13. if you were to choose a class for them, what would it be? Combat netrunner

14. what is their weapon of choice? M-179 Achilles precision rifle, Malorian Arms 3516 gun

15. what is their preferred vehicle or transportation of choice? Villefort Cortes Delamain no.21 & Yaiba Kusanagi CT-3X. Depends on his mood and how fast he needs to arrive

16. how would you describe their style? He’s a shameless looter and wears only the best from his fallen enemies :) But mostly it’s neomilitarism

17. are they a early riser or a night owl? Night owl. He can adapt but at any given chance he stays up late and wakes up late

18. share three songs you associate with them. Devils Got You Beat - Blues Saraceno Nu Disco Remix Limp Bizkit - Break Stuff Jonathan Davis - Walk On By

NIGHT CITY.

19. is your character from night city? if no, where were they born? what brought them to night city? if yes, what area of the city did they grow up? Charter Hill, Night City. It’s a corpo district, relatively new. Used to be a nice place until everyone with big pockets got the hots for North Oak. Now it’s just the most affordable comfort area for mid-level corpos

20. where do they currently live? describe their home. He currently resides at the Arasaka Family Compound outskirts of Tokyo. It’s a huge ass fortress in a feudal style, beautiful and old-fashioned. He has a simple but spacious room in a traditional Japanese style with a futon mattress. He loathes it & most of the people around but at least he gets fed well regularly, and he enjoys spending time in a cherry grove garden

21. do they have any favorite spots around NC? A garden in the Glen, he found it refreshing

22. do they like to cook for themselves, or eat out? do they prefer restaurants or street food? and how do they feel about vending machine food? He doesn’t like vending machines and enjoys the food served at the Compound, even if it seems exotic to him. But occasionally he eats street food to remind himself of his past life

23. do they prefer the city or the badlands? Stone jungles all the way. He was born in the city and he doesn’t get the appeal of dirt, sand and wind

24. what gang/faction/corporation do they align with, if any? Arasaka. He always thought it was more promising than Militech despite his parents’ lectures. His fate within the company wasn’t always good but he worked hard to prove himself. In some twisted way it did pay off

25. which radio station(s) is their favorite? He switches between Pacific Dreams, Vexelstrom, Samizdat and Morro Rock

26. if they do merc work, do they have one dedicated fixer? if so, who? Not really but he enjoyed working with Rogue. Johnny was right, she is the best. Her charisma is unmatched

29. do they have any favorite celebrities that frequent or live in NC? how would they feel meeting them? V isn’t into celebrities. His closest experience to meeting one would be abduction of Hanako Arasaka. It wasn’t part of the plan and at first he thought he screwed up even worse than before - she was his former boss’ daughter at the time and he was practically begging her for help. But for some strange reason she reached out to him more than once so maybe he wasn’t so terrible

RELATIONSHIPS.

30. is your friend a social butterfly or more of a loner? Not exactly a butterfly but certainly not a loner. He socializes well but currently the world of top-level managers makes him feel out of place. Not a lot of people to connect to and it’s suffocating

31. who are their closest chooms in NC? Jackie was. Now it’s Viktor Vector and Misty but he hasn’t seen them in a while

32. do they have anyone they would consider family? Judy and Panam as they went through a lot together and supported each other

33. what is/was their relationship like with their parents? They are Militech managers so they weren’t happy when he chose Arasaka. They don’t communicate ever since

34. do they have siblings? He has an older brother Andras ‘Andy’ Toth but he hasn’t spoken to him for a while either

35. how would you describe their relationship with their family? Estranged

36. who is their biggest enemy? At this point anyone The Arasakas point their fingers at

37. tell a short story about your character with their best choom. Not exactly a story but V regrets never telling Jackie how much he affected his life. Jackie was a real force of nature

38. do they have a love interest? if so, who? He might... But he’s completely oblivious to his feelings and she’s way out of his league. It’s Hanako Arasaka

39. are they in a committed relationship or do they date around? They’re not and they don’t

40. has your character ever been in love? if so, with who? Once, with another corpo girl at Arasaka long time ago. It didn’t work

41. do they believe in soulmates? No, he believes in luck and mutual efforts

42. do they believe in love at first sight? He heard about it but it never happened to him and he doesn’t believe he can fall for someone just seeing them for the first time. You literally don’t know them at all at this point. He believes that love is a mutual investment and work

43. describe their ideal date. At this point it might be something as simple as watching sakura trees blooming. Small pleasures of life

44. would your character ever get married? If he had more time to live then maybe, theoretically. If he could be with someone special and circumstances worked in their favor

45. what was your characters first impression of their partner(s)? Not a partner but rather a love interest. He thought that Hanako handled herself well given the overall situation, and even was arrogant as fuck. Maybe that’s why she impressed him, it left a mark on his memory. I mean, you kidnap someone and they pretty much insult you? Fuck yes, no gift wrap is required

46. are they open about their relationship or low key? how would other people feel about them together? They’re not in a relationship but if they would be then it’d definitely be low key. No one should know, otherwise it may create serious problems for both

47. share a headcanon about your character and their partner(s). He likes to take and touch things from her table when he’s pensive during their conversations. Occasionally he spouts self-made haiku when the mood strikes him and boy - he’s terrible at it

48. share three songs you associate with your character and their partner(s). Chris Isaak - Wicked Game Jonathan Davis - Basic Needs The Rolling Stones - Anybody Seen My Baby? Hikaru Utada - Heart Station

NSFW.

