❛ it was a nightmare, that’s all. ❜
❝ WE DON’T HAVE TO DISCUSS IT . ❞ garrus lowers onto the long leather couch where cullen sits , both giving the human space and establishing 𝚠𝚊𝚛𝚖𝚝𝚑 , connection , presence . the observation window is open — — the stars provide a constant , twinkling light . ❝ i just want you to know i’m here . if you do feel like . . . ❞ the turian pauses , head canting , eyes trained on his companion to seek any emotional response , ❝ — — i don’t know , VENTING about it , i’m here . you know where i’m usually at . ❞ very briefly , garrus reaches across the small space between them and rests a supportive hand on his shoulder . ❝ anything you need from me , you name it . ❞ cullen deserves this . he deserves this show of camaraderie , of friendship ( or something more , the vague 𝚞𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚌𝚞𝚛𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚝 that hastens between them ) . garrus will do anything .
