Good morning, 9S.

There was something about the way she spoke like that that always pierced right through any armor he wore; something beautifully innocent and honest that he’d never found in anyone else. 

Maybe why he loved her back so damn much. Maybe it was that cute dress. 

Garrus lifted his other hand to rest over hers on his cheek, then lowered his forehead to gently press against hers. “I love you too, Bee.”

“Now… by ‘me,’ do you mean me romancing you? Maybe some candles, some flowers, a few of those pills, a bottle of wine…? We can always just cut to the fun part, but I think you at least deserve the mood lighting.”

2B nuzzled back against him, enjoying the feel of his plating against her skin. She stepped closer. By the time she drew back enough to look at him, her other arm had come to rest against his waist.

“I rarely turn down flowers. And a little wine would help me swallow the pill.”

She pressed her lips to the underside of his chin. A small smile followed.

“But...flowers and wine could come after. Lighting candles is faster.”

He admittedly hadn’t been prepared for that honest and sad of an answer, but at least his first reaction was a look of serious empathy. There wasn’t a day that went by that Garrus didn’t feel relief that they’d managed to free the androids from YoHRA to begin with.

But there were effects, and now 2B knew what set her apart a bit starker.

His hand tightened in hers. “I’m… sorry. I don’t mean to make you uncomfortable. I guess I just want to know what would make you feel best.”

“I’m used to that being, er… flowers, and a date, and a lot of nuzzling.”

The gentle way his hand tightened around hers drew her gaze back to his face. She reached up to slide the visor off, her eyes meeting his as her expression warmed into something adoring.

“Garrus. You make me feel best.”

She lifted her gloved hand, running her thumb gently along a mandible.

“I don’t need the same things organic people do. I don’t need to eat, or fresh air. But not needing something doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy it. I...love you.”

“We tend to call it ‘romance.’“

That joke fell a bit flatter than intended. At least he could recover it by taking her hand. “Making you feel… valued, or cherished, or at least a little in the mood..?”

2B turned away a little at that, crossing her arms, feeling more uncomfortable. He’d meant it as a joke, but the point wasn’t lost on her.

She leaned against a wall.

“...androids...work differently. We don’t have...biology.”

And she just sounded even more foreign and alien, didn’t she?

“We’re designed to feel the same thing you’d feel with an endorphin rush in multiple ways. So...us getting ‘in the mood’...can be resolved ways other than sex.”

She shifted to her other foot. “...completing missions.”

[spiraloflifeanddeath]

mantis-scope‌:

“…Wait, do I just need to ask-?”

“What else would you need to do?”

It took about five seconds for her to realize the implication.

“...androids...don’t have dating rituals. Or...mating rituals.” A little shift, her trying to pretend to be nonchalant but obviously awkward. “I feel like I’m missing a Turian one.”

[spiraloflifeanddeath]

DID! YOU! FUCK!?

“...uh...no.”

“He hasn’t...asked yet.” Was she stammering?

[spiraloflifeanddeath]

*Cyberverse* he won't say, did you and Garrus pork the beans yet

“That’s some kind of human food dish, right? I haven’t tried it yet. I’m not sure if Garrus can eat it with his culinary restrictions.”

He doesn’t seem to understand. Either that or he’s faking it. So far he looks like he’s surviving pretty damn well, seeing as he’s not dead yet.

“I think you misunderstand how valuable you are to this world. Stop taking such unnecessary risks.”

“...please.”

[spiraloflifeanddeath]

onehundredyearnap‌:

He seems glad nobody asked you 2B.

“Stop competing with Lorelei and Vers to see who can die first.”

[spiraloflifeanddeath]

“I’m starting to think we should just lock them in a room back at camp.”

“2B, what are they talking about?”

“Sexual intercourse.”

doctor who meme | nine scenes [3/9]

↳ “You’ve been in that skin suit too long. You’ve forgotten. There used to be a real Margaret Blaine. You killed her and stripped her and used the skin. You’re pleading for mercy out of a dead woman’s lips.”
