After they had made it out of the galactic core after destroying the collector base, things started calming down around the Normandy. Everyone had started to talk about what they were planning on doing now that they'd come back from a suicide mission alive. Shepard already knew what came next for her, but she didn't want to think about that right now, so she decided to distract herself by doing her usual rounds of the ship, talking to her crew and friends. She headed into Kasumi's room and saw her sitting on the couch where she usually was and reading one of her books.
When Kasumi heard the door open, she looked up from the book and smiled, "Hey Shep."
"Hey." Shepard greeted back with a smile of her own and sat down on the couch in front of Kasumi. "I just wanted to check in and make sure that you were okay."
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just... don't you ever drag me into another suicide mission again."
"No worries there. I never want to do another one, either."
She and Kasumi both laughed, but then, Kasumi suddenly remembered something and a smirk appeared on her face. "By the way, I heard that someone saw Garrus heading up to your cabin with a bottle of champagne."
Shepard blushed a bit, but she smiled happily as she glanced away. "Yeah, he came up for a while."
"I'm glad that you two managed to get in some alone time before that shitstorm at the collector base." Kasumi smiled knowingly at Shepard. "I knew he was going to. It was obvious that he was thinking about it a lot."
Shepard looked at her, confused, "What do you mean?"
"You didn't notice? He started looking at you differently and remember when you wore that dress I got you down to the mess hall before going to help Samara take down her daughter?" Shepard nodded. "He was practically undressing you with his eyes then."
"What? No, he wasn't." She protested, but in her head, she thought, 'Was he?'
"Oh, yes, he was." Kasumi chuckled. "Trust me, Shep. I may not be an expert on turian body language, but I know that look of longing when I see it. You definitely have him hooked on you now." She laughed. "So, have you talked to him about it yet?"
"No." Shepard shook her head. "He's been busy trying to get the guns back in working order; they took a beating when we crashed on the base. So, I'm not going to interrupt his work."
Kasumi raised an eyebrow at her and folded her arms across her chest. "Are you just making an excuse so you can avoid him?"
"No, I'm not avoiding him. I have no reason to."
"And you also have no reason to not go interrupt him while he's working. Whatever he's doing he can finish later, it's not like the collectors are going to come back from the dead for revenge." That comment made Shepard laugh. "I'm serious, Shep. I think the two of you talking right now is more important than work. You both just survived an almost guaranteed death; I think the universe will forgive you two for wanting to celebrate that."
"All right, all right." Shepard chuckled as she stood up. "I take your point, and I'm going." She walked out of the room and headed towards the main battery. When she got to the door, she hesitated for a bit. She wanted to talk to him, but another part of her was nervous to do so. Of course, they had talked to each other since then, but that was in front of the rest of the crew and during the mission. This was going to be the first time they'd be talking casually, outside of work, and she wasn't sure what to expect. 'Oh, come on, Lua!' She scolded herself for being nervous. 'He's still the same Garrus, and you're still his best friend! You should be 100% comfortable around him.' With that thought in mind, she opened the door and saw him standing in front of the console, no doubt doing some calibrations. "Garrus?"
He immediately stopped what he was doing and turned around, flashing her a smile. "Hey Shepard. I was just thinking about you."
"Oh?" She asked, very curious now, and hoping that he'd say something about what happened between them in her cabin.
"Yeah, I was just thinking... first Saren, now the collectors. Remind me to never get on your bad side, Shepard." He joked.
She was a bit disappointed that he didn't say anything about what happened between them, but she hid it behind a smile and a shake of her head. "You could never get on my bad side, Garrus. You mean too much to me." Garrus smiled at her and there was a comfortable silence between them before she spoke up again. "So, could we talk about what happened?"
"What happened?" He repeated, confused, but when she gave him a look, it clicked in his brain. "Oh! Um, yeah, of course." He turned a bit and pressed the button on the console to close and seal the door so no one could interrupt them. "So... what about it?" He asked as he looked back at her, not sure what else to say.
"Well..." She rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly. "You enjoyed it, didn't you?" She frowned, "Or not?"
"Oh, no, no." He shook his head. "I definitely enjoyed it. Best way to work off stress, if you ask me."
Shepard laughed a bit and looked at him affectionately. "Good," She walked forward and took his left hand into her right as their gazes locked together, red eyes meeting blue. "Because I enjoyed it, too."
