2x04 – Hodgins 2

"You want us to do what?" He asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee, and turned to face the other occupants of the lounge area in The Lab.

"Get some money together so we can buy Bones a pet." Booth repeated as he sat down next to Angela on the sofa. He took a sip from his cup.

Angela smiled, looking at the Agent. "What kind of pet?" she asked interested.

"A pig." Booth said with a smile.

"A… pig?" She blinked. "A guinea one?"

Booth looked at her with a cheeky smile. "No. A real one." He offered. "Apparently they are-" he made quotation marks in the air with his fingers. "Very smart, and despite the popular misconception, very clean."

"Brennan wants a pig?" Hodgins could not help asking. Looks like Dr. Brennan will never stop surprising him.

Booth nodded. "Yep. And she's going to name him Jasper." He looked between them, a soft smile on his face.

"I think it's very sweet of you to want to buy Brennan a pet." Angela said suggestively, smiling at the Agent.

Booth bristled. "Hey, there is nothing special about it. I just thought she might be happy to get a pet, especially one she always wanted." He told her, waving his hand in protest.

Hodgins smiled over his cup. Booth, on the other hand, stayed predictable. "I don't know, man." He said, his eyes locking with Angela's sparkling ones. "I don't want to end up on pig-sitting duty when you guys are off the state for a case."

Booth got up, scowling slightly. "Just think about it." He said, pointedly, and stalked off.

Hodgins and Angela grinned at each other.

"Nothing special, my ass." Angela said amused.

Hodgins only grinned wider.

Tbc Hodgins mentions to Zack that Booth wants them all to buy Brennan a pet pig. Seriously, one sentence and we've got so much implication about the relationships (BB, H/Bth, H/Br, H/Z). Kinda miss that now... especially Booth's friendships/interactions with the Squints...

Feedback is greatly appreciated! :)