50. name three of your characters biggest kinks. Not taking clothes off; Voyeurism; Footsie

51. do they like having multiple partners or do they prefer monogamy? When it comes to a relationship he’s fully committed but he hasn’t been in one for a long time

52. do they watch porn or braindances? Both but BDs beat porn. He doesn’t do it often though

53. would your character ever make an explicit braindance? No, he’s not interested and not in a position to make one

54. do they have any cybernetic enhancements that serve sexual purposes? No

55. do they have a preference for ‘ganic bodies or do they like modifications? He doesn’t care much as long as he likes the person. Organic bodies are soft and warm, they give different kind of sensations. But he’s not picky

56. name three of your characters biggest turn offs. Low IQ, overly sexual behavior, manipulations

57. what is their ultimate fantasy? or ““secret”“ kink? Don’t ask because he won’t tell you even if his life depended on it. It’s bending Hanako over her piano and giving her a hard fuck, and once they’re done it’s breathing heavily in unison against her neck, their hands holding each other, her golden fingers leaving bruises on his thighs afterwards

58. would they ever use any substances like aphrodisiacs, alcohol or drugs during sex? No, he prefers natural sensations. At least as long as his nervous system is working properly

59. what is their wildest sexual experience? He accidentally almost drowned once during sex in a bathtub

60. are they more submissive or dominant? Dominant

61. does your character need to have an intimate relationship with someone to have sex? or do they prefer being unattached? That depends on a situation. Intimate relationship heightens the effects but aren’t necessary to derive pleasure

63. do they like to sext or play over the holo? Yes, if there’s a appropriate time for it

64. has your character ever ghosted someone after a sexual encounter? Yes

65. how would they react if they were ghosted by someone they like after a sexual encounter? He’s already been ghosted by Meredith Stout and he doesn’t think it’s a big deal. It’s unpleasant but why focus on something that doesn’t work if you can find more opportunities?

66. do they prefer kink oriented sex or spontaneous passionate sex? If he had to choose then it would be the latter

67. how do they get down on their own? quick and easy or do they have to romance themselves a little? Quick and easy, all he needs is imagination and a shower. Just don’t disturb him

68. in what outfit do they feel sexiest? how do they dress to impress? Anything that’s clean, fresh and comfortable to wear

69. do they like having music on while they have sex? share three songs they’d play while getting down. He never tried it with music but he’s always open to new experiences and suggestions

Closure

Hi, everyone! I’m a human trash basket with creative block, so this was sort of a writing exercise to help get myself back into it while also satisfying the need for this scene in the aftermath of High Noon in Mass Effect: Andromeda (I still can’t think of the phrase “high noon” without thinking of Matthew Mercer trying desperately not to use that phrase and saying instead, “the sun is high in the sky”). Enjoy approximately 1300 words of Reyder fluff!

The inside of Naota Ryder’s mouth tastes like cheap whiskey and Reyes Vidal’s tongue. It’s a heady mix of honeyed malt and the almost medicinal bitterness of whatever concoction Kian made at Reyes’ request. There’s warmth in his gut and along the side of his body where he’s pressed up against the other man, Reyes’ arm draped across his shoulders in a way that could be called casual were it not for the lips that occasionally brush his temple.

After spending some time dancing (and kissing), Naota and Reyes acquired drinks from the bar to nurse while they spoke in the privacy of Tartarus’ side room. Here the music is muted, like the dull throb of a fading headache, and it allowed them to converse without shouting over the cacophony as they sat close together on the booth side of the table.

Between Reyes’ lifestyle and Naota’s reserved nature, there will likely always be some secrets left untold��intentionally or not—but now there are fewer. They spoke of Reyes’ background in ballroom dancing and Naota’s in ballet and contemporary; a lightheartedness that was needed after they spent some time negotiating the establishment of a Nexus outpost on Kadara. During lulls in the conversation they traded kisses, and Naota finds that he is quickly becoming addicted to the shape of Reyes’ mouth and the precise feeling of it pressed against his own.