He squeezed her hand as he looked at her fondly. "Glad to hear it." He leaned down and pressed his forehead against hers and closed his eyes as he enjoyed this brief moment of intimacy. He opened his eyes again when he felt her free hand against his scarred mandible and she looked at him with a naughty look in her eyes.
"Since you liked it, maybe we could... do it again?"
"Right now?"
Shepard laughed. "No, not right this second, but..." She smirked suggestively. "Maybe you would like to come back up to my cabin in a couple hours?"
He nodded. "Let me know when you need me, and I'll be there."
"You always are." She replied with a soft smile which he returned and squeezed her hand again.
A few hours later, up in Shepard's cabin, she and Garrus were lying on her bed, both panting heavily from their exertions. Shepard had her back to Garrus as he lay behind her with his arm around her waist and his other arm underneath her head. Shepard turned around on her other side so that she was facing him and kissed the spot right above his nose. "Thank you." She said softly.
"For what?"
"For everything. You've always been right here by my side." She nuzzled her face into his neck, wrapping her arms around his waist as he tightened his grip on her, not wanting to let go.
"And there really is no place I would rather be, Lua." He whispered to her and kissed her forehead.
Shepard had to fight the urge to cry happily because of that, and she squeezed him. "I love you, Garrus."
Garrus's eyes widened at hearing that and he tensed up a bit at those words. After a moment of silence, he finally croaked out, "You love me?"
Shepard broke away from their embrace to sit up and look at him, the covers still clinging to her bare chest. "Of course I do. What do you think this whole thing has been about?"
"Sex." He replied plainly as he looked back at her, but when he saw a flash of pain flicker in her eyes, he sat up also and tried to mend things. "I mean, it's great sex, don't get me wrong." He said with a chuckle, trying to get her to smile or laugh, but his mandibles drooped when her expression didn't change.
She eyed him for a moment before asking, "Is that really all that this has meant to you?"
Garrus floundered, not sure what to do here, and he said the only thing he could think of. "Well, I... I mean, what else is there?" He shrugged.
Shepard's eyes widened and filled with hurt. She'd been happy a mere moment ago, but what he'd just said made her feel like he'd just taken her heart and smashed it on the ground, breaking it into tiny pieces. Garrus immediately knew he'd said the wrong thing, but before he could open his mouth to try and explain, Shepard got out of bed and threw on a black robe. She then picked his clothes up off the floor and tossed them in his face, "Get out." She said coldly, and the words hit him like a bullet to the chest. He pulled the clothes off his head and tried to say something, but the words died in his throat when he looked at her; she looked really angry, but behind that anger was obvious pain. "Just... go!" She growled and stormed into her bathroom, slamming the door behind her.
Garrus was just frozen for a moment before he pulled his clothes back on and walked over to the bathroom door. "Shepard..."
"I said, go, Garrus!" She yelled from inside. "That's obviously what you want!"
"I don't want to go anywhere, Shepard!" He protested. "Can you please just come out and talk to me?"
"Why? The only thing you're interested in is the sex, right? So, why do you suddenly want to talk?" She yelled, "Just leave!"
Garrus bowed his head as his shoulders slumped, dejectedly, and he slowly walked out of her cabin, casting one last sad look back before heading into the elevator.
When she heard her cabin door close behind Garrus, she fell to the floor of her bathroom in a fetal position and started crying.
A couple hours later, Tali went up to Shepard's cabin to talk to her. The door opened with no trouble and she saw Shepard sitting at her desk and staring at a picture of her and Garrus that had been taken on the citadel. "Shepard?"
Shepard immediately looked over and sat up straight, wiping the tears from her eyes. "Tali, sorry." She sniffed. "I didn't hear you come in."
"Are you okay, Shepard?" Tali asked, obviously concerned about her best friend.
"No." She answered simply.
"What happened?" She glanced at the photo that Shepard had been staring at. Garrus and Shepard were standing in front one of the fountains on the presidium with his arms wrapped around her waist from behind, and they were both smiling. "I'm guessing it has something to do with Garrus?" Shepard nodded, and Tali walked over, sitting on the desk and placed her hand on Shepard's shoulder. "What happened? You're my best friend, Shepard, and I want to help."
Shepard sniffed again and smiled at Tali. "I appreciate that, Tali, and you're my best friend, too."
