So this takes place just after the Arrival DLC in Mass effect 2, Shepard has returned after blowing up the relay and is in her cabin with Garrus. So far I haven't given this Shepard a name since a lot of people don't like it. ;P But hey we'll cross that bridge when we come to it, and by the way this Shepard is mostly Paragon. Anyway please enjoy the story!
Edit: I don't own the Mass effect universe or anything in it! Please don't sue me! D:
Moments alone
She sighed held within Garrus's arms, both of them lied on the bed, Garrus with his arm around Shepard and hers resting on his collar. It had been so long since they were last together, her eyes glanced towards his face, he remained unmoved thinking to himself. So much had happened in the last few hours.
Not long ago Garrus was pacing around the main battery waiting for something… Anything! It had been two days since they last had contact with Shepard, she just disappeared so suddenly, it all started with that call from Admiral Hackett. Not too long after that Shepard had left the Normandy, without so much as a goodbye. He was so confused, then the worry started to settle in, she had been gone for more the twenty four hours. What was he to do? Just wait here? He didn't know if he should go looking for her or… Or what..? He had no idea, why didn't she say goodbye? What could be so important for her to just leave like that? He shook his head until he started to bring himself back to the present.
He looked down to the tiny human in his arms, Shepard, the only one he truly loved. He tightened his grip on her, in response her slender fingers moved down his chest before she gave him a small hug. They had barely said a word to each other since Shepard had explained what had happened to her, everything was so shocking, the Reapers imminent arrival, the destruction of the mass effect relay. And not to mention, that batarian colony, he didn't know what to say, he wanted to comfort her, but the only words that came to his mind felt shallow and empty.
Damm it! Why couldn't he find the right words..? He cleared his throat in an attempt to say something, but instead he just continued to stare up into the starry void above Shepard's bed.
As he cleared his throat Shepard closed her increasingly tired eyes, she rested her head on the Turians warm chest. He exhaled slowly as his mind mulled over all these confusing events.
Why? Why did all of this happen to him? All he wanted to care about was Shepard, but they had the Reapers to worry about, and now… The chance of Shepard being put on trial for what happened, it's not fair, she didn't have the choice, it was life or death.
The Turian finally snapped out of his thoughts as he noticed the human falling asleep on his chest, he smiled the best he could, it was a rare site seeing his beloved mate fall asleep before him. She would often wait till he was asleep or had at least pretended to, he always wondered if it was just a human thing, he gently moved his spare talon and slowly brushed some stray strands of hair away that had fallen upon her face.
He sighed one last time and looked back up into the dark cold space above them. He didn't want to worry about the Reapers now, it was unimaginable the chaos they would cause, all he wanted to care about was his mate.
