Caesar Palace: A Ferry Merry Shipping Week
August 7th - Scandal
Beautiful Dreamer
xXx
Booth bit his lip as he gazed upon his sleeping partner. They were so close. Her head rested lightly on his shoulder, having fallen there during the movie.
If he leaned down just a little bit, their lips would touch.
It was such a beautiful dream, but he would never make that move on his unsuspecting partner. He could picture Bones' face. It took a lot for something to be considered a scandal by his partner. After all, she had no problem talking publicly about sex and other things that usually made Booth blush.
But Bones wouldn't appreciate her strictly platonic friend/coworker making a move. She wasn't ready to admit there was more between them. He hoped she'd see it on her own, but it might take a gentle nudge in the right direction. If Booth kissed her, that would be more like a push off a cliff, and it would send Bones running away, hiding from everything that resembled an honest emotion.
So he'd wait and bide his time. He'd make innuendos he hoped she'd pick up on. And he'd keep having his beautiful dreams about them finally bridging that gap from friends to lovers.
