ME: An Unromantic Moment
Shepard sat in the co-pilot seat looking out the view port. Joker was happy EDI had gone to the AI core for a while.
"So, Shepard?" he said with a grin.
"Yes," she mumbled as she put down her data pad.
"What kind of lines do you give to guys to pick them up in bars?"
Shepard gaped at him for a moment before leaning over the arm of the chair. "Duh, cleavage," she said as she pointed to her chest.
Joker's gaze immediately went to the aforementioned anatomy and he quickly brought his eyes back up to her face. She was blinking furiously. "What are you doing?" he asked seriously.
"I'm batting my eyes at you," she informed him.
"Do you have something in them?"
"Yes…love."
"Ugh! Oh, gah! Shepard!" Joker stammered as he got out of his seat. Shepard had already dissolved into fits of laughter.
"EDI, take the helm," Joker called out. "I gotta hit the head."
"Geez, Joker, you are so unromantic," Shepard called after him.
"I'll take that as a compliment, Shepard. It's one of my best features," he called back before disappearing into the head.
A/N: The batting eyes was an actual moment between my husband, Jeff, and I. He said I needed to put it in my shoker fic.
I am working on a couple of shoker stories. One is just a light look at their relationship during ME 3 and the other is rather dark and takes place after the end of ME 3.
Anyway, I thought I'd post this snippet for your enjoyment. Oh, and yes, my husband is Jeff of "Middle of Nowhere" infamy.