Tali smiled warmly behind her mask. "Now tell me everything." She asked, and Shepard took a deep breath before she began to do just that.
After her talk with Shepard, Tali was storming towards the main battery, going down to confront Garrus. When the door slid open, she saw Garrus sitting on his cot with his hands covering his face. "Garrus!" She growled angrily. "Guess who I just got done talking to!"
"Tali, please-" He tried to stop her, but she just cut him off and continued.
"How could you say such a thing to Shepard?! How could you even think it?!"
"Think what?" Kasumi asked as she suddenly uncloaked herself and Tali jumped in shock.
"Keelah, how long were you standing there?"
"I saw you storming down here like a woman on a mission, so I got curious and followed you." Kasumi answered. "So, what happened with Shepard?" Tali then proceeded to tell Kasumi everything that Shepard had told her, and when she was done, Kasumi gaped at Garrus unbelievingly. "What else is there?!" She all but shrieked. "Shepard asks you if sex is really all it meant to you, and you say "what else is there?"?!" She was completely flabbergasted.
"It was dumb, I know!" Garrus said, getting irritated at being ganged up on.
"It was more than dumb! It was completely insensitive!" Kasumi yelled. "Man, you should write a book: How to Offend Women in Five Syllables or Less."
Garrus growled in annoyance and stood up. "I get it, okay?! I'm an idiot and an asshole!" He sighed and ran his hand down the front of his face in exasperation. "I panicked! I've never had someone tell me that they love me before! No one outside my family, that is, but I know it was a stupid thing to say! I don't need you both coming down here and attacking me for something that I know I shouldn't have said!" He slumped back down onto his cot. "I just don't know what to do."
Tali let out a deep sigh. "Just give Shepard time to calm down and talk to her once you have the opportunity."
"In the meantime, you can think about what you're going to say to her. I mean, you have to see more in Shepard than just a fuck buddy." Kasumi added.
"Of course I do!" He said, sounding offended that she would even say that. "She's my best friend, the one person I can always rely on, no matter what!"
"Well... it's a start." Tali sighed.
Early in the morning, around 3 am, Garrus was still awake. He just lay on his back on the cot as he stared up at the ceiling and his mind raced with thoughts; he couldn't believe what a complete idiot he'd been. Honestly, part of him just wanted to break down and cry in despair, but he fought it. He finally got off the cot when he decided to take a walk around the ship to see if he could get his mind off of it, if not, then just walk around until he passes out from exhaustion. He walked out of the main battery and into the mess hall, where he was shocked to find Shepard raiding the fridge. She hadn't noticed him yet, so he decided to speak up and try to break the ice. "Little late for dinner, don't you think?" Shepard looked over at him in surprise, but then just looked away again and started walking away, but Garrus rushed over before she could get far and grabbed her wrist. "Wait, Lua, I want to talk to you."
"Look, Garrus," She said rather coldly as she pulled her wrist out of his grip. "Just forget about it. Forget what I said to you this afternoon and just forget those times in my cabin ever even happened. You were right from the beginning, we were crazy to even to think about trying this." She said all that without ever looking at him and walked back to the elevator to head back up to her cabin.
Garrus just stood there in shock. Her words had cut him even deeper than they had earlier. She wanted to forget it ever happened? Were they even friends anymore? Garrus turned around and just walked back into the main battery, no longer caring that warm tears were running down his face now.
The next day, Garrus woke up late and looked around the room in a bit of a haze. He was honestly surprised that he'd managed to to fall asleep at all. He slowly got out of bed and grogily walked out of the room and into the mess hall again.
"Hey." Jack greeted. "You look like shit."
"Yeah, fuck you, too, Jack." He glared at her.
"Whoa. Someone woke up with the stick up their ass up there even more. What happened?" She smirked and shot back, "Did Shepard fuck you in the ass with a dildo, or something?"
He glared at her, being in no mood for her. "You know what? Why don't you just go fucking piss off someone else?! You don't even know what the hell you're talking about!" He shouted and stormed off into the medbay.
Everyone in the mess hall was shocked at his outburst, even Jack. Tali had watched the whole thing from the table where she sat next to Thane, and she let out a deep sigh. She then got up from her seat and and walked into the medbay where Garrus was asking Doctor Chakwas for anything that could releave a headache. When Chakwas walked over to the medicine cabinet, Tali walked over to Garrus. "Hey, what's the matter?" She asked, "Did something happen last night between you and Shepard?"
