"YOU CHEATING, FUCKING WHORE!"

"I said I was sorry!"

"BULLSHIT!" Shepard grabbed Liara by the throat, squeezing hard enough to turn her into another, unnatural shade of blue for an asari. Liara tried to summon her biotics, though she couldn't gather enough strength to do so. She couldn't breathe and wondered if Shepard would actually kill her.

But before Liara could pass out due to lack of oxygen, Shepard released her grip. Liara fell to her knees, gasping for breath.

"No, not you," Shepard turned to leave Liara's cabin, the door closing behind her.

The asari finally regained her strength and stood up, only to fall back into her chair. She knew Shepard would go for Traynor, possibly kill her, and it would be all her fault. She sighed, reflecting on the mistake she committed two days ago…

Liara was in her cabin, on the bed, sobbing. She had gotten into an argument with Shepard, although she couldn't remember why.

Her door suddenly opened, Specialist Traynor standing there, smiling.

"May I come in?" she asked quietly.

The asari simply nodded as Traynor walked in, the door closing behind her. She sat next to Liara on her huge mattress. "Something wrong?"

"Shepard," is all she could say.

"What about her?" Traynor knew they were close and they usually got along fairly well. The fact that the Commander made her cry surprised her.

"I-I… She…" Liara stammered.

The Specialist took Liara's chin and gently turned her head to face her. "It's alright. I could make the pain go away."

Before Liara could reply to that, Traynor pulled her lips to meet hers. They were warm and soft and the kiss was passionate, unlike Shepard's kisses in every way. Traynor began to unbuckle her belt while Liara attempted to unfasten her collar. The two quickly undressed. Liara reached Traynor's underwear... her very large underwear. She abruptly stopped the kiss.

"Granny panties?"

Traynor smiled sheepishly.

Liara shrugged her shoulders and they continued.

They woke up in a tangle of brown and blue. A thought occured to Liara. She had cheated on Shepard. And she was bound to find out about this. Although the commander usually had an even temper, she had told Liara that she had a long history of tragic relationships, mostly ending because her partners had found someone else.

While Liara was deep in thought, Traynor let out a loud, high-pitched fart that lasted for five seconds. Liara spun her head around only to find the human fast asleep. After a few moments, the stench had reached her nose and it was so strong her eyes started to water. What made it worse was that Traynor let out more farts until one really loud one woke her up.

"Nngh, that was amazing," she muttered. Traynor saw Liara gagging. "Is there something wrong Liara? Are you... crying?"

"*Cough*, no I just *cough* need some fresh air."
