one of my favorite pieces by the unparalleled nyx-pix here on tumblr. that line drawn between shepard’s cheekbone and jaw is like the line they hold for so long. it’s the same tension that keeps them in orbit and—for a long, long while—keeps them apart, that holds them up despite the gravity working against them, holding them down. and it’s the grace in shepard’s fingers, the ease in kaidan’s face, the crush of their bodies chest to chest and hip to hip, no space at all left between them—except in the breath they’re sharing, the breath they’ve caught together. rest and peace and the struggle behind it, the line drawn between shepard’s cheek and jaw, the line he draws with his finger over kaidan’s uniform and under that, his skin. they’re nuzzling, not kissing. and the intimacy is like the calm at the center of a storm.

one of these days, they’re going to get their share of lazy mornings. plenty of them, sprawled out in bed, forgetting to shave, stubble-burn on their lips. shepard against a soft pillow with his arm thrown over his eyes, while kaidan stretches everything out of each lazy muscle, remembering how good it was to be with someone all night. when he rubs his chin it’ll make a scratchy sound, the back of his hand covering a yawn he can’t help, and then he’ll feel it, shepard’s eyes on him under the shadow of his elbow, counting the grays in kaidan’s hair and the beat of the pulse in his throat. saying ‘it suits you, kaidan,’ before rolling in close.
