Promise
The experience Shepard had gone through was unlike anything she had experienced before. Her intimate night with Garrus had been successful and quite satisfying. She'd go again if she could but the Normandy would be at the Omega 4 relay in less than 30 minutes. Not enough time by Shepard and Garrus' standards.
She awoke in bed, curled into his side. He was already awake, watching her sleep. She glanced up at him and smiled before leaning up to kiss his cheek.
"I still can't believe we did that" Garrus said softly.
"I know. But you've gotta admit, it was fun I mean, I would go again if we had the time" Shepard said in a soft voice.
"I would too" Garrus agreed.
That earned him a playful laugh from Shepard but then her smile faded and worry filled her eyes. He knew exactly what she was thinking.
"You're going to win this thing" Garrus encouraged.
"We're going to win" Shepard corrected.
"You know it" Garrus replied.
"Can you promise me to come back?" Shepard asked.
"Only if you'll do the same"
"Deal" Shepard agreed.
"Deal" Garrus said as well before pulling her in for one last embrace.
