Garrus Vakarian arrived at the Citadel and followed steps of Lantar Sidonis to the C-Sec academy. He was rerouted to Bailey by Alice since Lantar spoke to him so Garrus listened to her and headed for the elevator that would take him to Bailey's office. Bailey was already preparing himself to leave the office because Earth time of midnight was approaching and he wished to be at his apartment to celebrate with some of his friends. Bailey was walking towards the elevator when suddenly Garrus appeared in it, "Garrus?" Bailey was surprised, "Hi, Bailey. Have you got a minute?" Garrus asked, "Actually, I was just about to leave so I could make it to New year's celebrations so if you don't mind I'd like to go now!" Bailey tried to walk around Garrus but the turian didn't let himself be tossed away like that. He grabbed Bailey by his shirt, "Hold on, Bailey… you've got fifteen minutes to midnight and I think you don't have problems with running." Garrus said, pushing Bailey back, "Alright, alright… I don't want to tempt your patience, Garrus but I don't have much time so please, be quick!" Bailey said, "Lantar Sidonis. My information broker told me he was here. I know he worked for C-Sec so it's obvious you have to know something." Garrus said calmly and Bailey took a deep breath, "Lantar was here but not for himself. He was looking for his former colleague who cleaned his file." Bailey explained, "Interesting… tell me about this colleague of his." Garrus said. It almost sounded like he was jealous, "Name's Dartus Raidat. Turian, 50 years old veteran. Fought in the First contact war, lost his wife there. He worked at C-Sec for 20 years but I had to fire him." Bailey explained and Garrus crossed his arms, "20 years and you had to fire him? What did he do?" Garrus asked, "Falsified classification of Sidonis' criminal record. Also caused false fire alarm. I just couldn't let him work here with those violations against regulations." Bailey said, "Why would he do those silly things?" Garrus asked more, "Hey, I am not expert for personal relations, but I think that Dartus had soft spot for Sidonis. If you find Dartus, you'll find Sidonis." Bailey explained and Garrus rubbed his faceplates, "Alright, didn't Dartus say where he's going?" Garrus asked, "Illium. He left some credits for Sidonis too so he could get ship there. Can I go now?" Bailey asked and Garrus gestured him towards the elevator, "Happy new year, Bailey…" Garrus said but Bailey was already gone. Garrus suddenly felt a wave of aggression rushing through his body. He needed to punch something so he hit the wall with his fist, "Fuck! Why is it always so complicated?! Oh well… shape up, Vakarian, you brought this on yourself. It's your fault Lantar is still keeping his distance from you. Good job beating him down and threatening him with gun by the way…" Garrus talked to himself. His omni-tool flickered and Garrus activated it, seeing Liara appearing on hologram, "What's new?" he asked, "Sidonis is on Illium now. He has been seen with former C-Sec officer named Dartus Raidat." Liara said, "Hmm, I know that twice now, thanks Liara!" he smiled, "You mean you knew?" Liara asked him, "Yeah. Bailey just told me, but it's not enough and I'd like to know more." Garrus said, "I'm Shadow Broker. Just tell me what you need and I'll find it!" she smiled, "Give me permanent address of Dartus Raidat on Illium. I'm gonna head there right now." Garrus said and Liara forwarded the information to Garrus' omni-tool. Garrus was leaving C-Sec and headed for docking bay to leave the Citadel and head for Illium.
In the meantime, on Illium. two turians sat on bed next to each other. The older one, Dartus Raidat was providing special treatment to Lantar Sidonis. Lantar's mandibles were fractured from Garrus' punches and most of the moves he did with them hurt him badly. Smiling, talking, laughing, any of these were painful but each one in different scale. Talking was the least painful one. Lantar stared at Dartus' face, into his dark red eyes. People who wouldn't know Dartus would say he was personification of evil according to his look, but he was loving turian longing for somebody who would love him as well. Dartus was very thorough and careful about bandaging Lantar's plates so he didn't feel much pain, "There you go. It's not who knows how sexy but it could be fine in few days." Dartus said, smile in his voice. Lantar just stared at him as they both smiled at each other, "I didn't feel anything. Where did you learn to do this?" Lantar asked him, "Basic C-Sec training but also local law reinforcement with asari taught me few tricks. See? Even this old turian can learn new tricks!" Dartus said with amusement in his voice and Lantar chuckled. They stared out of the window at the star disappearing between towers, "You did a lot for me, Dartus. More than I could ask for. I don't even want to know how many credits you had to spend on me." Lantar shook his head, smile behind those words, "Definitely it was more than 40.000 credits when you think of those credit chits." Dartus said when Lantar couldn't help himself but laughed. He stopped laughing once he felt talon of the other turian holding his own. Lantar looked at it, then at Dartus who was smiling at him, "But it was worth it." Dartus added. There Lantar came with his blushing again, he didn't tell Dartus the words he wanted to hear, "I'm still