(Complain)
Thank you for reviewing my story. I appreciate it.
I don't own Bones.
Oooooooooooooooooo
"Complain?" Uncertain what was going on, Brennan shook her head, "What do you mean you don't understand why he doesn't complain more? What good would it do to complain about his condition?"
Sipping her beer, Hannah stared at Brennan with puzzlement. Placing her bottle on the table, the reporter replied, "The man is in pain when he wakes up. He's all stiff and it takes him a little while to get moving. You'd think he'd at least go to a doctor about it or something. He just . . . he just lives with it and I don't understand why. He needs to complain to his doctor."
Reluctant to talk about Booth's medical condition, Brennan sighed, "Booth has sustained many injuries in his life. His bones have been affected and he usually is in pain in the morning or if he puts too much stress on his body. He works out to help maintain a proper body weight so he doesn't put more strain on his bones and he soaks in his tub. Both of those things help relieve his pain. He usually is fine once he's awake and he starts to move around."
Hannah felt like she wasn't getting the entire story about her boyfriend so she asked, "But why not take pain medicine? It would help him a lot."
Her reluctance growing, Brennan shook her head, "I can't discuss Booth's medical history. If you wish to know the answer to that question you need to ask him."
Irritated, Hannah tapped her finger on the table, "Why do you know his medical history and I don't? I'm living with him. We're a couple. He needs to share more."
Leaning forward and lowering her voice, Brennan replied, "Booth is a very private person. I know about his medical history because I'm his partner. He counts on me to support him just as I count on him to support me. It's what partners do."
A little exasperated with Brennan's answer, Hannah shook her head, "If I didn't know better, I'd say you two were more than partners. Half the time he acts like you're his girlfriend instead of me. I know you two aren't having a physical relationship, but I've never had a partner trust me like he trusts you. It's just kind of weird."
Shrugging her shoulders, Brennan replied, "Booth is my partner not my boyfriend. Our relationship is built on trust and respect. I cannot give you any personal information about Booth. I will not jeopardize my partnership."
Sipping more beer, Hannah finally set the bottle down and replied, "It's a good thing I'm not a jealous person. . . . Okay, I'll ask him tonight. You're off the hook."
Hannah's metaphor a little confusing, Brennan decided to let it go. It didn't really matter to her anyway.
Oooooooooooooooooo
Sorry, that's what popped into my head.