Now they simply sit in silence. Even with his eyes closed, Naota can see the glare of the red lights that offer dim illumination to the room, creating a mood that is at once dangerous and seductive. A part of him is still reeling at the revelation that Reyes is the Charlatan, even as another part of him had its suspicions. At first he was hurt that Reyes hadn’t told him, but he’s had time to think about it now—how long Reyes has been conducting his operatives from the shadows versus how long he and Reyes have known each other. Telling Naota the truth had the potential to put far more at risk than just their relationship, and besides… it would be rather hypocritical of Naota to condemn Reyes for lying out of omission when his own history isn’t as spotless as he would have the Andromeda Initiative believe. One day he’ll share that story with Reyes, when he’s ready.

His crew isn’t ready to trust Reyes, and they’ve made no efforts to conceal their doubts. But as far as Naota is concerned, his trust was never really broken, and he has no need for anyone’s blessing to see their relationship through. He is neither a child nor a nineteenth century maiden to be given away. He’s comfortable here in the circle of Reyes’ arm, and if that’s a mistake he will own it when the time comes.

Reyes’ hand tightens briefly on Naota’s upper arm to catch his attention. “Naota,” he says, his voice low.

Naota hums inquisitorially without opening his eyes.

“I wanted to talk about what happened in the cave.”

Heat rises to Naota’s face and he licks his lips with embarrassment. That could be referring to any number of things—a lot happened in that cave. After the reveal and the ‘duel’ that followed, adrenaline was running high. And so was passion. There’s a psychology term for it—misattribution of arousal... “Before or after Sloane was killed?” Naota asks.

“During, actually,” Reyes replies.

Naota’s eyes blink open. Ah, so they’re having this conversation. “Yeah?”

Reyes’ hand slips from his shoulder to the back of Naota’s neck as the smuggler leans back to look at him. Naota finds himself caught in the hazel of his gaze. Reyes’ expression is carefully neutral as he speaks. “You’re a sniper.”

“I am.”

“You have faced off with other snipers before.”

A guilty part of him finds a thrill in it: may the best sharpshooter win. “I have.”

Reyes studies his eyes with a scientist’s vigilance before he drops his head with a huffed breath. “I’ll admit, I was surprised when you allowed my man to take his shot.”

When he allowed it. The wording is very deliberate on Reyes’ part, and this does not go unnoticed by Naota. He sighs—the memory of it still leaves a sour taste in his mouth. He shifts to face Reyes and the other man’s hand slips even further until it just rests on his closest shoulder.

“Every instinct I have from my Alliance days was screaming at me to save her,” Naota tells him. “What you did was dishonourable, but in that moment I could only think of two things.”

Reyes raises his eyebrows. “And those were?”

“‘Fuck protection fees’—”

Reyes barks a laugh—

“—and that if Sloane survived, she would make sure that you didn’t; whether that meant killing you in the cave or hunting you down later. She’d be on a warpath. You would never be safe.”

Reyes smiles, but there’s something cautious about it. “I hope you know that I never meant to involve you in the end process of Kadara’s politics. I know that you’re not a political man.”

Naota’s own smile in return is calm and warm. “I know.” It was something he and Reyes talked about once over drinks while Naota was working to bring some measure of order to the Badlands. Being a Pathfinder is bigger than squabbles over territory and leadership; it’s about the survival of the Milky Way’s colonists. All of the Milky Way’s colonists, regardless of their relationship with Nexus leadership. Or at least, that’s how Naota feels about it. It’s how he thinks his dad would have looked at it.

“And about me being the Charlatan…”

“Don’t.” Naota shakes his head once, firmly. “If you’re going to apologize for keeping it from me, it isn’t necessary. Yes, I was hurt that you didn’t tell me, but I understand why. A lot of things scare me, Reyes. I think a part of me is scared all the time. But you don’t. And before anything else—smuggler, Shena, or the Charlatan—to me, you’re Reyes.”

Reyes’ eyes soften and his hand returns to the back of Naota’s neck while his other hand comes up to cup Naota’s jaw. Naota’s eyes slide shut the moment before their lips touch, and then for a long minute there’s just the steady movement of their mouths, tongues tasting and teeth testing while a low hum of arousal blooms in Naota’s stomach—too far beneath the surface to lead to anything more, but flaring briefly as Reyes’ thumb follows the path of his jugular. Naota rests his own palm in the centre of Reyes’ chest, feels the pounding of his heart beneath layers of clothing and flesh.

When they finally part, mere inches between them, Reyes murmurs into the space, “I allied myself with the right man.”

Naota laughs and can’t resist the urge to press a quick kiss to Reyes’ mouth. “I hope this isn’t how you consummate all of your alliances.”

“I think that was taken care of in the cave,” Reyes says, his eyes lidded. “By you.”

Naota flushes.

“And no—just the ones that are really important.” He leans in until his breath tickles Naota’s ear. “I’ll return the favour later—I promise.”

A shiver runs down Naota’s spine and he whispers back, “I’ll hold you to it.”

There’s a satisfied grin on Reyes’ face as he leans back to look at him. “Good. I find reciprocity is important in any stable alliance.”

“Shut up and kiss me.” Naota tugs Reyes forward by the front of his armour and he laughs against Naota’s lips.
