A/N: Happy birthday to us! Happy birthday to us! Happy birthday dear Bryn Elizabeth and GryffindorPrincess23! Happy birthday to us!
A/N 2: This is my birthday present to GryffindorPrincess23. She wanted a fic where Lily gets her first kiss from a certain blonde someone, so, here ya go, Girl!
A/N 3: For the purpose of this fic/ my sanity, I'm pretending that any and all Angela/Wendell was all some weird nightmarish hallucination we all shared in. I've also decided that it takes place before the hundredth episode, because it's just easier not to deal with that right now.
Lily sat idly on the forensic platform, drumming her fingers on the table in front of her. It was getting late. Everyone else had gone home, leaving Lily to put all of the evidence away. Again. Her dad and Brennan had gone out for dinner and promised to pick Lily up when they were done.
And yet, there she sat. Still.
She considered taking a nap on the couch in Brennan's office, but that would have involved actually getting up and walking all the way in there. So, she laid her head down right on the table and closed her eyes.
Just when she was about to doze off, she heard a clattering sound, and her eyes shot open.
"Dad?"
No answer came, and she looked around. Satisfied that no one and nothing was there, and she had just been dreaming, she laid back down.
And a finger lightly tapped her on the shoulder and she nearly fell off the chair with a short scream.
"Wendell... Bray..." She panted. "You scared me to death!"
He threw up his hands in mock surrender.
"Sorry, Birthday Princess."
"Hey, I'm not the Birthday Princess until tomorrow."
"Yeah, but I bet you have a special day jam-packed full of plans with no room for me."
She shrugged. "Lunch with Dad, Parker's baseball game, and dinner with Dad, Parker, and Brennan. Nothing too special. I'm sure I could pencil you in somewhere."
He smiled. "Or we could celebrate tonight. I mean, you didn't look too busy."
"As a matter of fact, Mr. Bray, I am incredibly busy."
"Mm-hmm." He moved closer to her. "You look beautiful tonight, Birthday Princess."
She blushed. "Thanks."
He brushed a stray curl off of her face, leaning towards her. "What do you want most for your fifteenth birthday, Lils?"
"I... I don't know. The Lady Antebellum CD?"
"No. What did you tell Lucy you wanted most?"
Her eyes grew wide as it dawned on her.
"Your first kiss."
And with those words, he cupped her cheek in his hand, leaning in even more until his lips gently touched hers.
