He walked to the Medico-Legal Lab as usual, thinking of the few minor details he had to finish for Dr. Brennan. He put on his lab coat and hurried up the stars to the platform where the remains were left the evening before.
And there she was.
Bend over the glass table, her head pillowed on top of her hands. She was fast asleep, not stirring at all when he walked slowly toward her. The skull, she was working on late last night, was finished and lying exposed next to her.
A strange fluttering and warmth started in his chest. A heartburn? He didn't eat anything this morning to warrant one. Maybe he's getting sick? Those feelings were appearing more and more ever since Dr. Brennan accepted his application for this internship. He did not know what that meant.
She moved a little and he swallowed the 'aaahhh' forming on the tip of his tongue. This was a very unhealthy position, her C4 and C5 will be hurting when she finally wakes up.
But he didn't want to wake her up yet…
He turned, hurrying down the stairs.
At least he'll bring her a cup of coffee.

tbc,
I think that the scene, when Zack brought Brennan the coffee, was the first one of many that slowly won my affection for this show. It was such a simple scene, one that showed us a lot of who Brennan was as a person and what feelings she could really inspire in others.
Hope you've enjoyed this! :) If so, tell me about it :) if not, tell me as well :)
