A/N: Short ficlet. I wrote it after my friend told me one sentence.
A/N 2: All mistakes are mine.
A/N 3: Thanks for reading.
Replacement?
Your girlfriend's best friend is the one who will soon replace you.
"Do you know what men use to say?" asked Tim, holding a green bottle of beer.
"All men or just men you know? Because if all men of the world then..." started Brennan.
"Just men I know." he interrupted her. "Between my friends. Do you know what they use to say?" he repeated the question.
"No, I do not know. Will you tell me?" asked curious Bones and she took a sip from her bottle, in the same time looking in his blue eyes.
"Your girlfriend's best friend is the one who soon will replace you." he said, pushing away a lock of hair from his tanned forehead.
"But I don't understand what it has in common with us." anthropologist was still asking.
"Temperance, just think. You and Booth..." he started, but she stopped him.
"You're breaking with me because of some sentence that some people keep repeating. It doesn't have any logical explanation. In my whole life, I haven't heard more ridiculous reason of splitting up." said Bones, taking a sip of her beer.
"No. I'm breaking up with you because of the things I've heard and saw. I know that the thing what is between us will never be the same which is between you and Booth. Do you understand now?" he explained slowly looking straight in her eyes.
"But between me and Booth... there is nothing. We're just friends. You know that, right?" she tried to explain him what was obvious only for her.
"Yeah, now you are. But believe me. That thing is real, that sentence is true. It's not being taken out of Blue. Sooner or later it will happen. You'll see." he answered.
'I hope so.' thought Brennan.
"Cheers" Tim's voice took her out of daze.
"Cheers." she said drinking her beer.
Several months later
"Cheers for Thomas John Booth." said Hodgins, taking a sip of his champagne.
"Cheers" said the rest, looking at Booth and Bones and their little son who were asleep in his father's arms.
"Cheers" whispered Brennan, coming back to reality. 'What if Tim was right. His words became true.' she thought, hugging Booth. Her friend and partner. Partner, not only at work. Not anymore.
Author's words:
And they live happily ever after, catching bad guys, examinating bones, writing books and taking care of a bunch of kids. But when they found time for themselves. That, well that only Booth and Bones know.
Amen^^
Please R&R. Thanks :)
