She almost stopped there. She was making an effort to keep the conversation light tonight, because nobody wants to deal with serious real-life stuff the first time they get stoned. However, there was this nagging voice in her head reminding her that she could be dead again by this time next year. Sooner, even. The prospect of spending the rest of her short life alone because she was scared of something as stupid as a little awkwardness with her best friend - Oh, fuck it. If not now, when? Shepard steeled herself and took the leap, damn the consequences.
Shepard nudged Garrus to make sure she had his full attention. "Hey. The next time you're climbing the walls with your teeth and you're tempted to go crank one out by yourself, why don't you just come up here and see me instead? I'd be glad to lend you a hand." She leaned into his lap and got close, her whisper tickling his ear plates. "Or any of my other parts you'd like to try out. Don't think I haven't noticed you looking."
And just like that the offer was on the table, Shepard's heart frantically pounding in a way that was usually reserved for close combat situations. The two of them had made a few innuendo-laden jokes to each other over the years, but this was different. She might as well have told him "come fuck my brains out next time you get bored".
For a terrifying moment, Garrus didn't say a word. He gave her a long sideways look, full of questioning. "I thought-- You really--?" He paused for a bit to gain his composure, finding a sly smile along the way. "Well, I'd be lying if I told you I haven't been thinking about it, just-- Yeah. Definitely. That is, assuming it won't kill the both of us."
"We'll be fine. We can figure it out when we're a little more sober." Shepard gave his leg an extra-friendly squeeze before forcing herself to stop there. She was aching to just straddle him here and now - but if a person is feeling nervous about having a sexual relationship with a subordinate (and she was), getting said subordinate high for the first time THEN jumping on him would be a bad fucking call if she ever heard one. Still, she was having a hard time containing her excitement. She had been so afraid he would say no, or laugh at her, or get disgusted and tell her he wasn't into humans... but aside from his initial surprise, Garrus didn't seem fazed much at all. "Definitely". His words. The urge to raise her arms and jump around the room in victory was very real.
She took the first rip off the freshly packed bowl, trying to think of something more neutral for them to talk about.
