The Magic Of Alcohol.

(fanfiction for starfleetspectre. Pairing is of human wrex and human grunt.)

Wrex slowly woke from his sleep, with it the feeling of a tsunami hangover. 'Shepard throws one hell of a party.' the red tipped man thought, rubbing his eyes. He felt a heavy weight lay on top of him, that weight was none other than Grunt.

Wrex suddenly remembered the man pouring the clan leader shots, a mischievous grin the entire time. "Don't you have anything better to do? Not that I mind the drinks." Wrex said after putting the shot glass down and burping. "Go let one of those screamin' girls in. Get laid." Grunt wore a suspicious grin, "That's what I'm goin for with you."

Grunt took his turn of a shot, slamming it done. "Ya ain't half bad good looking yourself, kiddo." Wrex said, smirking.

Everything else afterwards was lost to him, "Well I'll be goddamned." The red tipped man muttered with a smile, running a hand through Grunt's brown hair.

Rev couldn't sleep after their recent mission. He watched Kaidan, who was sound asleep. He's been thinking. Is what they have just something to comfort each other, tell them they are there for them at the end of the day. Shepard brushed a hand on the biotic's cheek, the man had soft skin despite all of the war going on.

Kaidan's eyes slowly opened "Mmmm?" He yawned. "Hey, sorry I didn't mean to wake you up." Rev said with a smile. Kaidan smiled saying, "You don't have it in you to wake me before missions though." Kaidan chuckled a little and saw that look of worry in the other man's eyes. "What's up?" Rev took a moment to ask, "What'll happen to us after this?"

Kaidan was a little taken back. He loved the man, but didn't really have the time to sit down and discuss their plans for the future together. "Well.." Kaidan began pulling in the brown haired man to him. "I have some property back home. Great natural feel, view of the river. Though, I imagine that will need some improvement when this is all over." Rev smiled hearing the man.

"We'll most likely get a dog, and have a huge kitchen with bacon, and steak... Every room will be huge, actually. We'll need ground rules for when Grunt or Wrex comes to visit. Which I imagine will be many. And we're going to live the fuck happily ever after. I don't plan on doing otherwise." Kaidan finished with a full smile.

Shepard liked this plan.

Sometimes a story has no end
Sometimes I think we can just be friends
"Cause I'm a wandering man" he said to me
And what about our future plans?
Does this thing we have even make sense?
When I got the whole world in front of me

Artpop Challenge: Dope.

"Loco?"

James wandered through the dark room of the commander's cabin, the only sources of light were the phantom blue of the fish tank and the blinking colors of the monitors. It had been three hours since they had left Thessia, or what was left of it. The whole crew had taken it hard, but nothing compared to Liara.

James didn't hear any response but found the commander on the floor beside the bed, a data pad in his hand. "What the hell was I thinking saying all of that?" Osir said. James kneeled down slowly and then sat down next to him. "I practically said that once I got the artifact that the reapers would be gone." James pulled the black haired man to him, "Its fuckin' Cerberus fault. The pendejo Kai Leng. You did everything you could've."

Shepard sighed leaning his head against the man's chest. "It doesn't matter now, in the asari's eyes, I'm just someone who gave them something false to have faith in. What do I do then when it fails? I haul ass."

James heard of how Liara had went on a rampage, venting her anger on Javik. "Just give em' time, babe." James said folding his arms around Osir's waist. They stayed like that for hours, in the dark.

Cork's off, it's on
The party's just begun
I promise this drink is my last one
I know I fucked up again
Cause I lost my only friend
God forgive my sins
