The morning was harsh and his head hurt badly. He switched place so he was lying with his face upwards. An uncomfortable, warm wind blew over his face. It happened multiple times and then he heard someone. At last he remembers that he did not sleep at his own apartment.
"Johnny, how come he is such a ugly bastard and why is the ugly bastard here?" Garrus remembered that voice, who could forget the person that crushed his fringes a day ago. He sighted and lifted his had to his face. How could this day be any worse?
John, knew that he would regret bringing Garrus home last night, but he could not leave him in the club. He knew Jane liked sleeping long into the late morning hour so it would take a while until she discovered the sleeping turian in their living room. But of course Jane had awoken early and he had not yet told her about their night guest. He was in the middle of making breakfast, after a quick run to the gym, when he heard his sister.
"Jane, leave him alone!"
"I never knew you were into turians." Jane said while walking into the small kitchen.
"And I never will. Come on, I could not leave him at the bar, he could barely sit up straight."
"So now its okey to invite people over without telling each other?" Jane raised her eyebrows and crossed her arms.
"He is one of my crew members, not a c-sec officer anymore so stop hating him. Now go out and buy some dextro-food for him while I make breakfast." She looked very displeased, but John gave her a look that reminding her about the promise he made yesterday. Jane breathed for some time before swallowing her pride and walked out of the apartment.
John brought a big plate with him and kicked the turian gentle. Garrus withdrew his legs and brought himself to sit up. He yawn and look like he had seen better days.
"So you actually live with that woman?"
"When we have shore leave at the same time. It's normal to share apartment, they are expensive."
"I did not see you as a steady relationship-kind of man"
"I'm not, so your instincts are right." mumbled John between big chunks of food.
"Then why?"
"Simple, she is my sister." Garrus went silence and John noticed how his pale beige neck skin got a more purple tone.
"John I'm-"
"It's okey. She is hard to handle and she had not exactly made a good impression."
"It was still not okey to talk about her like that."
"And I will break your nose if you keep up doing that." John commented casual when he tryed to cool down the coffee. They look at each other and then they started laughing.
"No seriously"
"You could not take me down even if I was as high as a hanar on red sand." A candy bar flew though the air and hit the turian in the head.
"Could not find any better, so he have to settle with that one." Jane said while walking straight into the kitchen. John saw how Garrus focused on breathing to calm himself down. He almost felt sorry for the turian about the coming missions.
