Bonjour mes amis! I'm back, I decided that I should start again cause I've missed it after my copious studying hours after my exams which took way to long to get to my door! But they finally got in :D yey 3 ones, three 2's and 2 A's :) Haha all that work finally paid off! Anywho...New Fic Yey! Basically what the summary says but I obviously suck at writing them, Brennan has a new bf who asks her to move in with him but unknown to Brennan he plans on them leaving DC. Booth on the other hand realises tht he is too late...Or is he? Can I also ask, where about do you think they could move to, cause I don't really know America very well so opinions would be helpful :D Thanks and enjoy :)

Booth sat waiting impatiently in Brennan's office, hoping she had found any compelling evidence, after swatting him away from the platform for hovering over her. He looked up at the platform, watching her unstoppable concentration as she stared at the set of milky remains infront of her. She stepped away and spun on her heel, trotting down the steps and flashing a stunning smile to the person strolling towards her. The next moment he saw the woman he adored in the arms of another man who stared at her with an equal amount of passion that was regularly shown by himself. As the pair walked, hand in hand, across to her office Booth grabbed the case file on her desk and began to read it.
"Hey Booth." Brennan smiled.
"Hi." He said quietly.
"Booth." Aaron said boldly.
"Aaron." Booth scowled as her turned away.
Aaron Semple, a man who Booth both loathed and was jealous of. Most of Booth's duties were now taken care of, like driving Brennan to and from crime scenes, taking out to lunch and saving her life. He felt as though there would be no more chances like that. No more taking out the bad guys with her, no more taking bullets for her. He felt needed and depended on but those days were long gone. He spent half his time waiting for his phone to ring, pleading with the caller ID for Brennan to appear on the tiny screen. It hardly ever did.
"Find anything Bones?" Booth asked quietly.
"Nothing out of the ordinary, not enough to lead us to the killer yet. Blunt force trauma, two broken ribs and a broken clavicle, we're just waiting on Hodgins with the soil analysis." She explained.
"Okay, uhm I'm gonna go for a walk, call me if you find anything." He smiled faintly and exited the room.
His walk wasn't far though across the lab in fact, visiting Angela was the highlight of his day, finding someone who he could talk to. He strolled in at his usual time and collapsed onto the couch in a very well rehersed manner. Angela looked up from her clipboard alarmed, looking over at the man lying on her couch. "Booth you could to this in your sleep, he there again?" She asked quielty, setting herself down on the corner.
"Yup, as per usual, with that pretentious look plastered across his face, taunting me." Booth enlightened her for the one hundredth time.
"I know u've told me, Seeley I'm really sorry, I should have forced you two together a long time ago." She apologised.
"It's okay Ange, she would have in a million years. Just my luck." He smiled feebly.
"Booth, she doesn't a good guy when she sees one, I mean you took a bullet for her for god's sake. You have been through so much together and she barely bats an eyelid when she sees you." She paused. "You are an amazing person Booth and you deserve to have someone who loves you." She stopped.
"I keep telling myself that Ange, I took a bullet for her, I could have died. And that means alot, thanks." He nodded gratefully. "Anyway, I better go, thanks again Ange." He smiled, rising from the couch.
"Wait Booth." She stopped him, pulling him in for a hug. "She'll wake up and smell the FBI coffee, believe me." She smiled.
Just as she had finished talking the door swung open and Brennan stepped in with the case file clutched in her hand. Her eyes were wide and she stopped dead.
"Ohh hey Booth, I thought you left." She piped up.
"Bones, uhm no I just came to have my little daily chat with Ange. You find anything yet?" Booth asked pulling away from Angela.
"You have a daily chat with Angela?" She asked surprisedly, a small glance of hurt flashed across her face.
"Well yeah, you find anything?" He answered, skipping past her question.
She paused for a moment. "No, I just wanted to talk to Ange but I'll come back later."
"No Bones its okay I was just leaving anyway. See ya later Bones, Thank you Angela." He quickly disappeared.

That evening Booth crawled into his apartment, clumsily searching for the light switch. He tossed his jacket over the couch and headed straight for bed, loosening his tie and discarding it on the floor as he approached his room. He kicked off his shoes, drunkenly removed his clothes, leaving him in nothing but his boxers. He clambered into bed, throwing the covers over his head. Before his eyes could be engulfed by darkness his phone began ringing incessantly beside him, he removed the covers from his head and stretched over grabbed it. He looked at the caller ID and got his wish.
"Booth." He answered sleepily.
"Hey its me." Brennan announced.
"Hey Bones whats up?" He asked lazily.
"I just - I wanted to know how you are - We haven't really been Brennan and Booth lately, I just wanted to know if your okay." She asked, the worry evident in her voice.
"I'm fine - I'm just really tired these days - and I know, we've been quite distant. I don't want that." He revealed.
"Me neither, look I better go but I'm glad your okay. You want to have lunch at the diner tomorrow?" She asked hopefully.
"Yeah that would be good, their pie sales must be at rock bottom." He chuckled.
"Must be, I'm gonna go but I'll see you tomorrow Booth." she said.
"Bye Bones." He smiled and he clicked his phone shut.
Their first real conversation in weeks, their first lunch together without Aaron interrupting in a month. He took a deep breath, setting his phone beside his bed and tossing the covers over his head for a good nights sleep.
