Better Than Me, a Bones FanficDisclaimer: 'Bones' is the copy-righted work of its writers, producers and Fox. Seeing as I am none of those, I do not own 'Bones'. 'Better Than Me' by Hinder is the copyrighted work of Hinder. I have no personal or professional relations to Hinder. No copy-right infringement intended.
Summary: Sully is on his boat, still in the Caribbean. He's reminiscing about his life back in DC. TOTAL IMPLIED B/B!! T, for minor language.
A/N: This is a Sully fic. I realize that most Bones fans have some unresolved Sully issues, but just go with me. Sully gave us the scenes where he asks Booth if he wants Brennan, and leaves Bren on the dock for Booth to find her. *HEART* So, basically I don't really mind Sully all that much (except for that whole dating Brennan thing.) Anyways, this fic is about Sully thinking about Brennan and Booth and how he basically didn't have a chance in hell with Brennan. Enjoy.
I told myself I won't miss you
But I remember
What it feels like beside you
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
- 'Better Than Me' by Hinder
I should have seen it. Hell, I did see it, but I chose to ignore it. From that day I asked him if he wanted her, I should've been able to tell.
I'm a profiler for God's sake.
He paused. He smirked. He didn't answer my question.
I should've known.
I should've listened to the guy down the hall from me in the FBI building who told me to get my shit together because there was no chance for me with her – she was Booth's squint.
But instead I let myself fall for her, letting my heart getting involved. I know that what we had was way more than a fling, but what she has with Booth is far more precious than that.
What she has with Booth, is love.
I can't say I was surprised when I saw him on that dock as I was sailing away. When I saw him, I turned and I didn't look back. I knew she'd be taken care of.
She doesn't deserve me. I left her. I didn't think about anything, and now I'm stuck on a boat in the Caribbean, without her. I could've waited for her, maybe we could've had more, but I didn't.
Booth would. Hell, Booth is. He's probably waiting for her right now. I haven't heard any news from the few people I kept in touch with that they've gotten together. And Lord knows, that would be headline news.
She deserves better than me.
She deserves him.
I look down at the near empty bottle of rum next to a shot glass, which seemed to have brought my mind back to DC.
Yeah, she definitely deserves him.
Always has, always will.
A/N 2: Okay, so this is my little brain-child of the moment. Anyways, I'm probably going to be writing a lot of one-shots sort of like this for the next little while. It started with 'Natural', and then I got to thinking (which is always an interesting thing) "What if I wrote a fic from the POV of random people from 'Bones' about how much B/B love each other and belong together?" Well, now inspiration has hit. So you get a Sully one-shot. Look for more from our fave people including: Max, Angela, Cam, Hodgins, Zach, Russ, Caroline, and anyone else I feel like! Thanks for reading, and please review!
