Shepard’s eyes opened slowly and she turned to her left. She was having trouble staying asleep, tossing and turning all night. Her back ached and her shoulders were sore from the last few missions.
She looked at the sleeping drell across from her and smiled, her heart filled with joy just by seeing him there next to her. She tried to shut her eyes again, but the pain in her back caused her to shift slightly again.
Shepard saw Thane’s eyes open and his sleepy gaze quickly filled with concern.
“Siha,” He began, his voice low and scratchy. “Are you all right?”
She smiled at him and placed her hand on his cheek, rubbing it softly with her thumb.
“Can’t sleep. I’m sorry I woke you.”
“There’s no need to be sorry. Is there anything I can do for you?”
She felt guilty for waking him, but was grateful she could talk to him since she couldn’t seem to stay asleep.
She wiggled towards him and wrapped her arm around his waist, nuzzling her head just underneath his chin. She exhaled happily as the smell of his skin surrounded her. She moved her fingers gently along his bare chest, marveling in how warm he felt up against her. He smiled and kissed the top of her head, pulling the blanket they were sharing closer to her.
“I had a dream about you.” Shepard said softly, then paused for a moment. “Do drell have dreams?”
I GOT MY SCANNER WORKING!! YEEEHAAAAAA!! I’m so happy right now 😎 We celbrate this awesome moment, with a picture from Thane and Shepard! For the pose i needed a little help and I had so many different body references.. WELP I love them both so much…
I told you once that when a memory feels as real as life, it’s as valid as life. But the memory of you will never be enough. It has been a good fight – now go and finish it.
[because Thane totally survived, and was there to see Shepard off before the beam run]
