See You Soon
The time had finally come. Shepard was heading back to Earth today so she could turn the Normandy back over to the Alliance and turn herself in. She knew she had to do this but part of her didn't want to. Going back to the Alliance meant her crew had to go. Including Garrus.
Most of her crew had left before she went on the mission to rescue Dr. Kenson. The remaining crew had all decided to get off on the Citadel. They'd be able to find transport from there.
Shepard waited at the airlock to say goodbye to her friends and thank them for all their help. The last person she said goodbye to was Garrus. It was also the hardest person to say goodbye to.
"So" Shepard began "I guess this where we say goodbye".
"Yeah" Garrus said, his voice soft but heavy.
"Hey. Don't worry. We'll see each other again. I can't beat the Reapers without you" Shepard said comfortingly.
"Damn right you can't" Garrus agreed.
Before he left, they pressed foreheads gently. Once again, Shepard was overcome with a feeling; she never wanted to leave this moment. But she had to.
When they released from their embrace, Garrus gave her a slight nod. Then he entered the airlock and disappeared into the tunnel that leads to the Citadel.
"See you soon" Shepard whispered to herself.
