After a long bout of inactivity on this account, I just wanted to put out a very short little story! As of lately my Mass Effect obsession has been growing, so I decided to write just a little something. I really hope you guys like it! All characters belong to Bioware! I own nothing sadly!
Her name was soft, Kaidan thought. It wasn't sharp nor rough like she was; not a name of authority or command. It was girly, airy, and almost childish. No wonder most called her by her last name, or just simply commander, a rule Kaidan abided in most situations, however, just face to face with their guard let down, he called her by her first name; Lily.
It rolled off his tongue the first time he said it many years ago, back on that night before Ilos. He called her name, just as the sweet meek name escaped his lips, the angular woman lying next to him, opened her bright grey eyes and peered back at him. Her dark chocolate brown hair was let out of her usual tight bun and now framed her thin face.
"You know, I think you're the only person that actually uses my first name. I don't really think anybody knew I had one."
" I think you should use it more often Lily Shepard."
"Yeah, really intimidating against a reaper. Look out for Lily!"
" I'm scared already." Kaidan replied as he drew her closer to him. She could feel
his smile against her skin as he whispered " I love you Lily."
