Arya wanted to shoot herself. She had been with Tommen for less than an hour and she was already bored out of her mind. They were at the mall, seating down in a bench next to a fountain. Tommen had no idea what to do or where to go so he decided to seat down and think. He didn't even try to make an effort to keep a conversation going which annoyed Arya a lot.
"So, do you like movies?" He asked, breaking the dreadful silence
Duh, stupid. She restrained herself from saying those words to him. She didn't want to be rude and offend him so instead she said "I do"
"Do you want to watch one?" he asked, a bit awkward
"Sure" she replied while picking at her nails
"Let's go then." And with that they left towards the movie theater.
This was their first date and first time hanging out so everything was awkward. Arya hated awkward things and tried to avoid them at all cost, but she couldn't avoid this one.
She grumpily dragged her feet behind Tommen towards the theater. She wished she could be somewhere else but here. Somewhere with her older brothers or even Theon. She wanted to get out of this date so badly, she was beginning to get a headache.
"You're awefully queit" Tommen said, waiting up for her to catch up to him. She had walked at a slower pace to avoid any form of interaction.
"There's nothing to say" she stated matter of factly. As soon as she said those words she regretted them though. Tommen looked hurt and uncomfortable.
"Do you hate this?" He asked suddenly as they continue to walk
"This? no, but I'm not happy about it" She said honestly.
At least it would help me forget about Gendry She bitterly thought
"If I'm completely honest with you, I don't like it either. I'm nervous actually. I never had a girlfriend before" He said, his cheeks reddening a little
Arya was surprised. She thought Tommen had plenty of girlfriends in the past. She had to admit, he was really cute and she was 100% sure girls would line up to be with him.
"You're joking right?" Arya asked in disbeliev
"I'm not, I've never had a girlfriend before" he shrugged "I'm happy my first girlfriend is pretty though" He remained quiet after that.
Arya didn't know how to answer so she stayed queit too. This was the first time someone besides her family had called her pretty. It filled her with a foreign feeling inside and she felt her cheeks grow red.
If he compliments me like this often, then i'll forget about Gendry in no time. She wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
The movie bored Arya even more. Tommen decided he wanted to watch a comedy movie which in her opinion completly sucked ass. She was dying to see some action movie but Tommen wouldn't listen to her option.
Through out the movie, Tommen kept on placing his arm on her shoulder and brushing her hand with his and when they got out of the theaters he grabbed her hands and intertwined his fingers with hers. Arya felt awkward and wanted to pull her hands away but again, she didn't want to upset him. She knew that if she acted up he would go and complain to his parents.
"It's still pretty early, want to go eat?" He asked her, disrupting her thoughts
"Huh, oh yeah that sounds good" she agreed, she was starving
"I know a great place" He smiled at her.
Gendry's POV
Gendry wasn't a fan of going on dates, but Margery had begged him all week to take her out to eat so he had no other choice but to agree. They had began dating a month ago but he wanted to keep it on the low, for reasons that not even he knew. But she was tired of lithe secretive relationship and nagged him to take her out. He waited for outside of her fancy house. Rich people. He thought. Gendry came from the bad part of King's Landing. He had lived a big part of life in a dump with his mother and when he turned 14 he found out his father was Robert Bratheon The big shot owner of The Baratheon Companies. At first Gendry was furious about that, his dad had practically abandon him and his mother for the most important part of his life and then appeared out of nowhere to offer him a better life. After a while, and a lot of talking, his mother convinced him that this was a chance at a better life and Gendry began to accept his father. As soon as he did that, Robert moved Gendry and his mother to the Baratheon's estate and is new life as a rich kid began. After a year his mother got tired of putting up with Cersie, Robert's new wife and moved out. Gendry had offered to move out with her but she wouldn't have any of it, so he stayed. Now she lived in a nice apartment in Braavos which was paid by his father.
