Glitter in the air 2

Booth's POV

It had been a long night but finally Bones was beginning to nod off. I still couldn't believe what had happened to her that bastard would be found and he would pay I'd see to it personally. I given Bones her next dose of pain killers and helped her to get into bed. She would take my bed tonight as it would be more comfortable for her. She was so exhausted that she did not have the energy to change in to night clothes, but I couldn't let her go to bed in wet dirty clothes so I found a pair of old boxers and one of my old F.B.I t shirt's for her to sleep in.

Hey Bones you need to get out of those dirty blood stained clothes why don't you get changed in to these in the bathroom. I'll wait out here for you.

I could see she was about to protest when she looked down at herself and realised I for once was right. She took the clothes out of my hands and slowly made her way in the bathroom wincing with every other step. I heard the bathroom door close and I sat down on the edge of the bed to wait. If she needed me I would be close enough to hear her. I had been sat there for about 5 minutes when I heard Bones call through the door.

Umm Booth can you do me a favour, I can't unhook my bra it hurts too much to reach round, could you do it for me?

Oh my goodness for a second I couldn't answer I was just choked, did she just ask me to do what I thought she did. Wait grow up Booth you can do a simple thing like this for your hurt partner.

Yer okay Bones unlock the door for me and I'll come in and help you.

I heard the mechanism of lock snap back and the door opened slightly. I made my way towards the door.

Bones are you decent

God help me if she wasn't.

Yes I got the shirt on but I can't undo the hook at the back of my bra.

I pushed the door open with hand covering my eyes just in case she hadn't got the shirt fully on. It turns out she did she laughed and removed my hand from my face.

You're such a prude Booth.

I had to bite my lip, not only did she look adorable in my clothes but now she was standing in my bathroom asking me to undo her bra. What was this woman trying to do to me? Bones noticed me biting my lip, but gladly I don't think she was quite sure why I was doing it.

Come here and turn around then Bones

She did as she was asked and placed herself in front of me. I put my hand under and up the back of her shirt. As soon as my hand made contact with her skin I felt like it was on fire. I was trying to think of anything that would distract me from what I was doing. I quickly undone the hook and withdrew my hand. I let her remove the rest before directing her back towards the bed. I helped her get in then I pulled the duvet up to cover her, she fell asleep quite quickly.

I'm a gentleman so I waited until she was definitely asleep before I retreated to the couch picking some pillows and a blanket up out of cupboard on the way. I kicked off my shoes and took off my suit jacket, shirt and trousers leaving me just in my wife beater and boxers. I laid down and tried to get comfortable on this horrible lumpy couch I definitely needed to invest in a new one.

I tried so hard to fall asleep but my mind wouldn't let me, the night's events buzzed around my head. Why her? Why tonight? Why did she go in to the park alone? All she had to do was call me I would have been there in a heartbeat to walk with her. I'd ask her about that when she felt better. I've been trying to kid myself that I don't have feelings for her, but no matter how I tried to convince myself otherwise, I could get the fact that I still love her out of my head. Yes she had turned me down on the steps that day, yes it broke my heart, and yes I had tried to move on, I tried not to love her. I had met Hannah in Afghanistan, I love her but not in the way I love Bones. Hannah was currently on an assignment in New York and was due back tomorrow afternoon. I think I may need to have an important chat with her about us when she gets back. I don't think it is going to work, she is amazing but she isn't my Bones. I believe Bones loves me too but she has to discover that in her own time I can't push her towards that realisation.

Suddenly I hear a blood chilling scream coming from the direction of my room. I'm up in flash running in the direction of the noise grabbing my gun off the table on the way. As I approach the door I hear another scream and I arm my gun and bring it up in a position so that I'm ready to shoot. I slowly push the door open, gun goes first and I scan the room for an intruder but I can't see anyone. Then I realise Bones is thrashing around on the bed she is having a nightmare but the looks of it. My gun is lowered and unarmed as I approach the side of the bed. I place it out of the way on the side table before I knell down to her level.

