Alliance High: Part Five.

Osir was surprised at the number of people were in the pool yard. Even more so when he met them all. There was Grunt's older brothers Wrex and Wreav, Wrex's girlfriend Eve. Jack was there, he was glad that he was able to let her know that he wasn't bothered with what happened at Apollos. She was there with her girlfriend, Miranda. There was Jacob and his girlfriend Brynn, Kolyat, Kasumi and her boyfriend Keiji. Of course, Rev was there with Kaidan. There was Joker with EDI, who he hoped would be alright with being at a pool being a synthetic and all.

Yet, while they were all out having fun eating and enjoying his pool, Osir was still inside. "Osir? You okay, buddy?" Rev called knocking on the bathroom door. "I uh um y-yeah. Maybe. No. Too many people." He was starting to sound like Mr. Solus. "Well, they're all our friends and you already met them. Come on, besides you have that big lug of a boyfriend there on the barbeque pit." Osir was silent in the bathroom before he finally opened the door, a towel around his waist. "Yeah. Yeah okay lets do this."

"Who wants a hot dog?" James called out, seeing Jack already there with a plate ready. "Yeah, no surprise." Jack eyed him, "Put the damn wiener on my plate, before I rip yours off." Knowing that she probably would, he did as she asked and tended to the burgers.

"Who-Who...Who...wow." The tongs fell from his hand as soon as he saw his boyfriend. He had no idea he had a body like THAT, slim with a six pack. Jacob tapped his shoulder, "Yo, Vega. Need some help or you just gonna let them burn?" James hearing this suddenly realized he was letting the meat burn and picked up the tongs and wiped them down. Passing them to Jacob, he went off to see Osir. Osir saw James and thought he would faint from blood loss. This giant Greek god in a pair of blue speedos. While he was in a simple pair of black swimming trunks. "What?" Osir asked laughing giving James a kiss. "You. Look. Fucking. Hot." James said slowly. "Well, you're not one to talk, Adonis." James smirked flexing, hearing someone telling them to get a room.

"We will later, how does that sound?" James asked. "Sounds dandy, now make me a burger." Osir answered giving James' round ass a slap.

Alliance High: Part Four.

Osir slowly woke to the feeling of pumped arms around his waist seeing James holding him. As much as he wanted to let the man sleep in, he could fight the temptation of kissing him. A kiss on the lips, slow and soft, turned heated as he woke up. Thank god today was Saturday. Before they went any further, Osir stopped him. "What? What is it?" James asked confused. "What does this make us?" James was still confused. "I think its pretty clear what this makes us. But... mmman do I got to do it the formal way?" James sighed looking at Osir. "Osir Shepard, will you... Be my boyfriend?" James felt and sounded stupid, one night of making out and he wanted to be in a relationship. He stopped worrying when he heard him say, "Yes. Yes I will! Are you kidding me?" James suddenly pounced on Osir kissing him over his neck.

Then Osir's phone rang, which made both men groan in disappointment. Seeing the black device on the stand, he quickly answered it before seeing who it was. "Hello?" He asked, James curling his arms around Osir. "Hey its Rev, you make it home okay last night?' He forgot to let Rev know he got home, "YYes, I did. I'm still at ho Oooome." There was a silence on the other end before Rev asked his cousin, "James there?" Oh he could just see the brunette's smirk. "Wwwhy why wou-would youuu ask that?" James made it over uncomfortable talking on the phone with him sucking and licking his neck. "Caan I ca-call you back?" Osir asked, feeling his neck being bitten gently. "Yeah, why don't you do that?" He hung up on Rev who was laughing.

"So much for the subtle approach." James commented, chuckling. "Well, they were going to find out anyway. I just hope the rest of the school..." Osir suddenly stopped, he didn't even think about what the school body would think of their relationship. "Relax. This community is actually LGBT friendly. A lot of students at school are gay. Hell, even a couple of people in my football team have a boyfriend." Osir was surprised, but relieved at the same time. "What do you want to do today?" Osir asked, looking up at James. Thinking about it for a minute, he had an idea. "Why not.... A.... Pool party?"

The idea was a good one. Why not? After all, it would be a good chance to get to know everybody better."Yeah." James was surprised, "Yeah?" He asked, "Yeah." Osir repeated. "I call Rev, I think he knows what to do with parties and all." James hopped up, "I'll go run and get some food. Won't take long." Osir reached for his wallet, but was stopped when James put his hand over it. "Nuh-uh. My idea I'm paying." Osir's red eyes rolled with a "Fine."

Alliance High: Part Three.

James took a moment of silence to look at the inside of the house. It was... Nice? It wasn't anything he would expect a penthouse to look like. There was a couch, a couple chairs with a plasma screen TV on the wall. He noticed the floor was tiled, warm. That's all there was in the living room. No fancy speaker systems, no display cases. Simple. The kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms were the same. Then there was the pool in the back. Oh man, the pool. James stood in front of one of the massive windows overlooking the pool. It was amazing.

