Summary: In which five or so years have passed

"Get up."

Gendry groaned beneath her, his eyes fluttering open, and then he jumped, the stupidest expression of half-asleep terror on his face before he scowled, groaning again, and rolled into his pillow, nearly sending her flying. But Arya was quick, and not set off so easily.

"Don't do that," he moaned, pulling his pillow over his head. Arya wrenched it off him, throwing it over her shoulder.

"Go away," he whined. "I'm tired."

"What?" Arya teased, leaning forward and trailing kisses up his arm to his shoulder. "Did I ware you out last night?"

"Go away," Gendry snapped again. "Let me sleep, wench."

Arya laughed.

"Go brush your teeth," she said. "I want to fool around."

Gendry turned around and popped an eye open. Arya grinned. There. That had caught his attention.

"I hardly think that's a good idea," he said, frowning. "Isn't today the day you get married?"

Arya gave him an annoyed huff.

"I thought we weren't going to discuss that," she said, crossing her arms over her chest.

"You've already spent the night here, which was a bad idea from the beginning, and now you want to fool around? We're going to get caught," Gendry pointed out.

"You're such a spoil sport," Arya snapped.

"I just don't want your husband coming in here and taking my head off," Gendry said, grabbing another pillow and putting it under his head.

"Fiancee," Arya corrected him at once. He raised his eyebrows.

"Fiancee," he repeated. "Won't he notice you're gone?"

"I don't know," Arya said, smirking, "he's pretty stupid."

"Well I wouldn't know," Gendry said, trying to put the pillow over his head. "Nor do I care. Now go away."

"No," Arya said, slowly sliding her hand down his naked torso and then down his pants. Gendry's eyes snapped open.

"Do you mind?" he asked, jerking his head around, "I'm trying to sleep here."

"Oh yeah," Arya said sarcastically. "You're really convincing me."

Suddenly, Gendry whipped around, grabbing her hand and sat up, his face inches from hers, and then he flipped her over, dipping his head down and kissing her roughly.

"When did you brush your teeth?" She demanded when he pulled away and he laughed, looking thoroughly pleased with himself.

"An hour ago," he said, grinning, "you were asleep."

"You must think you're so clever," Arya said, not impressed in the least. Okay, so she was a little bit impressed, but he didn't need to know that.

"Oh I don't know," Gendry said, reaching under her shirt and running his fingers over her bare breast.

"Don't play around," Arya snapped, frowning. "As you clearly pointed out, we don't have all day."

"Yeah," Gendry said, pulling off her shirt and then leaving wet kisses on and between her breasts, trailing downward. "We wouldn't want your husband to wake up and find you gone now would we?"

"It'd sort of be a bummer for everyone if I missed the wedding," Arya said, trying to keep her voice steady as he lifted his head up, tugging at her underwear and then sliding his hand between her legs, causing her to gasp.

"Fuck that feels-"

But whatever it felt like was to remain a mystery, as Arya's phone screeched, ringing as loudly as a screaming monkey.

"Shit!" She exclaimed, and, nearly throwing Gendry to the floor, she dove for her phone, snatching it up and answering as fast as she could.

"Hello?"

"Arya! Where are you?"

It was Sansa.

"Oh," Arya said, trying to think of a convincing lie, "I was just out getting coffee."

The other line was dead silent.

"You're at Gendry's again, aren't you?" Sansa demanded, sounding very, very annoyed. Arya winced as she pulled her shirt over her head and Gendry looked appropriately wary.

"No," she said at once, far too quickly.

"Arya," Sansa growled, sounding testy. "Of all days! This is your wedding day!"

"Which is why I wanted to have an evening wedding," Arya said. "Don't worry about it, we have plenty of time."

There was a crunching noise, and Arya guessed Sansa was trying very hard not to strangle her through the phone.

"We've been over this a million times," she snarled, "you know how I feel-"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Arya said, waving her off. "I get it. Save me the morals speech for tomorrow, or never."

"You two have the rest of your lives to shag!" Sansa snapped. "Don't let it ruin your wedding! And Gendry better just come along with you, I don't want him to be late, or hear that he's been tinkering with a car and got all dirty-"

"I do have some control, you know!" Gendry shouted at the phone from across the room.

"I'll see you in an hour," Sansa snapped. "Don't be late."

And then the phone clicked off.

"Drat," Arya sighed. "I'll have to shower. Sansa ruins everything."

"It is your wedding day, after all," Gendry sighed, lying back on the bed, "she just wants it to be perfect."

"It's our wedding day you twat," Arya said, rolling her eyes as he laughed.

"Yeah, and about that cheep shot you threw about your husband being stupid-"

"Fiancee," Arya corrected.

"Husband," Gendry snapped. "And don't even try to argue with me."

"Oh ho ho," Arya said drily, stretching and then taking off her shirt. "Trying to lay down the law now that you're making an honest woman of me?"

"Let's face it," Gendry said, getting up out of bed and coming to her, cupping her breasts in his hands. "You'll never be an honest woman."

"Stop," Arya snapped, pushing him off her. "You heard Sansa. We have to be there in an hour, and we both have to shower."

"We could shower together," Gendry said, grinning. "It'll save time."

"Oh yeah," Arya said, as if remembering something. "That's why I'm marrying you. That and your abs."

"And you're marrying me because you love me," Gendry said, pulling her to him and then kissing her.

"Yeah," Arya relented. "And that too. Now get in the shower."

"As my lady commands!"

And then he ran into the bathroom, as she chased after him, yelling abuse, but laughing all the same.

The end.

Okay... So this was actually going to be my first, and last endeavor on fanfiction. But... I might be persuaded to write more, if you guys would want me to. I have two ideas that I think would be fun/interesting to write.

For the first one I was thinking of doing another Modern AU (I really do write better in a modern voice, I have to admit), but this time, do it like, the entire plot (with heavy Arya/Gendry. Love this pairing) mob style. I don't know, I just feel like I could do a lot of funny/badass stuff with that. Like make it the wolves verses the lions, Ned being retired from the business, but then Rob calling him back in to be his right hand man, and all the Lannister incest fun. And then, pretty early on, I'd have Ned die like he does in the books (sorry Ned), and have Yoren take Arya and disguise her (not as a boy, since she'd be a teenager), and then ask Gendry to protect her, but Gendry really didn't get what he had bargained for. If I were to do that, I'd have to go through the books to make sure that I stayed in character and got certain plot points correct. But I dunno, it could be fun.

The second one would probably be a Ned/Cat story actually, as young people before the time of the books. I really think it would be cool to provide a backstory, mostly in Cat's perspective, of what Robert's rebellion was like, and how it was loosing Brandon and then having to marry Ned instead. It would sort of be like exploring the characters before they were characters in GOT, if that makes sense. Not many, it would seem, are Cat fans, but I really like her, I mean, she's mama Stark after all, and if nothing else she made some pretty kickass kids. And, I guess I could sort of really go for the whole arranged-marriage-angst thing, because they do fall in love in the end.

With both of those, though, I'd have to go through and read through the books again for accuracy's sake, which could take a little while. I'd give myself a month. But what do you guys think? Like those ideas? I might end up doing both simultaneously, but I'd like to hear what you guys have to think, so tell me your thoughts!

I also wrote out, a while ago, a little drabble one-shot for Arya and Gendry, but I hate it, and it'll have to be heavily revised, but if you wanted me to publish that in like, a couple days, I could do that too.