Bones your okay wake up for me.

I place my hand gently on her shoulder hoping to calm her down. It seems to work the trashing seems to stop and she begins to wake.

Hey Baby

There I go with the pet names again she really will kick the crap out of when she is better she hates them. Her eyes slowly open and she takes in her surroundings. The next thing I hear makes my heart skip a beat, she sounds so innocent and kind of sexy. Her voice is quite raspy from the screaming.

Booth

I lean over the bed a bit more.

Yer Bones it's me you were having a bad dream, do you want to talk about it?

I dreamt I was back in that park but this time he didn't leave he just kept kicking me.

She started to sob and tears escaped and trailed down her cheeks. It made my heart break, to see her so scared she was normally such a strong confident person, that man had broken her.

Hey Bones your okay he can't get you, come here.

I pulled her as gently as I could into a guy hug and she sobbed in to my shoulder. We sat like that for what seemed like hours but in reality was only a few minutes, before she had calmed down and began to pull away. I let her lie back down on the bed and in her attempt to get comfortable again, she pulled on her side and she winced in pain. I looked at the clock she couldn't have any more pain killers for another 3 hours but I had a plan. I told her I would be back in a tic I knew exactly what would help. I grabbed a bag of frozen peas from the freezer and wrapped it a towel, ice therapy would help with the pain and would reduce the swelling. I thought why I didn't think of this earlier, I went back in to my room and passed the towel to Bones.

You can put this on for 15 minutes then leave off for an hour it should help with the pain and swelling.

She didn't argue as she placed the pack over the affected ribs, she hissed at first from the shock of the cold but it then seemed to have the desire effect.

Thanks Booth

Hey don't worry about it try and get some sleep when the 15 minutes is up and I'll wake you when your meds are due. I am in the living room if you need anything. Night Bones.

I started to head back towards the door when I heard her soft quiet voice say;

Please stay Booth

I stopped in my tracks was she really asking me that. She must have realised my hesitance because she spoke again.

I don't want to close my eyes and be alone again Booth. I know it sounds childish but what if he is there haunting me in my dreams again.

I slowly turned back towards her, her face was slightly lit by the moonlight that streaming through the gap in the curtains. How could I say no to her, not that I really wanted to anyway. Her eyes were glistening with unshed tears; she would probably tell me the morning that it was irrational to think that the man would find her and come back for round two. But at the present time that rational side of her had been pushed to one side and her vulnerability was shining through instead. I started to walk back towards the bed and when I got there I slowly climbed on and lay on top of the covers.

Booth you will get cold if you lay on top get under the duvet.

I removed my vest top as I got to hot at night but I wasn't going to tell her that as she was so insistent. I pulled up the cover and slipped underneath but I made sure I stayed as close to the edge as I could. Yes we had shared a bed before but that was only ever during cases away or while undercover, this was different it was more intimate, more personal. I just lay there a while watching her, until I could see that her breathing had evened out and I knew she was asleep. Now she was asleep I finally closed my eyes, when suddenly I felt the bed shift slightly. Next thing I know Bones had shuffled over to me and was now snuggled completely up to me. When I say completely I mean it, her head was now resting on my bare chest. Her body was now completely aligned to the side of mine, and her leg was draped between mine and her arm was splayed across my stomach. I first I thought that this might be uncomfortable due to her rib injury but she didn't wake nor did she hiss in her sleep. I had to whisper a few Hail Mary's at this point, I knew she probably hadn't realised what she had done but I didn't mind in fact I quite liked it. Although I now realised I really needed to have that important chat with Hannah tomorrow. I looked at the clock then closed my eyes it was three in the morning and I could grab a few hours' kip until Bones' meds were due at 6.

A/N please review add and all that stuff it really makes my day after a hard shift at work. I may even send you a naked Booth or I may keep him to myself. Let me know if you like it so i can continue to write it :D.
