Writing for Booth is tougher for me as I relate to Brennan most of the time, so... So rather than start him his own thread, I'm just gonna keep all the post-seven one-shots and drabbles here. Thanks Tracy, dahling, for the read-through. :)


"No. This is morbid."

"Good afternoon to you too, Angela."

"You cannot eat here. This is wrong and grotesque and your food might have something growing on it, like dead people's skin flakes."

"Are you guys keeping non-skeletal remains down here now? Bones is gonna hate that…"

"You know what I mean, Booth."

"Then I would have to tell you that you're being inaccurate. Each set of remains here is cleaned and treated in a way that preserves the bone. This is probably the cleanest room in the whole museum one can eat in. Also, I don't think dead skin cells can grow anything, since they're dead."

"Okay, Mister Literal. It doesn't make it any less morbid. And since when am I the one who has to explain this to YOU? I mean, guys are guys and Hodgins will eat anything in the ookey room including some of the things he grows in the ookey room. But you? You should be horrified at the fact that you're just sitting here on the stairs down to Limbo, much less partaking in your lunch."

He stays quiet for few moments before he quietly answers her. "Clark is working in her office."

She sighs as she sits down beside him, both sets of legs now swinging off the side of the stairs.

"I know."

"And I walked all the way over here to have lunch like I usually do in her office. But... not today. And no one's down here. So I'm not bothering anyone," he defended quietly, staring at what he had left of the hot dog he had grabbed from the vendor on the walk over.

"You know, despite the general cleanliness of the room, Brennan would totally scold you for eating in here, potentially contaminating her remains."

"Then she should come back to scold me."

With that, Angela gave his shoulders a quick squeeze before standing and walking back up the stairs without another word.


Didya get it? The title... Booth... the location... *shrugs* :)
