She sat at her desk, typing her new novel while munching on a granola bar. Brennan seemed... relaxed. It surprised her how calm she felt. Ever since she's been kidnapped she has been on edge. Constantly checking her doors to make sure they were locked, she bought a mace keychain since Booth wouldn't give her a gun, if she was staying late at the lab she made sure there was a guard in the lab. She was always on high alert. Except today. She felt calm, safe, secure. She didn't know why she felt this way but she didn't worry about it too much. She was content with life and now she felt comfortable to do this...
Booth walked into the lab in search of his partner. They were slowly getting back to normal between the pair; they were going out to eat after cases, spending time together after work and him dragging her out of the lab to eat. Booth was relieved that things were getting back to normal. He was working hard to prove to Brennan that he cared for her deeply and that she can trust him once more. Things were going great so he believed that he would gain her trust once more. He spotted her in her office and trotted his way over,
"Hiya Bones. I'm here to drag you to dinner. So lets go." She looked up and laughed at his playful demanding tone. She shut her computer off and went to grab her coat but was too late. He already had it in his hands and held it open for her to step into. She smiled at him as he helped her put her coat on.
"Okay lets go!" He turned to leave when she grabbed his arm. She turned him around and kissed him. He was shocked but quickly realized what was going on and kissed her back hard. With her arms around his neck and his hands on her waist they kissed until they were out of breath. They pulled apart and stared into each others eyes.
"...wow..." He said dumbfounded. She laughed. "Not that I didn't enjoy that very much why did you kiss me?" She sighed and spoke, still with her arms around his neck,
"I was sitting at my desk before writing when something dawned on me. I am really calm right now. I have been so nervous and still a bit angry since I was kidnapped and it was just before that I realized that I am not angry anymore. I.. I forgive you Booth. I forgive everyone for what happened then I began thinking about us and how I trust you with my life and my heart and I don't want to be without you anymore so I-" He cut off her rambling by pulling her into a deep kiss once more. They kissed for a long time until they pulled apart. He rested his forehead against hers and spoke,
"Thank you Bones. I'm sorr-" She placed a finger on his lips and spoke softly,
"No. No more apologizing. What happened is in the past. We are okay and we will be okay." They both tried to keep the tears at bay. They pulled apart entirely and she grabbed his hand.
"Come on. Let's go eat and we can talk more." He could only nod as they began their journey out of the lab and into their new life together.
