Superhero
"I'm telling you, Bones...I would make a great vampire!" Booth followed Brennan into her office, settling down on her sofa as she stopped behind her desk to boot up her computer.
"No, Booth. You wouldn't. You love being out in the sun too much. Although..." Brennan tilted her head slightly, considering. "You do love extremely rare meat and you are definitely not a morning person. That could work in your favor."
"See? Perfect vampire! Plus-" Booth was interrupted by the appearance of Angela entering the office.
"Who's a perfect vampire?" She asked, looking between Booth and Brennan.
"Booth claims he would make a good vampire, although I doubt the veracity of that claim." Brennan refrained from rolling her eyes for the millionth time that morning.
"Hmmm." Angela regarded Booth with a practiced eye. "Dark, broody, slightly dangerous...hey! Has anyone ever told you that you look an awful lot like that vampire from Buffy? Angel?"
Brennan sighed. "Yes, Angela. We were watching Angel last night, that's what started the discussion. Booth has a strikingly similar facial structure to the actor who plays Angel, and when I pointed that out it began this ridiculous conversation."
"Strikingly similar?!? You've got to be kidding! You two could be twins!" Angela shook her head, unable to believe that she hadn't noticed it before. "Really. And you're not just alike in looks, either."
Booth sat forward, warming to the discussion. "Really now. And what else do I have in common with a sexy vampire?" He wiggled his eyebrows at Angela, goading her into her practiced response.
"Besides the sexy part?" She accommodated Booth in his compliment grope fest, then went on. "Well, he's a champion. He protects the innocent and weak. He's done some things he's not proud of, but underneath he's a good person who strives to do the right thing after all is said and done, sometimes at great personal risk. In short, you're both superheroes."
Booth blushed furiously while Brennan nodded vigorously. "That's definitely you, Seeley."
Angela whipped her head around. "Seeley? Really now...." She sauntered closer to her best friend, taking her first really good look at her all day. "Hmmm...I see another thing you and Angel have in common."
Suddenly wary, Booth asked, "And what's that, Ang?"
Pointing to the obvious marks on Brennan, she grinned merrily. "You both like to suck on women's necks."
