A very short Story.
I don't own Bones.
Ooooooooooooooooooooo
His day had been the worst. He had responded to a bank robbery and it didn't end well. The holdup men were dead and so were three of the hostages, a security guard, a teller and a ten year old child. He kept seeing Parker's face on the dead child. He had spent all day at the crime scene and as soon as he could, he had gone home. Before going home, he had called Brennan and asked her to get Hodgins to drive her home. He didn't feel well.
Oooooooooooooooooooo
Arriving home, Brennan had walked into the living room to find Booth sitting on the couch. He was leaning back and he had his eyes closed. Hodgins had heard about what had happened at the bank and had told Brennan about it as soon as he could. Neither of them knew if Booth had been involved in the case; but, as soon as Brennan had seen Booth, she had known he had been.
Walking over to the couch, Brennan sat down next to Booth and put her hand on his left knee. Feeling Brennan's gentle touch, Booth reached out with his left and had took her hand in his, not saying anything.
Looking at Booth, Brennan said, "I wish to run away."
Opening his eyes, Booth slowly turned and looked at Brennan, "What?"
Giving Booth a small smile, Brennan repeated, "I wish to run away."
Shaking his head, Booth said, "Where do you want to go?"
Shrugging her shoulders, Brennan said, "I want to pack an overnight bag, get into your SUV and start traveling west. I wish to stop when the sun goes down. That is where I want to go."
Puzzled, Booth said, "What do you want to do when we get there?"
Looking at Booth very intently, Brennan said, "I want to watch the sun go down and the moon to rise. I want to see the next day's sun come up and I want to do all of those things with you."
Smiling, Booth said, "Why can't we do that here?"
Smiling back, Brennan said, "I want to see the end of this terrible day and the start of a new day in a place that is new to both of us, a place that holds no sadness for either you or me. I wish to start a new day in a new place with someone that I love and who deserves to start his new day in a place that can only mean happiness. Is that too sentimental?"
Leaning over, Booth kissed Brennan and said, "I love you, Bones. I love you and I know you mean well; but, tomorrow is just a Tuesday. I can 't just take off."
Smiling, Brennan said, "You can if I call Cullen and I tell him that you're sick. We'll play hooky. I haven't done that since high school. Yes, I see that you're shocked that I would do such a thing; but, sometimes even I had enough. Today, you've had enough. I want to play hooky tomorrow and I want you to do it with me. Please Booth. Won't you do that for me?"
Nodding his head, Booth said, "I would do anything for you Bones, you know that. Pack your bag and tomorrow we're going to take a day to be happy. We aren't going to do anything else. We're just going to be happy."