"I don't want to talk about it, and no offense, Tali, but it's really not any of your business, either." After Chakwas gave him the pills for his headache, he walked out of the medbay without another word.
After Garrus left, Tali let out a deep sigh and she headed out of the medbay and went down the hall to Kasumi's room. "Hey." She greeted as the door opened and she walked in.
Kasumi looked up from what she was reading and gave Tali a smile. "Hey Tali. What's up?"
"I think something bad happened between Garrus and Shepard last night. Garrus is really on edge right now."
"What do you mean?" Kasumi asked as she placed the datapad on the nightstand and stood up.
"He snapped at Jack in the middle of the mess hall, in front of everybody, and when I asked him what happened, he told me that it wasn't any of my business and just walked away." Tali sighed deeply. "I thought maybe you could help, you're good at this kind of thing. You're always playing match maker around the Normandy. I mean, you even helped those two crew members in the CIC get together. So, will you help?"
"You're damn right I'll help!" Kasumi said with determination. "These two obviously need help in seeing that they're perfect for one another!" Together, she and Tali sat down and came up with a plan on how they were going to fix things. "All right. So, you go talk to Garrus and I'll talk to Shep."
"Garrus has already brushed me off, Kasumi, he's not going to talk to me."
"Fine. Then I'll go talk to Garrus and you talk to Shepard." Kasumi said, "Just tell her to meet you down in the cargo bay in a half hour, make up whatever story you can."
"And then?"
"Just leave the rest to me, sweetie." Kasumi then cloaked herself and walked out of the room, and Tali sighed as she left to go talk to Shepard, hoping that this would work.
About forty-five minutes later, Garrus was down in the cargo bay waiting for Kasumi to meet with him. He wasn't sure why she'd wanted to talk about the Normandy's weapon systems down here when they could've easily talked in the main battery, but his curiousity got the better of him, so, here he was. He looked over at the elevator door as he leaned back against some crates to see Shepard walk out of it, and he scolded himself. 'I want to talk to you about the Normandy's weapon systems?! I can't believe I fell for that!'
Shepard didn't notice Garrus at first as she scanned the cargo area for Tali. She had asked her to meet her down there to discuss some engineering issuses with the ship. When she did notice Garrus there, her eyes widened a bit, but she walked over to him. "Did Tali ask you to come down here, too?"
"Tali?" He asked, confused. "No, Kasumi asked me to meet her here."
Shepard turned around to look back at the elevator and saw Kasumi and Tali standing in front of it as Kasumi used her omni-tool to seal the door. "What are you two doing?" She ordered in her "commander" tone as she walked over.
"Making sure neither of you leave this room." Kasumi answered as she finished sealing the door and turned to look at Shepard.
"Excuse me?!" Shepard said in annoyance. "This is my ship, and I can come and go as I damn well please! Now, open the door!"
Kasumi crossed her arms across her chest defiantely. "Not until you and Garrus talk. It's obvious that you two need to sit down and air out your feelings."
Shepard growled. "EDI, open the elevator!"
"No EDI! Don't open the elevator!" Kasumi pleaded.
"I am conflicted..." EDI said over the intercom.
"EDI, you may be an AI, but you are still on my ship! Now, unseal the damn elevator, now!"
"Very well, Shepard." EDI replied and the elevator door unsealed itself.
Shepard walked passed Kasumi and towards the elevator, but before she could get in, Tali stepped in front of her, blocking the way. "Tali, get out of the way."
"No."
"No?! That wasn't a request, Tali, that was an order!" She was really started to get aggrivated now. "Now get out of my damn way!"
"I'm not talking to you as my commander, Shepard, I'm talking to you as my friend." Shepard's eyes seemed to soften a bit at that, so Tali pressed her advantage and continued, "You and Garrus are my best friends. I hate seeing either of you upset, and it's obvious that this whole situation has you both very upset. You two really do need to sit down and have a good, long talk about how you're feeling."
"And Shep," Kasumi added. "This time, please don't just tell Garrus that it was a mistake and walk away without letting him say anything?"
