Selena started on her way down the stairs into the docking bay. She loved the quiet down here. James wasn't here at the time and neither was Cortez, she was alone. She pulled a small device out of her pocket,setting it down, she pushed a few buttons and music started playing. She stood in the middle of the docking bay,shaking her hands and stomping her feet,feeling the beat go through her.
She started singing to the music as she went. "1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, drink. 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, drink. Throw 'em back 'til I lose count." She sang slowly with the music, a rasp behind her soft singing voice, but she then gradually started moving to the beat.
One foot in front of the other, she began dancing. Twirls, turns, head flips and all, she felt free. Her long hair flowed behind her like a waterfall as she moved, wanting nothing more than to stay here and dance forever. She started to feel eyes on her and looked over at the door to see Garrus watching her. She gasped and turned the music off. "How long have you been here?" She asked, frantic.
"The whole time. You sing and dance very well by the way." She sat down on a crate and buried her head in her hands. "I promised myself when I started dancing that I would never let anyone see me."
Garrus sat down next to her. "Why is it a problem if someone sees you?"
She looked up at him. "I started when I was on the streets. I never thought I'd be any good and still don't think I'm really that good but I love it. But I promised myself I wouldn't show that side to anyone. I'm a soldier,I can't look weak." She dropped her head into her hands again.
Garrus wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her to him. "You don't have to worry about that. Don't worry about what anyone else thinks, worry about what you love, what you do, and how much fun you're having."
Selena lifted her head and peered up at Garrus. "Let me guess, personal experience?" He turned his head away. she could tell that if Turian' could blush,he would be doing so right now. he simply nodded his head 'yes' and all she could do was laugh. "I love you Garrus."
"Love you too Lena." He said, kissing her forehead the only way he knew how.
