Bones fanfic
Booth stretched out on the sofa and lay his feet in Brennan’s lab.
“Hey,” she protested and tried to push them off but he held his feet stubbornly in place. “Booth, take your feet off,” she said and started to tickle him.
Now Booth was the one who protested. “Bones, stop it,” he said laughing and pulled his feet back to him. Brennan grinned.
“See? What was the problem?” she asked and grinned triumphantly.
“Now come here to me,” Booth said and smiled. Brennan smiled as well as she crawled over to Booth and into his arms. He hugged her close and pressed a kiss on top of her head.
“I’m glad to have you,” he whispered as he pulled her closer to his body. She snuggled up to his chest. “Me too,” Brennan whispered, “Me too.”
Booth ran one hand up and down her back and the other through her hair. From time to time he placed a kiss on her forehead. Brennan’s eyes were closed and she had a content smile on her lips. Booth smiled at the sight before him.
“I’m so glad to have you. I love you, Temperance,” he whispered again. “I didn’t think that one day we would be here together. You could be a pain in the ass when we first met. I thought you would never like me, let alone love me. But then you started to trust me and I begun to have fall in love with you although I would have never admitted it at that time. I thought that I didn’t have a chance.”
Brennan’s even breathing told him that she was slowly drifting off to sleep but nevertheless he kept talking because he knew that she liked hearing his voice when she was slowly falling asleep.
“I know I haven’t been an easy person either. I was so pissed that my boss forced me to work with a squint. I didn’t want someone on my team who I am supposed to protect. After a while it was not the 'must' that led me to protect you, no, I started to want to protect you; because it would have killed me if something had happened to you.”
Booth’s whisper became more and more quiet. By the time he finished, it was barely audible. He pressed a light kiss on top of Brennan’s head, picked her up and carried her into the bedroom. He knew she had drifted off to sleep a long time ago.
