This prompt is a response to meli-fan (winginoverthings on tumblr), (16/March/2014): "She's a rainbow (rolling stones). Arya/Gendry. Artsy school AU (she can be a dancer and him-whatever, idk, whatever pleases you)" - this is a prompt based on a song, this case "She's a rainbow" from Rolling Stones; also this is in the same world as chapter 2 - Art School (Aegon and Arya as roommates, he's dating Myrcella and she's dating Gendry)


Gendry had been waiting for twenty minutes for the show to start, and he was getting annoyed it was taking so long, he tried texting Arya but she didn't answer - he guessed she was too busy

"Gendry!" He heard someone yelling, he turned and found Myrcella

"You're late."

"Didn't Arya tell you that this stuff always starts thirty minutes late."

"No…" He answered her, giving her space to take her seat next to him. And it made sense why the auditory was so empty. "Is Aegon coming?"

"No. He stayed backstaged helping with the set."

A few minutes after the lights finally went out, and Gendry checked his phone, turning off the sound, and waited for her to finally appear.

The curtain opened and the scenery was a big rainbow, and people starting to enter the stage, Gendry streched a bit over the chair at the front so he could look for her, until he heard Myrcella whisper.

"She's in blue." So Gendry looked for her in the five girls in blue, and quickly found her, Arya looked different with her hair actually combed, and not in the rat nest he had always known, but she still was his girl.

He couldn't believe how the girl who always walked making so much noise, who punched his chest so strongly, and could be so angry when she wanted, could seem so innocent, and free, and light when she was dancing. Of course, he had seen her dance before while training either in her flat or his, or in the garage or even when she still lived at home, but this was the first performance he got to watch and she looked amazing.

"She looks beautiful, doesn't she? You couldn't guess how nervous she had been these past few weeks." Myrcella said.

"Yes, she does…" She looked beautiful, but it was still clear to him she was nervous, even from afar he could sense her biting her lip.


After her class' performance, he sat through the others, waiting to finally hug and congratulate her on her remarkable job.

So now he and Myrcella made their way to the doors that led backstaged, waiting for Arya (and Aegon); Gendry had still in his hands the flowers he had bought (and a box of McNuggets, that he knew she would want, but that hadn't had in reggard the fact that they would get cold).

Aegon was the first of two leaving the doors, he kissed Myrcella's lips and slapped Gendry on the back.

"She's just finishing cleaning the make-up and hair, she said to tell you she would be done in ten minutes."

"Thanks." Gendry told him. "Guys, if you wanna go ahead and reserve a table for us, I can wait for Arya, we will meet you there." They agreed and stood up, making their way out of the room - hand in hand.

Gendry waited, seeing all the other dancers pass by lauging and smiling, excited they had done such a great job, until she came up, running from the doors, Gendry quickly stood up from the seat he had taken, and caught her when she came running to him, smiling

"So how did I do? Did it bored you to death? Did my hair looked ridiculous? Did I…" But Gendry stopped her, by kissing her lips.

"You were perfect, Arry. I really liked it, you need to invite to me to see every one of this things."

"Thanks, Gendry. Maybe the next time will be hip-hop. I think you would like that more."

"Probably…" He told her, before remembering what he had on his hands, "Flowers," he said giving her a boquet of blue roses, "and McNuggets, I'm sorry but I think they're cold."

"They are perfect," she said, opening the box and stuffing her mouth with nuggets. "I'm starving, they wouldn't let us eat."

"I'm glad, Aegon and Myrcella are guarding the table for us."

"So let's go." She said, pushing him by the hand. "By the way, also the love the flowers, Gendry, they're beautiful." She told him smiling, before stuffing two more McNuggets in her mouth.
