Jon and Robb were sitting on the couch watching TV when Daenerys walked into their apartment. She sighed.

"Did you guys do anything while I was at class?" she asked. They shook their heads, not taking their eyes off the TV. Dany groaned. "You do realize that we're having a party in less than two hours and this place is a mess, right?"

Jon shrugged. "Who cares? Why should we clean up if the place is going to be completely trashed tomorrow?"

"Well would it kill you to at least pick up your socks and underwear?" Dany said as she sidestepped a dirty shirt lying on the floor.

"It might," Robb said and Jon laughed.

Annoyed, Dany turned off the TV and yelled at them, "I want you guys to get your lazy asses off the couch and clean this apartment until it's spotless, are we clear?"

Jon and Robb raised their eyebrows. "Are you really expecting us to make this place spotless in less than two hours?" Robb asked incredulously.

"Well, as spotless as you two morons can manage," Dany said. Jon and Robb groaned but got up. They cleaned tirelessly for the next two hours, preparing for their friend Gendry's surprise birthday party. An hour later, most of the guests had arrived and the party was in full swing.

Jon was flirting with some girl that Dany knew when Robb rushed over to him.

"Quentyn texted me and said that they just got here and they'd be up soon, so we should probably start hiding now," Robb said in a hurried voice.

"Got it," Jon said, and then he stood up and shouted over the crowd, "Hey! Gendry is coming up right now so everyone find a hiding spot!" There was a lot of commotion as everyone rushed to find a place to hide. Jon flipped the light switch and crouched in the corner, waiting for the door to open.

A couple of minutes later, the door opened, Jon turned on the lights, and everyone shouted, "Surprise!" Gendry jumped, taken aback, and then laughed when he realized what this was.

"Holy shit," he still in shock, "I honestly did not see this coming."

"Well that's kind of the point of a surprise party," Robb said laughing.

A half an hour later, Dany brought out the cake and they all sang happy birthday to Gendry and he blew out 19 of the 21 candles on the first try. After cake, and his first beer as a legal drinker, Gendry found Arya Stark, Robb's younger sister, sitting by herself in a corner.

"Hey," he said as he walked towards her.

"Hey," Arya looked and smiled, "happy birthday."

"Thanks," Gendry said and sat down next to her. "Are you having fun?"

"Yeah," she said sounding a bit worn-out, "but I think I'm going to head out soon."

"What? Why?" Gendry was confused as to why he was disappointed to hear that Arya was leaving. It wasn't like he liked her or anything. She was his best friend's little sister, he couldn't have a crush on her. That would be weird. Plus, if Robb found out he had a crush on Arya, which he didn't, what would he even say?

"It's just that I don't really know anybody here," Arya said looking at her feet.

"Well you know Robb, Jon, Dany, and me."

"Yeah, but Robb and Jon are hanging out with their friends and I wouldn't feel very welcome, and I guess I could hang with Dany but I rarely have any idea what she's talking about most of the time."

Gendry laughed. Because Daenerys was a political science major she often talked about a lot of issues that no one had ever heard of let alone cared about. She also liked to get into huge debates and if you really didn't know what you were talking about, then you were in big trouble. So when Arya said that she didn't like talking to Dany, Gendry completely understood where she was coming from.

"I get it," he said reassuringly, "but you know me."

"Yeah, but I wouldn't want to keep you from your guests."

"It's okay, Jon and Robb seem to be keeping them pretty entertained." Gendry and Arya looked to the center of the room where Jon and Robb were playing some kind of drinking game. "So I guess I could hang with you for a while."

"Okay, that's cool," Arya looked down at her feet again.

"So," Gendry said, uncomfortably trying to start a conversation with her, "how do you like college so far?"

"It's okay," she shrugged, "I like my classes I just haven't made a lot of friends."

"That sucks," he said awkwardly. Normally, he wouldn't have this much trouble striking up a conversation with someone; he like to pride himself on being a very friendly person and a good conversationalist. So it was odd to him that he was having such a hard time speaking to this girl.

"Well I've made a couple of friends," Arya said. "There's a couple of girls from some of my classes, and there's my roommate, we hang out together sometimes, and there's also…" she trailed off.

"And there's who?" Gendry that Arya didn't really want to talk about it, but his curiosity got the best of him.

"This guy in my English class," she smiled shyly and her face began to turn red. "His name is Jaqen. He and I hang out a lot and I…um…I kind of like him."

Gendry felt his heart drop. Wait a minute, he thought, why am I sad about that? It's not like I like her or anything. Right?

"So does he, uh, does he like you back?" Gendry said, trying to sound nonchalant but he ended up sounding a little jealous instead.

Arya laughed awkwardly. "I don't know, I mean we haven't really hung out all that much, so he probably doesn't even think about me in that way."

"Oh, that's too bad," Gendry tried to hide his joy. Maybe it was because of all the beer he had, but he seriously thought that he was starting to develop a crush on Arya.

"Why do you care so much anyway?" Arya raised her eyebrows and looked at him.

Gendry shifted awkwardly in his seat. "You're my best friend's little sister, I need to know how you're doing…for Robb." He winced at how lame he sounded.

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean you need to know about my love life."

"You're the one who brought it up."

"I wanted to see what you would do!" The statement was almost a shout. A couple of heads turned and looked at them for a moment, then went back to watching Jon and Robb and their drunken shenanigans.

"What do you mean you wanted to see what I would do?" Gendry was confused. Did Arya Stark have a crush on him?

"I mean, I just," Arya let out a breath and then said quickly, "I wanted to see how you would react to me saying I liked someone. I gotta go." She started to stand up flustered, but Gendry grabbed her arm.

"What kind of reaction were you expecting?" Gendry felt his heart start to beat faster. If he didn't know if he had a crush on Arya before he definitely did now.

"I was hoping for you to kiss me." Arya grabbed the back of his neck and forcefully, but sweetly, kissed him. After about ten seconds, Gendry reluctantly released.

"That wasn't so hard, was it?" he said.

"No, but you'll be."

Gendry laughed as Arya pulled him into the nearest bedroom.

Arya pulled Gendry by the neck of his shirt and onto the double bed that was pushed against the farthest wall in the small bedroom. Gendry kneeled over Arya unbuttoning her shirt to reveal her lacy pink bra and brushing soft kisses against her neck and chest. Arya quickly grabbed the hem of his shirt and began pulling it over his head. Once it was off and discarded on the floor next to the bed Gendry leaned down to Arya and they began to kiss passionately.

Gendry broke the kiss, but only to quickly unbutton and remove his jeans and hastily planted his mouth back on Arya's, who grabbed him by the back of the neck, lifting her body into his.

Trying not to break the kiss Arya let go of Gendry and began to clumsily unbutton her pants. When Gendry noticed what she was doing he swiftly let go of her and moved his hands down to finish the job for her.

Soon Gendry was working off Arya's panties, while placing wet kisses down her stomach.

Once Arya's panties were off, Gendry returned to fervently kissing her sweet, smooth lips. Suddenly he felt himself being flipped onto his back. Now Arya was kneeling over him, placing rough kisses on his neck.

She removed his boxers and took his erection in her hand before slowly placing her mouth on the tip and working her tongue around it. Gendry involuntarily let out a moan at the pleasure.

Not one to let someone else take control, though, Gendry wrapped his arms around Arya and this time flipped her onto her back. He laughed and began to kiss her neck before looking up to see her face and realize she was having none of it. And before he knew it she was back on top of him. He had no time to protest, though, Arya had begun to guide his penis and his was overcome with pleasure.
