A/N: This is a songfic to All We'd Ever Need by: Lady Antebellum. I was listening to it the other day and it totally sruck me as a perfect B&B song, hense why I wrote this songfic. I would recommend listening to the song, but it's not necessary. I know it's a little (well kind of a lot0 out of character at the end, but it's because the song was ending and I thought it was a nice way to wrap it up(: ENJOY!
Disclaimer: Bones is on my Christmas list, but as of now I don't own it or Lady Antebellum's son All We'd Ever Need (Kind of depressing isn't it?).
Boy it's been all this time
And I can't get you off my mind
And nobody knows it but me
Brennan sat on her couch late at night thinking. Thinking about Booth. She couldn't remember how long it had been since Booth had constantly been popping into her head, but it hadn't stopped. She kept it to herself though, trying to work it out logically and rationally.
I stare at your photograph
Still sleep in the shirt you left
And nobody knows it but me
Brennan glanced at the framed picture of her and Booth. She loved being able to always see his smiling face so close next to hers. She pulled her favorite pajamas: a shirt of Booth's he had left a while back. She breathed in his familiar scent and in the oversized shirt she felt safe, protected, and it just felt right. It was her little secret.
Everyday I wipe my tears away
So many nights I've prayed for you to stay
She sat on her bed and tears trickled down her porcelain cheeks. This happened too often, no matter how irrational it was. She cuddled into Booth's shirt silently hoping, wishing, he felt the same was about her as she did about him. Hoping he would make the first move and say something, anything.
I should've been chasing you
I should've been trying to prove
That you were all that mattered to me
She regretted so much. She should have been more open about her feelings. She should have gone after him instead of waiting for him to go after her. She regretted the fact that she never even tried to show him how much she cared about him, that she cared about him more than anyone else in the world.
I should've said all the things
That I kept inside of me
She thought about all the things she kept inside; all those times she wanted to tell him how absolutely handsome he looked, how he was the most caring person she'd ever known, how he was a wonderful father, how he was the best partner anyone could have asked for, how much he's changed her, and how much she loves him.
And maybe I could've made you believe
That what we had was all we'd ever need
She thought maybe if she told him all those things then, despite how in the past she insisted that love was just a chemical reaction, he would believe that she truly did love him with all her heart. She wanted him to believe they were perfect together the way they were, and it was enough to make them happy.
My friends think I'm moving on
But the truth is I'm not that strong
And nobody knows it but me
Booth sat in his apartment with a beer, just thinking. All of his friends figured he'd given up on Brennan, but the truth was that he could never stop loving her, no matter how hard he tried. No one really knew how he truly felt, how much he loved her. He couldn't move on.
And I've kept all the words you said
In a box underneath my bed
And nobody knows it but me
He could remember all her words in that beautiful voice, and kept them in a safe place in his heart. He kept all the newspaper clippings and pictures of them, but nobody knew he had them and treasured them so much.
But if you're happy I'll get through somehow
But the truth is that I've been screaming out
Booth knew that as long as Brennan was happy he could stay just partners if she didn't feel the same way. Her happiness was more important. Still, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get rid of his feelings. He just wanted to let it all out.
I should've been chasing you
I should've been trying to prove
That you were all that mattered to me
He knew how should have gone after her. He should have tried harder to show her even more how much he cared about her. He wanted her to know that she mattered the most in his life and he cared about her deeply.
I should've said all the things
That I kept inside of me
And maybe I could've made you believe
That what we had was all we'd ever need
He wished he had told her everything he kept to himself. He wanted to tell her how beautiful she was, how caring, how he thought it was cute when she was rational, how she was by far his favorite squint, and how much he loved her. He thought that maybe if he would have said all those things, she could ignore her rational side and believe it. They had all needed to be happy. He had to let it out. He got into his car and started driving.
I should've been chasing you
Booth knocked on Brennan's door, determined to tell her how he felt. He couldn't hold it in anymore.
You should've been trying to prove
That you were all that mattered to me
"Bones," Booth looked concerned when she answered the door, "Why are you crying? I hate to see you cry." His hand caressed her cheek and his thumb wiped away her tears. She fell into him for a hug.
Oh you should've said all the things
That I kept inside of me
"Booth," Brennan sniffled, "I have to tell you something. I know it's irrational and you probably don't feel the same way, but I have to tell you."
"Bones I have to tell you something too, but let me go first ok?" Brennan nodded into his chest and looked up and their eyes met.
And you could've made me believe
That what we had girl
Oh that what we had, what we had
"Bones, you don't have to say anything, but I have to tell you. I can't keep it bottled up. I know we aren't compatible, and I know if you felt the same way I would know, but-"
"Booth," Brennan smiled nervously, "What is it?"
Booth sighed deeply. "I love you Bones." Brennan froze. She was shocked. Booth quickly said, "Well I'm sorry Bones. I guess…. I guess I'll just leave now." Booth turned to leave when Brennan grabbed his arm and turned him to face her. Her lips crashed against his. She wrapped her arms around his neck and Booth held her close. When they broke the kiss, Brennan smiled, "I love you too Booth. I thought you would never feel the same way. I now it's very irrational and-"Booth cut her off with a passionate kiss.
It was all we'd ever need
