Mass Effect: Safety
Another oneshot, based on the romance from my first every playthrough, anyway, enjoy.

Jack exhaled softly as she lay there, it was incredible that such a soft bed existed on any ship, but then again, this was the remade Normandy after all, she probably shouldn't be surprised. What was even more surprising was that she wasn't in her bed down in the depths of the ship's engineering floor, rather she was in the Captain's Cabin, in Shepard's bed. The bald, heavily tattooed Biotic former convict was still surprised that she was even here. But despite everything in her past, all the crimes, the mistreatment, the danger, she found no judgement from Shepard and, even more surprisingly, the man was even interested in her and not just in a sexual kind of way. In fact, he made it clear that he actually cared about her and that left Jack confused and unsure at first. Finally she had to admit to herself that she was tired of running, tired of being so on edge all the time. So it was, before they left on what was to be a Suicide Mission against the Collectors, Jack had gone to talk to Shepard and finally, she couldn't just hold it back anymore.
That was how Jack found herself in the Commander's bed, in his arms, her own wrapped around him too. It was strange, but for the first time in her life, she felt something. Peace, contentment safety. Definitely safety, something she was sure she'd never felt before but heard spoken about. Jack knew the future was uncertain, but one thing she was certain about, she finally felt safe and now she was dedicated to surviving this mission, to making sure Shepard survived too, she didn't want to lose this feeling. It was the first time Jack had felt safe and happy in her life and she found that she didn't want to lose it. As such she made up her mind, she's would like to try and do this again, to feel safe again.
End of oneshot, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
