Note: I know I have so many turian/human stories. This was the very first turian/human romance I ever had in my head, I'm just now able to piece it together and post it. I rushed a bit, so there are probably mistakes. I only have my phone with work with and autocorrect loves to ruin my life. I really hope this is good and makes sense.

...

"Go talk to her, if you think she's pretty!" Octavia nudged her older brother towards the group of girls on the other side of the dance floor.

"I'm never coming here with you again." He scratched at his fringe before turning back to his sister, "You don't care that I will be flirting with a human?"

"No, I don't! Now go! You always stay glued to your job and haven't took any of your vacation days at all. The least you can do is enjoy your weekend off and have a dance or two with someone! You deserve to have fun!" He had so many vacation days saved up because he was serious about his job. Bailey had to force him to take the weekend off after he went without sleep and food to get things done quicker.

'If anyone deserves time off to relax, it's you.' Bailey had said.

Amadeus sighed. It had been a long time since he had been with a female of any kind.

Octavia shoved her brother towards the group of girls and was relieved when all of them left to go to the bathroom except the one he had his eye on. Her porcelain skin was covered in body glitter and her long blonde hair was up in a messy bun, she looked somewhat familiar.

She wore a black mini dress with tall black high heeled shoes. The turian found he couldn't stop looking at her long legs until she turned and smiled at him.

"Hey! You okay?" She asked her voice soft.

He gave a nod, "I was wondering if you would like to dance."

"Of course." She smiled, "My name is Katrina. What's your name?"

"Amadeus."

"Amadeus, I like it!"

He tried ignoring the fact that his sister was watching him and smiling while she nursed her drink. But he had to admit, after about five minutes, he relaxed and was able to enjoy being with this human...

...

Amadeus opened his eyes to the morning light drifting through the window of his large apartment. The turian blinked a few times before he felt movement next to him. Beside him, head lying on his chest was the blonde from the night before.

"Huh, usually they leave before I wake up. This is different." He muttered to himself and felt her arm wrap around his waist, "It's nice."

The turian ran his talons over his dark purple facial markings before nuzzling against Katrina's hair. He hadn't expected any of last night to happen after the dancing.

It was pitch black so they hadn't seen each other. Her never being with a turian before, it was probably a good thing. Now in the light his eyes memorized every detail on her body. She was beautiful but he couldn't quite figure out why she looked so familiar.

The realization that he was hungry hit him and he carefully got up from the bed, put some clothes on and made his way into the kitchen where he began cooking food for him and for her. He had tons of human food for his friend Joey that would randomly invite himself over so he was prepared to have human company.

Kristina snuggled deeper into the pillows and inhaled deeply. After a few minutes she realized the bed she was in was a turian bed. Last night's events came to play in her head and she calmed down a bit. She noticed the turian was missing and heard movement in the kitchen.

"What did he say his name was, Amadeus? That was it." It took the human forever to force herself to roll over. She looked out of the opened bedroom door to see Amadeus sitting stuff out on the bar that separated the kitchen and living room.

She wanted to talk to him again. Talking to him last night was a relief, he treated her as an equal and wasn't acting like some crazed fan. Her dress from the night before was thrown on and she shyly looked once more around the door frame, into the kitchen.

"Morning, I was wondering when you would wake up." She heard Amadeus say from the window in the living room. That was when she noticed how big this apartment was. Last night in the dark she didn't notice all of the extra room, but then again she wasn't really paying attention at the time. Now she noticed he had a lot of weaponry, "Hungry? It's human safe."

"I am, thank you so much."

Katrina shyly walked up to the bar, grabbed a bagel then walked over and sat down next to him. She seemed nervous at the deafening silence in the room so the turian tried to start a conversation, "You feeling ok?"

"Yes, I'm fine." She smiled, "I've been doing more new stuff lately to get my mind off of work."

"Would one of those things you're doing be me?" She laughed and he shook his head, "Sorry, my attempt at humor isn't very good this morning."

"You're attempt was hilarious. I'd like to hear more, actually."

"Well, in that case... Would you want to go out again sometime soon?"

"That would be awesome."

"How about tonight? What do you usually do on Saturdays?"

Katrina gave a smile, "Wake up, go swimming, come back and spend the rest of the day and night watching my own marathon of Doctor Who and eating various junk foods when my friends don't force me out to a club. Today I have a quick job to do but it won't take long at all."

"Swimming… That sounds fun…"

Katrina laughed, "Every turian I've met acts as if they are afraid of water!"

"We kind of suck when it comes to swimming…"

"I can teach you!" A voice was heard from a police scanner across the room and Katrina looked up at Amadeus with curious blue eyes, "Are you with C-Sec?"

"Yeah, I was in the military back home. I was left Palaven to come here and become part of C-Sec Special Response and work as sort of a cop."

