Okay

A drabble I wrote a while ago. I'm not really active in the Bones fandom, so I wasn't inclined to post it… but, here I am.

"Y'know Bones… you're a good partner."
Dr. Brennan, flipping through papers on their latest suspect, paused for a moment and skewed Booth a questioning sideways look. "Okay," she said slowly, her eyebrows furrowing only slightly. Her eyes slid back to the records.
"By partner I mean only partner."
This time she didn't even look up. "Okay Booth."
"So what I'm trying to say – "
She cut him off. "Can I see that," Brennan said – rather than asked – as she reached for the manila folder tucked under Booth's elbow. He complied by shifting his arm.
"– we can't be anything more than that. It could jeopardize our case and more importantly, our team," the man finished.
There was a long, pregnant pause.
"But I never mentioned anythinglike that," she frowned, bemused.
"Well…" Booth began to scratch at his cheek, "I just wanted to, y'know, make things clear. Just incase."
He could've shot himself right on the spot.
"Oh." And then she really didn't have much to say after that. A third 'okay' would have been redundant, she figured.
