ROBB

"Ok you son's of bitches! Practice is over! Try not to injure yourselves opening a can of peanut butter till after the game"- Coach Clegane exclaimed after another harsh football practice before Friday's game. The Winterfell Wolves were one of Westeros's best because they worked the hardest! Coach Clegane's golden rule every day was: puke, blood and tears. If someone was left in that state when practice ended he was satisfied and today it was Theon's turn.

"Only you could go on a Taco Bell binge before practice" Robb chuckled lounging on the bleachers as Theon vomited behind them.

"I was hungry, I hadn't eaten all day!"- He said between hurls.

"You would have eaten something if you hadn't skipped first and second period to get it on with Walda Frey!"- Jon said as always disapproving of Theon's antics.

"I've got it covered!"- He said coming out of the bushes and collapsing beside them.

"We all have the same classes Jon so I can look up at your notes. And if I need a hall pass all have have to do is have Gendry here flirt with the red hot secretary and I'm good. Right Waters? Waters!"- Theon yelled making Gendry snap out of it. He was a quiet one but today he was borderline catatonic.

"Yeah, flirt with Walda! Got it!"- He said standing up as Coach Clegane approached them.

"Coach? Sir? I'd like to continue with the practice sir!"-

"WHAT?!"- They all screeched in unison as Theon ran behind to bushes to vomit again. Clegane eyed them skeptically.

"I think you and Snow could handle it but I don't want to overwork my starters. I want Stark's arm fresh for the game and I think Greyjoy over there just puked what little he had of a brain out"-

"No Sir, I meant with the replacements. It's been a while since they've seen any live play and it won't hurt to have them keyed up for Friday's game if we need to use one of them"- Gendry said as the replacement; mostly freshmen heard the conversation wiggling their tails, salivating on the chance of making the starting team.

"I have a date Waters, I've got no time to babysit!"- Coach Clegane said grabbing his gear.

"I can do it Sir! I know all the drills and I'll store away everything and close the field once we're done"- Gendry said making everyone look at him like he was a madman. Of course; out of all of them Gendry had the best body and stamina, he was a beast! But still they had been grinding all week and even the Coach knew he was pushing it.

"Ok... but I want you calling the plays at QB. Just soft throws through the field got it?"- Clegane said handing Gendry the keys for the locker room.

"Cristal Sir"- Gendry said with a somewhat sinister smile on his face.

"Ok guys; 10 laps around the field then huddle in the middle"- Gendry's voice boomed all over the football field making the freshmen run for their lives.

"What the hell Gendry? Your foster parents kicked you out of the house and you have nowhere else to go?!"- Jon complained because Gendry was their ride since Rob 's car was in the shop after lending it to Theon who in turn returned it without the steering wheel and now they obviously had to stay till he finished up.

"Just trying to do my share with the team"-He shrugged clapping his hands together on jogging back to the field.

"Don't worry Bro, Mom is picking up the girls from their practices so we can hitch a ride with them. We can just stay here till then"

...

It was a normal afternoon. The sun was setting, Theon kept on vomiting, Jon was doing his homework while Robb watched along with Sansa who had an early cheer-leading meeting; as Gendry conducted a practice game with the freshmen. Gendry was the defensive tackle; thanks to his size and built but as Clegane ordered he was acting as quarterback calling the shots and going over various plays. Robb was the QB; and a pretty good one but it was Gendry who had the scouts salivating over him since he had all the tools to make it pro. That and that the guy really had a knack with coaching as he would normally sit with Rob and discuss various formations before a game.

"Uhmmmm I know I'm not a football nerd like Arya but... Isn't this quite intense for a practice?"- Sansa grimaced after one of the youngest guys, was knocked down to the floor for the seventh time in less then 5 minutes.

"It football Sans, not ballet. We wear helmets for a reason" He said chuckling at his sister's disapproval of their favorite sport.

"I kind of get what Sansa is saying man, I mean; Gendry is really making them work! He's changing the offensive on every run. I think he's inventing the plays as he goes!"- Jon said peeking up from one of his books.

His brother was right! Gendry was throwing calls left and right confusing everyone leaving them no option than every man for himself, running, tackling and reaching for the ball.

"That poor guy is taking a beating! What's his name?"- Theon said finally being able to hold down what was left in his stomach.

"He's new, I think he's in Arya's grade. Edric something..."- Sansa said as the poor guy took another hit that sent him flying in the air like Charlie Brown. Gendry was sending all the balls his way and he was being desecrated by the defense.

"Take five! Walk it out!"- Gendry said running to where they were, grabbing a bottle of water just in time Arya arrived possibly more dirtier than all of them from her fencing practice.

"You are inside a gym with air conditioning. How is it that you end up knee deep in dirt?" Robb said as he chuckled at his little sister's attire.

"You don't wanna know what Coach H'ghar makes me do. TRUST ME!"- She said taking a water bottle Gendry offered her and as always immersing themselves in their little world of small talk until they where interrupted.

"Arya?"- The focus of Gendry's practice came wobbling over to greet the little's Stark.

"Edric? Hey! I didn't know you were trying out for the team!"- Arya said surprising them all since she never opened up to new people.

"Yeah it was a spur of the moment kind of thing. You; know, trying something different. I was actually hopping to see you around since you told me your brothers were on the team."-

"Yup, this is pretty much us wolves minus two. This is my sister Sansa and my brothers Robb, Jon, Theon and Gendry"-

"Edric Dayne; it's my pleasure to meet you. I've heard a lot of Arya's sister and even more about her brothers"- He said taking off his helmet honestly making everyone flinch as his blonde hair reminded then all too much of Joffrey but Arya didn't seem to mind.

