This is going to be a series of drabbles that I'm writing to overcome writers block. I'm not sure how often I'll update but I'll try to make it as often as possible.

I am considering extending the first two to fics of their own but atm my muse has gone on holiday ;)

Disclaimer; If I owned them, do you think I would spend all my free time writing fluffy smut? No my dead friends, I would be WATCHING fluffy smut.

Her head hung down, staring intently a the table in front of her as he strolled into the bar and took a seat in the booth next to her, a gesture that didn't go unnoticed by the young anthropologist.

"Angela said I'd find you here," He spoke quietly, more to himself as his eyes scanned the room appreciatively. She said nothing as she quickly downed another glass of Cider.

"I don't think that's a good idea," He warned, taking the empty glass away from her and pushing it to the other side of the table. She glared at him, flagged down a waiter and ordered another.

"We should get out of here," he muttered as he stood up, pulling her with him and escorting her by her elbow out of the bar.

It was only when they were inside the SUV that she spoke,

"It's my fault."

"No, Bones, it's not your fault. It's his fault."

"I killed someone Booth. An innocent person." She said weakly, turning to look at him with tears in her eyes and anguish written on her features. The only time he's seen her without that damn mask and she was crying, big salty tears that slid down her cheeks as she looked down at them, apparently surprised. He immediately pulled her to him, hugging her tightly as he ran comforting circles across her back.

"Booth?" She asked quietly, pulling back slightly, "I don't want to be alone"

"Stay at my place tonight."

"Are you sure? I don't want to intrude."

"Of course I'm sure Bones. We're partners." He said gently, releasing his embrace and starting the car, but keeping his hand over hers, offering her a small amount of comfort for her troubled times.
