Chapter 1

Sansa Stark POV

I'm packing for modeling camp in my room and talking to Arya. I'm so excited, this is going to be so much fun.

"Are you excited?" Arya asks me.

"Yes!" I say. "Of course, me talking about this all year hasn't given you the idea that I'm excited?"

"It has," she says. "I'm just really going to miss you."

"I'll miss you too," I say. "But I know you don't want to come with me."

"No," she quickly responds. "That camp honestly sounds like a nightmare, but I'm really glad you get to go." I smile and roll my eyes at her, at least she's honest.

There's a pause. "Can I ask you something?" She finally says.

"What's up?"

She clears her throat. "I wanted to have Gendry over while you were gone," she says, lowering her voice. "I wanted him to sleep over, I think can do it without mom and dad noticing."

"So what did you want to ask me?"

"I wanted to make sure it was okay with you," she says. "It's your room, too."

"Yeah, I don't care," I say as I continue to pack. "But I think that's a huge risk."

"Why?"

"Mom and dad could easily find out," I respond. "They would absolutely kill you. Plus, Jon will also be home a lot. I don't even want to think about what he'd do if he found out you were sneaking a guy over, especially Gendry."

"Jon's been sleeping at Dany's a lot more," Arya says. "I could sneak Gendry over one of those nights."

I shrug and zip up my suitcase. "If you want to take that risk, go for it," I say. "I'll plan your funeral when you and Gendry get murdered."

Arya laughs, but I'm serious. Jon and Robb would've never tried something like that, I guess that's what it's like being a younger sibling.

"Are you going to hang out with Bran and Rickon while I'm gone?" I ask. Arya used to hang out with them a lot when we were younger, we had less in common back then.

"Probably," she says. "But I know they also have summer camp and baseball practice." Oh, that's right. I always forget the stuff they're into since we aren't that close.

"I hope I get to see Dany and Margaery more after modeling camp," I say. "I didn't get to see them much during the school year."

"Oh, right," Arya says. "Just at least warn me if Margaery is coming over."

"I will," I respond. "But I'll try to avoid you guys having to cross paths."

"Thanks, I appreciate that."

I head downstairs where my parents are waiting and get in the car. It's about 45 minutes to where the camp is, I feel like this will be the longest drive of my life with how excited I am.

…

We pull up to the camp, it's happening at an old art gallery and we're staying in an old dorm building nearby. It's cool how they've converted the space, this will be a fun home for me for the next few weeks.

We check into the old dorm where I'll be staying and then drop off my suitcase in the room that I've been assigned to. After dropping it off, I'll be heading to the introductory orientation meeting.

"Are you going to be okay?" My mom asks me as I set my suitcase next to my bed.

"Yeah," I say. "Why wouldn't I be?"

"We just worry about you," my mom says, fixing my hair a little. "We want to make sure something like this doesn't make you backslide."

"Mom, we talked about this. How many times do I have to say I'll be fine?" I may be snapping at her, but we've already had this conversation and I really don't want to have it again.

"Sansa," my dad says. "We need to make sure you'll be okay since we can't monitor your eating here, we have a right to be worried. We're trusting you, please don't break that."

I pause and look at my dad. I don't like talking about this, but I want him to trust me so that we don't have to talk about it anymore. Yes I had issues with food, but it seems like I can't move on from that because they won't let me.

"Dad," I say. "I promise I'll be fine."

"Okay," he says. "We trust you."

I give my parents a hug and they head out. I'm glad we had all this drama before my roommate comes in, that isn't what I want to give as the first impression of me to the other girls here.

I'm still so excited, once I unpack a little I'll head to the meeting. This will be a lot of fun, and I really hope I can make some actual friends while also learning more about the modeling industry.

Jon Snow Stark POV

Dany and I are going out for lunch today, it'll be nice to have a real date again by ourselves. Afterwards I want to show her a couple of the apartments I found and maybe book a tour or two.

"So you've been looking at apartments online?" She asks as we get into my car. She came over and then we're coming back here after lunch.

"Yeah," I say, starting the car. "I'll show you the ones I have saved later."

"Okay, cool."

We get to the restaurant and sit down. We order a couple of diet cokes and take a look at the menu, not saying much. It's comforting that we can sit in silence sometimes and have it not be awkward, just enjoying each other's presence.

"So are you going to hang out with the guys more this summer?" Dany eventually asks me.

"Yeah, I think so," I say. "We've been talking a little more about it."

"That'll be fun," she says. "Hopefully Sam will have more time now that he's in more of a routine with the baby, I assume."

"Yeah, I think things are going a little smoother now. We've been texting some, and I think Gilly is adjusting better to motherhood. He said she was kinda depressed for a while."

"That makes sense," Dany says. "Being a new mother is a lot to handle."

I'm nervous for when Dany and I get there. I know it'll be a while, but I'd hate to see her lose her spark. I'm sure we'll be ready when it happens, but Sam's experience has shown me how hard it can really be.

We order our food and start eating. "So are you going to hang out with the girls more this summer?" I ask Dany.

"Probably," she says. "I've been missing hanging out with Margaery and Sansa. I'll probably still have to hang out with Cersei, even though I see her all the time."

"Is she doing any better?"

"A little," Dany says. "She's just always been a lot to handle, and I'm worried being around Tyrion and her father will make things bad again."

