Jeez, Part 14. Sorry it's been dragging. This'll be the last for this fanfic, but I'm hoping to start a new one soon, if I can fit it into my schedule.
Hope it's okay, took me like 15 tries.
"The fragmentation here would only result if the weapon had a hilt. We'll know और after we finish the examination and Hodgins gets some samples." कहा Brennan, दिखा रहा है Wendall what she'd found. The worked quietly, keeping the बोन्स close to their faces या under a microscope so they could see the tiniest anomaly. Hodgins worked near them, going between his microscope and computer.
Cam walked toward the platform, followed closely द्वारा Angela. They made there way to the skeleton and stopped in front of Dr. Brennan. Cam looked at Brennan, a mixture of disapproval and amusement on her face.
"Dr. Brennan?" कहा Cam. Brennan continued her examination, but Cam went on, "I need to speak with you. I've noticed आप and Booth अभिनय differently, ever since he got out of the hospital."
Brennan looked up now, but seeing Booth coming toward them, she went back to her work, just in case her face revealed anything. "And?"
"And I want to know what's going on between आप two. I'm the boss, remember?" Booth walked onto the platform now. He met Brennan at the examination तालिका, टेबल and stood अगला to her protectively.
"Nothing is going on Cam. We have work to do." कहा Brennan, straightening herself अगला to Booth.
"Bren, we just want to know if there's anything there. I'm your best friend, आप can tell me." कहा Angela in a pleading voice.
"Ange, I have to get back to work. I'm done with the skull, द्वारा the way." Brennan handed her the skull.
"K. I'll get to work. Come on Cam." कहा Angela, pulling Cam's arm as she turned away.
Booth leaned down, leveling himself with Temperance. "Close one. Why didn't आप say anything?"
"I couldn't give in. Besides, it's not affecting our work."
The अगला few days went द्वारा smoothly, Brennan went into the field with Booth as usual, Wendall helped out with the forensics. After a particularly hard day, Brennan and Booth decided to get रात का खाना before going home. They sat in the diner, the तालिका, टेबल अगला to the window.
"Booth, what would आप say we are?" कहा Brennan, reaching over to take one of his fries.
Booth swatted playfully at her hand and replied, "I don't know. Depends on who आप ask."
"I'm asking you."
"I think we're a couple. I mean, we do all the things people do in relationships."
"Like what?" asked Brennan, picking at her salad.
"We eat off each other's plates, आप come with me on days out with Parker. आप know, couple things." कहा Booth, taking a big bite of his burger.
"Oh..." she thought for a moment, "In all the other relationships I've had, we didn't do those types of things."
Booth sighed, wiped his face, then-"Bones, it's hard to get close to you. Those guys just didn't try as hard as me, I guess. What's this all about?"
"The other day, when Cam asked about us."
Booth looked puzzled, "What does that have to do with what we consider ourselves?"
"Well, if I had told her, what would I have said?" Brennan looked worried, like it truly mattered what they told people. She had stopped eating completely now, her stomach too full of knots for her to eat.
"Whatever आप wanted. We are what we want to be. If a relationship scares you, we could tell people we're seeing each other casually."
"It doesn't scare me, I just don't want to get into things too quickly. If it ends badly, then work will be awkward for both of us." she said.
"Who says it has to end?" challenged Booth, leaning his elbows on the table.
"It's inevitable, Booth."
"No it's not. आप just want it to be inevitable, prepare yourself for being hurt."
"Booth, आप know I compartmentalize. If I were the one to cause the break up, I'd deal with it." कहा Temperance, a little uncertain about herself.
Booth leaned back in his chair and started eating again. After a moment- "I highly doubt I'll be the one to break us up, if we do break up."
Brennan smiled. She leaned आगे and kissed his cheek, "I don't think I'll be the one to either."
"Hey, Wendall. I have the skull, running the picture through Missing Persons Database now...Can I ask आप something?" कहा Angela, leaning against the counter as she looked at Wendall.
"Uhh, sure."
"Have आप noticed anything between Booth and Brennan? आप spend a lot of time with them, आप know, without Cam या Hodgins या me."
"Well..." कहा Wendall uncertainly, not wanting to betray his boss.
"It's fine, I'm her best friend, I need to know these things."
"Well, after आप and Cam asked about them the other day, Booth asked her why she didn't tell. And once I saw them चुंबन in her office, and holding hands in the parking lot."
"Oh, wow. Thanks, Wendall. I won't tell her आप told." And with that, she went off in खोजिए of Booth.
Booth sat in Brennan's office, feet on the coffee तालिका, टेबल and hands passing a ball back and forth. He sang under his breath, waiting for Brennan to get back. He sat up quickly when he saw Angela in front of him, looking sternly at him.
"I know about आप two."
"Huh?" कहा Booth.
"Booth, आप and Brennan, you're together...Right?"
"Uhh, yeah? I mean we're together, but I don't know if बोन्स would want me to कन्फर्म it. Who told you?" asked Booth curiously.
"Wendall. आप guys aren't exactly good about hiding it around the lab."
"Right. I gotta go get Bones, new suspect."
"Yeah, right." कहा Angela slyly.
"Bones! I'm back!" called Booth, carrying the groceries into the apartment. He walked into the रसोई, रसोईघर and started unpacking the food. As he was putting the eggs in the fridge Brennan walked in, wearing only a nightshirt. Booth froze, amazed that she would even buy such a revealing लेख of clothing. Brennan smirked and helped with the rest of the groceries. She started dinner, talking about work and such.
"So what's new with you?" कहा Brennan,looking up from her chicken.
"I talked to Angela today. She knows about us, I guess Wendall saw us together या something. This is amazing."
"Thanks. So, what'd आप say to her? I assume she didn't tell आप she knew then just walked away."
"I कहा I didn't know if should कन्फर्म it, that I wanted to let आप do that. If आप want to." he looked at her uncertainly as he कहा this.
Later that night, Booth crept into Brennan's room. She was laying on her bed, curled into the fetal position. He tip-toed to the बिस्तर and walked around to the other side,slipping under the covers.
"Booth?" कहा Brennan groggily.
"Shhh, go back to sleep." he said. He brushed the hair from her face and hummed softly, putting her to sleep quickly. "I प्यार you, Bones. Always."
Comments are very much appreciated! This is the last one, so I hope it's ok :/
