For once Brennan walked behind Booth. It felt weird walking towards Booth's place. She had been there times before but it was always her storming into Booth's place unannounced, ready to scream at him for whatever reason.

Booth walked through the hall with his right hand on his back, doing the best he could to make her think he was hurt.

Brennan felt guilty, she kept repeating again and again the procedure she had done to his back, but she couldn't figure out where it went wrong.

"Here we are" Booth opened the door slowly, extending his arm for her to go first.

"Thanks" Brennan looked around; she was amazed at how much his place showed Booth. She dropped the bag she had picked up at her place on the floor and continued looking around.

"You act like you've never been here" Booth said with a smile.

"I've been here" She looked at the pictures of Parker on the wall "But I've never been able to actually observe it"

"Well..." He flapped his hand "Observe away" Booth reached down to the floor and grabbed her bag.

"Booth, no!" Brennan yelled.

"What? What?!" Booth said looking alarmed.

Brennan walked towards him and took the bag from his hand "You aren't suppose to do any physical work, remember?"

"Oh" Booth felt like his entire plan was about to crumble "Sure, I forgot"

Brennan rolled her eyes. Booth went to the kitchen for beers, he handed one beer to Brennan while he drank the other one.

Brennan took a sip and continued walking through Booth's home. It was small, but comfy. She looked at the baseball bat resting on the wall, and the hockey schedule resting above the television. Booth watched from behind as she moved towards the photos framed on the wall and resting above the coffee table.

Brennan laughed at the picture of Booth dressed as Santa Clause holding Parker on his lap.

"Don't laugh" Booth walked to her. "I was heavy back then" He smiled.

"Oh, and these" She picked up the picture.

"That was me on high school"

Brennan looked at the picture "You were one of those guys" The guy smiling at the camera was the captain of the football team and the guy every girl felt in love with.

"What do you mean one of those guys?" Booth grabbed the frame from her hands "I was a normal guy"

"C'mon Booth, you were a jock. You still are, you have the same charming smile" She said as she snapped the picture back.

"You think I have a charming smile?" Brennan had no idea how much Booth's ego had gone up thanks to her comment.

"I didn't mean it that way, I meant tha…" Brennan couldn't think of an excuse.

"You said I was charming" Booth smiled "Do I look charming Bones?"

"Stop it Booth" Brennan's cheeks got red as she avoided his eyes.

"Don't be shy Bones, don't get intimidated by my charming ways" He loved watching the way she got when being put in an awkward situation.

Brennan's eyes caught a glimpse of a photo that seemed very familiar. "What is this?"

"That is…well…it was" Booth searched for words.

Brennan looked down at a portrait of her and Booth smiling in Angela's wedding.

"Were did you ge.." Brennan didn't finish before Booth interrupted.

"Cam was showing me all the pictures she took before Hodgins and Angela ran away" He looked down at the picture and smiled. Brennan had her arm around Booth's, both of them smiling at each other unaware that the picture was being taken "I asked her if I could keep this one"

"Why?"

"You look beautiful in that picture" Right after those words escaped his lips he cursed himself. Brennan's eyes showed a mix of emotions, one of them being confusion.

"I mean, it's a partner's thing to have pictures" Booth corrected.

Brennan turned to him "It is?" She placed the picture back were it was before "It is" She reassured herself. "I don't have any pictures of us together; does that make me less of a partner?"

"No Bones" He smiled at her "You are a great partner"

"Professionally, I am" Brennan said proudly as she placed her beer on the coffee table "But relationship wise, I hurt your back"

He felt the guilt again "Don't worry about it Bones" Booth felt the need to tell the truth to Brennan, he didn't want their partnership being a bunch of lies "Bones there's something I nee…" His eyes almost fell out of their sockets "Wow! What are you doing?"

Brennan turned to him as she continued to take her blouse off, revealing the tiny tank top she had underneath "Getting ready to go to bed" She tilted her head to the couch.

Booth turned to the couch "Wait, you are not sleeping here"

She stopped undressing "The doctor said you needed supervision…"

Booth rolled his eyes "You are staying here, but not…" He pointed at the couch "here"

"Why not?"

"Because it's the couch Bones"

"I don't know what that means"

"It means that Seeley Booth never lets a lady sleep in a couch when there's a bed available" He plopped himself on the couch "I'm sleeping here"

"No!" Brennan demanded "You can't sleep here, your back is hurt, remember?"

Booth tried to ignore her and acted as if he was asleep.

"Booth!"

He kept his eyes closed.

"Booth!"

He started to snort, a little smile escaping his lips.

"Hey Booth!!!" Brennan slapped him on the chest.

"Ouch!" Booth's eyes flew open "Are you trying to get me even worst?"

"Sorry" Brennan crossed her arms in front of her chest "I still think it would be better if I sleep here"

"I can't allow that Bones" Booth shook his head "If you sleep here, I'll sleep on the floor"

Brennan puffed air through her lips "How many beds do you have in this apartment?"

"One"

Brennan was about to reclaim the couch when Booth interrupted her.

"…but it can fit two people"

Brennan looked straight into his eyes, as if trying to read his thoughts "What are you suggesting?"

"It's big enough for the two of us" Booth said as he placed his hands on his pockets.

"It's the only rational answer to our problem"

Booth smiled and shifted on his feet "That's right" He nodded "The only rational one"

Brennan grabbed her bag and invited herself to Booth's bedroom "C'mon Booth, it's time to go to bed"

Booth followed happily "Yes M'am!"

Soo...what do you think? We all know it's going to be a bit awkuard sleeping in the same bed hehe....PLEASE REVIEW.
