A/N: Okay, wow. 27 chapters in. How did it get this far?! Thank you for the reviews, favorites, follows…I didn't think I'd even get 10 reviews when I first posted this story. So we're almost at 200 now and you're all making my Gendrya feels go haywire.

Just a bit of a warning: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS SMUT. I suggest you skip the part if you're not into that. I still cringe about writing something like this, but my fangirl heart wins every single time. I just try to make it a little more bearable to read, if it even comes to that.

And with all the thank yous and disclaimers, GRRM is still the man.

ENJOY ;D


"Relax…that's it. Make sure your back is resting fully on the floor and your neck and shoulders are relaxed."

Dany's voice was like a soothing balm moving all over Arya's body. She knew that yoga was supposed to be a good way of relaxation, easing the tension in the muscles without giving her more fatigue and overexertion as is usual for a regular work out. But hell, these positions are damn hard to follow!

Today was Arya and Sansa's third session in a week. Despite the seemingly hard positions Dany makes them do (and she calls them basic, for crying out loud), the Stark sisters were somewhat enjoying these sessions so far.

"You think there's a decent yoga instructor back in the Vale?" Sansa mutters under her breath as she keeps her position for the double leg raise. "I just might keep at this, you know?"

Dany then asks them to do the sarvangasana or the shoulder stand, much to Arya's frustration. She huffs and puffs her way into the position; lying flat on her back before raising her whole body and making it rest on her shoulders, her arms and hands placed on her back for support. She was trying to concentrate because she could actually feel her abdominal muscles working.

"No…idea…" she said as she huffs some more, grunting a bit as she feels her abdominal muscles crunching from the effort.

"That's it now," Dany said, maintaining her perfect form on the mat. "Work those abdominal muscles, yes…don't forget to breathe properly now."

"Have…to…find…out…" Sansa said with much exertion, squeezing her eyes shut as she feels her muscles working. "Oh my god, I'm so out of shape."

"Shut up!" Arya snaps as Dany makes them move into the halasana position or the plough pose. It was the same as sarvangasana, but her legs were extended all the way over her head.

"The halasana streteches your spine," Dany goes on, still with that melodic sing-song voice of hers. It was relaxing, really, especially when she starts to count and Arya can feel herself relax almost to the point of falling asleep. "It will improve the flexibility of your spine. Your thyroid gland and abdomen also benefits from this as it eases the tension on your shoulders and back. Alayne, you might want to relax those abdominal muscles, yes that's it," Dany drones on.

"Hey, maybe your sex life will benefit from this too," Sansa points out to Arya as she keeps the position for a bit longer.

"Do you think I'd be huffing and puffing my way through this class if it wouldn't?"

"Arya, talking will ruin your concentration," Dany called out from the front. "Try to be silent for a few minutes, little wolf."

"I hate when she calls me that!" Arya growls as she lets go of the position for a bit before starting all over again. "She heard Cersei call me that during one of ther sessions."

"Cersei goes here too?" Sansa asked before releasing a deep breath. "Oh gods, this is so hard, somebody kill me now!"

"Huh. Wait till we get to the half spinal twist."

"What?!" Sansa exclaimed much louder than she would have wanted to.

Some of the students started shushing in her direction and Sansa felt her face heat up from embarrassment.

"You Starks are a noisy lot," Dany said, a little irritated now. "The point of this session is to relax, so please, I need you both to be quiet for the duration of the session."

"Sorry," Arya and Sansa muttered the apology.

Dany breathed deeply and exhaled before continuing. "Okay, everybody on your feet now. Come on," she said, as the rest of the class stood on their mats. "This last pose is called trikonasana or the triangle pose." She stretched her legs apart before leaning forward. She placed both hands on the floor before raising one arm, her body twisting towards the direction of her raised hand. The class murmured in awe at her flexibility. After holding the position for a bit, she stood again and motioned for the class to try it.

Sansa and Arya got it pretty quickly, since they were now able to concentrate better on working it rather than spending more energy talking. Arya sneaked a peek at her sister, seeing that she had both her eyes closed in concentration. She then glanced at the other students and almost laughed at the realization that her mind was obviously steering in the wrong direction.

"Psst! Sansa! I bet this would help loads for when Gendry and I finally try it dogstyle," Arya said in a whisper.

Sansa lost control of her balance and the next thing Arya saw and heard was her sister falling on the floor with a loud thud.

"Oh gods, Sansa! Are you alright?" Dany rushed over to Sansa to help her stand.

