Hello there! If you're seeing this in your inbox it means you've got me on Author alert so I love you! This si a gift for my friend Meonlyred as part of an art trade. I write her something she draws me arts! After fabulously failing NaNoWriMo this was the first product of my ascent back to fanfiction for more fine tuning! This fic involves her canon femshep Zody and her man Kaidan. Idea came to me a few hours ago and I ran with it. Mass Effect belongs to bioware, Zody Belongs to Red, and the song belongs to Elton John
"Alright guys, shore leave!" Zody exclaimed. She and the rest of the crew were getting a week off on the citadel. Everyone's was looking for some relaxation after the collector base run. The airlock gave a might his and opened leading to several citadel transit cars. Zody was going to do some personal shopping for outfits that didn't have the Cerberus insignia on them so naturally she got her own car and rode it to the presidium.
Minutes later her car settle down by the lake and opened to let her out. Her second foot didn't hit the floor before she saw him. He stood there, almost as a pristine figure under the artificial sky of the presidium.
Staff Commander Alenko saw her and stepped forward slowly
Blue jean baby, Mindoir lady, Leader for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a biotic man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny Spectre in my hand
Zody stood there motionless. The words he sang hit her like waves during a storm. She had no idea how she was still upright and why she hadn't run at him for an embrace
Enkindler freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The Presidium is not that bad
Zody had no memory of Kaidan being this romantic, or being able to sing this well. He'd modified one of humanities greatest songs to fit her. Aliens were slowing down to watch the scene and even some humans were parked to watch it unfold
Soldier man he makes his stand
In the Presidium
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows the tune she hums
Kaidan reached her, cupped his left hand to her right and snaked his right arm around her waist.
But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly slowly
He rocked them side to side.
Hold me closer Tiny Spectre
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
you had a busy day today
Every human in the area sang along this time.
Hold me closer tiny Spectre
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
you had a busy day today
Kaidan looked down into Zody's eyes and joyful tears were flowing freely down her face. Kaidan knew it was working and he had more to go.
Blue jean baby, Mindoir lady, Leader for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a biotic man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny Spectre in my hand
He gave Zody a twirl and brought her back close for the chorus once more
But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly slowly
Zody sang along with him.
Hold me closer tiny Spectre
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
you had a busy day today
"Kaidan…" Zody said softly as she took as a good a look at him as she could with tears in her eyes.
"Don't speak." he replied, "Just…stay with me."
"I'll never leave." She said and she pressed her supple lips against his.
