Hey guys! I hope you all are enjoying this journey of mine. I know this isn't how the makeup goes in ME3, but I don't care. I don't want to directly copy the game. I apologize for any grammatical errors. I wrote this on my tablet today and did a quick look over on it, fixing some things I found. Also I would appreciate feedback on this if you would. I love hearing from my readers. I'm sorry this wasn't as long as I said it would be. Life is getting it's butt in the way. That and... I'm still trying to finish ME3. ^^

"Kaidan you're standing now!" I grin as I walk into the hospital room. He turns away from the window, smiling that gorgeous smile of his.

"That I am. If you came to break me out, you're a little late." I laugh.

"Oh you. So when did the doctor say you could go?"

"In a few days, they just want to make sure everything is fine. I can't go all out with my biotics yet, but hey. It could be worse."

"Yeah..." I tuck a stray piece of my brown hair behind my ear. My hair's starting to get longer than the regulations state it can be. Oh well, let's see how long I can get away with it.

"I actually wanted to ask you advice about something."

"Oh?"

"I was offered to become a spectre."

"Oh wow Kaidan, you must feel honored."

"I do I just... I asked Udina to wait because I feel unsure if I should take the position or not."

"I say you should go for it. It's a wonderful opportunity. You won't dissappoint them. We could do with another spectre from our race."

"Hmm yeah. I'll think on it." He takes a seat in one of the small easy chairs by the window. He motions to the one next to him and I sit down.

"So how long can you stay here?"

"Ohhh I'm sure I can spare a few hours. I'm sure the Normandy will be fine without me."

"Well if you're sure."

"Of course I am. I'm sure nothing will go wrong."

"Depends on who you would ask." I laugh, pushing the stray strands of my blonde hair out of my eyes.

"I've been thinking a lot about... us." Kaidan says, focusing his brown eyes on me.

"And?" I ask, my voice quiet.

"First I want to know something, are the rumors about you and Thane true?"

"What? No. Not at all. Stupid reporters thinking they can publish anything they assume." I bite back other choice words that come to mind. "I... hadn't been able to deal with a relationship yet."

"Ah... I see." He bite his lip a moment. "See, I still love you. I never stopped... when I heard you were dead, it tore me apart. I just couldn't believe... you have survived so many things that should've surely killed you. Yet you always lived. Always came back to fight another day. I didn't believe Joker at first when he had saw you get spaced." His voice breaks a little. I reach out my hand, gently resting it on his arm. "I waited for days, hoping to see you turn up. You never came. It was then I realized you were gone forever.

And then two years later I hear of something about you being alive again. I passed it off as just some mistake. Then, your name started popping up more and more. I found out Cerebus had apparently brought you back from the dead. I don't know what hit harder: the fact you were alive again or that you were with Cerebrus now.

When I saw you on Horizon, I was so happy to see you, I honestly was. Then the stupid memory of you being with Cerebrus crept back into my mind and I just lost it. I didn't even feel like myself during that, I was so angry and bitter. Look what it did to us... threw us apart for several more years." He looks down. "I thought about contacting you after you defeated the collectors, but I didn't want to distract you from your work. Then, after all that and you were grounded... I just. I don't know. I supposed you wouldn't want me around."

"Oh Kaidan, I never thought that. I mean, yeah. I was mad at what you had said on Horizon, but I never stopped loving you. Why do you think I haven't been able to be with anyone else? You're the one..." Our eyes lock then, studying the other's face. Unable to stop myself, I lean forward, gently pressing my lips to his. To my relief he returns the kiss. When we part, he places his hand on my cheek.

"So... does this mean we can try again?"

"Yes. Yes it does."