"A cop…"

"You don't like cops?"

Katrina sighed, "My father was one. I admit, they make me nervous."

"You have no need to he nervous around me."

"That's just it, I don't feel nervous around you at all."

A loud ring made them both jump and Amadeus ran to his computer where he brought up a screen.

"Heeey, big brother!"

"Octavia! Hello…"

"I trust you are well."

Katrina pulled out her phone and logged on to see messages from her sister, "Amadeus, I have to go. Tonight, right?"

"How about six?"

"Okay! I'll meet you here!"

When she was gone and the door was shut, Amadeus turned to the computer screen to look at Octavia. His eyes were mixed with confusion and happiness, "We may have a problem."

"Oh no! She didn't give you one of those human diseases did she?"

"N-no, she was a virgin."

"Did she tell you that?"

Amadeus shook his head, "No, I figured it out on my own. You can tell with humans… But... There's just something about her."

Octavia blinked and put her hand under her head and gazed at her brother's image on the screen, listening to his story on last night's events.

"You just met her, so you can't be in love yet... Can you?"

He rubbed his chin in thought, "I don't think so. She isn't annoying like all of the others. She is polite, soft spoken, kind."

"Wow, you really did choose a different one. Usually you choose complete bitches that complain too much or leave before you even wake up."

Amadeus shook his head, "I'll call you later. I'm going to try and enjoy this weekend off."

…

"I don't know, Lula. I think I love him. I've never felt so at ease around a guy before."

Katrina walked into a clothing store she worked at on the Citadel with her best friend. Lula was a turian with a human mate. Both of them were in C-Sec and knew Amadeus. The female turian's human mate was one of his partners.

"Well, Michael knows Amadeus more than I do. He's very honorable and actually worries about the people. He's not judgmental at all. But should you really fall in love with the one who takes your virginity?"

"I know, I'm stupid. But he didn't treat me like most guys do."

"That is odd. Most men beg you to marry them within five minutes of talking to you."

She unlocked the door to the store and waved to Lula, "Talk to you later, 'k?"

"Have fun at the photo shoot."

"Yeah... Thanks." Katrina gained a sour look.

Inside, Katrina finished opening up the store and silently thought of Amadeus throughout the changing of clothes and makeup. When she decided to come here with her line of fashion, she had not expected to become an actual model. But she couldn't complain. It was good money, after all. She was just thankful for having her pair of sunglasses and a hat she often wore, so no one would easily recognize her in public.

They finished early and she was allowed to go home to her apartment. There, she showered and put on some makeup that matched the dress she picked out to wear on the date. Her hat was put on along with her sunglasses and some extra lip gloss was placed in her bag, then she was ready to go. She made it to her destination right on time, just as Amadeus was walking out.

"There you are, Katrina."

She waved, shyly, "What do you want to do?"

"Dinner then roam around the Presidium?"

"Sounds like a plan to me." She smiled.

It didn't take the two long to choose a restaurant and eat. Walking around the Presidium was rather refreshing for them both.

"So, Katrina." Amadeus began, "I really enjoy being with you."

"I really enjoy being with you, too." She smiled.

He felt relieved at her words, "Would you like to become... A thing? A couple? With me?"

"I would love that." She took his hand in hers and leaned her head against his arm, "I'm honestly glad that you didn't think horrible of me after putting out the night we met."

"Why would I think horrible of you for that?" He looked down at her, "That's doesn't make anyone look bad... Does it?"

"Humans frown upon it. I just feel so comfortable and safe with you. It only felt natural..."

"It... It did, actually... Now that I think about it." This was a bit odd, how natural it felt to be around her. He usually wasn't relaxed around anyone.

Katrina frowned and led Amadeus to sit on a bench, "Are you sure you want to be seen publicly with me? It might cause a lot of groups to try and cause you trouble."

"I'm in C-Sec, special response. I can arrest them in the blink of an eye." He laughed, taking her into his arms, "Why would groups try to cause me trouble, anyway?"

"Because of how popular I am. Thank you for treating me like a person. Not many people do."

"Don't worry about it." He stroked her hair, "You want to go see a movie before we call it a night?"

"Of course."

...

They went a few days without speaking to each other, other than the quick message to say they were thinking of each other. Amadeus walked into Bailey's office to deliver a report and was surprised to see Joey beside the desk.

"Amadeuuuus!" The human smiled, "I didn't think you had it in you, man."

"What?"

Bailey shook his head with a slight grin on his face, "I didn't think you were into that type, either but, heck... What do I know."

"Type?" The Turian asked.

Joey held up a magazine and pointed to the cover, "Have you seen her newest photo shoot photos yet?"

"Wait, what?" Amadeus took the magazine in his hand and saw Katrina on the front in an elegant outfit, dramatic makeup and her hair styled several braids that hung over her shoulders, "Spirits..."