"I'm not her brother and you need to go back to the field... NOW!"- Gendry growled standing up and stomping off to the field.

"What's eating him?"- Theon asked. Arya only shrugged.

"It's Gendry being Gendry, he's been having weird mood swings lately. Better go back there Ed!"- Arya said shrugging.

"Hey... cheer after me while I play?"- Edric said making them all snicker. Arya's interest in boys was non existent.

"You heard him Sansa; cheer away!"-Arya said blowing him off and going over to the side to stretch her aching muscles.

"Can I give you a ride home?"- He asked.

"Sure..."- Arya replied non committed.

The practice continued and by now Gendry was even worse than Clegane, several players were crawling after the ball and some were actually seasick from running around. Robb noticed Arya who was lost in her own world go over Gendry's gym back and grab a clean shirt to wear. She took her own sweaty jersey off showing her sport bra and her toned abs not going unnoticed. Poor Edric was drooling over the field at Arya when the football not only landed smack on his chest but was tackled by the three defensive men at the same time. Even Arya heard the blow and she had her headphones on!

"Holy shit! Are you ok?! Can you breathe?"- Everyone asked surrounding Edric who looked purple struggling for air.

"He's fine, just give him air to breathe! It's ok buddy, let it out - let it out!"- Jon said helping the poor guy sit up as Robb watched intently what was happening. He was after Winterfell's starting quarterback; there was no way in hell he would have missed the way Gendry purposely changed the play at the last second that even Edric didn't know the ball was coming his way, he practically tipped the defense where he was throwing the ball. The poor guy was a walking bulls eye.

Robb walked over to where Gendry was alone finally calling the practice off and picking up the gear.

"So I thought the plan was to warm up the replacements not nearly kill them"

"C'mon man... If I fall don't you want someone on the field who has your back? A little push doesn't hurt anybody"- He smirked picking up his bag. They heard a honk as Catelyn finally arrived.

"Hey Ar; coming with me or with your mom?"- Gendry asked already picking up her things.

"Mom's choice of music and a full car with the rest of these idiots?! Lead the way Waters!"-

"As you wish M'lady!"-

They left arguing as Robb himself volunteered to take poor Edric to the nurse's aid where the world's creepiest male nurse Varys took a quick check up and gave him some pain killers.

"Poor master Dayne. He really should avoid sports with such ruthless opponents"-

"It was just a friendly practice Mr. Varys; a warming up for Friday's game"

"Friendly? I take it is was young Water's in charge of the practice?"- Varys asked with a knowing look.

"He was been friendly all week! Friendly with the Targaryen boy drilling a tennis ball to his head, friendly with one of the Frey boys whom he almost chocked to death in a wrestling match and let's not forget about Ramsay Bolton whom he was friendly enough to delicately run a hockey puck through his mouth... Yes, quite the people person that one!"- Varys laughed off as Robb walked back to the car were his mother was waiting.

Well that was odd, Gendry seemed to be going on a mean streak which didn't go at all with his personality. And what about his supposed targets? they didn't have anything in common; Aegon Targaryen was laid back and kind of a loner, Elmar Frey was a bookworm that sometimes studied with Arya while Ramsay Bolton was the school's bully. Gendry did have a scuffle with Ramsay months ago over something to do with Arya. Maybe?...

"Where is your sister?"- Catelyn asked as they where all buckled up inside of the SUV.

"She went off with Gendry; she'll be back for dinner"- Jon said messing around with Theon on the back seat.

"Ohh well, I hope she doesn't eat any junk food"- Their mother said heading back home.

Her lightness bothered Robb a bit, didn't they just go through hell with Sansa and the whole Joffrey debacle? Maybe they should be more weary of what Arya and Gendry did when they were alone, even more now that Gendry had a hobby of landing people on the nurse's bed.

"Uhmm mom?" He asked while the car was filled with various conversations.

"Yes dear?"-

"Doesn't it bother you that Arya spends so much time with Gendry?!" He said in a low tone. Not wanting the others to hear him.

"Why should it? It's Arya you are talking about my Dear! Anything that happens to her while in Gendry's company is product of her own doing, the Mott's are the ones who should worry."- Catelyn said not being able to hide the little smile that slipped on her face because of Arya's antics. The conversation was left at that and soon they arrived home.

As he was going up to his room it was Sansa who dragged him over to the kitchen were they were alone.

"I heard what you talked with Mom"-

"Sansa I didn't mean to pry, let alone remind you of what you've went through I just..."

"Shut up Robb! I learned my lesson and Arya isn't me!"-

"What's that supposed to mean?" Robb asked not sure what to make of Sansa's big smile.

"It means that you and I are going on a little mission!"- She said squealing jumping up and down.

"Ok. Now I'm confused!"

"Of course you are"- She said rolling her eyes. "You and I are going to help Gendry vent his frustrations in a more healthy way where everybody is happy and no one ends with a concussion."- Robb was still clueless as hell when Sansa pulled a move often used by Arya and smacked strait in the head.

"Jesus Sansa, what the hell was that for?!" He said standing back in case of another hit.

"Gendry likes Arya you idiot! For God's sake what is it with you men that always need a little push?!"- Sansa said exasperated rambling on as she went to her room.

Aegon had a thing for Arya, Elmar liked her more than getting strait A's, Ramsay seemed to be incapable of leaving her alone in a weird passive / aggressive way and Edric; yeah... poor Edric! Holy shit! Gendry likes my baby sister! And I don't know how to feel about that!

"Hey Sans wait up. We need to talk about this!"

"Of course we do, we are going to have the most gorgeous nieces and nephews!"-
