A/N This is just a little fluff. It doesn't take place in any specific timeline of the show. This just came to me. I thought it was cute! :)
"Hello?" I said into the phone, voice dripping with sleep. I hadn't even checked the caller ID. It was one in the morning, for heaven's sake!
"Bones? Do you have power?" It was Booth, figures.
"Yes, of course. Why did you lose it?"
"Yah, the blizzard knocked it out."
"Would you like to come over, I have heat."
"Really, Bones? I can?"
"Wasn't that your intention? You were just calling to be polite?"
"Yah." He was ashamed to be known so well.
"You'll have to take my bed though. My dad and Russ are over." I remembered suddenly.
"No, I'll sleep on the floor," He said stubbornly.
"Booth! Your back!"
"Doesn't matter." I really did not want to bicker at this hour of the morning.
"Are you coming over or not?"
"Yah, be there in 10."
"Ok, see you then. Don't take the elevator in my building in case the power goes out!" I offered.
"Ok, thanks, Bones."
I got up to go let Booth in 10 minutes later. He was holding an overnight bag and a goofy grin was plastered on his face. I welcomed him in and took his bag. I led him to my bedroom and tuned on the lamplight so I could see where I was going. I dropped the bag on the floor and went and fluffed up his pillows. I had changed the sheets just for him. As I was about to reach the bed, the light clicked off.
"Booth? Did you do that?"
"Nope, Bones. Looks like your power is off too. Now you have to sleep in the bed with me!" He smiled.
"Why?"
"It'll be cold on the floor."
I shot him a look. "Whatever. Wait here while I go and give my dad and brother more blankets." After the task of covering my dad and Russ with two blanket apiece, I made my way back to my room and found Booth sitting on the bed.
"Comfortable?" I asked him.
"Of course." He patted the bed next to him like this was his house. I got in next to him and pulled up the covers so they were up to his chin. I then scooted away and turned around.
"Bones, if you want to be warm, you gotta come closer." As he said it, he pulled me against his chest and against my will, I snuggled into him. "That's it. Are you warmer now, Bones?"
"Mmm-hmm." I was slowly drifting off to sleep. Booth chuckled as he felt me snuggle in closer.
"TEMPERANCE BRENNAN!" I woke the sound of someone screaming my name.
"Mmmm?" I didn't open my eyes right away, but when I did, my dad was peering down at me.
"I wake up to a freezing apartment and go in search of my daughter and where do I find her?" I didn't answer. "I find her in the arms of Seely Booth. In her bed, I might add."
"Dad, we're fully clothed," I said trying to make him understand.
"What's going on?" Russ had entered my bedroom and Booth had finally opened his eyes. He seemed unfazed by the fact that we were curled up together and a crowd was watching.
"Well isn't it a party in here?" Booth said.
"Booth? I was under the impression that we were only talking. I don't have food, colored lights, or an air of frivolity. This isn't a party."
"Just an expression, Bones."
"What are you doing here, Booth?" My dad thundered, but I knew that he was happy that we were together.
"My power was out and Bones had heat. I came over to share the heat, but her power went out as soon as I got here." I was acutely aware of the fact that I hadn't moved from Booth's chest the whole while that my dad and brother were all in my room.
"Oh, ok." Russ seemed not to care so he left my room. My dad stayed a few more minutes before he smiled and walked away.
"Well, that was eventful." I said and snuggled even deeper into Booth's chest. He laughed and wrapped his arms around me.
"I hope the power never comes back on," Booth said.
"Me neither." With that, we both fell back asleep in each other's arms. I could almost hear Angela's squeal.
:) Hope you all liked it!
