Summary
He stayed there, draped around her for a long moment, and she could feel him breathing, his chest expanding, pressing into her back. It was a habit now, whenever they played this game. Taking a moment to center himself, pushing his innate desire to give her whatever she wanted to the back of his mind, letting the dominant side surface. Giving her the opportunity to say no.
She never did.

Summary
Excerpt:
"He sees flashes of a huge smile full of crooked teeth and eyes the color of steel staring up at him. He had only met Arya a handful of times over the course of Jon and his friendship. They were five years older than her and graduated high school when she was only thirteen. He remembers her being a moody teenager that had no desire to be at their graduation. Her face had been buried in a book and he hardly took the time to make out what she looked like. "
Where Gendry was once the best fighter the world knew until an accident changed the course of his life and he wound up turning to the bottle. Forced to face his fears, he becomes the coach to his best friend's younger sister. Gendry wasn't prepared for the whirlwind that is Arya, a young woman that teaches him that facing his fears isn't all that bad.

Summary
“You shouldn’t be in here by yourself. The only men that come in here are thieves and creeps,” he said.
If she was put off by his demeanor, Arya was even more taken aback by his tone.
“Which one are you then?”

(Arya Stark has two months to kill and three-thousand miles ahead of her, before her career begins - until a grumpy hitchhiker causes her to change course, in more ways than one.)

Summary
Make me forget, you’re good at that, please.
It wasn’t a soft kiss by any means, but she had never intended that; their lips and teeth grazed and her hands were in his hair, gripping wildly. He pressed up against her, trying to win the fight but she stood her ground, trying to pose as she knew herself; wild and unprecedented without a shred of vulnerability.

Summary
"So," she tried again, stretching the word across the space between them. "I guess we should just..."
Gendry blinked - like he'd already, somehow, forgotten why they were there.
"Just what?"
"Um." Arya chewed on her lip and bit a bullet she hadn't touched in a decade. "Kiss?"
She'd been smaller back then - quicker, nimbler - so she'd dodged it with ease. This time, it pierced every layer of her flushed skin.
"No."

(Arya asks her best friend to be her first good kiss. Ten years later, they're dared to do it again. Shouldn't be a problem - in theory.)

“You’ve been dreaming of me then?” she asked softly, her fingers brushing lightly against his forearm.
Gendry closed his eyes and nodded, letting out a shaky breath. “You’re there every night, Arya,” he said, opening his eyes to look at her. “You have been for far longer than I care to admit.”
Her lips curled up in a slow, pleased smile, and her hand slid down to his, pulling it to her waist.
“Tell me,” she whispered, pressing his hand into her.Bookmarked by keepthemclose

“You’re a princess, Arya. Bastards don’t bed princesses, they serve them.”
Arya smiled a wolfish grin, the one she wore when she knew she’d won whatever argument she and Gendry were having. “You say you must serve your princess?” She pulled the tunic over her head, leaving herself bare to him. “Then serve.”