waiting." He said and Lantar leaned against Dartus' shoulder, "Alright, alright! I love you! Are you happy? Is this what you wanted to hear?" Lantar said, amused. Dartus rested his talon around Lantar's belt, pulling him closer for cuddles, "Well, did it hurt to say that?" Dartus smiled and Lantar had mixed feelings. He wished to punch Dartus for saying that sentence but at the same time he didn't want to hurt him, "Ugh! You're such a pedant! Can't you just see that I love you without those words? I swear I'll-" Lantar wanted to say he would punch him but his mouth was blocked with Dartus' mouth. Lantar stopped talking and let Dartus to explore his mouth with tongue. He didn't feel the actual kissing before. Dartus was damn good at it. He didn't want to stop the kissing. Even when Lantar needed to take a breath, he couldn't because Dartus insisted on long, deep kissing. Every time there was an option and Dartus let Lantar breathe, Lantar inhaled fresh air in. Dartus liked the way Lantar was defenseless. It turned him on so much to hear the breathing as Lantar needed it. But Dartus wasn't sadist. He knew that Lantar needed to breathe. He smiled at his breathing. Lantar liked this as well. This was the foreplay to something bigger. His mandibles hurt so bad as they were fractured, but he sensed he was going to enjoy this so good. Usually when Lantar wished to have him fucked by somebody, he just came and asked for it. This time it was different. Dartus wanted his young turian to be aroused enough for the real action. He pushed Lantar with his heavy body down to the bed, still locked within kisses, "Oh spirits… take me… I'm all yours!" Lantar said, "Please… don't talk anymore. I want to hear something else from you…" Dartus whispered and proceeded to kissing Lantar on his neck. As a turian, he bit him and Lantar cried out as he did that.
Enough of the foreplay. Dartus got on his knees, pulling up his shirt. Lantar lying on the bed did the same. Lantar and Dartus went back to kissing while they assisted each other in pulling their pants down, "B-Bite me again…!" Lantar said in between breathing and Dartus fulfilled his wish. He bit Lantar in the neck again, making him cry out once more. He bit him stronger, but just because he knew that Lantar wished to feel it. Their pants were down, shoes as well and they were only in their underwear. They were naked, ready to proceed for the real action. Lantar spread his legs for Dartus, but the older turian took them, resting Lantar's legs on his shoulders. Lantar stared at his lover above him, gasping for breath still from the foreplay but he forgot how Dartus could be rough. Dartus thrusted his cock deeply inside Lantar before he could get another breath. He was overwhelmed with pain but at the same time felt how badly he wished this. They weren't in C-Sec office anymore so he didn't need to hide his pleasure from Dartus pounding him. Dartus was making sure that Lantar was going to scream. He thrusted so roughly in some moments that Lantar rather wished he didn't let Dartus take him so easily, "Oh! F-F-Fuck!" Lantar exclaimed as the friction in the bottom parts of his body was causing him to sweat while not screaming of pain. Dartus loved this struggle to scream. It only motivated him to pound Lantar harder, deeper. He grounded Lantar's abdomen to make sure he wouldn't flinch. Lantar was in paradise. The way Dartus pounded gave him strange satisfaction, making him to release all constrictors in his body. He lubricated Dartus' cock, making it easier for him to thrust. Dartus saw how relaxed Lantar looked. He bent down to him, kissing him again and Lantar made sure he wrapped arms around his neck. He felt his instincts, there was no way to stop this. Lantar used the chance and bit Dartus strongly at his neck, "Ah!" Dartus exclaimed silently. He wanted to go back but Lantar held him tightly. It hurt him at first, but then Dartus smirked, "Alright… if you wish hell, you'll get it!" he growled and pounded Lantar the way he was pushed. Lantar had to release his grip of hands around on Dartus' back and clench his talons deeply inside the bed mattress. He had to breathe again because Dartus was making his ass explode. He released his bite, breathing loudly in between moaning. Dartus used this moment for his own enjoyment and bit Lantar on the other side of neck, repaying him the bite. Lantar was literally screaming, of pain, of pleasure, all at once. It was miracle that law reinforcement didn't hear it because if they did, they would definitely think somebody was murdering Lantar. The pleasure was too high, Lantar couldn't handle it and reached the climax hands free way. Only thanks to Dartus and his rough humping, he was aroused to the point he sprayed his juice all over his own chest and because Dartus was hooked with his teeth in Lantar's neck, he got sprayed too, "Oh shit… Dartus!" Lantar gasped while climaxing. He let Lantar's neck be, raising on knees, "Oh, someone's messy!" He said, hitting Lantar's sensitive spot hard but slowed down, inhaling and exhaling in significant way, feeling his own climax reaching to him. Dartus couldn't resist anymore. After few more thrusts, he filled Lantar's intestines, "Hnn- Lantar!" and moaned loud Lantar's name. The older turian let Lantar's legs to rest on bed. He pulled out his manhood, both of them were looking at each other, gasping for air.
