Summary
A week after the Collector base, a week of trawling around space and mindless errands and revisiting posts they only passed through, Garrus comes up to her cabin like a man on a mission.
They’ve gone back and forth over the past few days, him coming to her quarters or Shepard to his, passing around fleeting touches that carry more intent and are more explorative than anything they would have exchanged months ago. Sometimes, more often than not, it’s to simply spend time together, just as they always have.
For now, whatever it is between them feels real enough.
“Did you need me for something?”
“I—ah, yeah,” he says, and she twists her cheek into the dip of his cowl to look up at him.
Shepard smooths her hands down his chest, enjoying the twitch of muscle, the minute give of plates where they meet his hide, and his gaze flicks around her face. It lingers on a damp bang curled against her forehead before meeting hers again.
His hands settle on her hips and he glances to her bed before asking a curious, “Show me?”
surviving the omega 4 relay gives them a lot of time to themselves.
