I don't own Mass Effect 2 (if only!) but original characters Kol and Meira are mine. Thank you to Shoker Love for the nice review! 8D

The human sighed and nodded, "I'll get him for you." He disappeared into a side door and I was left standing in awkward silence with the other mercenary, who contented himself with staring me down from under his blue and white helmet.

Eventually the door slammed open and there was a cheerful yell of, "Hey, you!"

Xxx

So to cut a long story short, that dickhead Kol just about screeched in delight when I said I'd get a drink with him.

Here I am now, waiting outside my flat in a cute little black dress (something every woman should have) and some silver kitten heels. I even fussed over my face a bit, dabbing a bit of make-up here and there.

I leant back against my door, drumming my fingers on my arm impatiently. The sooner I could get this over and done with, the better.

Then I could retire to my apartment and watch whatever crap happened to be on the 'television.'

The sound of light footsteps approaching caught my attention and I looked up, watching as 'Kol' (he had finally introduced himself to me) sauntered down the hallway to me.

"Hello, gorgeous!" he called out in greeting and I rolled my eyes. What a smarmy, suave guy he was.

"Howdy Kol. Ready to get this over and done with?"

Kol stopped a few feet away and feigned a hurt look, "Sweets, I thought I meant more than that to you!" I smiled despite myself and pushed myself off the wall. "Where are we going?" I inquired politely, watching him with arched eyebrows.

Despite my own opinions, he looked good. Dressed in traditional casual clothing for the Turians, his outfit was a midnight black trimmed with silver. Up the front of the top were large silver buttons, making it look like he was wearing the Turian version of a tuxedo.

He looked yummy, come to think of it. If it wasn't for the fact that I still haven't forgiven him for making me hit my head, I'd probably jump his big bones right then and there.

I MEAN, ASK HIM FOR A DRINK.

I think I'm losing my mind.

Kol approached me with a swagger and held out his arm, "Come on gorgeous, let's hit the town!"

I raised an eyebrow at him and took his arm, and off we went!

At the bar, a quiet but pretty joint, Kol led me over to a table and pulled out a seat, ushering me onto it.

I sat down heavily, missing the amused glance he shot me. Kol sat down at the seat opposite of me and smiled broadly, his mandibles flaring out.

"What do you want to drink?" he'd ask, tilting his head to one side and watching me with thoughtful eyes.

I considered my options briefly, tapped my lip with my finger and finally settled on a choice.

"I'll have a-"

"Hello Meira. Who's this you have with you?"
