Another day another smile. They're just partners in this although I would go ahead and remove any pesky additional significant others from the equation in this case. No I still don't own them.

Scrape

"We should really go the hospital Booth. You need to have that checked out." She told me again as we got into the indicating the cut on my arm that I'd gotten chasing the suspect. I glanced down at the gauze that I'd slapped on moments before we left the scene.

"Its fine Bones, it's just a little scrape." I told her, it wasn't bleeding too badly; at least I've had worse.

"Booth that is most definitely more than a scrape. You probably need stitches." She said twisting in her seat so that she could lift the gauze and look at it. "At least 12 I would say." She re-secured the gauze.

"It's really not that bad Bones, I'm going to be fine." I told her bracingly trying to get her to stop worrying.

She pulled out her phone, "Booth it's nearly through to the bone, you need stitches." She told me imploringly. "Even heroes have to get stitches from time to time. It doesn't make you any braver if you refuse medical attention. It just makes you stupid."

I scoffed "I'm not stupid."

"You are if we don't go get that stitched up you're going to have massive scaring and it'll be detrimental to your muscle mass." She told me.

"Bones, you're just trying to scare me."

She was almost whining, "Booth this is ridiculous. I'm not going to think anything less of you if we go and get you stitches. If you don't go to the hospital I'm going to call Cam and have her stitch you up in the autopsy room." She threatened, scrolling through her contacts.

I shuddered at the thought of being stitched up on the stainless steel table. I looked over at her; she had her thumb hovering over the call button threateningly. "Fine." I grumbled pulling into the turn lane so that we could go to George Washington.

"Thank you." She told me smiling as she closed her phone.

"You really think I'm a hero?" I asked her.

She looked at me skeptically, "Of course I think you're a hero. To begin with you have numerous commendations and awards from our government that define you as a hero." She paused, "Plus over our tenure as partners you have been a hero on numerous occasions, saving both me and others. Not necessarily because it is your job, but because it is in your very nature."

"It's my nature to be a hero hun?" I asked her as I swung the truck into the parking lot, wincing as the motion jostled my arm.

"Yes." She answered simply before climbing out of the truck.

I followed, "Am I your hero?" I asked her as the hospitals doors opened.

She looked and me and smiled. "Only when you're not refusing medical treatment." Then she walked over to the front desk, "I have Special Agent Seeley Booth, he's in need of stitches." She told the nurse.

I smiled a little: I'm her hero.

Who doesn't want a hero like Seeley Booth? I hope I made you smile.

Now fair warning I'm going on vacation starting tomorrow and when I get back I have a two day drive to school so unforunately I won't be able to post as many of these put frequently but I have some stock piled so there will be smiles coming your way.

I really appreciate you guy and your reviews, have a lovey week, and until next time remember that everything happens eventually and Hart Hanson was excited about being named number 1 on a list of couples that should break up. that couple being Booth and any one who isn't Brennan.
