Summary: Just a series of fan fics about our favorite duo. Set at any time that I indicate. As the title says, lots of domesticity going on here. I get a vision of something domestic between B&B and I make that happen to the best of my Sophomore ability. Mostly all romantic. Starts off in Season 6 finale. Please enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Bones, the characters, or the science within the show. But these fan fics and ideas are mine, so no touchy.
Week 1
Takes place one week after Season 6 Finale
"Alright Bones. We've got chips, cheese, bread, Oreos, eggs, pickles, brownie mix, a head of lettuce, banana's, apples, tomatoes, soda, noodles and spaghetti sauce." Booth went through the items in the cart, his partner a few feet away. "Are we missing anything?"
"Booth, is it cheaper to buy Folgers? These other brands look promising but their so called 'un-caffeinated' is rather questionable with how much they want for it." Brennan said, having not been paying attention to Booth's list. She turned to him, a cylinder of Folgers in one hand, a bag of a different name brand in the other, a confused look on her face. Eyebrows scrunched.
He took a moment to look her over. She was wearing her long white trench coat with a blue scarf hanging on her shoulders under the collar. Her brown hair stood out nicely and her long bangs were now pushed to the side of her face. She wore jeans and a gray and white shirt. Again, she looked at him, expecting an answer.
"You know what," he grabbed the cylinder. "Let's just get the Folgers and we'll ask Angela what she bought, okay? I need my coffee in the mornings, too, and I refuse to drink decaf."
"But Booth, I have to drink decaf. It's not fair that only you get coffee." She said disappointedly as he tossed the cylinder into the basket.
"Bones, we can get two kinds. It's not a big deal."
"Yes, but one will cost more than the other," she explained, following him down the isle. Moving to his side she took his arm, somewhat out of habit. "I don't want you paying for two if one of them is a necessity for me."
He smiled. "We already talked about this. We'll both pay for half. Half the groceries, half the tab." He looked at her, finding her looking ahead. "Hey," brilliant blue eyes met his brown. "It's fine. I don't want you stressing over anything, okay? Especially something as simple as buying groceries." He nodded at her.
She quirked a smile and nodded back.
They made for the cash register in silence. Booth was loading the conveyer belt when Brennan exclaimed, "Oh, Booth!"
He stepped over to where she was, bent over and looking into a mini freezer. She pointed. "I didn't know they made Starbucks Coffees to be sold in stores."
He smiled. "Yeah, they're espressos. You want one?"
"Are they any good?"
"They're not as good as getting one from Starbucks itself in my opinion, but it's worth the buck ninety. Do you want one?"
"Yes please." She stepped aside as he opened the door.
"Alright, there's Coffe, Vanilla, Mocha, and Dark Chocolate. Which d'you want?"
"Mm, just plain coffee sounds good."
He grabbed one and waved it at her tauntingly, adding it to their collection of goods already set for checking out.
The cold waft of air from the fridge shook her and she pulled her coat tighter around herself. Then took Booth's arm again as they waited in line.
"Oh, I almost forgot," Reaching into her coat pocket, she pulled out a ten and a five. "Half. As promised."
"It's not all going to equal thirty, Bones. There were sales." He took the money from her anyway.
Brennan shrugged. "Then just take the ten. Save the five for gas."
"I'm not taking your money for gas." He warned.
"Wh- why not?"
Because. That's not part of our deal. We go halfsies on groceries and the tab. That's it." He swiped his free arm in the air for emphasis.
"But we always take your car. The least I could do is chip in once in a while."
"Hey-hey! Look at that, we're next!" Booth said as they moved up. He smiled at her knowingly and she gave him that 'Oh you' look. But her face gave away that she was truly amused.
Uh oh! Didn't they just get through discussing decaf? Don't worry, that'll get resolved. First fight? I think so!
So my plan for this – since I have, like, forty of these short stories (no seriously, forty, and some of them are long, too) – is to have them all up at one point so you can basically just choose any story at any point and read it. They're all pretty standalone domestic stories except for the ones with the same titles. For example, the next chapter will be called Week 1 Part Two, so you'd obviously know to go to Week 1 first, etc., etc.
Anywho! If you made it to the end of this one, thanks! I promise this is not my best work. I have so many of these wasting away on my phone, so I'm fixing them up and officially putting them on the site. I'll probably post two or three of these a day.
