((This could totally be bromance if you want))

[Dean just stares at Shepard. One of them has to say something eventually and, personally, he had nothing to say, so he settled for a simple] Yo.

I'm totally open to anything, really, haha. born_renegade December 6 2011, 21:32:14 UTC
[It's a shame Shepard had nothing to say either, and the 'yo' wasn't giving him much to work with. So he just nods his head, arms crossed.]

Hey.

[He keeps staring. Okay, maybe Shepard is a little sexy.]

So how's the badassery going? It's been awhile.

[He stares right back, not one to break eye contact. It helps that the view isn't half bad.]

Going good. I'm as badass as ever. [He smirks.] How're things on your end?

[Oh so this staring thing is a contest? Dean likes contests.]

Fantastic. Getting sick of these little bastards, though. And dying. I'm glad I'm done being dead.

[Good thing Shepard is competitive. And very good at staring.]

I'm glad you're done being dead, too.

[Dean feels the urge to blink. Is that allowed? He's held his eyes open a long time. He gives in and closes them momentarily. But back open and intense as ever.]

See, you'd think it'd be hot, but it's really cold. I've heard that you found out the hard way. Well, it's an unreliable source, but I still worried.

[Dean loses round one. Yes, round one, because Shepard is nowhere near done with the staring. Plus, Shepard finds that the intense look he's receiving suits Dean.]

I did. Hopefully for the last time. Being spaced isn't as fun as it sounds. [Shepard leans forward and props his arms over his lap. Stare not faltering.] I was more worried about you, though.

[Oh Dean is refreshed. Like a boss. He could go on all day now. Shepard hasn't had a blink yet. He'll need one soon.]

Really? [Dean quirks a brow] Let me play shrink and ask you how you dealt with that.

[It's a very good possibility that Shepard blinked already, but did so so swiftly that it went unnoticed. He doesn't always play fair.]

[He's is going to give the same answer he gave Kelly when asked how he deals with the whole, being shot into space, thing.]

I shoot at people. [Good people? Bad people? He doesn't specify.]

[Dean's eyes are threatening to begin to water, but he's not giving in this time. Now it was personal.]

Living up to your reputation even after death. [Dean winks.] I like it.

[Shepard considers giving Dean a break, but then decides against it and continues his stare. Dean's a big boy, he can handle it.]

You know me. I don't like to disappoint. [He smiles, which isn't something he does often, so it fades not long after appearing.] Now's the part where you tell me how you dealt with it.

Ah! I was hoping we wouldn't have to. My distractions are no match for your curiosity. [Okay, maybe Dean's a little tipsy, but not enough to not appreciate the man in front of him]

Well, you know, I sat in my room, played Taylor Swift and cried into my pillow. [he smiles slightly]

No, I...I couldn't do much for a while. But, when I did, I mean I really left an impact. I let go. All of the anger. I took it out on all those creatures. And it felt, it felt good. But now you're back and that feels better.

[Shepard chuckled lightly at Dean's...special brand of humor. It's something he missed when he was off chasing Collectors and Reapers.]

It's good you found an outlet. One that left an impact, even.

And...I'm glad you're here, too. Fighting aliens and mercenaries is boring when there's no one snarking at me.

[Dean just nods and grins like an idiot.]

Well, you also need me to be a kick in the ass when you're doing it wrong.

[And he needs you.]

Y'know, you're the only one I know who would say something like that. Most people think just one is enough excitement for a lifetime.
