It has been one week since the crew of the Normandy destroyed the
Collector base. One week since Tali revealed her face to Shepard. One
week since she had her first kiss, her first intimate experience. One
week since she had felt Shepard's skin on hers.Tali and Shepard
had made love again this night, it was their second time. Tali's illness
from their first time together was mostly gone; she had been feeling
much better. This time they were able to take some extra precautions as
well. In addition to Tali's antibiotics and herbal supplements, Shepard
had taken a portable decontamination unit from the medical bay, and used
it to sterilize his room. He had also showered and washed himself with
antibacterial soap. While not quite as sterile and safe as her suit, the
captain's cabin was turned into a relatively safe environment for a
Quarian to be out of her suit in. It had an airtight door, meant to keep
out the vacuum of space if the ship's hull got breached, after all.As
incredible as her first intimate experience one week ago had been, in
many ways she had enjoyed this time more. There was no looming threat of
a suicidal mission in a couple hours, and she knew for certain that the
experience would not be lethal, or even cause a very serious reaction.
There was no rush or worry or fear when she made love to Shepard this
night, only peace and joy and pleasure.Tali lay in bed with
Shepard. Him flatly on his back, his head turned in Tali's direction.
The bed sheets covered both their bodies, and she was cuddled up against
him, arms wrapped tightly around his chest, and her head nestled under
his chin. Shepard was sound asleep, and had been for a while now. Tali,
however, was very much awake.It's a rare privilege for Tali to be
out of her suit. And to be in bed, cuddled with someone she loved so
deeply? No, she could not possibly go to sleep. She needed to stay awake
and savor every second that passed. Her mind needed to process the
blissful moment. For so many years, her skin had felt almost nothing but
the material of her suit. Her skin was incredibly sensitive and soft; a
result of being wrapped up in a sterile suit for so long. Feeling the
warmth and softness of Shepard's skin was pure ecstasy. The high
thread-count sheets that had been provided for the captain's bed by
Cerberus felt pretty nice against her skin, too.She could hear
Shepard's heart beating. Being able to hear, and feel, the heart of
another person was also something new and alien to her. Though she
recalled embracing her parents multiple times as a child, she had never
heard their hearts beating; their environmental suits never allowed the
subtle sound of a beating heart to get through. But Shepard's was loud
and clear; he had a big heart, and not just in a metaphorical sense. She
felt her own heart beating, synced up with his. Shepard and Tali were
truly one, in this place and time.Tali realized she was
experiencing joy and happiness at a level she never felt before. And she
also realized, that it was wrong. She shouldn't get to feel so happy.
Back on the Flotilla where she lived her whole life, one Quarian's
happiness always came at the cost of another's. If someone received
extra rations or supplies, it was because someone else had received
fewer. If a family enjoyed a spacious room, it was because another
family had a small one. Tali's entire upbringing told her that if she
felt so much joy, it was because someone else was being deprived of it.
She couldn't help but feel guilt.She looked up at Shepard. His
face was barely visible in the dark. She considered what an amazing
person he was. He was handsome and famous; a commander in the Alliance
Navy and a war hero. The First Human Spectre. Hero of the Battle of the
Citadel. Bane of the Reapers. So many titles were applicable to him; he
had accomplished so much, there was no one else like him in the entire
galaxy. Billions of women of all races throughout the galaxy would throw
themselves at Shepard if given the chance.Images of Shepard
using the decontamination unit to sterilize the room before they had
made love, entered Tali's mind. She thought to herself, why should he
have to put up with that hassle? There are millions of beautiful women
out there Shepard could choose from. Women that Shepard could kiss
whenever he wanted, look at their face whenever he wanted, and make love
to them whenever he wanted, without the hassle and precautions that
Tali requires due to her weak immune system. She realized who her
current happiness was at the expense of. It was Shepard's.Her
eyes watered up from this realization; from these thoughts of guilt.
After a few seconds, tears formed, and slowly slid down her face before
falling unto Shepard's shoulder. She tried to hold her tears back, but
it was too much. Feeling so selfish, and knowing the best thing would be
to let Shepard go, was simply too much. Tali began to weep. Her crying
immediately woke Shepard up."Tali? Tali what's wrong? Are you
sick? Do you feel alright?" Shepard asked, alarmed, as he sat up on the
bed, and reached over and hit the lights button. The lights came on, and
Shepard looked at Tali. Her hands covered her face as she wept."N-no.
I'm okay… It's just, I… I just—" Tali's own crying interrupted her
sentence, and she couldn't finish her words. Shepard observed, and he
realized that she was physically alright. She just needed to cry, to let
it all out. He didn't know why, but he knew that the best thing would
be to just comfort her, and wait until she finished."It's okay,
Tali. It's okay." He said softly, and kissed her forehead, wrapping his
arms around her shoulders and just holding her tightly. She buried her
