Simple Interests

Jane Shepard let a smile cross her face as her favourite fish swam close against the glass of the fish tank. She pushed herself onto her tip toes as he swam up higher. "Hey." She said, tapping the glass. "I thought we were having a moment."

"Jane, stop harassing the fish."

"I'll annoy Mr Bubbles as much as I like." Shepard called back to the turian lying in her bed as she followed the fish across the tank, the extra height giving her a nice view. She realised she probably looked ridiculous making faces at her fish in her tank and undies.

"Wait, you can do that without the shoes?" Garrus asked.

"Do what?" Shepard replied, "Stand on my tip-toes? Yeah I don't need heels to hold my feet like this."

She moved away from the tank, still holding her feet in position as she walked back down the stairs in her cabin, Garrus watching her intently.

"Intrigued?"

"Maybe." Garrus laughed.

"I can do a good impression of you." Shepard told him with a smirk, bending her knees slightly as she stalked back across to the bed, carefully crossing one leg over the other as she'd seen him do many times as they'd snuck into cover.

"I do not walk like that." Garrus disputed.

Shepard didn't bother to wipe the amused look off her face as she made a swift jump onto the bed, still managing to balance herself on the balls of her feet. "Yeah you do." She said back, looking down at his unamused face.

Garrus didn't miss a beat as he made a quick swipe at her feet so she fell back down beside him. "Your impression is a gross, inaccurate exaggeration."

"I dare you to watch vid footage of yourself." Shepard prodded him as she propped herself back up with her elbows. "Dare you."

"I have more interesting things to watch at the moment." Garrus drawled back to her.

Shepard just laughed and moved in to kiss him, pressing her body up closer as she felt talons brush through her hair, coming down to trace along her jawline.

"You and your sick fascination with aliens." Shepard whispered as they broke apart.

Shepard couldn't stop laughing when he just god damn growled at her and started licking and nipping at the part of her neck he knew was ticklish.

Payback was always the best kind of bitch when it came to Garrus.


Prompt: What with turians having digitigrade feet and humans walking naturally flat on theirs, Garrus is confused and intruiged one evening when he sees Shep standing on her tip-toes to reach something off the top shelf next to her desk. Cue Shep showing him she can walk around on her tip-toes too. Fluff and sexytimes ensue.

Note: Not foot fetish stuff, just difference-in-our-bodies cuteness.

Mega bonus points for it taking place AFTER the reaper invasion has been sucessfully dealt with, because happy ending fluff makes everything better 3
