Just a quick oneshot I thought up last night. This was also cross

-------------------------------------------------------------
The red numbers of Seeley Booth's alarm clock pierced through the
early morning darkness, uncaringly declaring the early hour at which
he had arisen. But the time wasn't what mattered. All that mattered
to him was the body of warmth snuggled next to him, her head resting
on his chest as it slowly rose and fell with each breath. Two years
ago, he could never even have imagined that he could have even
befriended her, much less be lying next to her savoring her presence;
her warmth; even the scent of her which he had memorized so well.
She's a fighter, but when you peel away the gruff exterior, a truly
loving, caring woman is revealed. But perhaps that is why he had
become so enthralled with her. She argued with him; challenged him.
Even that was more than he could ever say for Cam or the series of
revolving door girlfriends he had in the past. And with these
arguments came an endlessly more intimate understanding of each
other's minds and their most intricate workings. With this growing
knowledge of the other's most personal thoughts and secrets came
the most important factor of their relationship: trust. When they had
first been paired, he could tell from the moment he met her that she
was a broken person with emotional barriers as thick as the Great
Wall, and just as intricately crafted. But as they grew closer, the
barriers came down one by one until she had made herself vulnerable
to him, just as he had become to her. They shared some of the most
intimate emotional moments together – the tears of pain; the joy of
love; the passion of lust – and he would trade these moments for
nothing else in the world. For the first time, he felt complete; as
if for his entire life he had been searching for his other half, and
had finally found it within the most unlikely of beings.
He lowered his head and kissed her hair lightly, taking in her scent
and gazing softly at her peaceful features. "Thank you, Bones."
he murmured under his breath. His fingers lightly stroked her arm as
he pulled her nearer to him, not able to be close enough to her, the
woman he loved so much. He closed his eyes and took a slow, deep
breath, savoring the moment one last time as drowsiness again
overtook him. Just as he was submitting to the inevitable sleep that
awaited him, he whispered three last words into her hair; and though
she would not hear, she knew.
"I love you."
Please review – I really appreciate any kind of feedback. Thanks for reading.
