I’m
still me. I doubt I’d have been able to turn against Cerberus otherwise.
I don’t remember anything. Maybe they really just fixed me,
or…maybe…I’m just a high-tech VI that thinks it’s Commander Shepard. But
I don’t know. I…
Shepard: Can we ever be ready for a battle like this? Everything we’ve ever known…
It’s all hanging by a thread, Garrus.
Garrus: Yeah, but the truth is, when hasn’t it? Every fight we’ve ever seen could’ve been our last. Every bullet we’ve ever dodged could’ve been the one.
And this time around, they’re just a little bigger.
Garrus: *internally* Wow that was…..terrible. They probably hate me now, that was AWFUL. I’m so bad at this why do I ruin EVERYTHING.
Shepard: I don’t know what I’d do without you 🙂
Garrus:*internally* ….NAILED IT. Once again, I am the best. Was there ever any doubt??
okay so garrus is awkward af when the relationship first starts, and again when he isn’t sure if it’s still a thing after 6 months apart. he stumbles over his words, he is unsure of himself.
but let’s not forget that this is the same man who sings his own praises after every kill shot. who has that swagger when he is in his element. who can toss banter with ease.
in me3 once the relationship is reestablished he is smooth as fuck.
Okay but imagine Garrus always checking on Shepard to make sure she’s feeling up for the next mission. He’s programmed his visor to monitor her vitals at all time, so he always knows when she’s under a lot of stress. I love to imagine him taking a few minutes to talk to her before landing. Imagine him taking her hands in his and holding them tightly as he tells her it’s gonna be okay.
“Stay close. I’ll keep you safe.”
Hearing him say cheesy lines like that always seems to making her feel better. It’s true though. Garrus is the only one she’ll let see her vulnerable or scared.
Knowing he’s always watching over her makes Shepard feel confident and safe.
There are benefits of having an overprotective boyfriend.
