One of our favorite episodes is up: Santa in the Slush and so I decide to write what Caroline was thinking with the blackmailing to get our first kiss.
3.9 – The Santa in the Slush – Caroline
Dr. Brennan wants me to arrange a trailer at the jail for her and her family at Christmas since both her father and her brother were in jail. If they got the trailer then she, Russ's girlfriend, and their daughters could all be together for the holiday with their incarcerated family members. It would easy to do, in truth Booth's honest to god genius has grown on me, and I would definitely do it for her. But I saw an opportunity in this request.
I told her that she would have to kiss Booth under the mistletoe for… five steamboats should be plenty, in order to get the trailer. I figured that this would be the perfect time to break some of the sexual tension that my favorite pair of partners is always carrying around. I figure that if they actually kiss they won't be able to ignore the evidence in front of them: they are attracted to each other. If she really wanted out of it she could have convinced me to do something else but she put up a half hearted effort and much to my surprise she didn't even let Booth know until moments before, so that he didn't have a chance to try and get out of this.
She laughed at first and then she wanted to know why, she really didn't even try to convince me of something else. She was just trying to figure out why I would ask something like that, I've got a puckish side what can I say. I left her standing at the elevator bank holding the coffee I'd given up on. She looked a little confused but I swear as the doors closed I saw her smiling.
I walked into her office to find them both there, mistletoe hanging and Dr. Brennan chewing gum. It was awkward at first they both looked at each other smiling a little bit. Then she grabbed his coat lapels and pulled him towards her. Their lips met and there weren't really any fireworks, until he tried to pull away. She changed the angle and tightened her hold on his coat. My mouth dropped, look at these two with their just partner's routine.
When they separated they gave me some story about how it was like kissing her brother, she must really like her brother was all I could come up with I was in shock. I couldn't believe the two of them, they'd just been kissing in a way that isn't not at all family like and here they were brushing it off as nothing. I left I couldn't handle hearing any more excuses from these two. One day they were going figure it out.
The next day I got a call from the warden at the jail, apparently, an Agent Booth was at the jail he wanted to set up a tree in the courtyard of the jail and power it from his car. They needed my ok to do that, I told the warden that it was fine to let him in. I smiled once I hung up. The man figured out how to get her a tree when there wasn't supposed to be a way to at all. Sexual tension wasn't their only problem; he was in love with her that was the only explanation.
Reviews, this is one of my favorite. Who knows if you review maybe will get more Booth and Brennan kisses in the future. Although I can't actually promise that give that I have no control of the writers despite all of my wishes that I did.