"Soda?" Osir asked coming up to him, a coke in each hand. "Sure, thanks." The tattooed teen gladly took one of the cans and opened it, enjoying the view. "This place is huge. I mean fucking HUGE. But uh, kind of..."

"Empty? Simple? Yeah, I know. This used to be my grandparents' house." Osir said, James taking another sip of his drink. "Was your mom wealthy? Sorry." James realized he asked a question that lowered his chances of winning him over. But Osir just smiled, "Its okay. My grandparents were. The were descendants of a long line of established and successful people. They wanted it to keep going and had planned for an arranges marriage, but."

"She didn't?" Osir nodded having more of his drink. "She fell in love with a bartender, from Terra Nova I think, Mom never liked the life of champagne wishes and caviar dreams. So imagine her parents faces when they got the news." James mouth made an 'oh' and hissed, "They must have been downright pissed." Osir shrugged, "Grandpa was, but Grandma said she should be with whoever made her happy. When they died, they left this house for her in their will. And then when she died, well... She did the same for me."

"What about your dad?" James asked, curious. "I don't know, he walked out on my mother about a month before I was born. She never told me about him, and I never really asked." An award silence followed, the two just stood there looking out until Osir spoke up. "Mom loved to swim. She said it made her feel like the world's troubles just washed off her body whenever she went swimming. You want to see her?" The question confused James. See her? "Oh, sure."

The two went upstairs into a grand bedroom, apparently Osir's. There was a photo on his bedstand and picked it up to show him. "Wow. She's really gorgeous." The woman in the photo had long curly black hair and red ruby eyes. Soft lips and a face only an angel could wear. She had tribal looking tattoos downs her left arm. "What was her name?" James asked seeing Osir smile, "Alicia." He answered. James took a moment to look at the photo one more time before handing it back to the raven haired teen. "Now I know where you get your good looks from."

"With all this flirting, surely you have a girlfriend?" Osir finally asked, getting it off of his chest. "No, I don't, and I don't plan on ever having one." James said, reassuringly. "There was this guy back at my old school... He would throw a couple lines at me, telling me how good looking I am or I'm cute when he sees me. I thought maybe he wanted to have something with me. So one day I went up to him and asked."

"What happened?" James' expression softened. He sat down on the bed with Osir. "I went up to him and asked him, he turned around with who was apparently his girlfriend and said "Hey baby, this is that faggot I told you about." Everyone bawled laughing." James saw the boy clench his fists. "I didn't know that. But, I wouldn't do that. Ever. I like you." James' mouth quickly shut when the words slipped out. Osir looked at him, eyes wide. "What?" James had no idea what to say, so he didn't think before he acted. He grabbed the other teen's waist and pulled him into a kiss. Osir thought he was going to melt as he encouraged the kiss.

Tonight was a good night.

Alliance High: Part Two.

Students gathered their belongings as the last bell of the day rang. Stepping out of his last period of the day, Osir saw Rev and Kaidan walk up to him. "So, what did you think?" Rev asked. "Mr. Solus, was quite the..... Uh.... Character." In all honesty, the salarian's speech patterns were so odd and he went by so fast he was fortunate he was able to get all of his notes down. "When does the man find the time to breathe?" Osir asked, the three laughing. "Oh, hey. Osir, we're going to meet up with the others at Apollo's. You coming?" Kaidan asked, the resturaunt was known for having the world's greatest burgers. "Yeah, you bet. When are we going to head over?" Kaidan looked down at his watch, reading 4:05. "James is gonna pick us up." The brunette could have sworn he saw the faintest of the color pink on Osir's face.

A black truck pulled up into the parking lot of the school with the horn blowing a couple times, Rev muttering "showoff." The passenger door opened, with the driver hollering "New guy gets shotgun!" Osir raised an eyebrow getting in, "I have a name you know." James chuckled and nodded seeing the other two boys climb into the back. "Only because he wants you there." Kaidan stated, being shushed by his boyfriend. "So, the others already there?" Rev asked, pulling out his iPhone. "Yep, already there." The muscular one answered.

Pulling up to the small blue joint, the Apollo's sign standing high, James parked into his usual spot and hopped out. Osir saw Grunt, the only one of the three he met today. "You're late, fuckface!" James rolled his eyes, flipping off the girl. She has tattoos, way WAY more than James. "Ahh, you must be Shep's cousin? Osir, right?" She asked, getting up from the booth. "Nice to meet you, uh.."

"Jack." The bald headed girl said, "Call her anything else and she'll gut you like a fish." The turian behind her said, in a humorous yet mocking manner, "I'm Garrus Vakarian, nice to meet you Osir." Garrus said, shaking hands with Osir. "I'll order. I already know what you guys want, what do you want me to get for you Osir?" James said, pulling out his wallet.