"I'm good," Sansa mumbled, throwing a death glare towards Arya. "Just lost my balance, is all."

Dany smiled. "It's okay, you'll master this position in no time. Beginners usually fumble through it too, but they get the hang of it with a bit more practice. It is known," she said with a nod of her head. "Okay, that's it for today. I'll see you all at the next session! Have a great day, everyone!"

The others bade each other goodbye; trickling out the door one by one, leaving Dany and the sisters in the room. Dany put her hands on her waist, raising her brows as she faced both sisters. "You both seriously have to start concentrating on your poses and not the chitchat. And yes, Arya, these positions would boost your endurance and flexibility especially in bed," she ended with a wiggle of her brows.

Arya blushed a deep red.

"Trust me," Dany continued. "Drogo loves the dhanurasana. Gendry might love it too."

"The dana what?" Arya asked with a tilt of her head.

Dany laughed. "The dhanurasana. It's the bow pose, because it resembles an archer's bow. You just have to lie face down like this," Dany went on to demonstrate it. "And then you reach back and hold your ankles like this…"

Arya and Sansa's eyes almost bugged out of their sockets.

"Because if you haven't tried any sexual position that doesn't involve you on your back, you seriously need to try this. It usually works better if you have a pillow or something that would give you a little of an angle to the hips. When Gendry enters you from behind, you just feel every single sensation like oh my god!"

Arya and Sansa were looking everywhere but at Dany.

"Um…great! So…yeah…great session today! We'll see you in the next!" Arya said, her voice going up a pitch higher. "Come on, Sansa!" Arya said, practically dragging her sister towards the door.

"Oh my god! That was embarrassing!" Sansa laughed as they walked towards the locker rooms.

"I know! I wanted to bolt out of there even before she went on to demonstrate it! Although…" Arya said with a smirk. Sansa rolled her eyes when Arya started wiggling her brows. "I think it'd be worth a try…"

"Too much info, hello?" Sansa said, pressing her fingers to her temples. "You're giving me a headache with all the sex and Gendry info I've discovered during my stay here."

"Excuse you. I just heard that Sandor, Willas and of course Joffrey, all have a little Sansa crush going on."

"Whatever, Arya."

"Whatever, Sansa. Come on, I need to practice the dhanurasana with Gendry."


"Are you sure you don't want the kiddie special?" Gendry asked as he handed over the money to the girl behind the counter.

Tommen flashed him his most annoyed glare before turning around in search of a free table. He found one towards the far end of the ice cream shoppe. Gendry has just picked him up for guitar lessons and he decided to spend a bit of time with him since he hasn't done so in the past couple of weeks. Tommen slid inside the booth while Gendry took the seat across him, watching as his little brother fiddled with his phone.

"I'm not a kid anymore, Gen," Tommen said indignantly. "I'm almost a man like you and Joff."

"Are not," Gendry said, trying to hold back laughter. He knew how Tommen hated being treated like a kid, and maybe he had a right to be so. Sometimes, Tommen seemed far more mature than him or Joffrey.

"I hate you," Tommen said, folding his arms across his chest and leaning back.

Gendry didn't hold back the laughter this time. "No you don't. I'm your favorite brother because I drive you around town and I treat you to ice cream shoppes."

"Joffrey does that too."

"But does Joffrey give good advice about girls?"

Tommen tilted his head in thought. "Nah. Joff can't even get Sansa to watch a movie with him."

Gendry laughed harder. "True, true! So," Gendry leaned closer, wiggling his brows suggestively. "Do you have a girlfriend or anyone you'd like to hang out with?"

Tommen turned red. "No," he answered quickly because the waitress started handing out their orders.

"Ha! I know you more than you think, little bro. Do you want girl advice?"

"No!"

"Well you're getting one anyway because I'm giving it to you straight up," Gendry said, leaning back on the red cushioned seat. "You can't fool the ladies. Always be on time. Remember dates because they're important and they mean a lot to the ladies-birthdays, anniversaries, the first time you kissed, the first time you had se-okay, never mind. But you hear me, little bro?"

Tommen scrunched up his face in confusion. "Do I need to remember those now?"

"Not really. I was actually reminding myself."

Tommen laughed this time. "You're a goofball."

"Aha!" Gendry said, pointing a finger at his brother. "Being cheesy and fluffy once in a while wouldn't hurt."

"Is that why Robb and Theon call you cheeseball sometimes?"

"They call me that?"

Tommen waved his hands around. "You didn't hear it from me!"

