pls hurt me i wanna hear about pre-Akuze squad life

BUT I CANNOT HURT YOU WHEN THE SCENE IS INNOCENT AND FLUFFY D:

It really is. Wanna see? (Draft zero ahead.) I was thinking about how Tabatha Adams was described as soft and lively, and Shepard is... grumpy cat in her early 20s. (Okay, lets be fair, that doesn't change much later on, right?)

Hey, Shepard. You wanna go out with me? She looked at him, irritated about the question for a moment, than shook her head. No. Turning back to her food tray without any further #, xx stood there for a baffled moment, then turned around and went away without another word. Tabatha pursed her lips and kicked Shepards leg under the table. You real? What? xx asks you out and you're just… Not interested? Apparently. But he is handsome! So what? Everyone wants to be asked out by him. So what? No seriously, what's wrong with you? I would kill to be in your shoes right now. You wouldn't. Yeah and you need to learn how irony works. But for real though. How can you brush him off simply with a cold heartened no and that's all? Cause I'm not interested? Yeah, but you're also sympathetic like a see urchin. I just said no - Yeah, exactly my point! Big bold Shepard is too cool to go on a date with the most adored bachelor in this unit. We're marines, tabs. Yeah. And I'm 22. I can enjoy life and be a soldier at the same time. Shepard raised her brows but didn't say anything in return.
