What's so special about bloody ice-skaters?
AN-this takes place during that one episode where Booth is Bones' bodyguard...when they listen to Foreigner...I have no idea what it's called. Anyway, same as that except Bones has a TV in this one. Enjoy, my peepsoles!
"Come on, Bones, there has to be something you'll watch!"
"Well, Booth, as I'm sure you've realized, I don't watch television."
The two partners were standing in the middle of Bones' living room, struggling as always to come to a decision. Booth paused for a moment, then suggested, "How about hockey?"
"What?" she said, thinking she had misheard him.
"Yeah, Bones, we could watch hockey! There's a Boston-Calgary game tonight, I think it's on now." Booth reached for the remote. "Sit down!" he instructed enthusiastically.
Bones moved towards the couch slowly. Having never watched hockey, she knew about it only what Booth had told her.
Once the game had started, all she could see was a brutally violent game of men beating each other up with wooden sticks. "What is this?" she said, unaware that she was speaking aloud.
"It's hockey, Bones. You mean the blood? I thought you were the bone girl!" Booth teased.
"Not that, necessarily, but the violence. It's simply a primitive display of bloody fighting instincts, on ice. What's so special about bloody ice-skaters?"
"Everything, Bones! The violence makes it interesting!" He wasn't exactly yelling, but he was getting rather defensive.
"Okay, I never said you couldn't like it. I don't is all."
Booth sighed exasperatedly. "You know, we don't have to watch this," he said almost tauntingly.
"What do you mean?" asked Bones, completely confused.
"Well, I mean there are other things to do. This, for example." he stated simply, and before she could speak, his lips pressed against hers. She knew she should be mad, or at the very least startled, but she wasn't. She didn't even move.
When he finally pulled away, she smiled. "Nice alternative," she said simply, then leaned back towards him.
Suddenly, hockey didn't seem so bad anymore.
AN- hockey fans: my apologies for the Bones-talk about hockey, I don't love hockey but I don't feel that way about it either. I'm getting too good at talking like Bones.
