Author Notes: I've decided to do a series of oneshots, inspired by songs. They'll probably be based loosely around a song or have the lyrics in the story to help tell it; if that makes sense. I was listening to my mp3 the other day, trying to sleep, and I found quite a few songs that gave me ideas to work with so here we go. Hopefully they turn out decent!. Also; you can youtube the music and hear for yourself while you read if you want to.
The first song is "I like you so much better when you're naked" by Ida Maria.
.I own nothing.
Booth and Brennan were having yet another dispute in the lab over a dead body, literally.
Their latest case had them frustrated since there was a lack in evidence and they needed to narrow down the possible suspects. Booth was trying to help as he says by creating a hypothesis of what happened on the night of the murder but Brennan wasn't hearing any of it. So at this point they were now standing either side of the table with a bloody corpse in between them, bickering as to what relevance a hypotheses was when they actually needed facts.
"It could be any of them Booth, just because she was the jealous ex doesn't mean she done it" Brennan raised her voice, eyebrows forming a stern frown.
"I know but we need to go back out there and interrogate them all again, and she has more motive than anyone else, narrow it down a bit!" Booth growled and clenched his fists. He hated getting into an argument with her but it was infuriating that she never considered his points because they were not scientifically proven.
"Well until we find more evidence I'm not going to pin point it on anyone" Brennan huffed and crossed her arms, giving him an intense glare.
"I'm not saying she done it, I'm just saying she has the most motive and we need to look at that" Booth retorted and closed his eyes, taking a deep breath in as to try and not snap at Brennan before something was said that would make the situation even harsher.
He could hear Brennan let out a small growl from her throat and without even looking at her it was noticeable that she was pissed off.
"I liked it better when you were out in the field and I stayed here in the lab doing my thing" Brennan snapped.
"Well I liked it better when my views were actually considered" Booth hissed and clenched his jaw. He had his arms crossed and straightened his back.
"I would like it better if you didn't act so alpha male in an argument!" Brennan's arms fell to her sides and her hands clenched into fists when she noticed her straightened his back which was a possible indication of trying to look taller and threatening.
"I like you so much better when you're naked" Booth didn't see the point in this argument. It had lost its relevance and the words had just slipped off the tip of his tongue at this moment in time. He had heard the song the other day and those few words started by Brennan had just egged him to say it. As soon as he said it he knew it was possibly one of the worst things he could say in this situation, however he couldn't help but smirk when he saw his partners reaction. She had lost all anger in her face which was now replaced with confusion.
"What does that have to do with this! Besides you haven't even seen me naked so you can't even make a judgement Booth" Brennan didn't know what he meant by this. It could be an insult, a compliment, maybe even a reflection of his true desires. She felt her throat close up on the last thought and felt vulnerable. Never had she thought he would look at her in that way. That look on her didn't go unnoticed and Booth realised that she must have taken it in a bad way.
"Bones, look…" His facial expression softened and he went to walk around the table and towards her when a familiar tune was blasted through a pair of computer speakers nearby.
"I won't mind
if you take off all your clothes
Come on, take them off
Cos I like you so much better when you're naked
I like me so much better when you're naked
I like you so much better when you're naked"
The music drummed through Brennan's ears and she picked up each lyric only then to realise that Booth hadn't actually meant it in that way.
"Oh" She mumbled when a clearing of the throat distracted her, realising they had an audience. Hodgins still had the music blaring and was singing along with it.
"I won't mind, if you take off all your clothes…" he sung and with a devious smirk he pointed to Angela.
"Yeah, in your dreams" she rolled her eyes and walked off with her sketchpad in hand, back to her desk. Booth and Brennan stood there laughing at poor Hodgins rejection, ignoring the awkward position they faced a few moments ago.
"However, considering I've seen you; I can say that I like you so much better when you're naked" Brennan whispered and couldn't help but grin when she saw her partners face flush fully red in a matter of seconds. She decided to make her get away while she still had the chance, and with that she walked away confidently while he stood frozen on the spot, staring. She had got her own back and it was his turn to face the public humiliation.
Cam walked over to Hodgins to report on a discovery she'd found in the case but noticed he was distracted and had music on. She was about to tell him off until she saw Booth standing next to the corpse, looking flustered.
"Wow, I've never seen him so red before" Cam whispered, eyes slowly making their way back to Hodgins who laughed.
"Dude, whatever she said got him real bad!" He laughed a little too loud and caught a glare from Booth who had got out of his trance. Hodgins coughed and looked down, turning the music off and pretending to focus on his work.
Cam was about to ask what had happened but she thought for her sake she had best not; well not while Booth was present. "You know what; I don't think I want to know" She mumbled and walked off to find Dr Brennan with some important findings.
