Notes; Just something short that I had to get out of my head. Hope you like it. Got inspired by my own sore little back and my auntie. Who told me about some man who did this to her..

Disclaimer; Yeah.. Don't own it obviously. Just the plot.


On one condition.

Seeley Booth let out a small groan as he brought up his hand and rubbed the back of his neck, trying to work out the knots in his muscles. He and his partner had been sitting on the couch in her office since four that afternoon and it was now almost six. They had been going over their case, but after two hours of reading and analysing they had barely made any process. He rolled his shoulders and pulled a small face when he felt the tiny bones in his spine move against each other.

The muscles in his neck and back were completely, totally stuck and no matter how many times he'd roll his shoulders, he knew the knots wouldn't go away unless he took a long, hot shower. A sigh escaped his lips, catching Brennan's attention. She looked up from the file she was currently studying and looked at her partner, her eyebrows raised the slightest bit in curiosity.

''Are you okay?''

''Fine, Bones. Just some sore muscles. What do you say we go grab something to eat, hmm?'' He tossed his own file onto the tiny coffeetable in front of the couch and got to his feet, stretching his arms above his head. She watched him momentarily before getting up as well.

''On one condition.'' He looked at her. He really disliked Angela for getting her into that phrase. Every time he asked her to do something for him she'd say 'on one condition' and that one condition was something he usually didn't like, which was the reason why he was now expecting the worst.

''What..?'' he asked, a tone of suspicion in his voice.

''Turn around.'' She told him, stepping closer to him. Booth lowered his brow and looked at her.

''Huh?'' His partner shook her head and motioned for him to turn around. He didn't know what she was going to do, but he obeyed anyway and turned his back to her. For a moment nothing happened, but then he felt his partner's slender arms encircle his waist and he jumped slightly when he felt her body press against his back.

''Bones..''

''Hold still.'' She told him sternly and readjusted her arms until she could get a hold on her own wrists. Booth glanced down at her hands and suddenly felt her pull her arms up forcefully and briefly. He let out a tiny noise and could his spine straighten, the bones cracking.

''Jeez.'' He gasped slightly for air, trying to recover from the shock while she let go of him and made her way over to the other side of her office to grab her coat.

''Feel better?'' Booth turned to her and ran his hand across the back of his neck. The pain and the discomfort were gone. Just like that.

''Yeah. How did you do that?'' He smirked slightly and picked his jacket up from the couch. Brennan just smiled mysteriously in return and pulled her coat on.

''Thai food?'' She asked and made her way out of the office. Booth just stood there in silence for a couple of seconds, trying to process what she had just said, before he shook his head and quickly followed her. She needed to teach him how to do that. Who knew, maybe one day he could help her if her back was feeling sore.

He definately liked the idea of that.


Done! Review if you like. x
