from this drabble challenge

47. “I thought it was a one-night-stand…and now we’re married…” + 48. “We’ve become the clingy couple that you used to complain about” + 88. “After everything…I’d still choose you.”

i’ve only loosely followed the prompts this time because they were a bit harder to pull all together given how many there were in one go.

i’d take one for you | m | gendrya

The house is quiet and airy besides the noise that her brothers make outside while they set up. She still doesn’t know how big of a party they’re deciding to have but it makes her happy to see them all putting their efforts into planning it.

Arya makes her way to the guest bathroom, pulling out her phone to ask her sister when she plans on arriving. Normally, she can walk through the house with her eyes closed and not even bump into the skirting.

So, when she hits into a solid frame, it causes alarm. Her phone falls to the hardwood floor and she looks up into familiar blue eyes.

“Stupid,” Arya says under her breath as she picks up her phone.

“Good to see you too, Arya,” he gives her a tight smile. “Are you alright?”

Arya sighs and puts her phone into her pocket. “Gendry, I didn’t even know you were here.” She tells him. He looks different from when she last saw him.

“Your brothers told me they were having a party, I thought I’d give a hand in setting up.” Gendry explains. He seems to catch on that she doesn’t really want to be having this conversation, so he leaves her to it.

Arya watches him walk away. Either he’s taller than she remembers or she just hasn’t seen him in three years. He’s also definitely bigger.

She can admit that she’s always found Gendry rather beautiful. His deep black hair was always messy and his eyes so deep and blue. Now, he looks more a man than he ever was before.

In the bathroom, she notices the blush that colours her cheeks. “Stupid,” she says to herself in the mirror before pulling out her phone again and texting Sansa.
