Ok, so this is going to be a series of three little snippets, and I mean snippets, from the scene at the end of 'the Secret in the Soil' with Booth, Brennan and Sweets' thoughts. They will be very short but they should be done very quickly.
Booth
What did she mean she wouldn't go for coffee with him if there were no more murders? He would want to go for coffee with her. Did their partnership really mean that little to her? He would jump in front of a bullet for her, yet she wouldn't even go for coffee with him?
This was all Sweets' fault. If he hadn't started talking about their 'relationship', implying that there was a deeper component like every twelve year old thinks of, he wouldn't have been worrying about it. Of course Bones would go and have coffee with him, it would just be a lot less...work related. They would still be able to talk and be friends.
He looked across at her, automatically answering questions that he wasn't actually listening to, to see her staring back. She had beautiful eyes, clear and crisp like a winter's morning. He smiled at his analogy. They were like a sheet of steel, cool and shiny, strong and resistant and completely and utterly captivating. If you turned them into the pretty wind-chime spinning thingies that they sell at craft fairs they really would be absolutely beautiful. He thought, and then erased the image from his mind. That was a seriously messed up picture, he had definitely been spending too much time with the whole squint squad. He sighed. They would be nice to wake up to every morning. He had to stop his thought track again, this was Bones he was thinking about. He liked her, he really did, but she ran away from him at the bar the first case they worked, the time he fired her. He blocked the images of what could have been that night - he had to move on. Tessa left him because he still had 'feelings' for Bones. His unrequited love was inhibiting his ability to have a consistent, suitable relationship. It was inhibiting his ability to be truly happy. He was certain, however, that Bones could make him very, very happy. She just had to be more open to the idea of it. She just had to be more open.
