Ok, direct continuation of Oblivious. I know it's short but the next one-shot should be longer. Hope you like!
Yearning
So close. Oh, he was so close to her.
How did that happen?
Booth wasn't quite sure but he was sure he could practically taste her; his lips tingling in sheer anticipation. That lost little-girl look in her beautiful eyes making him yearn to place the softest, most perfect kiss on her unquestionably delicious lips and just make everything bad disappear.
The hand at the back of her neck tightened unconsciously, and Brennan closed her eyes on a sigh, letting her head fall forward until she was resting her forehead on his chest.
"Hold me." Her words were so low they were almost inaudible, but he heard and immediately wrapped his arms around her as he placed a kiss on the top of her head.
Booth's eyes collided with the third occupant in the room and he mouthed one word. Out.
For a second, Sweets considered fighting the fact that he was getting kicked out of his own office, but one look at Booth's face had him quickly reconsidering that suicidal idea and closing the door softly behind him instead.
Booth closed his eyes and brushed his lips atop her head over and over again. When she trembled slightly, he held her tighter. He wasn't often this close to her, but when he was, it was always the sweetest torture, making everything inside him ache and melt all at the same time.
She looked up at him with wide, bruised eyes. "Thank-you."
"Anytime, Bones," he answered, brushing a kiss against her forehead before releasing her. "Anytime."
One day, he vowed. One day he was going to drown in her eyes and let his lips close that gap in the most spectacular kiss imaginable.

p.s. I know he didn't really kiss her but don't hate me, I'm gonna write about possible first kiss scenarios in a story I'm posting later this weekend.
