Grunt's Love Interest Option
By Dominicus
Jane walked slowly down the empty metallic hallway of the Normandy, doing her normal rounds before every mission. She preferred to talk to every single one of her squad mates before they went into battle. But this time it was different they were going to be heading off into the very mission that brought them all together in the first place, the assault on the collectors main base through the Omega Relay.
Nobody was looking forward to it, herself included. She giggled a bit as she thought to herself how funny it was that Cerebus brought her back just to send her on a SUICIDE mission. She then recollected her thoughts on her current task, she only had three people left to talk to before they reach the Omega Relay; Grunt, Mordin, and Jacob.
She had been nervous to talk to Grunt, things between them have been getting more intimate and awkward. She had always wanted to try out a Krogan based on the rumor of how 'well equipped' they were. But she and Grunt had started feeling certain ways about each other that made her very skeptical if this was a good idea for them. After all that was why she didn't get involved with Wrex.
Jacob has been flirting with her ever since they went on a mission to help his father. Even though it's all in good fun she's been getting the impression lately that he's been getting serious about it. Her brain was racked with questions that had to be asked. It was like the Saren mission all over again, she thought to herself how she could possible keep getting multiple suitors running after her.
She only entertained Kaiden out of pity, she thought if she rejected his sexual advancements that he was going to cry and get emotional, resulting in the mission being at risk. So she didn't really care what he would think if he found out.
She was approaching Mordin's Lab and started to clear her mind and let out a hugh sigh. She walked through the automatic door and into the lab, Mordin was busy at his computer working on some random project as always.
"Shepherd! How can I help?" Mordin asked, as always.
"Have you got a minute to talk?" Jane asked, not wanting to interrupt anything important.
"Actually wanted to talk... medical matters." He started to tell Jane as he stopped whatever he was doing to walk up to her.
"Aware that mission is dangerous, Different species... react differently to stress. Aware that sex relief normal for both Human and Krogan. Still Recommend caution... warn of Inflation." Mordin said as casual as ever, however Shepherd was stunned for a second that he brought it up so casually she couldn't talk for a second. When she snapped out of it, she realized what he said made sense, But she was still a little defensive.
"Grunt is very important to me doctor. Your not going to scare me off." Jane said with a hint of intimidation in her voice. Her eyes piercing into the Salarian.
"Of course, Hormones.. Still recommend caution." Mordin said, concern etched into his normally monotone voice. "Come and see me later for first aid and... draining." The last part he hesitated to say which made Jane very concerned.
"Do you have a recommendation as a doctor?" Jane asked, interested in what Mordin had in mind or could possible know.
"Of course, Grunt very little experienced; May cause bruising due to youthful Krogan angry nature. Also, warn of... Inflation can occur; Can cause false human reproduction cycle for the first and half of a second trimester if not drained properly. Will send ointments and bandages to your quarters, also sending advice booklets with androgynous.... overviews.. Although a common stress release for both species. Their is no demonstration vids for Krogan and Human relationships, it is... uncommon situation." He explained all within a single moment of standing in front of Shepherd. Although she did notice a slight smile on his face, she was beginning to think it was all a joke.
"Wait a second Mordin, your just jerking me around aren't you?" She asked on the verge of laughing herself.
"SHOCKING SUGGESTION! Patient/ Doctor confidentiality a sacred trust! Would never dream of... Mockery!" Mordin said back to Jane, he seemed generally shocked that she would openly suggest such a thing. "Enjoy yourself shepherd, will be right here if you need me studying cell reproduction, less alcohol and .... mood music required." Mordin said before going back to his console.
Jane smiled and shook her head as she walked out of the lab with more information then she ever wanted to know in a lifetime. She wondered what Mordin would have to say if she had interest in Garrus, Thane, or even Legion. She started laughing in the lonely hallway about how the 'Safe Sex Geth talk' would go. She got into the elevator and went down to cargo. She figured she would talk to Grunt next and get it over with.
She started to think about everything Mordin had said about sexual relations with a Krogan. It worried her and at the same time excited her, she really enjoyed danger maybe that was how she got into her line of work. The elevator doors open and she slowly walked over to where Grunt usually was.
"Shepherd." Grunt greeted her respectfully.
