Yolo
A groan echoed around the large empty room as commander Evelyn shepard moved, her whole body hurting in the process. The body on the couch yawned, showing lines of sharp teeth and sat forward. Shepard turned, an arm wrapped loosely across her ribs as her stomach made a rumbling sound.
"How're you feeling?" A voice said and shepard looked at the figure on the couch. Blue stood out against ashen grey, a lighter blue covered a striking blue eye and a bandage covered the right side of his face.
"Garrus." Her voice came out disused and flaky and garrus vakarian stood up, worried for her. "What- Ow! What happened?" She said and garrus sat beside her on the bed and placed a hand gently on her forehead. Evelyn groaned and leaned into his touch. "Your so warm..." Garrus smiled as she shivered. He sighed and pulled his legs up beside her.
"You drove the hammer head of the road and hit a lake. The manifold was cracked with the cold anyway and it split, water started coming in rather fast. You were too far away for liara to protect with biotics so we had to pull you out of the water before she got us all to safety. You were in there for about a minute and were the same colour as liara almost by the time we got back." He looked down at shepard and placed a hand on her cheek. " Are you still feeling cold?" Evelyn nodded and garrus smiled.
"Very." She muttered, eyes closing again before snapping open as an arm pulled at her. Warmth hit her as she was pulled against this thing and she snuggled closer, nuzzling a softer part of this thing. A rumbling shot through it and shepard looked up, only just having a clear shot of what her heater was. Garrus laid there on his side with arms wrapped around her. She blinked at him before realising he was ontop of the covers. She moved and garrus let go quickly.
"S- sorry shepard I didn't me-" shepard silenced him and gestured for him to get in. Garrus blinked and stared at her.
"The longer you stand there the colder it gets so hurry up your scaly turian ass and get in." Garrus laughed and pulled his shoes off before climbing in, shepard wasting no time before returning to her previous position. "It's warmer if your under too." Garrus smiled and nodded, his fringe catching slightly on the soft human pillows. He turned on his side so she could lie comfortably and ao she could fully appreciate his higher temperature. He looked down at her and smiled gently, his chest swelling with protectiveness. He gently brushed a lock of red hair off her face and wrapped his free arm around her waist, his other trapped under her head.
"Better?" He asked, his sub-harmonics gently lulling shepard to sleep again. She nodded and her hair tickled his neck, causing him to trill happily. She drew back slightly and looked at him. "Sorry, tickled slightly." She smiled and went back to being snuggled against him.
"Garrus, talk to me." Garrus stilled for a sudden. "I like your voice." She mumbled and garrus chuckled.
"Well shepard you wouldn't be the first to boost my ego that way." He heard her groan.
"Great, that's just what we need. Garrus Vakarian with an even bigger head." He chuckled again and shepard smiled. He thought for a second and smiled.
"Alright but I hope you don't mind hearing it in turian." Shepard smiled and shook her head.
"Not at all." She said and garrus smiled.
"You know, some would think you crazy right now. Curled up in bed with an apex preditor with sharp pointy teeth and claws." He said and shepard laughed.
"Yolo garrus. And your just a big teddy bear really." He blinked.
"I'm sorry, my translator must have glitched. What did you say to start with? And what's a bear?" Shepard laughed against him and he purred almost.
"Yolo. You only live once. It's an old human thing. We make phrases shorter for ease. And a bear, they're cute." He looked down at her.
"You called me cute?"
"And fluffy." Garrus' mandibles went slack.
"How am I fluffy?" Shepard laughed and garrus stilled, relishing in the fact he made her laugh so easily. She fell silent and he started his story.
12 hours later, liara entered shepard's cabin to see a perculiar sight. A red headed human was curled up asleep against a turian. The asari smiled and took a picture, blackmail purposes ofcourse.
Afterall; yolo.
