Gendry acted. He wondered how his relationship with Shireen was; if it was like Bran and Meera's, or more likely, somewhere between the other two couples. He and Shireen were a little more outgoing in public about their love than Bran and Meera after all. Finally he reached his and Bran's room and opened the door. He froze in shock and disbelief at what he saw.

Arya and Gendry were in his room; one of three places, so far, they had not had any sort of sexual interaction. Right now Gendry's eyes were closed and he was groaning; Arya was on top of him, on his bed. Not Bran's which had likely seen sexual actions already, from Bran and Meera, but his. Rickon felt his voice stick in his throat when he realized what they were doing. Arya was giving Gendry oral sex, in his and Bran's bedroom; on his bed. Before Rickon could recover and run; Gendry opened his eyes and saw him.

"A-Arry!" he cried out.

Arya also opened her eyes and let out a choked gasp when she saw Rickon. There was a flurry of activity as Rickon finally tore his eyes off the disturbing sight. He groaned and fought to control himself. When he opened his eyes again Arya and Gendry were fully dressed and standing in front of him.

"Rickon, I-We…" Arya began.

Rickon finally found his voice. "What the fuck Arya, I'm scarred for life now."

Arya frowned. "C'mon, you've seen us like this before."

"Not on my bed, or you doing…that!" He shot back. "Ugh, I feel so violated."

Arya and Gendry shared a look and then laughed. Arya smiled coyly.
"You know what Rickon; you need to get some yourself."

Rickon groaned again and fled, he felt the sudden desire for a shower; a cold shower.

He hurried to the bathroom; removed his clothes and hurried under the shower. His thoughts were stuck on what he had seen. Worse than that, Arya's statement had inflamed him, brought back his desires for Shireen. He even found himself picturing himself and Shireen in the exact same position as Arya and Gendry had been.

'What the hell am I doing? I can't think like that, not now.' He thought desperately. 'Okay, calm down, I just need to calm down, not think about it.'

He continued to allow himself to relax under the shower and finally felt himself calming down again. He breathed a sigh of relief and finally finished his shower. He got out and towelled himself dry. He knew Arya and Gendry would have left his room by now. He wrapped the towel around his waist and hurried back to his room, it was mercifully empty. He breathed a sigh of relief; hoping he would be able to get to sleep tonight. Knowing what had occurred on his bed was likely to stick in his mind for a long time.

'Well, they'll likely try again some other time.' He thought forlornly. 'They've not successfully had sex in here yet. Just hope they pick a day I'm out. I don't want that to happen again, ever.'

Rickon didn't know what repulsed him more, the fact he had just seen a sexual act take place, or the fact it was his sister he had seen. He shook his head and began to take the towel off. The moment he made that motion however the bedroom door opened and Shireen walked in.

Shireen gasped ash Rickon's face went as red as his hair and he hastily pulled the towel back around himself; covering his manhood. Shireen also blushed and began stammering.

"R-Rickon, I…I just…"

Rickon too found himself stammering. "Shireen, I'm sorry, I just, I didn't mean…"

Rickon realized; to his horror, just how close he had come to exposing himself, to his girlfriend of all people. Finally he composed himself.

"Look, I'm sorry; I didn't mean that, I didn't know you were coming." He managed to explain. Shireen nodded; her face still rather red.

She finally composed herself too. "I'll leave so you can get dressed."
He nodded and she did so. He quickly removed the towel and pulled his clothes on, finally he relaxed and headed out of the room. Shireen stood there and smiled when she saw him.

"There, that's better." He said, trying to keep his voice calm, but failing miserably.

Shireen noticed and smiled reassuringly. "Yeah, sorry, I shouldn't have just barged in like that…I didn't see anything, if that's what you're worried about."
Rickon just nodded, clearing his throat and took her hand. They headed down to the kitchen. There was a pause while they got something to eat and Rickon finally spoke.

"Shireen, I need to talk to you about these…problems with Lyanna Mormont." He explained. Shireen nodded, she knew it was coming, she just hoped Rickon had a solution.

"I…I know you're nervous, but you can't just let her yell at you and push you around." He stated. "You need to stand up for yourself. I'm not always gonna be there to protect; neither is Arya or all the others."

Shireen nodded again, she knew he was right.

He smiled again. "Don't worry I'll help you. You just need to build your confidence even more; I can help you with that."

Shireen agreed, hopefully next time Lyanna Mormont got in her face, Shireen would be able to hold her own. She tried not to think about what might have happened upstairs; but it wasn't easy. It was the first time she had seen Rickon without any article of clothing; the thought of it sent a strange thrill through her body. She forced herself to concentrate however; she needed to grow more confident, she knew that. She no longer hid her Greyscale; something her mother was shocked and appalled about, now if she could just find the confidence to stick up for herself. She thought maybe then, she would feel, without any doubt, that she deserved Rickon.

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