S01E03 – A Boy in a Tree
Author Notes: This is my fifth story in less than a month. Wow. But I wouldn't get accustomed to my fast writing skills; on Monday, I'm back on the clock. That means less time to write. (Insert sad face). But I won't let you people hanging: I promise to try and put at least a chapter each week (If I can't I'll put a little author notes explaining why I couldn't.).
This is set after S01E02 – The Man in the SUV and after The Friends in the Park.
Thank you for reading my head canon. By the way, I love reading reviews (*Very Subtle Hint*).
I'd also like to thank (Yes, once again.) my fan gallery: crazylove1980, Fern Rose, star1the2friend and Excalisnake. Whenever I read a review from you guys I get a smile from ear to ear. ;)
Disclaimer: I do not own Bones or any of the characters (Can you people imagine if I did?).
Introduction
In which Angela is "told" about Zack and Booth's relationship.
Special Agent Seeley Booth's car on route to the Jeffersonian
Washington D.C.
"I had a great time with Parker. He reminds me of you."
"I'm glad you two had fun. But I knew that was going to happen."
"Oh, really?" – Zack said in a sarcastic tone of voice.
"Yes, really. Parker is a great kid who likes to play. You are a great guy who likes to play. Ergo-"
"Did you just use 'ergo' in a sentence? Have I brought you to the squint side of the Force?"
"Never!" – Booth said in a mocking tone. - "I'll always be in the FBI side of the Force."
"Speaking about them, can you get me my gun back? It was a birthday gift. On a different note, how will they behave after knowing that we're together?"
"Most of them will be cool but some of them will behave like jerks. The usual. I'll see what I can do about your gun."
"Thank you, Seeley."- Booth kissed his boyfriend. – "That reminds me; we still have to tell two people at the lab."
"Angela and…"
"Dr. Goodman." – Zack shivered at the very thought of telling his boss. – "We'll tell him, but I was thinking of 'telling' Angela."
Special Agent Seeley Booth smiled as his lover made little quotation marks at the word 'telling'.
"She'll start clapping her hands in happiness."
"It wouldn't be Angela if she didn't react like that."
"True."
They arrived at their destination and the squint got off the car.
"Don't I get a goodbye kiss?"
"No." – Booth looked sad and a tiny bit surprised – "You get a see you later kiss."
Zack kissed the man in the car. The kiss dripped with desire and promises of 'later…' . Seeley was left speechless in his car while his lover walked up the steps leading to the medico-legal lab.
Medical-Legal Lab
Jeffersonian Institute
Booth was called about a homicide halfway to the FBI. He made his way back to the Jeffersonian but all he could think about was that last kiss. He had already called Bones and she was waiting outside.
"Bones, where's Zack?"
"Your boyfriend is talking to his ex." – She pointed at the building.
He stated to go up the stairs -"What?"
Booth arrived and saw his Zack talking to a blonde-haired woman. Angela and Hodgins were close by, discussing the ex (if the FBI agent didn't have a better-than-human hearing he would've missed it):
"Hodgins, who's that with Zack?"
"Naomi from Paleontology. She and Zack broke up about four months ago, and now she wants him back. But he's saying he has someone else."
They went off talking about what they were working on and Seeley approached Zack and Naomi.
"C'mon Zack, I know you miss me. You don't need to play hard to get."
"Naomi, I'm not playing hard to get. I really have someone. Someone that loves me."
"Don't lie. You're interested in me, I know."
"I'm not interested in you-"
Booth stepped in front of Zack and started kissing his squint with the same desire of their kiss. Zack deepened the kiss and added need and lust to the feelings incased in it. Then, with lips slightly swollen and eyes darkened by the feelings, the squint turned to his ex and said:
"Told you I had someone."
Booth had his lover in his arms and they were almost out of the building when they heard Angela:
"Oh. My! God!"
Zack turned to Seeley, with fear coloring their expressions:
"Run for it?"
Booth nodded and said:
"Run for it."
