Artpop Challenge: Venus.

Shepard walked through the VIP entry to Purgatory, the sound of blaring music only clarifying as he arrived into the core of the area. With the council being picky in helping the alliance, Osir needed a drink. He remembered Vega's suggestion from back on the Embassies, meeting him for a drink. He received glances from people that said 'oh god its really him!' that prove that people forget so easily that he's still human.

"Hey, Commander!" A voice called out. Osir turned around to see James at the bar, beer in hand. He nodded to the man seeing him, "James, how's the eye doing?" He asked the larger man. Their 'dance' left Vega with a nasty black eye, so no more shuttle collisions for him. "Doing good. Saw the interview with Kalisah." Shepard rolled his eyes as he was handed a beer from the bartender, "She needs to learn to grow the fuck up." He stated taking some of his drink.

James nodded. For a while, it was awkward silence until the muscled man finally said, "Wanna dance? For real this time?" Osir groaned, "I can't dance." James refrained from laughing his ass off. The man can save the galaxy but can't dance? "Well, I do. And I need me a partner." Shepard heard this and looked around the room, "There are plenty of lovely ladies in here." Shepard answered finishing his beer. James just answered with, "Don't want em."

"Come on, I'll teach you. You're only what, 41?" Osir punched him in the arm playfully, "29, way off." James chuckled replying, "Just a few years off." The two finally made it to the dance floor, following to a new song. "You're....not uh.... That bad....." James was at a loss for words seeing the other man trying to rhythmically entertain himself. "Yeah, in fact I'm worse." James thought to himself for a minute then stated, "You just need some passion, Loco!" The black haired man was surprised to hear those words come out of that mouth. "Passion?" He asked, seeing the man draw him in.

"Yeah.. Passion, like this." Slowly James and Osir's faces came together with a kiss, which quickly became deepened as Osir's hips rocked to the beat emitting to the bass. "I see. Passion, I can work with this." Osir said between kisses, chuckling.

When you touch me I die
Just a little inside
I wonder if this could be love
This could be love
Because you're out of this world
Galaxy, space and time
I wonder if this could be love
This could be love
