After being separated for years, Gendry and Arya meet again for the first time as adults, and their chemistry is decidedly adult too. They share a few heated glances and flirtatious comments, but in the end, it's Arya who decides to take matters into her own hands (literally) when she approaches Gendry the night before the Battle for the Dawn, flirting with him and matter-of-factly asking him to sleep with her before they possibly both die in battle. In a marked departure from most Thrones sex scenes, their hookup is sweet, honest, and lets Arya take charge, building on their friendship and attraction in an organic and relatively healthy way.