"Huh."

"Gen!"

"Okay! Okay! You better dig in to that ice cream. I have to fetch Arya in half an hour."

"Do you need girl advice?"

Gendry froze, his spoon pausing midway between the bowl of ice cream and his open mouth. "Are you kidding me? Okay, what do you have for me?"

"Don't be late when fetching girlfriends. They'll raise hell if you do."

"Who told you that?"

"Joff."

"Well, shit. Dickwad's got his uses too."


Arya: Are you still with Tommen?

Gendry: Almost done. Where are you? I'll be there in 15.

Arya: No rush. I ran into Edric earlier and we're on our way to this really cool record store down Trident Avenue.

Gendry: I know that place. I'll be there. Wait for me.

Arya: Take your time. I'll see you in about an hour?

Gendry: I'll see you in 15.


"He's kidding, right?" Arya locked her phone screen before putting it back in her pocket. "How in the world will he be able to bring Tommen home first before coming to get me? Fifteen minutes? Is he insane?"

Edric chuckled as he flipped through some old school vinyl. "I told you he hates me. Maybe this is not a good idea, you know. I don't think I'd like my face rearranged courtesy of your boyfriend's fists."

Arya rolled her eyes as she walked the aisle of the new releases section. She wrinkled her nose in disgust at some popstar wannabe. "I have friends too, you know. It's not like he's the only person I'm allowed to hang out with."

"Still. Your boyfriend has some mean biceps on him. I still have a lot of gym hours to do before I get those muscles."

Arya walked back to where Edric was in the old school vinyl section. She picked up an old Beatles record and was instantly reminded of Cersei's birthday party. She skimmed the back part, running a finger down the song titles. "This is pretty cool. Gendry would love this. He mentioned that Robert has an old turntable in the attic that might still be working."

Edric held up a Bruce Springsteen record. "How about some Springsteen?"

"That's so cool! I wish I had a turntable back in Winterfell. I wonder if dad has one," Arya said, carefully grabbing the record from Edric's grasp. "Jon might like this."

"How about this," Edric picked out one with the late Michael Jackson on the cover. "Thriller!"

Arya laughed, extending her hands out to imitate the famous Michael Jackson dance move. "I remember Robb dressing up as Michael from the Thriller video during a Halloween party! That was insane!"

"Arya."

Arya and Edric turned around and saw Gendry standing there, his hands inside his pockets. Arya immediately walked up to him and planted a quick kiss on his mouth. Seemingly discontent with the short kiss, Gendry held her head in his hands and pulled her back towards him for what he thinks is a proper kiss. Arya was surprised by Gendry's need for public display of affection; he's not one for those anyway; but she held on to his waist and kissed him back. She must have heard Edric clear his throat a while later because she tugged the hem of Gendry's shirt and pulled back.

"Hello to you too," Arya said with a smirk, although Gendry didn't return it. She noticed that he wore a dark expression on his face, although he hasn't said anything since he called out her name.

"Gendry," Edric said as he stood with a little distance from them. He sounded and looked a little uneasy, and Arya finally took mercy on him and picked up the records they were looking at.

"These are so cool! I thought about getting you this," she said, holding up the Beatles record and smiled when he took it. "Blackbird's in it."

Gendry only nodded in response, making Arya a little uneasy now. Maybe Edric was right. Maybe he really is jealous.

"Do you need to pick up anything? I just have to pay for these and then we can go," Arya asked him, tilting her head closer to his.

"I'm good," he replied. He reached into his back pocket to take out his wallet, but Arya slapped his hand away.

"I'm paying for this, thank you very much. I'll see you in a bit," she said, hurrying off towards the counter.

"Arya's got pretty good taste in music," Edric said, trying to make light conversation. "We used to play CDs in her room after school. We'd sing too, but it was more like I play guitar and she sings."

Gendry squinted his eyes at him. "You played CDs? In her room?"

"We just listened to music, bro."

"I didn't say anything."

"But you seem to be implying something."

"If that's how you see it, but I don't mean anything by it."

"Well you don't have to be mean, man. Chill," Edric said with a little shake of his head.

Gendry sighed. "I'm sorry. Bad day."

"Look, I get that you're together and I get that you're in love with each other, but we're just friends, alright? We cool?"

"All done!" Arya said, practically skipping all the way back to them.

"Yeah," Gendry said to Edric. "We're cool."


"You don't have to be mean to Edric," Arya said as she closed the door to his room.

