OMG, I'm a bad person, I just realized that i totally left last season hanging. So to make it up to you all, I have two updates, and I hope that someone it still reading this. I haven't started anything for the new season yet, school has been my whole life for the last few months, but I have a few weeks off and I hope to get caught up with my stories. So thank you to anyone still reading this, and a BIG SORRY to everyone for the VERY long wait. I'll try to never do that again. :o)
They fell asleep with their arms around the other, holding on for dear life. They were both physically and emotionally exhausted after the events of the day, and all they wanted was each other. Neither had moved all night, they were still laying in the middle of the bed with their arms around the other, so it wasn't really a surprise when she woke him.
As soon as she sat up, Booth's eyes popped open and he sat up as well, scanning the room "What's wrong, are you alright?" he asked after a look around the room. Brennan nodded "Yeah." She said, before shaking her head "No…" Booth wrapped an arm around her again and pulled her into his side "I know, I'm sorry." Brennan shook her head again "What kind of person am I?" Booth turned his head to look at her "You're an amazing person." Brennan pulled away from him slightly and shook her head once again "Vincent looked right at me, and begged me not to send him away, like I was the one doing this to him, like I was the one to send people away. What kind of person am I that would make him think I would ever do that to him?"
Booth gave her a sympathetic look "Oh honey no, he was talking to God or the universe or whoever it was he believed in. He wasn't ready to go yet, he didn't want to die. He wasn't talking to you, no one would ever think he was talking to you." He pulled her closer once more "You're the glue that holds up all together, you're the bones and the heart of the team, nobody would ever think that you would send them away. Broadsky did this, and I'll find him and bring him to justice."
Booth turned his head to her once again "It's alright to feel sad, he was your friend, but please don't feel guilty, none of this is your fault."
Brennan nodded and wiped her eyes before looking at Booth. He was everything she had never known she needed, but in this moment, like so many others, she was so glad she had found him "Thank you Booth." He gave her a small lopsided smile, and she couldn't help but think that it might really be possible for ones heart to melt a little, even without extreme heat. So she couldn't really help but lean forward slightly and connect her lips to his.
They didn't know what tomorrow would bring, they didn't know how they were going to catch the man that killed their friend, and they didn't know how they had been lucky enough to find the other. But they did know that they had a moment right now to be together, just the two of them, and they weren't going let anything stop them. Everything else could wait until the morning, but this moment was something that they both knew could not.
