Wow, good to know no one wants anything bad to happen to Mr. Booth.

And okay, okay, I know I'm horrible and evil for hurting poor FB-Eye candy guy, but things like that are needed to get some fluffy scenes…

This chapter is dedicated to everyone who asked me to make Brennan take care of injured Booth and making them spend the night together at the cottage. :)

"BOOTH!" Brennan yelled, almost lying over him. "Come on, Booth! Wake up!"

She hated it. Hated it. It would be okay if it was the first time she was in that position, but unfortunately, she had been like that many times before, which didn't mean she would ever get used to that situation. Seeing her partner unconscious freaked her out.

"BOOTH! Please!" She begged and slapped his face lightly. The rain didn't feel any sympathy about them and kept falling hardly from the sky.

Booth started moving under her and she held a breath. Thank God.

He squished his eyes before opening them slowly to watch a pair of striking blue eyes staring back at him. Drops of water fell from her hair and into his face and Booth wasn't sure if what was running down his partners cheeks were rain or tears. He was quite certain it was both.

Either way, he realized it wasn't a bad thing having her face as the first thing he saw after he was knocked out. The tears and the rain made her eyes look even more unbelievably blue. It wasn't something usual to see Dr. Temperance Brennan like that, all wet and in a mess.

Seeley Booth really appreciated that vision, though.

"Are you retarded or just plain stupid?" She finally opened her mouth to ask him, not sure if she should hug him or kill him for keeping acting like a hero.

"Whoa, you're welcome, Bones." He said, staying still underneath her body. He was strangely enjoying being there. "It was really my pleasure to save your life."

"No, it was a very idiotic attitude." She creased her forehead and told him seriously. When would he understand she didn't want him to keep trying to save her and getting hurt because of that?

"Would you rather to stay there under that tree with your genius brain squeezed under the branch?" He asked sarcastically. That woman was really infuriating.

"Yes." She answered right away, looking into his eyes.

"What the hell?" Booth wondered if she was being ironic or maybe trying to do a stupid joke, but all he could see in her eyes was honesty.

"You have to stop trying to be a hero all the time, Booth! I don't want you risking your life like that every time you think I'm under any kind of harm!" She spat and poked his chest a little harder than she intended to do. He was stupid, she knew that, but he did get hurt because of her, it wasn't a very nice thing to give him another bruise as a thank you. "Maybe the alpha male in you tells you you are invincible, but you are not, Booth! Next time you might not be that lucky!"

Brennan quivered remembering those cloud days in her life where she would be practically only a body working on automatic. When they told her her partner was dead because of the bullet he took and that was meant for her, Brennan saw her entire world falling apart. She really hoped she would never have to go through that ever again.

"You know this is all your fault, right? If you hadn't been so stubborn and went out of that door as a bullet and into a storm, I wouldn't have to follow you and save your life." In her dreams she would blame him for that. He raised his head a little bit when he said that, making their faces get really close.

"And if you didn't have your hero complex or had annoyed me so much, that wouldn't happen in the first place!" She said through gritted teeth, tilting her head down a little bit.

"Yeah, instead I would be taking your body to the MLI right now!" That was it. Their faces were one inch apart, but when she heard that, Brennan realized she allowed her emotions surpass her logic.

His words left her speechless. He really had saved her life. But she was so desperate when she saw him lying down unconscious at the floor because he tried to save her again that all she could do was want to kill him with her own bare hands for always putting himself in danger to make sure she was safe. She wasn't any kind of damsel in distress needing her knight in shining armor all the moment having to save her ass.

"Seeing you unconscious and vulnerable like that freak me out, Booth." Brennan admitted ashamed, leaving the angry tone on her voice behind and leaning back in a sitting position before Booth could stretch his arm and caress her face.

Booth frowned. He was enjoying having her lying over him.

"I wouldn't have to do that if you didn't get yourself into so many troubles." He smirked.

"I don't get in trouble very much." She knitted her brow.

"Oh, come on, Bones, who are you kidding? You're practically a trouble magnet!" He let out a laugh.

"I'm not." She grimaced.

"Oh, right. Serial killer trying to get your ass, gravedigger, voodoo guy, murderer who killed his brother taking you out on a date, crazy fans using your books as an inspiration to crimes in real life, jealous professor trying to screw you at court, insane woman trying to shoot you-"

"That was your fault." She reminded him. How could that woman think Booth loved her back then, anyway?

"Whatever." He shrugged. "What I mean, Bones, is that all that pretty much scream trouble magnet to me."

"Like you aren't one yourself." She rolled her eyes. "Are you hurt?"

"No, I'm fine." He said trying to stand up. "I just fell when the branch hit me, but I don't think I got anything more serious than a couple of scratches and bruises."

"You collapsed, Booth. You have to go to the hospital to see if there's something on your brain." Brennan said worried.

"I'm fine, Bones." He assured her.

"You said the same after you fell on the ice skating rink and you remember how that one ended."

"I'm fiiiine, Bones!" He accepted the hand she reached out for him. "OUCH!"

"Yeah, you really look fine." She laughed sarcastically as he tried to stand on his foot. "Come here, lean on me. I think you broke your ankle."

"Are you going to let me lean on you?" He smirked.

"Yes, I don't think you'll be able to walk back to the cottage by yourself."

"Does it mean you're not mad at me anymore?" He waggled his eyebrows at her.

"No." She gave him a contempt gaze, but he noticed her lips twitching in what was probably a smile trying to appear.

"Bones, are you sure you know what you're doing?" Booth looked at her unsure as she lifted the sheath of his pants to check his swollen ankle.

After leaving him safe inside the cottage, Brennan came back to the car to get the first aid kit Booth kept there. The rain didn't stop and they still didn't have any way to contact the car security, so she would have to do whatever she could with what she had in that kit.

"Of course I know." She answered and squinted to look at his legs. "You didn't nickname me 'Bones' only because it annoyed me, Booth. I know what I'm doing."

"Oooooouch, Bones!" He screamed when she squeezed the ankle. "What the hell you are doing?"

"Twisted ankle." She bitted her lips and looked at him sympathetically. "At least it's not broken."

"Crap." Booth grimaced as she putted a bandage around the wound.

"You know what this means, right?" She asked.

"What?"

"You probably won't be able to drive for like, the next three weeks… at least." She raised her eyes to look at him.

"Oh, great. Now I'm getting it." He let out a laugh and leaned back on the chair he was sitting. "You did all that in purpose so you could spend all those days driving!" He teased her.

"I did not!" She opened her mouth in an 'o' shape. "How can you possibly think I would do something like that, Booth?"

He chuckled.

"I was just teasing you, Bones." He smiled at her. "What are we going to do now?"

"Well… I don't think the storm is going to stop anytime soon." Brennan lifted her neck to look outside the window. "I guess we'll have to spend the night here."

Ah, I just started another post-finale multi-chapter fic. I know… it seems like I really can't have only one story on going…

It's very different from this one, much more drama but will definitely have a happy ending.

I would love if you checked it and tell me what you think. :)

The name is "What Was Left Unsaid" and you can find the link in my profile.

Oh, and don't worry, I won't abandon this one. ;)