"Is that what happened between them last night?" Tali asked, and Kasumi nodded. "Oh, Shepard..." She sighed as she shook her head in disappointment. "Please, just talk to each other..." She looked at Garrus, "Both of you." She then grabbed Kasumi's arm and dragged her into the elevator, heading up back to the engineering deck and leaving Shepard and Garrus alone. After the elevator started moving, she spoke to EDI. "Hey EDI, could you make sure the elevator door down in the cargo bay stays sealed until they talk to each other? Don't worry about Shepard, and I'll gladly give you some spare hardware upgrades that I still have stored from the flotilla."
"Of course, Tali." EDI said, and Kasumi could swear she almost heard a hint of excitement in EDI's tone.
"I can't believe you pulled that off. I honestly thought the plan was going down the drain because I completely forgot to account for EDI being able to unseal the elevator." Kasumi chuckled. "If I ever do a heist on someone who has an AI installed, I'll have to keep this in mind."
Back down in the cargo bay, Shepard and Garrus were now alone. Shepard hesitated for a moment before turning around to look back at Garrus who had been looking at her, but when their gazes met, he turned his head away. She knew that he was hurting because of her, because of what she'd said to him, and that made her heart ache painfully. She approached him slowly as she began talking, "Garrus... I'm really sorry about what I said last night." She looked at him apologetically. "I let my emotions get the better of me, and... I guess part of me kind of wanted to make you feel bad, because you had hurt me." She bowed her head sadly. "It was stupid and juvenile of me, and...and..." She took a deep breath to calm herself down. "I'm so sorry." She looked back at him as he looked at her. "I should have given you a chance to talk and tell me what you wanted. So... I'm doing that now." She stopped talking as she waited for him to speak up; the ball was in his court now.
"Shepard... Lua." He walked towards her and placed his hands on her shoulders. "Don't be sorry. I deserved what you said to me, especially after I'd hurt you so badly. I want you to know, though, that I would never just use you for sex. You mean so much more to me than just that." He pulled her into him to hold her close, and he smiled when he felt her arms wrap around his waist as she held him back. He then continued as he looked down at her in his arms. "It's just that... I've never felt like this before, not about anyone, and I don't even know what it is that I'm feeling." He said, being completely honest and serious. He leaned down and pressed his forehead to hers as he kept talking while she just listened. "But I want you to understand this: you're not just my commander, or just my best friend..." He whispered gently to her, "You're the person I want to be with. I told you before that there is no one else in this galaxy I respect more than you, and there is no one else I ever want by my side."
"Garrus..." Shepard sighed happily as her red colored eyes filled with tears and one of them slid down her cheek.
Garrus took her head in his hands and wiped the tear away with his thumb as he looked at her worriedly. "What's wrong, Lua?"
"Nothing." She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him into a tight embrace. She didn't even care that his armor was pressing against her uncomfortably, all she cared about was being closer to him. "I want that, too, Garrus. I don't want to be just friends anymore; I want to be in a relationship with you. And even if you can't say it yet, I still will." She pulled back and looked into his eyes, her own showing so much affection it made Garrus's heart jump in happiness. "I love you. I always have." She pressed her lips to his mouth and kissed him.
"Always?" He questioned after she broke away from the kiss, but he kept his mouth close to hers as he had his arms wrapped around her waist securely.
She blushed a bit but smiled and admitted, "Yeah, I've always had a bit of a crush on you, Garrus, ever since we first met in the council chambers on the citadel."
Garrus's mouth fell open in shock at hearing that, but he shook it off quickly and smirked at her. "I guess it wasn't all about the scars, was it?" He joked.
Shepard laughed and gave him a quick peck on the mouth. "No, mostly it's your voice." When he gave her another shocked look, she laughed again. "Why do you think I always went down to talk to you on the original Normandy? I could listen to your voice for hours."
Garrus chuckled. "I'll keep that in mind." He said slowly, making sure to annunciate every word. Oh yes, he was definitely going to use this information to his advantage, and Shepard wasn't sure if she should be excited or worried. Garrus thought back to the very first time they had met in the council chambers; he had introduced himself and told her about his job to try and find evidence against Saren. He had always wondered why it had taken her a moment to respond to him and why she'd looked so dazed before she did. He had just assumed that she was tired and had started dozing off a bit, but now he knew that wasn't the reason. Garrus suddenly felt Shepard's hand on the side of his face, which snapped him back to the present and he looked at her.
