One Line Prompt: "I was thinking about us." and/or "I want to get to know you better." (I did 'and')
"So, I was thinking about us."
Kiliane looked up and smirked at the man sitting in the chair next to her hospital bed.
"You know, James, you should probably elaborate a bit. That statement was a little vague and even a bit terrifying."
He winked at her. "Sorry, Lola. I just meant that I was thinking about what we could do with the free time we're going to have once you get sprung from this place."
"Free time? I know I'm going to be off on medical leave for a while, but what's your excuse, soldier?"
James laughed before he answered, "Well, I had a talk with Hackett earlier, and he said he thinks it'll still be a couple of months before they'll restart the N courses. He also mentioned that he knew someone who was going to have more time on her hands than she would know what to do with and might need a little distraction."
"Did he now? So he's giving you the time off to babysit me? That seems like a blatant abuse of power."
He shrugged. "He figures we've all earned it. And he's right."
Shepard considered for a second before saying, "Okay. So, we'll have some free time. What did you have in mind?"
"I was thinking that I want to get to know you better."
She raised her brow at him. "Get to know me? Um, isn't it a little late for that?"
"No, I'm serious." He grabbed her hand. "I mean, I want to really get to know you. Get to know who Kiliane is when she's not surrounded by all the craziness that is Commander Shepard. I just want the chance to sit and do absolutely nothing with you."
"Hmm." She leaned towards him and placed a soft kiss on his lips. "I rather like the sound of that. Count me in."
