[Then Kay can have the Han Solo "I know" moment.]
What's today, Tuesday? [Really that should be evidence enough that he's working too damn hard.] There was that Nova Deputy beach thing last month, though I brought some work from Nexus with me... Oh, and I had to swing into Aster afterwards because they wanted me to take a look at something. And then I was on duty that night... [He shrugs.] Beach day. Still counts. Besides, I like to keep busy. Call it a turian thing.
[YES HE IS OVERWORKED PLEASE MAKE HIM TAKE AN ACTUAL DAY OFF KAY.]
That's good. I'm going to bring my own weapons, though; I prefer them to what they have on hand. You could try them out if you want. Might even let you handle my big gun.
[Wait no that came out wrong]
My sniper, I mean.
[It's a really good thing he has all that face plating to hide his blush.]

[Lovely. Looking forward to it.]
Beaches are evil, Garrus, there's sand in them. And about the other times, it sounds like you were still working in some fashion. [Those answer are not good enough for Kay.]
Your Turian self needs a day off. Sure there must be something you like to do when you have time for yourself [Please don't say calculations.
HE IS TRYING.]
That's generous of you to offer. I can't wait to get my hands on your big weapon. I'll be very careful with it, I have skilled fingers.

A present is delivered to K-2SO - notedly, to his workplace at Velvet Lust, not to the guardian station or his home.
Sensors will detect no danger, and when he opens the nondescript brown packing paper, he will find a wooden box. There is something distinctly Everglade about the finely grained black wood and ornate brass fittings.
Inside lays a clockwork heart of red glass and silver metal, the glass warm to the touch and glowing eerily. If you hold it long enough it will feel like it pulses in your hand. Everglade, indeed.
Tucked against the side of the box is an electronic message written on Nova City's counterpart to flexis.
I tried to find something less macabre, but nothing else got the point across like this.
- Cassian
Calculations will tell that it is too light for the material used. If the key at the top is turned it will indeed open, to reveal it is hollow and empty on the inside. The screws can be turned as well, just like the small cogwheels. It will take just the right combination to reveal another compartment. It holds a single white Lullaby pill.While Kay will know he has more than one, he hopes this will indeed get the point across.

[After opening the presents Kay is left in such state of surprise that it takes his seconds and incredibly long time -2 seconds- to process what he is seeing.
After that, Kay holds the heart close to his chest, asks permission to leave work early and goes to find Cassian. Time to show his boyfriend how much he appreciated the gift.]

[ She's just going to leave him a message because she's pissed off right now and he already hung up on the other conversation. She would've just dropped it, but apparently he's just not getting the picture. ]
Cassian has been calling me and texting me after I've told him I don't want to talk to him, I'd be willing to bet one or both of you swung by the apartment which is why I moved out because I don't want to deal with you, and now you're following me around and calling me names and basically just telling me that I'm unimportant, childish, a liar, insecure, petty, all because I said I wanted to be left alone and you don't like that I have a different opinion than he does. That's exactly harassment. I've been saying to leave me alone for weeks and you're saying I don't have the right to be pissed off when someone gets me to trust them and tells me I don't have the right to be happy, but then goes off and-- if he told you anything else was the problem, he's trying to cover his ass, K2SO.
Anyway, the reason I'm leaving you this message is to make it official. Either he didn't tell you that I told him to leave me alone or you seem to think that doesn't apply to you, so here's the official statement: screw off, I don't want anything to do with either of you, and remember what I said about coming after me again.
[ She's not going to respond, she just wanted to make that clear. ]

[He shrugs. What Kay calls work he calls play. He's right, though; sand is evil. It took him ages to get it all out from between his plates.] Hey, I'm not a beach person either. I didn't want to go, so I brought some stuff to distract me. I had some new bullet designs I was almost done with that I wanted to get done so we could get some prototypes made.
[Excuse you Kay it's calibrations.]
I enjoy my work. When I'm not in the office playing with weapons designs I usually pick up a bounty or two. Some of those have been a great time.
That's... [not what he was going for but he's okay with it. He just hadn't expected Kay to be so bold.] Yeah, I'm sure you do. I'm excited to see them at work. I bet it will feel great in your hands.
[Okay, that was really bad but cut him some slack! Turians have sex to relieve stress and he's been here over six months now, and it had been sometime before he was even brought here since he'd had the pleasure.]

