Worry

Here’s my awkward Shep and Kaidan finally following their hearts before they take on Saren in Mass Effect 1. I hope you enjoy as this is a piece that turned out much better than I thought!

I’m using one of my favorite commissioned pieces by @louminx for the cover of this work. I love how she captured Io’s vulnerable side.

Gone, Never Far

“Where’d you go?”

Tiny, delicate fingers danced over her cheek, pushing a knot of hair behind her ear.  

Warm breath tickled against her shoulder blades.

She didn’t want to open her eyes. “I was away,” the words were whispered, more scared than she thought they should sound. “You left for awhile.” The dim glow from the personal terminal on her desk lit the room. There were long shadows. A quiet hum. Eyes glittered in the light. Dark hair framed a pale face. The oval broken by a single dark stripe. “Dreams... Distance... But I was here. I’m always here, ok?”  

Her hand always fit so perfectly in the small of Kasumi’s back. Stars shot past the open ceiling above them. Kaidan’s fingers gripped her hips when she moved.

“I’m never leaving. Never.”

“Good.”