Dartus lied on the bed, head supported with pillow. Lantar gathered some forces and crawled next to Dartus. He buried his head under his shoulder and placed one talon on his chest. Dartus looked out of the window while he placed his talon on Lantar's hip, rubbing it gently, "I missed you, Dartus. I really did." Lantar said, purring happily, "I missed you too, kid. It's good to have you here." He said quietly while rubbing Lantar's skin, "Do you think I could join the law reinforcement here?" Lantar asked and Dartus looked at him, smiling, "Why? You want to cover my ass?" he chuckled slightly, "Yeah. I need job and the best one is when I can be with you." Lantar said and Dartus laughed, "I don't need my ass covered. But you know what? I'm rooting for you. I'll watch your ass because we both know it's mine." He said and Lantar closed his eyes, nuzzling against Dartus' skin, "Lantar?" Dartus asked, "Hmm…?" Lantar left, tired, wished to sleep, "Happy birthday, my boy." Dartus said and Lantar smiled, without any other words he was slowly falling asleep. It was already January 1, 2189 and Lantar was 24 by now. It was his birthday and Dartus didn't forget about it. Lantar didn't even know how could Dartus know, but it didn't matter. He already received the best present for his birthday – Dartus himself.
Garrus arrived at Illium with his ship. Lantar and Dartus were sleeping together for two hours and Garrus had Lantar's precise location thanks to address of Dartus on Illium. He was close to reaching Lantar. Obviously he really regretted what he had done because Garrus was able to lay down his plans on celebrations of the New year on Earth. No matter what Lantar's reaction would be. He needed Lantar to hear him out. Garrus arrived at the residential district and stopped by one door on the address, "This should be it. Alright, Garrus… you've come all the way here, now is your chance to make things right…" Garrus thought, taking deep breath, ringing the doorbell. One minute passed, two minutes, three minutes, "They don't seem to be home. Did Liara give me even the right address? Perhaps they already moved away…" Garrus thought. He turned around as it appeared that Lantar wasn't in there. Garrus was disappointed. He hoped to see Lantar and apologize for what he had done. Apparently this was signal that he should give up.
Suddenly, the door opened and Garrus stopped his walk, looking back. Dartus appeared in the door, dressed up in civil clothing. He and Garrus locked their gazes at each other. Long minute of silence passed between them until one of them decided to break it, "Dartus Raidat, I presume?" Garrus started. Dartus gave him serious look, "Garrus Vakarian. I didn't expect turian hero to come to Illium. Guessing you are not here to give autographs." Dartus said, crossing his arms and leaning against the door frame, "So what can I do for you?" he asked, "I'm here because my information broker gave me your address. I'm looking for Lantar Sidonis. I need to see him." Garrus said, Dartus seemed to be slightly annoyed, "I don't want to disappoint you, but that isn't possible." Dartus explained and Garrus crossed his arms as well, "Why? Where is he?" Garrus asked, "Lantar is sleeping just few rooms behind these doors with bandaged mandibles. You know, with those fractures you caused him." Dartus explained, pointing at his door behind him. Garrus felt anger building within him, "I need to talk to him! I want to make things right for once, goddamn it!" Garrus growled, "Well, you maybe wish so, but Lantar might not want to see you. You expressed enough by hurting him and threatening him with gun." Dartus said and Garrus charged against him, pinning him to the wall, "Who the hell you think you are?! You can't just make decisions for him!" he growled. Suddenly he got kicked away from Dartus. Before Garrus found himself walking backwards, Dartus pushed Garrus to the ground and grounded him, "I love Lantar, ok?! I want the best for him! He was trying so hard to impress you by redeeming his sins and you just beat him up because he expressed his feelings towards you! He didn't deserve that!" Dartus hissed at Garrus' face. Garrus wished to attack Dartus, but he sensed Dartus was right and took a deep breath, "Yeah… I screwed up, I know that twice now. I just want to let him know I regret, that I know how he felt before when I was obsessed with revenge…" Garrus said peacefully. Dartus got on his feet, offering Garrus his hand to help him stand up. Garrus got on his feet with help of his, "I am man of my word, Garrus. I understand your intentions. However, that kid was broken when I found him here at the bar. I gave him some consolation and he is smiling again. That is how it should stay…" Dartus explained, Garrus didn't answer, feeling his guilt again, "We can work this out peacefully. I'll arrange meeting with all three of us so you two can talk together but don't expect it would work, Garrus. If I see that Lantar feels offended by you, we'll leave. Are you in?" Dartus asked and Garrus nodded at him.
Dartus and Garrus parted their ways. Dartus returned to his apartment few feet behind him. He went back to Lantar, undressed himself and lied down beside him, pulling him closer and falling asleep again. Seeing Lantar's sleeping face brought Dartus euphoria. Hormones of happiness flooded all his body knowing he achieved Lantar's heart. Garrus knew that Dartus was going to let him know about the meeting time and place through his omni-tool. In the meantime, Garrus had two options. He could sleep either at some hotel on Illium or go back to the docking bay and sleep on his ship. He didn't want to waste credits so he rather stayed on his ship. It was cheaper, smaller and most important, it was his ship. Even that Garrus was offered the option of meeting with Lantar, he knew it wouldn't be nice meeting. There would be a lot of hard feelings and Lantar wouldn't be easy to talk with, not after what Garrus did to him.
