Chapter Text
-------------------------------------
“And there we were, like…” Shepard fumbled mid sentence, a growing buzz giving the telltale slur and inflection to his words. A happy smile made it way on his face as his eyes landed on Kaidan, who was talking animatedly with Steve and Jack; drink in one hand, the other waving erratically as he weaved a tale. His eyes trailed lower and landed on his ass, which looked hella fine in tight black jeans.
“Uh…Shepard?” Tali shifted uncomfortably, following his eyes and quickly turning away, clutching her drink tightly. “I’m just gonna…yeah, I’ll just go get a quick refill.”
As she shuffled away he realized he had been leering. His cheeks flushed and he stood there awkwardly for a moment, debating what to do next. “Ahh the hell with it…” Steeling his shoulders and ignoring the slight wobble to his steps he marched right up to his husband and wrapped his arms around Kaidan’s waist, planting a kiss on his cheeks and then rested his head on his shoulder.
“Heeeyyy, there you are.” Kaidan said as he absently patted John’s head with his free hand, blushing as he glanced at Jack and Steve. He gave an apologetic half shrug.
“Missed you.” Shepard mumbled, nuzzling further into Kaidan’s shoulder, taking a deep breath, breathing him in. It was a clean scent, his woodsy aftershave with just a slight hint of sweat, a scent all Kaidan’s own, and it was driving him crazy. One hand was wrapped firmly around Kaidan’s waist, the other roamed freely till it landed on his ass. Shepard gave it a good squeeze, which caused Kaidan to jump, before his settled his hand in the back pocket.
“Missed you too Shepard, even though it’s only been fifteen minutes.” Kaidan chuckled softly and started rocking back and forth, gently swaying to the music.
“Fuck me, cut my eyes out and throw them out the nearest airlock. You guys are killing me.” Jack rolled her eyes and took a long pull of her beer.
Steve just laughed and shook his head. “Seeing the newlyweds making you jealous Jack?”
She glared and gave an exasperated sigh. “Hell no! Getting married is a ball and chain man. Now they are stuck shagging only each other for the rest of their lives.” She gives Kaidan a pointed glance. “Think of all that hot tail you’re gonna miss out on. No thanks.” She takes another long pull of her beer and sets the empty glass on the bar.
“Oh Jack, you’re just jealous that this hot tail got taken off the market before you got to tap it.” Shepard laughed and shook his ass slowly, taking the opportunity to rub his crotch against Kaidan. “Hmm, yep. Your loss.”
Kaidan sputtered around his beer, taking the opportunity to extricate himself from Shepard. He looked into Shepard’s eyes and let out a, “huh.” He nodded and his eyes flashed for a moment. “Yeah, sorry guys, can you give us a few?”
“Ugh. I’m gonna go find someone who doesn’t like dick to hit on. Later losers.” Jack pushed her way through the crowd leaving Steve alone with the two of them.
“Yeah, I’m gonna take that as my queue to find James. Have fun you two.” Steve waved and made a quick beeline to James, who was attempting, in vain, to gain the attention of a woman at the bar.
“Finally” Shepard murmured. “I have you all to myself.” He tugged Kaidan away from the bar and towards the men’s room.
“Oh no, no way. We are not having sex in a bathroom Shepard.” He attempted to escape John’s grasp before finally giving in and following him into the restroom. “Its smells gross. Definitely killin…”
He was cut off as John shoved him against the wall and claimed his mouth with a kiss, automatically opening up to his probing tongue. They broke contact to catch their breaths and while Kaidan tried to control his heartbeat Shepard gave him a smug smile.
“Not bathroom sex Kaidan, just a nice make out session maybe?” He waggled his eye brows suggestively, grin widening. At Kaidan’s answering nod, he went back for more, this time trailing kisses up his neck and sucking at the pulse point. Kaidan let out a soft moan that lit a fire in Shepard’s gut. He started to grind their hips together while still sucking on Kaidan’s neck when the door opened and someone cleared their throat.
Garrus stood there a moment, mandibles twitching, before muttering “You know what, I’ll come back.” A few seconds later Kaidan lets out a snort and then a small laugh which grew into a fit of laughter.
“Whats so funny?” Shepard asked. He tried to dampen his annoyance at the interruption and the laughter was definitely killing the ‘sexy time’ mood.
“I finally just realized what was off all night.” He managed in between deep breaths and bouts of more laughter. “Why our friends have been acting so weird tonight.”
“Enlighten me?” Shepard pulled back, crossed his arms around his chest and stared at his husband, waiting for him to catch his breath.
““We’ve become the clingy newlyweds you always complained about.” He started laughing again, bowed over, hands on his thighs, shaking with mirth.
This time, Shepard joined him.
