Arya stretched herself as she slowly woke up. Still tired, but she didn't want to sleep. She needed to move, run, fight. Anything. She needed movement and bring her back. She turned to the side and found Gendry, gently snoring and snickered. He hated to be tickled. So it shouldn't be hard to guess how he would wake up.
"AAAAAH!" A high pitched scream was pierced the idyllic morning from inside the of house; all the Starks on the patio rushed into Arya's room expecting to find her in tears and Gendry hurting her. Prepared to fight, Robb and Jon entered first with their father, followed by Theon and Catelyn. What they saw was not at all they expected.
Arya was cackling, Gendry telling her to stop tickling her in false desperation, and the Starks knew Arya was finally beginning to feel okay. Gendry was the one who screamed, and quite high, he did.
Jon, Theon, and Robb were laughing outright at Gendry, whose face went from a light pink to a deep red. Ned and Catelyn were chuckling at the door, looking upon a scene they never expected to see. Sansa, Bran and Rickon rushed in, looking at Arya on the ground, laughing uncontrollably.
It was a good day for the Starks, a day better than most.
After breakfast and an embarrassing episode for Gendry, Arya changed into a set of training clothes. She needed to run. She needed to get her blood pumping and going. She needed to go back into routine.
Plugging in her headphones to her iphone, she needed a song to get her moving. It would be a long run around Red Keep Park and back. Almost an hour of non-stop running.
The first notes of Radioactive by Imagine dragons filled her ears. She placed her iphone in the pocket and went off. "I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones/Love to make my systems go." Yes, she was waking up. This was exactly what she needed.
Gendry took to the gym. Red Keep park was always guarded by the king's men, and Robert was sure to have made extra precautions. He took to working his upper body. He needed to be able to protect Arya if it ever happened again.
He was covered in sweat at the end of his hour and half workout session. He was shirtless and working non-stop. It had taken Robb, Theon and Jon, who were also bulking up for Arya and possibly Sansa, to stop him form hurting himself.
"Quit trying to kill yourself Gendry. You're not the only one who wants to protect Arya." chuckled Theon. "We're all pretty strong guys; the four of us can take Ramsay any day."
Robb squinted at Theon. Maybe Theon didn't know yet...but it was not the time to discuss Ramsay Snow, especially in public. Information this dangerous can only be shared in secret.
"Get your Baratheon ass out of this gym and head over to your place for lunch eh?" asked Jon, as the rumble of hunger filled the bellies of all four sweaty, smelly boys.
