"After a month or two, I realized I had been overlooking an obvious solution for the lack of private space - The Mako. It was a great refuge for me for a while. I could get in, lock the doors from the inside, and have a little time to myself. It worked out for a while, until one day, I was in there, uh...how can I put this... polishing my sniper rifle. I was just getting ready to finish up, when I heard the vehicle's manual door locks and seals pop

She almost stopped there. She was making an effort to keep the conversation light tonight, because nobody wants to deal with serious real-life stuff the first time they get stoned. However, there was this nagging voice in her head reminding her that she could be dead again by this time next year. Sooner, even. The prospect of spending the rest of her short life alone because she was scared of something as stupid as a little awkwardness with her best friend - Oh, fuck it. If not now, when? Shepard steeled herself and took the leap, damn the consequences

Shepard needn't have worried about finding a topic of conversation; they both had plenty to say. It's hard to be too awkward when you have a bad case of The Giggles. They watched the newest Blasto movie, laughing and making stupid comments the whole way through. Her exclamations of "DERRRRRRR" every time the one dopey-looking human character appeared onscreen had Garrus practically rolling on the floor. It felt so good to laugh again. They talked animatedly about new weapons, old friends, and everything else she had missed out on in the past two years

"...So, Shepard. Can I ask you something?" Garrus said, firing up his omnitool and flipping through his list of files. "Back on the SR1 when we would get into firefights with the Mako, I remember a lot of times where you'd encounter a huge enemy, piss it off, strip its shields, and then get us all out of the vehicle to finish it off. I have vids here somewhere - ah." Garrus started playing a video of Shepard driving the M35 through geth hell on Feros

"Is your offer on that wine still open?" Shepard asked abruptly after a quiet moment. "I usually don't leave my cabin all lit up like this, but I need to stretch my legs, and most of the crew is sleeping by now. We could go down and grab it, maybe get a snack

The ship was much quieter during the night shift. They were easily the loudest thing on the crew deck, pushing each other and giggling through the mess hall like a couple of wasted high school kids sneaking back home after hours. It only took a minute for Garrus to produce the bottle of wine from the main battery, and he had just joined Shepard at the refrigerator when they heard a familiar voice behind them

Back in the quiet safety of the commander's cabin, Garrus placed a glass of wine into Shepard's hand and joined her on the couch again, mirroring her by placing his feet on the coffee table and leaning far back into the cushions. They had both eaten, and he now felt a little more in control of his faculties. "I think our walk sobered me up a bit, I'm not quite as--" He opened his eyes wide and waved his hands erratically around his face, trying to convey sensory overload. "Feels nice now though, coming down. Relaxing. You know, we really do need to take more time for ourselves. This has been the most fun I've had in... well, a long time

"I know you said we should wait, but I want to show you..." He murmured as his hands wandered down to her waist, gently gripping her with his strong talons. The fluttering sensation in her guts instantly moved a bit lower

He stared at the ceiling, desperately wanting to say something, but everything he could think of sounded stupid. Trite. It didn't help that being this close to Shepard had this way of making it feel like time had stopped in his general vicinity. Garrus looked over and saw she had her eyes closed anyway. A bit disappointing the night was over, but it had been a long one for the both of them. Oh, well. He just hoped he'd have better luck dropping off than usual

I don't know what it is about this particular line (though I suspect it had a lot to do with the lead-up) that is so ridiculously sexy, but I love it! It keeps replaying in my head, in Garrus' voice. Unf.