"Why would that make it worse?"

"She doesn't like being around them," she says. "I don't blame her, I just don't want to deal with her mental instability."

That seems a little harsh, but I get where she's coming from. She's had to take care of Cersei a lot, so it makes sense that she wouldn't want to during the summer when she's supposed to be relaxing.

We get back to my place, luckily my brothers and parents aren't home so we have a least a little privacy. We start making out and then move to my bed.

"Do you want to?" I ask as I'm on top of her. She just nods.

We end up not using a condom since Dany's on the pill, we just got a little caught up in the moment. This is only the second time that's happened. I get worried about it, but I know Dany takes her pill religiously and I make sure to pull out. I know I love Dany and would be there for her if something were to go wrong, but that chance is very slim.

Daenerys Targaryen POV

We're sitting in Jon's room after having sex, he's on his computer looking at apartments. "I have a couple pages bookmarked," he says. "Come look."

I walk over to his desk and look at his computer. He has a studio apartment layout bookmarked. "That looks nice," I say. "A little small, though."

"I know you're a rich girl," Jon says, chuckling. "We won't get something nice immediately, though."

"I know," I say, pushing him lightly. "I think it's a nice place."

"There's also this one," Jon says, moving to another tab. This page has a layout of a one-bedroom apartment.

"I like that one better," I say. "It's a little more expensive, though."

"Do you want to look at one tomorrow?" Jon asks me.

"Sure," I say. "How far away is it?"

"Close to campus," he says. "So a little bit of a drive, but I don't mind."

I didn't think about how when we tour apartments we're going to have to make the drive from Winterfell to closer to my school. It's a little iconvenient, but I'm glad it isn't a problem for him at least.

"Okay," I say. "Book a tour."

"How does 2:30 tomorrow sound? That's the closest slot they have open."

"Sounds good." I walk away from the desk and sit on his bed.

He books the tour and then sits next to me and gives me a hug. "I'm really excited for this," he says.

"Me too," I say. "Are you just excited so we can have sex like we just had all the time?" I laugh, it's sort of a joke.

"No, I'm excited because I love you," he says. "Although that is definitely a plus."

"I love you more."

"Definitely not."

We kiss and cuddle for a bit before I have to leave. I promised my dad we'd have dinner with my aunt, and Jon has his own family dinner. I'm glad we booked this tour, it feels good to know this plan is actually being put into motion. It feels more real.

Arya Stark POV

I'm waiting outside for Gendry to pick me up, we're going to smoke and probably have sex by the creek. I miss going there after school, we have to go out of our way to sleep together now that school is over. This is why I want to try to sneak him into my room while Sansa is gone, it would be nice to have a bed together.

Dany walks out of the front door and closes it behind her. "Hey, Arya," she says when she sees me. "What are you doing out here?"

"Just waiting for Gendry," I say. "We're going to hang out for a bit."

"Oh, cool," Dany says. "So things are still going well with him?"

"Yeah," I respond. "How about with Jon?"

"Things are going great," she says. "We're going to start touring apartments tomorrow."

"Oh, awesome," I say. Gendry drives up and I get up. "Bye."

"Bye."

I get into Gendry's car and we head to the creek. We walk over there and light up our cigarettes. I'm still hoping I can take some home soon, I think he's hesitant because he doesn't want Jon or my parents to find them.

"So has Sansa left yet?" Gendry asks me as we start smoking.

"Yeah," I say. "She left yesterday."

"Is it weird having the bedroom all to yourself?"

"Yeah, a little," I say. "But that's actually something I wanted to talk to you about."

"What?" He asks. "Why would you want to talk to me about that?"

"I wanted to ask if you wanted to come sleep over at some point while Sansa is gone."

"Really?" He asks. "Your parents would be okay with that?"

"Well, no," I say. "But you could sneak in. There's a ledge you can climb up to the window to my room, that's how I sneak out to meet you when we usually come here."

There's a pause as he keeps smoking. "I don't know," he says nervously. "I'm really not sure that's a good idea."

"My parents wouldn't find out," I say. "If they wanted to come in, you could go in the closet. They never try to come in our room."

"Well isn't Jon going to be there a lot now that it's summer?"

"He goes to Dany's house for the night a lot," I say. "You could come when he's there."

"I don't know, Arya," he says. "That seems pretty risky."

"Will you at least think about it? I could let you know when Jon is gone."

"Sure," Gendry says. "I guess."

"I just want to take advantage of having my room to myself," I say. "We don't get a bed very often, and I don't get chances like this a lot."

"I know, and I wish we had a bed too," he says. "I just don't want to get you in trouble."

I roll my eyes and we keep smoking. We end up going to the woods and having sex. It's very enjoyable for me, but I keep thinking how much better it would be if we had a bed. My bed is small, but it would still be better than the woods on a blanket.

We go home and he pulls up to my house, we kiss goodbye. "Bye," I say. "Think about what I said."

"I will," he says. "Bye, Arya."

I head back inside. I hope Gendry agrees, it would be a lot of fun for us. It may be risky, but I have to sneak around if my parents won't let me make my own decisions. At least I'm being safe with him, they should just be happy about that.

A/N: And it's begun! Let me know what you think of this first chapter, I'm really excited for this mini-installment!
