So…for a while I've wanted to write some Bones one-shots, especially during the Princess and the Pear when Booth was rambling on the phone to the blond agent about taking care of Brennan. That was adorable. Anyway, this is the start to hopefully a series of one shots that addresses some cute scenes like that from the series. Please enjoy. PLEASE REVIEW!!! Much love, Cat.

"So…you found out where the meteor came from?" he asked turning away from her and trying to act somewhat nonchalant, as though he hadn't been eagerly awaiting seeing her again to engage in more of the verbal sparring he found so amusing. He also turned away to clear from his mind the picture she made as she walked down the hall, her dark hair swinging about her face and her hips swaying just the tiniest bit side to side in an incredibly alluring way despite her straight no-nonsense gait and the staid black and white suit she wore.
"From the solar nebula," she teased with the knowing smile she reserved just for him whether he or she was cognizant of that fact.
"Right, anything more current than that?" he questioned, his frustration from the chaotic information session earlier not having been fully eased.
She grinned, her teasing look confirming that she understood his frustration and was pleased that he had liked her joke.
They turned as they heard Hodgins yell.
At the explosion, Booth reacted instantaneously and instinctively, finding the nearest wall to push her against so he could shield her from the impact with his body.
Brennan spared a glance for the explosion, wondering if anyone was hurt, if the equipment had been damaged, and why Hodgins would bother with an experiment that had no scientific value or relevance to the case. She had told them it wasn't pertinent to their investigation.
Booth, however, though only of her, his focus centered on protecting her to the full extent of his abilities, his gaze never wavering from her face. He only allowed himself to take a breath when the palms of his hands connected with the hard concrete of the wall.
She turned back to him, her blue-gray eyes meeting his dark brown ones as adrenaline pumped through her and irrationally a grin almost flashed on her face. Temperance thrived on this sort of excitement, the rush of being caught in a dangerous situation. Furthermore, she was female and not exactly immune to the feel of his hard and impressively muscular body pressed up against hers.
"What the hell was that?" he asked, still not taking his eyes off of her.

If this seems a little intense, it's because I watched the episode on hulu, constantly going back and rewatching bits to catch little things here and there.
