It was a Friday night like any other. Booth and Brennan had just solved a case involving the death of a 10 year old boy called Tristan. This case affected the team greatly and after finding Tristan's killer, they all just wanted to go home and relax.
Booth was particularly over the edge about the case. The whole time they were working the case, Booth couldn't help but to wonder… What if that was Parker instead? What would he do? Tristan had brown hair and eyes like Parker's. In fact, they did look strangely alike.
"Booth?", Brennan questioned while snapping her fingers in front of his face at the same time. "Booth, are you alright?" Brennan had agreed to let Booth sleep at her house before catching their 20 hour flight to Singapore for Brennan's conference about Forensic Anthropology in general. Surely, Booth wouldn't let her travel to the other side of the world alone.
"What? Oh… I'm sorry Bones. I was… uh… just thinking…", said Booth, who was surprised that he actually managed to reply her.
"You were thinking about the case, weren't you?" Brennan said sympathetically. Her eyes were like bright blue crystals. Booth could tell that she'd been crying too. The case really took a toll on her too. 'God, she's breathtakingly beautiful', Booth thought to himself. He had to control his urge to say it out loud because he'd probably get sucker punched by Brennan if he did.
Booth nodded, after taking a sip of his cold beer. Not a word needed to be said as his eyes mirrored Brennan's. Both filled with unshed tears.
"I understand Booth. It took a toll on all of us. I don't know if I should tell you this… but Tristan did remind me a lot of Parker. I'm just relieved that it wasn't, you know?" Brennan said honestly as usual. Booth loved this fact about her. He was the only person who seemed to understand her the best.
"Bones. Let's just forget about it alright? What's done is done. What we can do is just hope that Tristan rests in peace." Booth sighed and did the sign of the cross.
Suddenly, Brennan sprang from the couch. "Oh my! Booth! It's almost 3am! I didn't know we were up for that long. Alright, we've got to head to bed now. We've got a long flight tomorrow. I'm excited to learn about the Singaporean heritage while we're there and do some sightseeing."
None of them realized that they had both just made their way to Brennan's bedroom. None of them seemed to bother as it was already in fact 3am and they were both as tired as hell.
"Booth, are you seriously going to sleep in your suit? We're both adults Booth and I wouldn't mind if you wore less. Sleeping in a suit must be uncomfortable." Brennan said as she came out of her bathroom dressed in an oversized purple cotton shirt and shorts. "Booth? Hello? Earth to Booth?"
Booth didn't mean to stare but wow. She looked amazing for someone who's about to head to bed. Something about her clothes and the fact that she had no makeup on made her seem really domestic. He liked it.
Finally, Booth forced his eyes from gazing upon her body and looked in her eyes. Her wonderful, gorgeous, amazing blue eyes. "Uh… yeah Bones. Okay.", He finally croaked out. Without hesitation, Booth stripped in front of Brennan into just his boxers and climbed into the right side of her bed. "Coming Bones? Or do I have to carry you here?", he said as he saw that her feet seemed to be planted on the ground after checking Booth out.
"Um… yeah Booth. I'm coming." Brennan said while Booth gave her his cocky smile. "I must say… you are appeasing to look at. Oh well… Goodnight Booth." They both switched off the lamps on the two bedside tables and whispered "Goodnight".
