Sober Night
They had been drinking for some hours now, to celebrate the conclusion of what seemed to be the biggest case they ever worked. They had, finally, caught Gormagon, and what a better time to celebrate than this, when the lab was silent, with no living soul in sight? Only two persons still lingered, in a very cosy, dim lighted office.
Laughter filled the air, and a cheerful mood stood between the two partners. Two empty bottles of vodka lay carefree between them, as they sat lazily on the sofa.
The mood inside was heating as the drunken conversations boiled to higher levels of intimacy. He suddenly grabbed her hand, easily pushed her to her feet and through the lab until they reached outside, all the while hearing her faint protests, and stumbling over one another raising a fit of giggles from both.
Fresh air was a blessing against their flushed faces and they soon started to move in a slow pace through the gardens, finding a soft spot on the grass to seat. A comfortable silence surrounded them as their gaze stood fixed in the millions of starts that shone in the velvet black sky. It was a beautiful summer night.
His inebriated eyes came to rest upon her turned upright face, and studied the soft features of his partner for a while.
"Bones, do you like being my partner?" He asked with an inch of anxiety in his voice, all of the sudden.
"Of course I do! I wouldn't want anyone other than you. " Her voice came fast and higher than usual. She turned her head and looked at his eyes closely, immediatly feeling slightly light headed.
"Why?" Came his voice, barely over a whisper as he inched his head towards hers until their foreheads touched.
"Silly, Seeley, silly… because I love you." She bluntly said as a matter of fact, her blue eyes drunkenly dancing all over his face, a wide smile upon her lips.
Then, moving away, she let her back lay against the fresh grass with her eyes searching for the depths of the sky above. The statement made him speechless, and suddenly all the alcohol seemed to vanish from his veins, leaving him only with his sober eyes on her.
A wide smile spread over his face, enlightening his eyes. A smile that matched hers in perfection. She started to laugh softly, a sound so rare, and he couldn't help but let himself chuckle at the contagious melody of his partner.
They were helplessly drunk, with a very promising hell of a hang over in the morning, he just hoped that, tomorrow, both would still remember this night.
I hope you liked this, Bones quite drunk to finally admit she loves Booth. Completly OOC, I know, and yet I like it! Reviews are always appreciated!
