It was one of those moments like they had shared many times before where his brown eyes would search hers, hoping praying even, that her blue pools would show that emotion that had been written with stone so deeply into his own heart. It been a long case and as usually they were celebrating at there usual diner. Maybe it was the alcohol talking or maybe she had finally given in but Booth could've sworn he saw love in those eyes. This observation gave his body the permission to do what he did next. Booth lifted Brennan's chin softly with his thumb and leaned forward to kiss her ever so lightly on her luscious lips.

Brennan saw this whole thing coming, that familiar look in his eye that comforting silence that had fallen between them. It was really a matter of bravery until the inevitable happened. When he had made the first move she for the first time in years didn't think just acted instinctively and lent forward.

The kiss was soft at first as if they knew this was the border and with any sudden movements there whole life could end shortly, everything would change, but at the same time there was hope that they would be somewhere better a new step into life. They were pressed up against each others lips for what seemed like forever until booth pressed a little harder and moved his hand to the back of her head enjoy the feel of her well kept shinny brown hair. The kiss started to deepen and before either knew what happened they were over that line.

"mm maybe we… should…leave…before" Brennan mumbled breathily into his lips.

Booth simply nodded and stood up keep his lips locked with Brennans for as long as possible. Once they made there way out of the booth he grabbed her hand and kissed it lovingly across the knuckles. He had definitely had to much to drink.
