Prologue- Surprise!
"Booth, I think we should start dating," Bones said one day on their way to a crime scene.
"Whoa, Bones, back up! We should WHAT???" He was having a hard time keeping the SUV on the road. Just two minutes ago, he had been driving along, thinking about his plans with Parker for the weekend, when Bones decided to drop this bombshell on his head.
"Start dating Booth, didn't you hear me?" Brennan asked, looking slightly confused. "I am positive I spoke loud enough for you to hear me, even if you were distracted."
"Of course I heard you, Bones. I'm just a little confused about why you decided to propose this, um, idea," Booth replied, his mind still reeling in shock.
"Well, Booth, it is the next logical step in our relationship. We have formulated a purely platonic relationship with each other over the past two years. However, I am beginning to discover attractions to you that I have previously suppressed," Brennan explained.
Booth couldn't believe his ears. He was so happy, but at the same time, so confused. He noticed that his hands were shaking, so he pulled into a deserted parking lot before he caused an accident.
"Booth, why did you stop? We aren't at the crime scene yet," Bones pointed out.
Booth unbuckled his seatbelt and turned to face her, saying, "I know where we are, Bones. Just give me a minute here, I need to process this."
"Well, do you agree?" Brennan asked, "I know you have your line, but I thought maybe if-" she was cut off when Booth's face suddenly appeared, inches from her own.
"Shh," he said, "Screw the line." And with that definitive statement, he kissed her.
