Their first date was pitch on PERFECT! OMG, poor Wendell, he really must have thought things were going so smooth and then Hodgins actually ASKED if it was a date and his heart must have been in his throat and it was just so... <3 Sweet.

My favorite part was He's still not sure if he answered the question. He might have nodded; then again, he might have just gasped against Wendell's mouth when their lips brushed together. He knows at some point he reached up to grip the front of Wendell's coat, because when Wendell finally stopped kissing him Hodgins' fingers were clenched so hard around the fabric it took an effort to straighten them out again. Cause... well... Nnnggh guh. Hot. Just very very hot.

Though I am pretty sure I could copy and paste the entire thing in here and STILL have it be my favorite part. :)

Wendell has magic lips! They can turn a straight man gay!

Hah. I feel this fic doesn't live up to the version of their first date in my imagination, but I did my best. And I have been smiling like an idiot all morning.

I just feel so warm and fuzzy right now...and I'm smiling like a silly, silly girl. This just made me so happy, and before that I was having an annoying day, so yay for the happy you've given me.

Hodgins was so clueless, but then so sweet...and Wendell, I just wanted to pet him so he wouldn't be embarrassed when Jack asked him if it was a date.

They are just so cute, I want to pinch both their cheeks.

Awesome story, thanks a million for sharing, and a special thanks to cinderlily for making you do it.

I have been grinning like a dork ALL MORNING. My coworkers have to think I'm insane. I don't see how they could think otherwise. They are just so happy-making that I want to spread the love as far and wide as possible.

So you're welcome! And thank *you* for reading and sharing the love! That's the best part, after all :)

[cinderlily]

Aww, thanks. I am giddy to take any of the credit for her writing this, but she is the one who did all the awesome. It is a mark of pure pride and joy though for just the mention. :) Now I just have to write as well, cause she spoils me and I want to try and spoil her back. <3

"Wait. Is this...a date?"

Oh, Hodgins, never change. And Hodgins and Wendell are perfect together! I filled with squee right now and it's awesome! :D

[carolinecrane]

Squeefulness is what I was going for. Thanks :)

[carolinecrane]

I could not resist! They are so cute with the fumbling and the awkwardness. Thanks!

OMG love. My day was bookended by Wendell/Hodgins, and it is all the more happier because of it. A little when I woke up this morning and this lovely lovely fic now. :)

[carolinecrane]

Yay! Every day should start and finish with Wendell/Hodgins.

[ruggerdavey]

Haha. Too true.

I think I need to start giving myself at least 10-15 minutes on the computer every morning so I can check LJ. It seems to send me to work in a much happier mood.

[carolinecrane]

That's why I get up at 6:00 every day. I could sleep until 6:30, but getting up half an hour early gives me time for a cup of coffee and half an hour to check e-mail and LJ. It makes me so much more pleasant when I get to work.
