A Turian Boyfriend
Authors Notes: Hey guys, this is the first story I have ever written so please excuse the grammar -laughs hysterically- . This story will be for all those Shakarian lovers who wished Garrus was a romance in ME 1. I will continue the story over ME 2 and 3. The story is just scenes I've created about Shephard and Garrus's romantic relationship. The chapters might not always be exactly like the game (and what I mean by that, is the timeline in each chapter, the correct missions information and ect.) Anyway, enough talking xD. I hope you enjoy the story and please comment and give me some tips. Thank you!

Chapter One: The First Meeting
Shephard came out of the elevator with such confidence she practically glowed. With her chin held high, she started thinking about what she would say to the council. She knew that they could be hard ass's but who do you think would be able to believe what Shephard had just found out? She saw the geth out of the veil, then she was knocked out cold by the beacon on Eden Prime, and she was about to accuse Saren of killing Nilus! Shephard could hardly believe it herself! Shephard was interrupted from her thoughts from two Turians arguing. She couldn't help but eavesdrop.
Garrus knew from the sight of her red hair that she was Commander Shephard. He had read and watched a few documents and reports about the commander, he even heard about how gorgeous she is! Garrus never really found humans attractive, but Shephard… Shephard made him feel things he hasn't felt in a while. Garrus then mentally punched himself in the face for thinking those sorts of things. For god's sake she could kill in a blink of an eye! But the colour of Shephards hair and her looks didn't look nearly as good in person then in the vids. Her hair was shoulder length, actually just above shoulder length, and the colour of her hair was deep red… he has never seen a colour so beautiful on a humans head! She also had these bright, green eyes that were so beautiful.
Garrus tried his best to keep his cool around this beautiful woman as he introduced himself. He then breathed out a sigh of relief when she smiled. Wow… her smile was… he couldn't find the words to describe her smile. Garrus then noticed at the man standing left behind Shephard, the man was giving Shephard quite an evil look. Garrus was about to punch the man right in the nose for giving his CO a look like that, especially to Shephard. But he was interrupted by the commander raising her hand, in suggestion to a hand shake. Garrus shook her hand with his talon, only in that moment had he realised how small her hand was compared to his talon.
Shephard was surprised at herself when she gave him a smile; she always tried to keep her commander face on. She could practically feel Kaidans evil glare on her back. She's not that oblivious, Shephard knew that Lieutenant Alenko had a massive crush on her but Shephard didn't feel the same way. Shephard thought that the only reason Kaidan looked at her like that was because of how she smiled at Garrus… she never smiled like that to anyone. But the way this Turian made her feel when he shook her hand… it was incredible. She felt almost like a zap of electricity went through her hand, up to her neck and then down her spine. Her mind quickly jumped to conclusions 'I can't love him, I only just met him! Pull yourself together Jane! There is a murderer who happens to be a spectre and a possible invasion coming, there is no time for this shit!' Shephard thought to herself.
When Garrus let go of the Commanders hand he felt… he felt something. He couldn't quite put his talon on it. It was almost like a zap of electricity, or when humans rub there feet on the carpet while wearing socks and then they touch something metal, Garrus remembered that in a vid he once watched. He hasn't felt this way in a very long time. Garrus didn't understand what was wrong with him; he thought maybe he was getting sick. Yes. He thought that was the only reason why he was feeling like this. The reason why he never found humans attractive until he saw Shephard, the reason why he had to think twice before saying something the probably sounded stupid, the reason he felt the zap electricity. No. He finally came to a more reasonable conclusion. He was not sick. 'You idiot Garrus!' He thought to himself 'You can't love Shephard! You only just met her and you need to be thinking about Saren and his activities! Not the Commanders bright, green eyes and gorgeous smile! And… and…there is no way a Turian like you can ever get a girl like Shephard. She couldn't love you.'
Garrus finally explained to the Commander of what just happened with Executor Pallin and Saren. "I was the officer in charge of the C-Sec investigation into Saren." Garrus said with an emphasis on the word 'was'. Shephard couldn't help but chuckle at the way Garrus said 'was'.
Garrus's mandibles fluttered (which was a grin from a human perspective), he made her laugh. Garrus couldn't be more proud of himself than he was at that moment.
'Stop laughing and smiling at this damn Turian Jane! You look and sound like any normal civilian, but you're not. Your Commander Jane Shephard damit! Pull yourself together.' Shephard thought to herself.
Shephard then put her commander façade back on "You sound like you really want to bring him down Vakarian"
"I don't trust him." Garrus was being completely honest with Shephard "Something about him rubs me the wrong way. But he's a Spectre, everything he touches is classified. I can't find any hard evidence on him."
Shephard nodded and agreed but before she could say anything, Kaidan butted in "Um, Commander .I think were running late for the hearing with the council" as Kaidan finished his sentence he pointed at Captain Anderson who was standing at the top of the stairs where the councillors were. Garrus then nodded and Shepard gave him an apologetic look. The commander then turned on her heels and walked up the stairs to Anderson with her chin held high.
Garrus watched as the Commander walked away with such confidence. When Garrus was alone all he could say was "Wow, what a woman" Garrus finally said aloud with an exhaustion in his voice. "I need a drink".