That was why she looked familiar! She was the model and fashion designer living on the Citadel, Katrina Young! How could he not notice that was who she was?!

"Oh crap, I know that look." Bailey took the report from Amadeus before he could drop it, "You went out with someone and did not realize who that someone was. It happens more often than you would think."

That was why she asked him about being seen publicly with her...

Now he felt as if he needed to apologize for not seeing who she was. But she had said she felt comfortable around him because he treated her like a person, now he understood why.

"Wait until Octavia hears about this... She will never let me live it down... I'm doomed."

The scanner in the office went off with a loud, high pitched noise. It stopped and the dispatcher's voice came over the radio.

"Requesting C-Sec Special Response team to a hostage situation. Location, the clothing shops on the Presidium."

"10-4," Bailey looked up at Joey and Amadeus, "The clothing stores were closed today, I thought. Anyway, that's the two of you. Good luck."

…

Amadeus met Lula at the scene outside of the clothing stores.

"What's the situation?"

"An Asari and a Batarian robbed the store and they have one of the owners as a hostage. Amadeus, Kristina is the owner…"

Amadeus stopped all movement then turned to look at Lula. Panic covered his features but a plan soon formed in his head. Two more Turians, Joey and three humans along with Lula's lover Michael were gathered and Amadeus explained how the plan would unfold.

Behind the store, connected to another one was a door which they quietly slipped in through while Joey began to negotiate with the main criminal. Their footsteps were quiet but quick as they took different positions around the store without the Batarian and Asari noticing.

The asari was too busy running her fingers through Katrina's long hair, making sure the woman's hands were bound behind her back. She straddled the human and began running her hands up her shirt, feeling her up, "The slavers will love you... Wait, I know who you are! We'll get a lot of money for your pretty little ass. There's only one problem. You smell like a turian."

Amadeus held up his hand to stop the group behind him. From the other side of the room glass was heard breaking, catching both the asari and batarian's attention before the asari could finish undoing the human's jeans.

"Go see what that was." The batarian commanded the asari who stood up and walked away from the hostage.

Once the asari was out of sight, Amadeus ducked down and ran to Katrina.

"Katrina…"

He whispered loud enough for her to hear him and didn't waste time in picking her up and running back to cover. The group ran out, guns out and aiming at the couple's heads.

"You're under arrest."

The criminals were taken care of and Amadeus cut the ties around Katrina's wrist and pulled her into his arms, "Please tell me you're alright."

"I-I am." She had her arms around his waist and refused to let go, "I should've known better than to come here with no one around. I'm sorry..."

He held her tight, "Don't worry, you're safe now."

…

Saturday came and Amadeus made his way to Katrina's apartment. He knocked and heard her voice on the other side announcing that the door was open. Once inside, he noticed it was way smaller than his but very neat and clean. It was all one room except for the bathroom which was separate and not big at all.

Katrina was brushing her hair when he caught sight of her. The skinny black jeans and light blue slip on shoes matched the light blue and black top she wore, the sleeves reaching her elbows flowed down a few inches creating an elegant look.

Her hair was down and reached her hips when she stopped brushing it.

"Sorry, I'm a bit slow. Lack of sleep."

Amadeus stepped closer to her and ran a gentle talon through her blonde hair, "You're not sleeping?"

"Not since the crazy asari lady felt me up… It's like each time I go to sleep the farther she goes. I woke up last night before the batarian managed to join in. I refused to sleep after that."

The turian thought for a moment then took her hand in his, "Stay with me tonight. Maybe it will help not being alone."

"You don't mind?"

"Not at all."

Katrina jumped forward and hugged him, "Thank you, for everything. Saving me and helping me out…"

"I'm just glad to be helping you in any way I can."

A few weeks passed and the two spent more time together. Usually, Katrina stayed the night with Amadeus after the incident where she woke up from a nightmare so horrible, she ran to his apartment in the middle of the night. She was in her pajamas and began clinging to him as soon as he answered the door.

Amadeus had held her tight, mindful of his sharp talons and careful not to scratch.

"Katrina? What happened? Are you alright?!" He received a nod, "Come on in, everything is okay."

He picked her up bridal style and carried her to the bedroom where he placed her on the bed as gently as possible, pulling the blanket over her.

That was a few weeks ago.

Now she was beside him, twitching and jerking in her sleep. Pained moans escaped her lips and he pulled her into his arms, talons stroking through her hair in a comforting manner.

"Everything is okay. You're safe. I can promise you, nothing will harm you ever again. I'm here and I always will be."

Her whimpers calmed and her jerking movements came to a stop. Katrina relaxed against him with a shaky but content sigh. Amadeus pressed his mouth to her forehead in an awkward kiss before closing his eyes and giving in to sleep as well.
