Disclaimer I don't own Bones. There you cannot sue me

Story outline (This may turn into an 'M' rated story, but I'm not sure yet. I'll wait for feedback) Rated T. Temperance is working late when a familiar FBI agent stops by. Booth x Brennan.

Can you feel it?

Temperance wasn't the type of woman to leave her work until the last minute. Recently, through no fault of her own, she had let some files slip. It was Booth. Seely. She shook her head, her partners name was Seely. Partner as in co-worker. Nothing else. Temperance rubbed her eyes with her fingers, the pads of them tracing the sleep away.

She opened her eyes to find them lingering on the clock on the wall, the time was ridiculously late but she often found she worked better alone. At night. Without distractions, noise or anything else. Without Seely. Booth. She slammed her hand on the keyboard, her spelling mistakes flashing on the screen with an ugly red line beneath them.

"Of course they are wrong you damned thing! I hardly call hitting my hand on the keyboard grammatically correct" She stared at the illuminated screen for a moment before parting her lips for a sigh. She was talking to a computer.

Maybe it would make all the difference if she had another cup of coffee. At the moment, stress, fatigue and the glare of the computer screen were driving her to the edge. She pushed herself out of her office chair and walked to her door, on her way to open it she jumped as it pushed towards her. She stumbled a few steps back and let out a sigh of relief as Booth walked into the room.

"Bones, God woman. What are you doing here at this time? I thought someone had broken in" He sounded tired.

"Don't call me Bones Seely. And just to clear things up for you in three steps, I'll explain some things number one, this is a secure unit, nobody can get it. Secondly I was working, as always and thirdly you need to tell me what you are doing here" She folded her arms beneath her breasts and gazed at him. Seely watched her, amused at her sudden reaction. A mixture of sleep deprivation and the lack of caffeine was probably driving her to it.

"Okay Brennan -"

"Temperance" she corrected, Seely rolled his eyes and put his hands into his pockets, leaning forwards slightly

"Temperance" He mimicked. Hearing his deep voice sent the already awoken butterflies into hyper drive. "I'm here to look at some files, I couldn't sleep. Speaking of which, shouldn't you?" Brennan looked at her partner, his shirt was undone a few buttons at the top and from what she could see, if she was to rip that certain piece of fabric from his body. Well, she wouldn't be disappointed. His hair was tussled like he had ran his hands through it more than one, and his lips had moved into his usual smirk.

"Shouldn't I what?" She asked. A raised eyebrow and removal of hands later Seely replied,

"Sleep. We both need it" He sounded frustrated "Aren't you meant to be the one with all the answers Bones?" It was her turn to roll her eyes,

"At 12 o'clock at night I think I can be let off" She moved past him, her search for coffee on again.

"You know your sexy when your angry" His voice and comment caused Brennan to stop her stride to the coffee machine, she turned around.

"And you" She punctuated her speech with a stab of the finger "Are a loud-mouthed FBI agent, your obnoxious at times" She accentuated her 'anger' by walking towards him, lost on what to say she searched his amused expression with her eyes to find something else. "And you think your funny." She glared at him, waiting for a response "But your not" She added triumphantly. Not for the first time since he had met Temperance Brennan, Special Agent Booth was stunned into silence.

"Well then…" he started but stopped with satisfaction as he saw the instant regret in the females face.

"I'm sorry Booth" She said, her voice monotone. As usual. She walked back into her office and fell softly onto the couch, Seely watched her movement. She was tired, overworked and stressed and her graceful movements still stayed intact. Without speaking Seely walked to the couch and waiting for Brennan to move, when she did he sat next to her.

"You work to hard Bones. Start this typing up tomorrow, I'll drive you back to your place tonight" As soon as he suggested it he knew he shouldn't have. Temperance was a professional woman, just like all the other female squints. He titled his head to the side, maybe he could add Hodgins to that equation. Finding his private joke amusing he let out a soft laugh, quickly silenced by an icy glare from Brennan, which was soon softened through lack of sleep.

"As nice as it is for you to offer Booth I think I'll finish up tonight. Get it out of the way you know" She watched as the former army sniper nodded,

"Want me to stay?" He asked.

Always.

Brennan sat upright, confused at the inner thoughts in her mind. Did she just think that purposely or was it the late night fatigue catching up with her? She glanced at the floor. Professionally her and Booth were close, they had to be in this profession. Too many disagreements and being distant led to flaws at the end. They were too different, she was still fighting her own demons inside her, she was too socially outcast compared to Booth to be in his league anyway. She inhaled a long breath, the arousing aroma of his own scent sent her functions off the chart.

When had she fallen for Seely?

"Brennan? Temperance?" He paused "Bones?" Booth shook her gently by the shoulder, "Hey wake up and answer me. Parker has more energy than you when he's tired" The forensic anthropologist turned to him blankly, "What's wrong Bones? Come on you can tell me, remember? We're like Scully and Mulder. They told each other things" He looked at her, her blank expression filled further more with confusion "You don't know what I mean do you"

"I'm not into the whole 'pop culture scene' remember?" Without thought she lent her head on his shoulder, it was firm and only changed it's form when Seely tensed. "I'm just tired" Booth nodded to what his partner was saying, only half listening. His other half was preoccupied on how loud his heart was beating, how fast it was pumping and if she knew what he was feeling. Slowly he snaked his arm around her,

"Time for you to go home Bones. No arguments." He stood up, and held out his hand for her to pull herself up with. As her cold hand wrapped around his significantly larger one, Booth realized once more why he had really come here tonight.

He had fallen for Temperance.

He hadnt been sure of something in his whole life, but this he was. The woman sat next to him was, how did he put it before? 'Well Structured' more than that, she was amazing. Sure she had some faults but that was what had attracted him to the brainy little thing he called 'Bones' in the first place. He wasnt sure how far he had fallen yet, he wanted to let her take him for his ride until he admitted where he was and what he was feeling. All he knew at the moment was one thing.

He didnt want to go home alone.

"Take me home then" He nodded in reply and watched her go to the computer to turn it off and then walk out of the door to the office, his eyes in awe at the way her hips moved. Like a invisible dance to a silent song. "Come on. I wanna grab something to eat on the way home" her voice was murmured from her lack of sleep,

"Coming" Was his reply. He was taking his breath-taxingly beautiful colleague home, to sleep. Not that he wanted to sleep. In reality he wanted to stay awake with her all night, whispering compliments, words, seductions into her ear. He wanted to caress her skin and make her shiver in delight. He wanted to know how her lips tasted on his, but he knew he couldnt.

Thats the only reason he never pinned her against the laboratory wall and had his wicked way with her.

Strictly professional.

"Move it Booth" Her voice crashed through his thoughts and he gave her a smile as he followed her outside into the bitter night. This was going to be a long ride home.

AN So what do you want to see happen guys? Short I know but it's an opening thing. Review if you please.