[It really is. The bay is forbidden as dating place, who would want to go there?]
Bullet designs! [You really know how to charm a droid, Garrus. Alas, he is a bit oblivious to what are you trying to accomplish.] Cassian would like to know about those too.
I noticed, you care a lot about the law and justice. It's refreshing, specially because in my world does who try to do the right things are often the ones the people in charge wants to arrest.
[Kay has never been subtle, even if he has no idea what he accidentally was implying.]
An unforgettable experience, I bet.
[Sorry Garrus but Kay's not having sex with you on your first not date. I mean, he actually can't but it's also because of principles.Right, those</strike]

[Right. Cassian. Because that's who he wants brought up on their date. But hey, their bros, right? So Andor would totally be okay with him going out with Kay, right? ...Right?
Let's focus on happier things. Like compliments!]
I won't say Shepard never disobeyed orders to do the right thing, but generally things worked out in the end. My government has its flaws, but yours sounds like it has more.
[Luckily for Kay Cassian's already filled him in on the whole Rebels thing so he knows that they're not criminal criminals.]

Shepard was the commander of the Normandy. First human spectre and did what she had to no matter what the people above her wanted. Hell of a woman -
[There's a fondness in his voice. It's the first time he's spoken about her and not felt a pang. It's about time he moved on. After all, there was no coming back from that.wrong totally wrong]
- and a great friend.

[It's sweet, the way Garrus speaks of her, and Kay's voice softens somewhat too.]
She sounds like a very impressive woman. One I'd like to meet if I ever have the chance.
Maybe you can tell me more about your adventures together when we meet in person.

[Garrus nods. Any person would be lucky to meet her - so long as they weren't standing in her way.]
I'll tell you about some of my past adventures if you tell me some of yours.
[He'll tell you about his either way but he wants to get to know you better so it seems like a good idea.]

Cassian has this little quirk of being too shy awkward to hand over presents in person, and this time is no different.
He had to leave early today while Kay was still charging, it's the perfect opportunity to leave a little something on the nightstand for him.
It's a nondescript box wrapped in tasteful, but generic mint-green wrapping paper, with a blue bow. The only sign of its contents is Cassian's still-messy handwriting, in big, bold Outer Rim Aurebesh letters, saying
HANDLE CAREFULLY
DO NOT SHAKE OR DROP
Once the wrapping paper has been removed a more familiar style of ammunition box comes to the fore, holding the brand symbol of Nexus Defense Industries.
He will find five Nova City-style stun grenades nestled in the box, along with a flexi whose message is simply Thank You

[At first Kay eyes the box with distrust, until he spots Cassian's handwriting and relaxes. He doesn't think he's done anything to deserve it so he's a bit surprised for the present.
And what a lovely present it is. He picks up one of the grenades very carefully to inspect it, almost cooing with happiness. Time to talk with Cass and thank him.]

[Cassian isn't exactly nervous on his patrol. That would be cruel. So he was menacing the car drivers of Attleton by handing out fees for parking misdemeanors and he has chewed out a terrified teenager for throwing a soda can into the bushes but that was him being conscientious. It wasn't him being nervous and making busy work to distract himself.
Kay finds him in the park, checking for signs of nightly gang or mob activity since it's a favorite hangout for their troublemakers. When he catches sight of Kay he looks like a bantha caught in the speeder lights.]
There has been a refreshing lack of mob murders lately. Serial killers are great.

[If Kay had known about his boyfriend's whereabouts sooner, he might have laughed at Cassian's attempt to distract himself. Of course, Cass isn't nervous, that would be silly, uh huh.
The droid is carrying the present with him, Keeping the box close to his chest and handling it with care. Perhaps he should walk around the cities with grenades but it's a very nice present and he's still gushing over it. Cassian's way of greeting him would be worthy of an eyebrow raise if Kay had them.]
Yes, I'm sure that the populace general consensus about killers is that they are 'great' [He says it with fondness instead of sarcasm as if Cassian being absurd is terribly endearing.] I've got your present, I wanted to say thanks.
Oh.
[ He rubs a hand over the back of his neck and gives Kay a sheepish little grin. It might make him look younger than he normally appears, but mostly he just feels very awkward. But, oh, he likes it when Kay sounds so fond of him, always leaves him flustered. ]
That was badly worded, huh?
[ He looks down at the tips of his boots, very aware that Kay is holding the box. ]
I don't think you're supposed to be carrying these around town.

[Kay’s eyes glint and there’s a tilt to his head that happens every time he looks at Cassian when the man is being stupidly adorable.]
Could have been worded differently, yes. [Kay takes a few steps closer, hand reaching out to cup Cassian’s face so he’s looking up at him instead.] I won’t drop them. And I wanted to thank you for the present. Did I do something to deserve it?