"Oh, no I'll pay!" Osir offered, but James already had out the money with a look saying 'I got this' Osir gave in. "Number 3.. And a coke." James nodded and gave a wink before heading up to the counter. "Looks like muscles' already making moves on you." Jack said. Was he? Osir never really was any good with picking up signals. "So, what do you think of the dump we call Vancouver?" She asked. Osir shrugged, "I have no problem with it." He saw James come back to the table with a tray with their orders, hands reaching for their orders but stopped when James yelled over them, "Hey Hey Hey! Let Osir get his." Which he did, losing no time drinking his soda.

They weren't kidding when they said that they had the world's best burgers. It definitely hit the spot. "You have someone to pick you up? I'll drop you off." James asked. "Oh, thanks. That be great. Nah, I live alone." Jack's last fry fell out of her mouth, "Shit! Lucky!" There was an uneasy silence following that, "I'm gonna take you up on that offer." Osir said, getting up to empty his tray. "Sweet! I mean, no prob." Following suit, the remaining three just sat at the table. The boys glaring at Jack. "Smooth, real fucking smooth." Kaidan said.
"What? What's your damage?" Jack asked. After hearing what happened from Rev, a string of curses fell from her mouth.

The drive home was quiet, peaceful even. James worried if what Jack said bothered the other teen. "Hey. Sorry about Jack. She doesn't know when to shut the fuck up sometimes." Osir smiled, "Nah, I'm not bothered by it. I'm was just ready to head home." James looked at the place where Osir directed him to. Looking in disbelief. "Whoa Woah!!" James said, getting out. Osir lives in a fucking penthouse? "Want to come in?" Osir invited, opening the door. Smiling, James accepted this offer without a second thought.

Alliance High: Part One.

(High School AU fan fiction for starfleetspectre. Pairings are Mshenko and Mshega. With her OC Shepard, Rev and my OC Shepard Osir.)

Osir stepped off the bus and immediately heard someone ask, "Osir!? Is that you, man!?" The raven haired teen smiled as he saw his brunette cousin, Rev. "Revamp! Its good to see you again!" Osir said, bringing him in for a hug. "Its just Rev. Anyway, what do you think of the place?" Osir smiled, the school was nice. A lot nicer than his last school that's for sure. The two boys made their way into the hallways catching up. "How are you holding up?" Rev asked.

"I'm fine. I know she's in a better place now." He answered with a short smile. Alicia, Osir's mother, died two months ago from a drive by shooting. He and his mother were very close, especially since there was no father at home. The two decided not to touch the subject again. "So, what do you make of Vancouver? Not exactly like Brooklyn, huh?" Osir laughed, not anything like New York but it was nice.

Making their way to the cafeteria, they approached a table where only two people were at. One of them looked up, "Hey Rev." The black haired boy said giving the brunette a kiss. He saw Osir and a smile came across his face, "You must be Osir. I'm Kaidan, its nice to finally meet you." Kaidan said. "Hey, same here." Osir returned the favor. The other occupant at the table, a krogan, was busy devouring the last of the chips in the bag and throwing it into the trash can. "This is Grunt." Rev said, motioning to the said krogan who stood up and walked up to Osir. He stood over him, growling almost, and looking into his red eyes.

Osir stared right back into his, not blinking. "Your cousin's creepy, Rev." Grunt said, backing up making them laugh. "Hey, sorry! Football ran on late for morning practice." A voice said coming up behind them. Turning around, a large muscled student with tattoos fist bumped Rev, and looked to his black haired relative. "Oh, you're Osir, right? Loco's told us a lot about you. I'm James, James Vega." James greeted, extending a strong arm out to the red eyed teen who gladly took it. "Nice to meet you too."

"So, who do you have first period?" Rev asked, pointing to the schedule sheet in Osir's hands. Looking at the list, he read out loud, "Ms. T'soni. History 2." James smiled, "Same here, I'll show you the way." The larger teen said, who looked at Osir nodding. 'Dios mio, he's cute. I hope he doesn't have a girlfriend.' The quarterback and wrestling captain thought to himself. "Let me know how it goes!" Rev called out as the two boys left. "I will!" Osir called back.

"So, where did you move from?" James asked as they made their way to the room. "New York." James' eyes widened, "I grew up there. Which part?" He asked, surprised. "Brooklyn, Bed Stuy." James was again surprised, "How did we miss each other, I'm from there too." They continued to talk as they sat next to each other in class. Osir listened as James told him how he moved here with his uncle when his father died from lung cancer.

The sound of the school bell rang throughout the campus, hallways emptied and doors closed shut. Walking in was an asari, apparently the teacher. "We have a new student who starts school here today. Everyone give a warm welcome for Osir Shepard." The instructor announced and immediately the eyes of his fellow classmates were on him. "Uh, hi." Was all Osir could manage to say as he pulled out his notebook and textbook from his backpack. This was going to be a long day.
