So this is a fic I thought of that will follow Booth and Brennan through four weddings and a funeral.
She looks happy. Booth thought to himself. She had a glow about her that he himself had never quite been able to bring out in her.
As he watched them stand at the front of the church, speaking words of love to each other, he felt small pangs of jealousy here and there, but mostly he felt sad. Self-pitying. Lonely.
Parker waved at him from where he stood at the front of the church. Booth straightened up in the pew he sat in and wiggled his fingers back at him. Parker was the whole reason he was here, after all. He couldn't catch himself sulking.
"If anyone is opposed to the holy matrimony of Drew and Rebecca, speak now or forever hold your peace." said the priest. Booth was sure he saw Rebecca's eyes flit towards him for a fraction of a second.
He almost laughed. No, he was done interfering. He finally did want her to be happy. He just selfishly wanted himself to be happier.
The ceremony came to a close, and the elated couple walked down the aisle as husband and wife.
Rebecca flashed him a small smile as she walked by him, thanking him with her eyes. For being there. For letting go. For not doing anything stupid.
He smiled and nodded at her. He stood up and stretched, clapping Parker on the back when he skipped over to him. After shaking hands with a few of Rebecca's relatives he'd never much liked, he was ready to leave. He didn't think that he could sit through the reception.
As he turned to leave, a flash of blue caught his eye. Sitting in the corner of the farthest pew was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen.
He walked over to her, a small smile playing on his lips.
"What are you doing here?" he asked, sitting down beside her.
"Supporting you," she said. He chuckled softly and took her hand in his.
"Are you ready to go?" she asked him.
"Actually, we should probably go to the reception," he said. "It's rude to ignore the invitation, after all."
"Oh. I thought you didn't want to go to that," she said.
"Well, I didn't." he flashed her a smile. "But now that I've got the hottest date in D.C. I can't resist."
A look of concentration flitted across her brows for a second as she processed the joke. Then, when she realized that she wasn't being insulted, she laughed a deep throaty laugh and stood up.
Booth rose to his feet and they exited the empty church together.