face into his neck, and continued her weeping. She needed a good cry.
Many of her feelings and emotions were as trapped in her mind, as her
body had been trapped in her suit.Over the next few minutes her
weeping slowed down. It eventually ended. There was just silence, as
Tali lay against Shepard, her head on his shoulder and his arms wrapped
around her. Shepard inhaled, sighed, and broke the silence."Do
you want to talk, Tali?" he asked, ending the question with a gentle
squeeze with his arms, being as comforting as possible to her."Shepard,
I'm… being selfish… with you. I shouldn't be with you. You deserve
someone that—there are so many women out there… that can make you
happier than me…" Tali said quietly, somewhat nervously. Shepard was
about to interrupt her, but she continued speaking, with more momentum
and focus. "All the things you had to do tonight so that we could be
together. Using the decontamination unit to sterilize this room--with
any other woman you wouldn't have to do that! With any other woman you
could look at her face whenever you felt like it. Feel her skin whenever
you wanted to. Kiss her, and make love to her with no concern. Any
other woman isn't trapped in some damned suit, with a damned helmet on
her head. You just… deserve all that, Shepard. That's why I'm… being
selfish by being with you."Tali's eyes began to water, but she
continued speaking, her voice wavering "What if you wanted children one
day? I can't even do that! Millions of human women can, millions of
Asari can! It's just not—it isn't fair! You…deserve better." She could
no longer hold her tears back, and began crying again, into Shepard's
neck. A gentle whimper was heard, as she cried: "I… just want you to be
happy…"Shepard took in a deep breath and sighed. With just words
he had resolved so many issues, solved so many problems, and even saved
several lives. The right words always just flowed out of him, he never
even had to really think about what to say, the right words were always
there. But this moment gave him pause. He had to think, his words needed
to be perfect, for Tali's sake. Countless ideas raced through his head
on how to approach this, on what to say. None of them felt right.
Finally, he decided to just let his mind go blank, and have faith that
the right words would just come out, as they had so many times before.There
was silence. Tali's crying had stopped, though she remained embraced
with Shepard, her face buried into his neck. After a short while, the
silence was broken in a most unexpected way. Shepard began to chuckle
very lightly, which then grew into a quiet laugh. Tali didn't ask what
he found humorous, though she was curious. Shepard began to speak,
amidst his laughter."Do you remember when we were helping Mordin
find his assistant, and we ran into that depressed Krogan scout?" He
asked, with amusement in his voice "And I yelled at him that he was
acting like a Quarian with a tummy ache?" Shepard laughed.Despite
Tali's recent sadness, she couldn't help the slight, sudden chuckle
that escaped her mouth at hearing Shepard's recollection. "Yes, I
remember that. And it was not funny, Shepard" She said, lying, as she
herself couldn't help but laugh a little.Shepard turned to his
side, so that he could look at Tali's face. He looked into her eyes,
smiled, and spoke. "You know, it's pretty common among humans, for males
to tease females that they like." Tali just smiled. "And it's also
fairly common among human males, for us to kiss females we're in love
with…" Shepard added.Tali's smile widened, and she responded.
"Doesn't sound so different from Quarians…" Shepard placed his hand on
her cheek, and gently held her head as he came in and pressed his lips
with hers, giving her a long, slow, gentle kiss while his hand gently
caressed her face.As their lips slowly parted and their kiss
ended, Shepard knew that he still had to address Tali's concern. She
seemed at peace and calm right now, but her concerns were still buried
in her mind. They needed to be dealt with. She needed to understand why
she was so important to Shepard. "Tali, about all the things you said. I
understand why you think those things; you're a very selfless and
caring person. You're genuinely the most unselfish person I've ever
known. And you know what? It's one of the reasons you're so important to
me, and why I don't want anyone else besides you; why you're worth
every precaution we have to take to be together.""You probably
know
that I grew up on Earth, and Now this is the story all about how my
life got flipped, turned upside down. And Id like to take a minute just
sit right there. Ill tell you how I became the prince of a town called
bel-air. In west philadelfia born and raised on the playground where I spent most of my days.
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool ,and all shooting some b-ball outside of the school.
When a couple of guys said were up in no good .Started making trouble in my neighborhood.
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared and said "you're moving with your aunte and uncle in bel-air"

Yay for speed reading. Personally i would never write a fanfiction, I would just butcher it to death.

It was nice. Very difficult to keep track of, Paragraphs are your best friend. But the tone was good.

WTB TalixLegion Fanfiction. 1000 creds.

Put it on here.

Format it (as in, paragraphs). Not posting it on the forums will make this easier.

Then I will read it.

Coincidentally I searched up some Mass Effect fan fiction one night when I had nothing to do, and "your" story sounds quiet familiar.

Pretty original bro.

If you're trolling you should try harder.
