Imagine your otp, waking up beside each other, having A have their arm over B, kissing one another good morning.
Kaidan always made it a point to wake up first, Shepard curled in his arms with her back firmly against his chest. He loved how it felt, to have her pressed so closely to him, their fingers laced together even in sleep. She hadn't seemed to dream that night, though maybe they just had been rare good ones. It meant she was still solidly against him, still beautifully asleep, her lips slightly parted and her dark red hair loose between her shoulders and his chest. He closed his eyes, resting his forehead on the top of her head and letting the scent of her shampoo, still so unchanged after three years, fill his senses. He'd dreamed about that repeatedly over the years, the soft smell of vanilla and smallest hint of jasmine haunting him.
She moved slightly as he pressed a kiss just under her ear, trailing his fingers along the shirt she was wearing. His shirt, actually — he'd found it stolen not four days after they'd reconciled and she'd invited him back into her bed. A small, contented yawn parted her lips, and she blinked drearily before glancing up at the man leaning over her.
"Hey, Kaidan," she said softly, voice still heavy with the threat of sleep.
"Hey, Shepard," he echoed, leaning down to kiss the corner of her mouth. "I love you."
A small smile crossed Shepard's face as she turned in his arms, her hand rubbing his arm. "What'd you do this time, Major?" she replied with mock sternness.
"Not sure," he replied. "But I have been the victim of several robberies recently."
Shepard laughed when he trailed his fingers up her side, playing over her hip and tugging his shirt up a little over her taut stomach. "Such as this shirt."
"You weren't using it," she defended. "Shouldn't have left it laying out."
He hummed, leaning down to seize her lips in a surprisingly possessive kiss. "Maybe I should just take it back, then."
"Maybe you should." That devious glint was back in her eyes, and Kaidan grinned wider as he pressed her back into the bed, covering her body with his own. "We've got just enough time before someone comes looking for you to try."
