I just love Bones so much.
Standard Disclaimers...
Booth knows Bones' body.
And not just from their recent months of intimacy, and the fact that he delivered Christine.
No, it is so much more than that.
Booth knows Bones' body.
He knows her little pinky on her left hand hurts when it snows. (From a childhood injury sustained while sledding with her brother.)
He knows she can only really fall asleep if she is laying on her right side. (Years of partnership and more than enough times doing undercover work in places with only one bed.)
He knows she has harder calluses on her right hand knuckles than her left hand. (Because she favors her right side when she practices all her numerous martial arts.)
He knows her brain is not the only strong muscle in her body. (She works out routinely, able to even keep up with him on his military style exercises.)
He knows her balance has never been very good, despite her protests. (Her ice-skating abilities.)
He knows she furrows her brow just a little when reading. (Long nights of reading over evidence logs and case reports.)
Booth learned Bones' body long before they were together. Just like she can recite the extensive bone damage he has put his body through, gunshots, rib cage stretching, and the mangled bones in his feet. Perhaps he cannot reel off the scientific names for each thing, but…
Booth knows Bones' body.