"You okay?" She asked, sounding concerned, and he just smiled warmly at her as he gripped her hand in his and nuzzled his face against it.
"Yes, of course. I was just thinking."
"Anything in particular?" She smiled.
"About the very first time I met you." He chuckled. "If someone had told me then that a woman like Commander Shepard was interested in me, I'd have called them a liar."
Shepard smiled and shook her head as she teased him a bit. "What can I say? That voice of yours just has a way of melting a girl's heart."
"Have I melted your heart?" He purred lowly.
Shepard smiled warmly. "Completely." She whispered against his mouth and pressed her lips against it again. The two of them stood there and traded sweet, passionate kisses with one another. Gradually, their kisses turned more hungry as the two of them battled for dominance with their tongues. Shepard's lips left Garrus's mouth and kiss and suck on his neck as she pulled on his fringe, and his talons dug into her hips.
"You're really trying to get me excited, aren't you?" He asked with a low growl under his voice.
"Maybe." Shepard trailed her tongue all the way up his neck and whispered in his ear, "Ever had make up sex?"
"Can't say I have."
"Well, you're about to." Shepard took his hand and led him to the elevator, but she found that it was sealed again. "Um, EDI...?"
"Yes Shepard?" EDI responded.
"The elevator? Can you unseal it?"
"I thought she already had." Garrus said.
"Tali told me to seal it again after she and Kasumi left the cargo bay. I apologize, but Tali is in the process of upgrading part of my hardware, so I cannot unseal it again at the moment."
Shepard realized what Tali had done and looked incredulous at being fooled like that. "Why, that sneaky, little bosh'tet!"
Garrus burst out in laughter. "Did you just call Tali a "bosh'tet"?"
"Don't you see what she did?"
"Yes. She basically did the same thing that Kasumi tried doing, except she left us alone first and made sure EDI couldn't unseal the door again by taking part of her hardware offline so that she could upgrade it." He hummed thoughtfully. "Clever girl."
"Clever girl? You're admiring her for deceiving us?" Shepard asked, and then something clicked. "Wait, did you say alone?" She got an idea. "EDI, is there anyone else down here?"
"No. You and Garrus are the only two on this level of the ship."
"Good enough for me!" She turned back to Garrus with a devilish glint in her eyes, but before he could ask what she was planning, she pulled him forward and kissed him again. "Take your armor off." She ordered.
"Wait, you want to do it here?"
"Well, Tali made it impossible for us to get up to my cabin at the moment, and like hell I'm going to wait!" She kissed his neck again.
"I'm sure you could use your omni-tool to unseal the door, it's not like it's broken."
"Oh, just shut up and kiss me!" Shepard said teasingly and pulled him into another hungry make out session which ended with her pinned against the wall beside the elevator door with her legs wrapped around his waist and his tongue running up her neck.
"Whatever you say, Shepard." He purred into her ear, making sure to use that sexy voice of his to his full advantage.
Meanwhile, upstairs in the engineering deck, Tali was working while she and Kasumi had been watching the vid feed from the cargo bay so that they could make sure their plan worked. Tali smiled as she fit in the new piece of hardware into the system. "I'm glad that they worked things out."
"Me too." Kasumi replied, then a devious smirk appeared on her face. "Hello! What's this?"
That peaked Tali's interests, so she looked back at the vid feed and saw Garrus beginning to take off his armor while Shepard worked on her own clothes. "Keelah..." She breathed. "You better turn that off, now."
"Why? It's just starting to get good!" She glanced at Tali, who was still looking at the vid feed. "Come on, aren't you just a little bit curious?"
"Hm..." Tali hummed as she thought it over. "Oh, what the hell?" She shrugged and they both began watching.
Hey everyone! I know it's been a long time since I posted anything to fanfiction, and it's been even longer since I wrote a Garrus/Shepard fanfic, but ever since the Lengendary Edition of the games came out, I have been completely hooked on writing about these two! My boyfriend even helped me write part of this fanfic!
So, if you guys want me to add in the scene where Garrus and Shepard actually go at it down in the cargo bay, let me know, and I'll post it as a bonus chapter. I'm debating on whether to do it right now, and I would like your guys's opinions.
Anyway, I really hope you all enjoyed reading this, because I enjoyed writing it! Later! MORE GARRUS AND SHEPARD COMING SOON!
