Jack Hodgins hissed in pain when a random person ran into his arm. He glared at the kid, who quickly ran off. He shook his head and turned back to Zack and Dr. Brennan. The three of them were on their way into the bar to meet the rest of their team after solving a case.
"Dr. Hodgins, are you alright?" asked Zack Addy, as the trio entered the bar.
"I'm fine," Hodgins replied, trying to dismiss his friend's concern. When the kid ran into his arm, it had hurt a lot, but that was only because of his new tattoo. He had had the one of Angela removed when he began dating Hadrian Potter-Black. The first time they slept together, it had been rather awkward after Hadrian had seen the tattoo and Hodgins had been forced to explain it was his ex-girlfriend. And, just recently, Hodgins had a new of Hyacinthus tattooed there.
As the three scientists joined their friends, Hodgins noticed that Angela was there with Roxie, her girlfriend. The pair stole a glance at him before moving a little closer together. Hodgins merely ignored them. He was over Angela now, he was crazy about Hadrian in fact, but he still had yet to tell his friends about them. He was pretty sure that Zack didn't even know about Hadrian, even those his boyfriend practically lived in the mansion.
The group of seven friends and co-workers - plus Roxie - talked and drank at a table while Hogdins sent Hadrian a text with the address of the bar. Maybe it was time the team met him. Before he had a chance to returned his cell phone to his pocket, Hodgins hissed as a drunk twenty-something bumped into him and sent both of them to the ground and his cell phone out of his hand. That really hurt.
Hodgins growled at the drunken young adult as his laughing friends pulled him up and continued to guided him out of the bar. Zach and Booth helped Hodgins to his feet as the groups attention centered around their fallen friend.
"Dr. Hodgins, are you alright?" asked Camille Saroyan.
"I'm fine," Hodgins declared as he shook Booth's and Zach's hands off of him.
"That's the second time," Zack stated, "that Hodgins has reacted when someone came into contact with his arm."
"That arm?" asked Angela Montenegro, pointing at the arm the drunk young male ran into. She looked a little uncomfortable. She knew it was the arm with Hodgins' tattoo - the tattoo she still thought was of her.
"Yes," replied Temperance Brennan. "Perhaps we should check to make sure everything's alright."
"It's fine!" exclaimed Hodgins, quickly - a little too quickly judging by the look Lance Sweets was throwing at him. Hodgins refused to groan. He really hated that kid at times - and this was one of them.
"Nonsense," declared Special Agent Seeley Booth with a smirk. "Let's check."
Hodgins scowled at the FBI agent. He was getting back at the scientist for earlier.
Zack, Booth and Brennan all then continued to remove Hodgins' jacket from his arm and roll up the sleeve of his long-sleeved shirt.
"Why do you have a Griffin tattoo?" asked Zack.
Angela made a noise, but Hodgins didn't pay any attention to her.
Someone approaching the group chuckled.
Hodgins glanced over and he smiled. Hadrian Potter-Black was approaching the group with a drink in-hand. Hadrian smiled at his boyfriend, his jade eyes sparkling with laughter.
The multimillionaire scientist shook his friends off as he moved to greet his lover. He pulled Hadrian into a kiss in front of the group, effectively introducing them to his someone special. The pair pulled apart a handful of seconds later and Hodgins laced his fingers with Hadrian's before pulling the younger man towards to table.
"Guys, this is Hadrian Potter-Black," Hodgins said as Hadrian leaned against him and nodded to his lover's friends.
Hyacinthus: In Greek mythology, when Apollo accidentally killed Hyakinthos, a lily arose from his blood. It's derived from name of the hyacinth flower.
Note on Drabble: I had a rather hard time writing the Bones characters. While I'm a fan of the show, I hardly read any fanfiction about, let alone write any. So, I'm afraid my characterization is off.
Note of Creativity: I pretended that Zack never went anywhere. If I remember correctly, Zack was locked up when Hodgins and Angela broke up and Hodgins got the tattoo of her.
Announcement: As of July 06, 2014, this drabble was upgraded into a oneshot as part of If Wishes Were Boggarts Collection. The upgraded version is entitled The Change in the Tattoo, which is het with a pairing between Jack Hodgins and female!Harry Potter.
