Sorry about the wait and the length of this chapter. Life got kinda busy there... I'll update sooner this time, I promise!
Enjoy anyways! I'm really looking forward to the next two chapters of this story ^.^
Shoutout to Zuguzita for their catch in the last chapter. I had accidentally switched dextro and levo so they were in the wrong spots . Thanks buddy!
The Call
Garrus snaps up the last of his meal and reaches into his take-out bag for a napkin. As he goes to wipe his fingers off, a smudge of black catches his attention. He opens up the folded serviette and twitches his mandibles in surprise.
Shepard is sitting at home doing homework when her omni-tool pings her of an incoming message. She jerks so hard that her knee hits her desk. She answers and, after a brief a pause to compose herself,
"Hello?"
"Jane?" Her stomach does a backflip as she hears the unmistakable flang of a Turian.
"Speaking!" she can't keep the warm glow out of her voice.
"It's Garrus, we meet on the Citadel today," oh god, he just sounds so confident….
"Hi, Garrus!" Humans usually aren't so happy, right…? Did- Is she this happy to be talking to me?
"So, I uh- I was just wondering…" Wondering, wondering, wondering what?! I can feel my heart in my throat, this cannot be healthy…
"Wondering what, Garrus?" What do you think, human? No- don't get mad at her for your own fear.
"Do you want to, uh, go out some time, maybe?" Keep it together Jane, keep. It. Togethor!
"Yeah, of course! Saturday is good…?" She is definitely this happy to be talking to me. Huh, wonder why.
"I'll see you at one? In front of that Ramen place in Zakera Ward," Do they sell Dextro food there…? What should I wear…?
"Sounds good! I'll see you then!" That went surprisingly well… Oh spirits, what do I tell Dad?
If that was at all confusing, let me know. Because I don't know how it turned out but I really wanted to get inside each of their heads as this was happening so you could really see what they were thinking.