"Have you got a minute to talk?" Jane asked and then gave the Krogan a gentle smile. Grunt scratched his head in confusion and then looked around nervously.
"Yeah, I actually had a couple of things I needed to say, Battlemaster." Grunt told her, his posture very different then usual. Before he was very assertive and aggressive. Now he was more submissive and respectful.
"I.. am nervous about mating with you. At first when I told you about how I wanted more experience in mating before I acted on those breeding requests and you offered, I was surprised and very honored.. That my very Battlemaster... would give me such an honor." Grunt started, he then paced back and fourth. "But if you don't want to mate with me, I understand. I won't be angry or whatever." Shepherd smiled and put her hands on her hips.
"Sounds to me like your scared... Krogan." Jane said trying to tease the reptilian alien.
"Me? Scared?! I'm scared of nothing!!" Grunt said spinning around and raising his voice. When he realized how aggressive he was getting he stopped himself. " I was just letting you know as my Battlemaster, I wouldn't go crying in a corner like some damn Asari if you didn't want me." He continued trying to save face. Shepherd then thought to herself that maybe she had been to aggressive in the past.
"Look Grunt, I don't want to pressure you into anything. I'm only trying to help you. If you want to back out, that fine I won't be insulted." Shepherd said as she walked up to the Krogan and assured him of her honesty.
"Shepherd, your the only thing I like since I awoke from that damn tank. Of any species, I'm glad you are my Battlemaster. It's just hard for me to think about all of this at once damnit! Can I talk to you more in your den later? I need to think more.." Grunt said shaking his head in frustration.
"Yes. Just let me go talk to Jacob and meet me there in ten minutes." She said turning away and walking away, she was very concerned about Grunt. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all. But she put it out of her mind once she reached the elevator until later when Grunt knocked on her door.
She looked at the clock by her bed, he was early. She got up from her desk and let the Krogan inside.
"Shepherd... I've done some thinkin." Grunt started out he was looking Shepherd dead in the eyes with his soft baby blue eyes. They were full of aggressiveness but he wasn't being assertive still. "I wont lie to you, Battlemaster.. I am scared.. Scared that I might hurt you. I know your not a Krogan and your body might not be able to... withstand mine." Grunt continued, he kept looking her in the eyes.
"Grunt.. Why didn't you tell me this sooner?" Jane asked, She was really concerned now for Grunt. She'd never seen him behave this way.
"I'm a Krogan Shepherd, most of us don't really talk about our feelings that much." Grunt said stepping closer to the Human Battlemaster his eyes not faltering from her gaze. "But I decided to be honest with you Shepherd, I've been feeling something for you these past few lunar cycles. I don't know what it is, but I don't want to see you get hurt at all. I... just want to keep you safe." Grunt said seemingly pouring his heart out for his Battlemaster.
Shepherd knew what was happening to the young Krogan. She thought to herself how ironic it was that most people don't fall in love with her until after they had sex with her. She then thought to herself that she could give Grunt a chance to become a serious relationship. She just didn't know how she was going to break it to her parents that she was dating a Krogan.
"Grunt, you still have a lot to learn. If you want me, were going to have to take things slow. It hasn't been long since I released you from your tank. I know what your feeling and I'm flattered, But the most I can promise you is tonight, nothing beyond that." Shepherd informed him and then walked toward him and gently grabbing one of his hands and cups it in between both of hers. The difference in size is oblivious.
They stared into each others eyes in Shepherds room, the stale lighting seemingly illuminating Grunts beautiful blue eyes until Grunt eventually broke the silence.
"I understand Battlemaster." He simple stated and then held her close as he started to nibble her neck. She had read in the booklet that Krogans can't kiss and there way of kissing is to nibble the tender spot of the neck.
She put her hands on his shoulders and arched her back as she enjoyed his soft scaled lips coupled with his tongue. It was indeed a welcomed different experience for her, It took her back to college when she experimented with a Quarian, He was a good kind of different. But not as a good as Grunt. Grunt then released his grip and took off his chest armor plate to reveal a huge six pack and his surprisingly manly chest and shoulders.
Shepherd thought to herself how physically fit he was for being in a tank for so long. She then gave a approving smile and then sat down on her bed. Grunt walked over and picked her up and began to nibble her neck and chin as he started to unbutton her gray uniform. That night they shared one of their best experiences of their lives.
