Hey guys! So, this is like my second fic and I don't normally do these types of things but I've been dreaming about improving my creative writing skills and uploading my work for all to see! I've been working on this for a while and I hope you like!

I don't own anything!

If she had to choose one thing in her life she never wanted to deal with again, it was hospitals.

The walls were white, the fluorescent lighting gave her massive headaches and she was almost positive the staff was trying to kill her with kindness. Seriously, they were all cautious smiles and soft, friendly voices and she wasn't too sure she would make it out of there without ripping someone a new asshole.

"My name isn't honey," she said, pouting. She pushed away her red jello cup, the pathetic cubes dancing happily in their mustard yellow bowl. A deep, flanging chuckle from next to her had her frown growing deeper, the lines between her eyebrows creasing further.

"What are you laughing about?"

Garrus Vakarian leaned forward, his arms crossed and braced on the edge of her bed, and shook his head at his girlfriend's deeply aggravated expression. He knew the moment the blonde fringed nurse had set the tray down on her table that Shepard would be annoyed. It never failed.

"She's just trying to be nice. Make you comfortable…honey."

The Commander sent him a searing glare and sunk down further into the mattress, staring at the jello that had gone still.

"How much longer do I have to stay?"

Garrus leaned back in what he dubbed his chair. The nursing staff, after becoming quickly aware that, yes, he was her boyfriend, and no, he wasn't leaving, they conjured up an old arm chair from the basement that hadn't been used in ages, cleaned it off and gave it to him as a gift for keeping the Commander in her bed and hooked up to her IV's when all she wanted was to escape.

"Only one more month, Shep. Then you can tell the nurses to take their flowers and shove them up their asses."

That got a smile out of her. Any and all positive reaction he could garner out of her he called a win, especially when she was confined to a hospital bed for 20 hours a day. He flicked off his omni tool after checking the time and stood to close the curtains so she could sleep easily without the view of the construction site. When he turned back, she sat grudgingly eating the jello the blonde nurse had brought in.

He chuckled to himself and sat back down in his seat, content to watch her eat.

Let me know what you guys think and if you're interested in me continuing! Thanks!
