Just a quick oneshot from Booth's POV. After Watching The Boy With the Answer, I had to write something. You know I had speculated before with a friend that one of our favourite crime fighting duo was going to leave. But you see , this just means that they can be together. Then when Booth will need her help on a case, they will run into the conflict of FBI-can't-have-relations bit. Then they will have to go to Hacker to clear it, etc.
You'll see. It'll be okay in the end! You see I now have faith in the writers again for this REALLY good case!
Disclaimer: As always I cannot claim that is mine... though I have speculated story lines that are very close to the actual thing... they just aren't usually in writing to prove it. Sigh...
Watching you drive away in that cab was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. Cause as much as I'd like to deny it, you were right. You always are. Things are changing, Bones. I just wish it wouldn't start with you.
Saying that you wanted to quit working for the FBI was like saying you don't want to work with me anymore. I know that's not what you meant but that's how it felt. I can't have you quit on me Bones. Us, working together, that's the connection I have to you. If I lose that, I'll lose you. Say you do quit. Sure we might meet up once a week. But after a month or so, our separate work, separate lives, will catch up with us. After that, we might only meet up on the occasional weekend. And I don't think I can handle only being able to see you occasionally. And I know you won't mean to lose contact. But I know you, work always takes priority. That's how I inserted myself into your life. I was part of work, so I guess in a way, that's how I knew I was important to you. Even though you wouldn't give us a shot, at least by still wanting to work with me, I knew that you still wanted to see me, just like I wanted to see you.
And by just having you there, that was enough.
I don't think I can handle you leaving working for the FBI, Bones. And as much as you call it irrational, it'll still feel like you're leaving me. That kind of change, I don't think I'd be able to recover from.
Anyway, let me know what you think about the story or my speculation. As always, I appreciate any and all feedback!
