Thanks for all the lovely reviews! Please keep them coming! Merry Christmas!
Brennan sighed and buried her nose deeper into her comfortable pillow. She yawned and opened her eyes, this wasn't her bedroom? Where was she? She pulled her head up and hit something hard, it moved and she looked up to see her partner staring down at her, rubbing his chin sleepily.
"Bones?"
"Booth? Well, I suppose I was sleepier than I thought."
Booth rubbed his eyes as Brennan sat up and stretched her arms above her head, she yawned and moved herself off of her partner. Booth sat up and watched as she left down the hall and made her way to the bathroom, she might as well of lived in his apartment she knew it so well.
Booth shook his head and stood up, he popped his back and cringed as it made a series of unpleasant pops, sleeping on his lumpy couch did nothing for his back. He sighed and made his way into the kitchen, made a pot of coffee, and popped a few biscuits into the oven. Brennan entered the kitchen shortly and, taking a cup of coffee, sat herself at the breakfast table across from Booth.
"You know, Bones, you kick a lot when you sleep." Booth said as he stretched his neck out.
Brennan supped at her coffee. "I'm sorry. You know, you could have woken me, I didn't mean to fall asleep on you."
Booth shrugged. "You said you were tired, so I didn't want to wake you up. I'll be fine."
"Thank you, Booth. That was kind. I actually slept well, a lot better than you'd think, weighing in the fact that I was on top of another human being."
Booth nodded and stood, he went to the coffee pot and poured himself a cup of coffee then pulled the curtains away from the only window in the kitchen.
"Wow! Bones, it's snowing!"
Brennan set her cup on the table and walked to the window to stand beside Booth. "Yes, Booth, it's snowing. It's not the first time it's snowed in DC."
Booth sighed. "I know that, Bones, but I like snow. It's like every time it snows I'm a kid again, visiting my dad's parents in their hunting lodge in Alaska."
"Your grand parents had a hunting lodge in Alaska? Interesting."
"Yeah." Was Booth's calm reply.
Brennan sighed and put her nearly empty cup of coffee in the sink. "I should be going now, Russ is supposed to come over with the girls today to exchange Christmas gifts before they go up to Michigan to see Amy's parents."
Booth nodded and followed his partner out of the kitchen. She grabbed her purse and keys and waited as Booth slipped his shoes on.
"You know you don't have to follow me out of your building." Brennan said matter of factually.
Booth nodded and finished tying his shoes. "I know, I just wanna go outside and see the snow."
Brennan laughed and the two made their way out of Booth's apartment building. As soon as Booth pulled the door open and stepped outside, the two were hit with a fiercely snowy cold wind. Brennan sighed and glanced at her car then at the road, the road was iced over and it didn't look like she was going anywhere anytime soon.
"Well, Booth, it looks like I'm just out here to look at the snow as well."
