So she mustered up all the courage he could, and walked slowly into his office, with a foolproof plan in mind.
"Bones hi" he greeted her warmly, as he stood up to guide her towards a seat. "I wont be much longer, just finishing something up" he said, shutting the door and walking back towards his seat.
As he walked past bones, she gently grabbed his arm to stop him. "Sorry booth, I just need to ask you something" she said, the fear evident in her voice. Booth gave her a concerned look, and she took this as the opportunity to continue. "I just, needed to" she paused, ashamed at her own fear. Taking a deep breath she shot her words out quickly. "How do you tell your best friend that you love them" she looked at the ground, and then back up to booth, who was giving her a strange look.
There was a moment of silence, as booth tried to process her words. Not knowing what she was referring to, he answered in the best way he knew how too. "Well it depends," he said, concentrating on her features. "If your best friend doesn't feel the same, then you tell them how you feel and explain that you don't want anything to change," he said, as he noticed the saddened look on her face. With a pang of hope he inched forward and continued. "But, if your best friend loves you back, then you explain how you feel, and you tell them that you want things to change, because life is always better with them". He said, his voice low and husky. He noticed as she swallowed and took a small step forward, so that they were now inches apart.
She stared at him for a moment, and then asked her final question. "How can you tell if they feel the same way?" she asked, quietly as she noticed the hopeful look in booths eyes.
He tilted his head slightly before he answered. "Well you wait, you wait for a moment when you realize that they feel the same way." He took another small step forward, his eyes penetrating hers. "You wait for a moment, when the world falls away, and it is just the two of you." She moved her head in slightly, as the electricity and tension consumed her. "You wait for a moment, when they are the only thing that matters," he said as they simultaneously moved forward, their foreheads almost touching. "Then you tell them" he concluded in a low voice, as their lips grazed gently over each others.
"Agent booth, are you in here?"
At the sound of the voice, they slowly separated and stepped away from each other, giving each other sad and longing looks. Booth then opened the door, revealing the one person they didn't want to see, Sweets.
"Oh, great you are both here. I can't make the session tomorrow, so can we have it now?" he inquired.
Booth and bones looked at each other, then back at sweets.
"Yeah, that's fine" said bones, glancing at booth again. Sweets then headed towards his office, with bone and booth following close behind. They then entered sweets office and were trying to prepare themselves for the session that was to come.
