Comrades
If you had asked him 12 months ago if he would be working for a Human Spectre, Garrus would have told you no.
If you had asked him 10 months ago if he would be working side by side with a Krogan, Garrus would have told you no.
8 months ago he would have told you he'd never cover a Krogan in a tactical retreat.
6 months ago he'd never consider volunteering for a mission that was strictly familial business for a Krogan.
4 months ago he'd never expect a Krogan's help in a backing him up after he had killed Dr. Heart. Shepard had not been happy about that at all. Tali simply chose not to talk that particular episode of his life.
If you asked him 2 months ago if he'd ever ask a Krogan for relationship advice, he'd ask you what you were smoking.
A month ago he'd tell you that you were crazy for even suggesting he'd almost die while standing shoulder to shoulder with a Krogan. That's exactly what happened during the Citadel siege though.
A week ago he'd never think he'd be where he was now. Sitting in the back of Chora's Den trying to use the loud music and drinks to drown out his sorrow. Wrex sat on the stool next to him, silently keeping pace with Garrus's drinking.
Only once did Garrus break the silence between them. "Thanks, Wrex." He didn't elaborate further by more words weren't needed.
Wrex grunted. "What else are comrades for?"
A/N: I decided to take a small detour as you can all see. We'll get back to the main couple soon enough though. And more length. I promise. Thanks to the people who have been reviewing.
