The Bull and The Wolf (A Gendry/Arya Fanfic)

Chapter 4

This is a super duper small little chapter whilst I try to piece together the remnants of my chapters I shall try and get a long chapter out by the end of this week

It had been days since they had last seen anyone and Gendry and Arya were starving, and it felt like they had been walking in circles.

“I’m hungry.” Arya whined, slouching her body and pouting so she looked in Gendry’s opinion like a five year old.

“Well, we can get some food, when we find a way out of this place, now be quiet and walk properly. Why are you still even with me? You have that stupid sword, you could’ve cut out my throat and be halfway back to Winterfell.” Arya shrugged then said,

“I’m only with you because I’ll probably get attacked again or I’ll get lost in this stupid forest.” Arya wanted to say something else but she didn’t. Gendry looked at her, caught her eye then turned his head quickly,

“Come on, we might get out of this forest by tonight if we’re quick.” Arya ran up beside Gendry and walked next to him, for the first time since he found her, he kept glancing at her and she saw but she didn’t say anything.

After a few hours Arya’s feet were killing her and they were covered in blisters, she hobbled over to a log and sat down. Gendry saw and moved over to her.

“What’s wrong?” Arya just pointed at her feet and Gendry looked at them, they were a state and he knew she wouldn’t be able to walk much further, but they were in a bad part of the forest and he knew if they didn’t leave before the dark, they wouldn’t live to see tomorrow.

Gendry lifted Arya onto his back and started walking he buckled under her weight at first but started to get used to it after a little while.

“What are you doing Gendry‽” Arya started hitting his back.

“Stop it! I’m carrying you otherwise we’ll be dead meat by tomorrow morning.” Arya stopped hitting him and let him carry her.

It had been a couple of hours and Arya’s feet weren’t really hurting anymore but she wanted to see how long Gendry would keep carrying her. It was starting to get dark, so Arya jumped down and they went to find a place to sleep.

When they laid down to sleep Arya started shivering and after about ten minutes, Gendry said, “Arya, come over here.” Slowly she moved over to him and he wrapped his arms around her, “Just so you know, I’m only doing this because I’m cold.” and they fell asleep like that.
