Inappropriate Assertions

"Hey there." Shepard addressed the young officer with a quick smile. "I'm after Captain Baily, any idea where I can find him?"

The turians mandibles clicked a few times as he looked up towards Shepard and Garrus, eyes staring intently on the human. "The Captain is in interrogation at the moment, ma'am."

"That's fine." Shepard replied. "Could you please tell him to contact Commander Shepard when he's done?"

The turian just looked at her gobsmacked. "The Shepard? The one who took down Saren?"

Garrus' low laugh was stifled as Shepard sent her elbow back towards his stomach with one swift movement.

"Yeah, that Shepard." She replied slowly. "Look could you just-"

"Did you really drive a mako through a mass relay?" The officer interrupted again.

"Yes, but-"

"-And then took down that Reaper? I know we're not supposed to believe that story but-"

Shepard held up a hand to try and make him stop, her face now coloured with a pink tinge. "Look, this really isn't the best time or place for this."

The officers face plates shifted as he leant closer over the desk. "Would you like to discuss it with me later?"

That was a little less funny to Garrus.

"That is enough." He said before Shepard could reply.

The officer finally noted Garrus' presence behind the Commander. "I don't think the lady needs a bodyguard."

"Boyfriend, not bodyguard." Garrus snapped back. "Shouldn't you be sending that message to your Captain before he comes back and finds you've been chatting up women instead of doing your job?"

The younger turian was sent into a different kind of stunned silence this time, quickly hitting the keys on his terminal before looking back to Shepard. "Captain Baily will contact you soon, Commander."

"Thank you." She replied, before nodding at Garrus, the two of them walking out of main C-Sec office.

"Cocky little-" Shepard laughed as the rest of the sentence became untranslatable turian slang.

"Reminds me of someone I met here a while back." Shepard said, a smirk crossing her face.

"That was below the belt, Jane."

"Only because it's a little bit true." She laughed, leaning towards him and pressing a kiss to the side of his face. "Come on, we can probably go grab those Viper mods before we have to come back."

"Sounds good." He said as Shepard tugged at his arm and linking it with her own as they made their way down into the wards.

I don't generally go the way of 'overprotective Garrus', but I wanted to see if I could write this in a believable manner.

Prompt: The Citadel. Shepard, Garrus and a young, enthusiastic (Turian) C-Sec operative with a really bad case of hero-worship. At first, Garrus is amused (especially if The Almighty Reaper Conqueror and Vanquisher of Evil aka his darling Shepard is embarrassed at such open display of fangirling...err fanboying?) but as the conversation continues, it becomes clear to our favourite sniper he needs to step in and let the youngster know that Shepard is off limits. Extra double winning points with whipped cream on top if the whole thing ends with just-the-right-amount-of-possessive-Garrus-lovin', but minor display of fluffy affection will make this OP happy too.
