Happy Birthday Booth
Disclaimer: I do not own Bones
Brennan sat in their usual spot at Wong Foos anticipating Booth's arrival, today's his birthday and she had the perfect gift. Usually she didn't like to give presents but after everything he has done for her, he deserves it. Brennan tapped her fingers on her glass impatiently. The bell rang; Brennan turned her head to see her partner entering. A smile crept over her lips as she tried to contain her excitement.
"Happy birthday Booth"
"Thanks Bones" he replied in equal enthusiasm, he'd never seen her like this; she's so excited, like a child. Booth relished the moment he probably wouldn't see her like this for a while or ever again, she looked so adorable. Mentally slapping himself he took a seat next to her.
Brennan turned to face Booth, trying to suppress her grin, she handed him an envelope "I hope you like it"
Booth took the envelope and opened it to find a birthday card; he opened the card to find another envelope. He opened this; he couldn't believe it two tickets to Lapland.
"Bones, I don't know what to say" giving her a charm smile.
"You don't have to say anything" she smiled back "the other tickets for Parker" she saw the disappointment wash over her partners face, knowing Rebecca would never allow this "I've arranged with for you to take Parker to Lapland over Christmas. I've sent her to one of those spa places so she won't complain"
Booth wrapped Brennan in a bear hug. He couldn't believe she had got him this; she's the biggest humbug he knows. It was the best gift he could ever ask for "Thank you Temperance, you have no idea how much this means to me"
"It's nothing, after everything you've done for me, it's the least I could do" and I love you but that's beside the point.
Booth and Brennan enjoyed their meal, both taking secret glances at the other, but neither broke their comfortable silence. They conversed and talked about work, soon the time came for them to part, neither willing to leave the other.
"Happy birthday Booth" Brennan kissed him on the cheek, they both committed each others scent and the feeling of each other to memory, she began to pull away when he took her hand in his. They looked into each others eyes, they moved closer until their lips met, Brennan put her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss; Booth circled his arms around her waist closing the gap between them.
When they came up for air they stared into each others eyes and left holding each other with smiles plastered on their faces.
Sid watched the 'partners' and chuckled to himself; Angela was going to wish she hadn't cancelled her dinner reservation.
Hope you enjoyed this little one-off, please let me know if you do!
Infinite Possibilities :)
