A/N: My alternate ending to The Girl with the Curl. In fact it was the real ending to this episode, but if they aired it then the show would have ended and that wouldn't be a good thing. Pure Booth/Brennan fluff. Enjoy!

Stale Doughnuts and Thai

Sighing, Brennan tried to hide the disappointment from her face. She knew exactly what Booth's appointment was, rather whom the appointment was with.

"So, I'll see you tomorrow."

He hesitated for a moment as if he was debating whether or not to leave.

"No, you know, you have all the paperwork from the case right?"

"No, I was going stay to do it anyway, so…"

Holding up his hand, Booth stopped her mid-sentence.

"Nah, no, you know, it's our case. I want to help."

She shook her head.

"You don't have to Booth."

Her eyes betrayed her words.

"Bones, just drop it, okay," he said, before adding. "I'm here to help."

She smiled slightly. He wanted to stay with her instead of Dr. Saroyan, but she couldn't help just to make sure. Chalk it up to being thorough, too thorough.

"Well, what about your appointment?"

This time he didn't hesitate.

"It's, you know, it's no big deal," he shrugged his shoulders. "I'll tell you what, how about I order some take out and ditch these doughnuts?"

Propping his arms on the small table between them, Booth leaned forward and stared directly at his partner.

"Sure," she replied.

She grinned as they read each other's thoughts.

"Thai food," they both said simultaneously.

Brennan could make out every hard line on his face from the countless cases that they've worked on together. Make out. Hard line. Dirty thoughts. He was just too damn close. Her mind was screaming at her to just look away or say something witty, but his eyes froze her in place. No, that wasn't all true. Her mind was also screaming to just close the gap between them and kiss Booth senseless. More dirty thoughts, said thoughts involving the impeccably well-structured Seeley Booth. My God, she has been spending way too much time with Angela. Before she could properly put together a coherent sentence, Booth stood back.

"And I'm going to order more…"

He didn't get a chance to finish his sentence. Brennan stood up and in one quick motion, cupped Booth's face in her hands and pressed her lips against his. As the kiss intensified, her hands slowly made their way down to his collar, which she gripped onto for dear life. When they broke apart, Brennan kept her eyes closed a minute longer, trying to steady her racing pulse.

"So, uh, what were saying?" she asked, innocently.

"You ate it all last time."

Her eyes widened in shock at the accusatory tone in his voice.

"Hey, I thought you were finish," she protested. "Besides…"

Laughing at Brennan's one eighty mood swing, Booth pulled her against his body so that their noses were barely touching one another's.

"Shut up, Bones."

With that, Booth recaptured his partner's lips with his. Thai food could wait.

Fin for now
