Dynasty / Arya Stark X oc Male

27. So Violent

Garretts eyes popped open a moment too late it seemed, as ned starks head fell the hour before and the realms turned to chaos.

If this was a dream, he'd like a refund. Or a drill to his skull to pry the thought from his head.

"joffrey killed who?" Garrett rasped his throat dry.

"My sweet boy-"

"Who was it?" Garrett hissed.

"Eddard Stark," Joffrey cut in from behind them. "I promise you, Garr, it is no great loss. It's rather a fortunate one he was a traitor." Garrett sighed and shut his eyes tight as he rubbed his forehead. 

"You did what?" Garrett demanded. 

"I did what needed to be done." JOffrey demanded marching off, Garrett looked to his mother.

"Joffrey wasn't the king, he had no right." garrett shouted looking between them. 

"Well its too late for-"

"Joffrey what were you thinking?" Garrett demanded marching up to him his legs wobbled from the bedrest.

"I was thinking someone had to take charge you were taking a nap!"

"You will never make another command in this palace again." Garrett warned marching off. "Get me a meeting with robb stark." Garrett commanded " NOW!"

Barristan stuck to Garrett's side as Cersei begged him to return to bed. 

"I would love to but- JON!" Garrett shouted. 

"You are awake!" Jon declared. 

"Honey, you need rest." Cersei begged. "Your brain was... going to explode the maesters told us." 

"Well clearly its not exploding now." Garrett corrected but he did have a major migraine. 

"Arya is going to be thrilled.' Jon said as he hugged Garrett. "God, we thought you were a goner." 

"I'm... sorry about your father." 

"It's not your fault." JOn reminded him. 

"It's joffreys." Garrett agreed. "Barristan, put my brother under arrest in his chambers until I decide what to do with him." 

"My darling," Cersei corrected as Arya turned to the corner, her jaw dropped. 

"Garrett?" She thought she was dreaming. 

"Your brother... you should have heard the things Stark was saying... he... your brother... stark..." Cersei didnt know what to say to make it better. 

"ANd summon uncle Jaime back." Garrett demanded. "I will not have a war on our hands because my father was an idiot and Joffrey wanted to follow in his footsteps." 

"Garr..." Arya ran towards him and he finally saw her. He opened his arms to her and she launched into his warm embrace. 

"Hey little wolf." He whispered kissing the top of her head. She wanted to cry. 

"You are alive." She whimpered. 

"Seems so." He confirmed holding tight to her. 

"I'm sorry about-'

"It's okay." Arya cut him off, looking up at him. "I knew when you woke you would fix it. You would fix everything." 

"I dont know that I can fix everything." Garrett admitted. "But I'm going to try and fix what I can." 

Word was sent to Robb, Joffrey was locked in his chambers and now they just had to wait. 

Arya came to find garrett that night, he had a frozen piece of meat on his head. 

"You really had me worried you jerk." Arya said, Garrett turned to her. 

"Sorry. i will try to be less of a jerk in the future." Garrett assured. 

"You better." Arya agreed. She sighed moving closer. "I really like you, you really scared me."

"I didnt mean to. I should have never left." 

"That's right you should have stayed with me." Arya agreed. 

"I wish I did." Garrett agreed as she closed the door. "Come here."  She obeyed. "I would say i missed you but I sort of didnt know anything that was happening." Garrett admitted. "But if I did I would have missed you." 

"You know how to make a girl feel special." Arya whispered as his face tipped down to her. "Kiss me to make up for it." 

"So bossy." Garrett answered kissing her. "Stay with me tonight." Garrett requested. She sighed against his mouth.

"Okay. But if you snore, I'm punching you in the throat." Arya warned.

"So violent."

"You like it."

"I do." There isn't anything about this woman Garrett didn't like.