Gendry put the records at the foot of the bed before plopping face down on the bed. "I already apologized to him. I didn't really mean to come across as rude."

"But you were jealous?"

Gendry only grunted in response.

"Ha! Admit it! Gendry Baratheon is jealous of Edric Dayne!"

"Shut up," Gendry said, his voice muffled by the bed covers as he lay face down on it.

Arya walked towards the bed, lying on her side beside him so she could look at his face. "Oh! Oh! You are jealous!"

"What if I am?"

"I'd be doing cartwheels right now."

"Then you might as well start now."

Arya laughed before pressing a kiss to his temple. "Edric's just a friend. He's harmless."

"I don't appreciate being laughed at. My feelings are a little sensitive right now."

"My baby's jealous, will you look at that? You're so cute, can I just squishy hug you and keep you in my pocket?"

"Shut up."

"Kiss me first," Arya said with a slight chuckle.

Without another word, Gendry leaned over and kissed her. He kissed her top lip first before moving on to her bottom lip, until he finally placed his mouth firmly over hers and kissed her properly. Arya opened her mouth when he opened his; meeting his tongue with hers when he tilted his head at an angle so he could deepen the kiss even more. She probably had a glass of the sweet, red iced tea she loved because that's what she tasted like at the moment. She heard him groan deep in his throat when she pulled back a bit to sweep her tongue across his bottom lip before lightly tugging it with her teeth. She felt a shiver; maybe it was her, maybe it was him, but she didn't care anymore because Gendry was making her delirious with every sweep of his tongue and the suck of his lips.

"Your brothers?" Gendry rasped out in between kisses.

"Out somewhere," she responded with an equally raspy voice.

"We have time?"

Arya nodded. "We have the entire afternoon."

And just like that, Gendry pulls her on top of him; her legs straddling his waist as he lay there kissing her some more. She feels his hand tug the hem of her shirt upwards; struggling as he tried to lift her shirt and throw it across the room as soon as it was off. She was pulling at his shirt too, until Gendry sat up, breaking the kiss only when he took his shirt off for her. At the same time, her hands were fumbling with the button of his jeans; lifting herself off him so she could tug the material down his legs. Gendry growled when he lost contact with her lips, but as soon as she was back and straddling him again, he took his turn with pulling her shorts down her legs.

Gendry pulled her down on the bed until their positions changed, but Arya, sporting a devilish grin on her face, shook her head and pushed him back so she could try something else.

"I just had a crazy idea back in yoga class," she said, breathing heavily when she felt him grasp her hips closer. "I just want to see if doing it like this would kill me."

Arya turned her back and leaned onto him, almost as if she was sitting astride. When she bent her body forwards, her ass slightly raised so he could get in at a totally different angle. She swears she hears him growl again, and Arya would have laughed if only he didn't have his cock slide slowly inside her. They both make a noise deep in their throat, as they revel in the warm and wet and tight feeling. Arya leaned the side of her face on the mattress; tilting her head up a little so she could watch him. He stared back at her as he started pumping in and out…in and out…in and out…and Arya's breath hitched as she sees him groan and throw his head back with insane pleasure.

"Fuck…" Gendry hissed as he kept up with the motion, his thighs slapping against her ass as his movements turned deeper and faster, his hands grasping her hips tighter. For now, she didn't care if his hands will leave a bruise there afterwards because she was close to peaking and she knew he was too.

"Arya…" he repeated her name over and over, until she feels him tense further, his cock grow harder if it were even possible. Her breaths came in pants, and she was sure she was making incoherent noises because she could feel him so hard in her and he starts to spasm. His movements become erratic until her s, too, become frantic. He removes his grip on her hips and leans forward, reaching around her front until he feels her clit and flicks.

Arya cried out.

Her vision blurs and so she closes her eyes, basking in the feeling of warmth flowing through her, making her feel light and tingly. The feeling was the most intense she's ever had yet; crying out some more when everything within her contracts and bursts. Gendry came with her this time; pulling her body closer as they ride out their orgasm.

Later, when she finds her back to his chest and his arms wound tight around her, she laughs as he demands where she learned that.

"I'm starting to realize that Dany's yoga classes are far more useful than I originally thought."

"No shit. Can I learn yoga, too?" Gendry teased, biting her earlobe as she chuckled a reply.

"Next session's on Sunday. And don't be late. Dany will dhanurasana your ass if you come in late for class."

"Then you can bet the yoga gods that I will dhanura-whateva your ass from today to Sunday."
