Brennan: Wait outside while I get dressed.
Booth: No! Uh uh! Sun's been up for an hour out there - it's already the surface of Mercury! I can stand here, close my eyes, eat my donut - it's the best I can do.

He Peaked

Booth sat down on the bed and very diliberately and very dramatically shut his eyes. Bones and Angela looked at each other before Angela went into another room to leave the two alone. Booth sat there munching on his doughnut with his eyes closed. Bones still hadn't moved from the bed.

"Are you going to change or are you going to sit there and watch me eat my doughnut with my eyes closed?" Booth asked.

Bones slid out from under the covers on the other side of the bed and walked to her bag.

Having felt Bones get out of the bed, Booth scooted up against the pillows and laid back. His eyes were still closed.

"What are you doing?" Bones asked. She had gotten out the clothes she wanted to change into, but she wasn't so sure about undressing with Booth in the room. It was weird.

"I'm just laying down for a minute, Bones. Look, my eyes are still closed. See? And I'm still eating my doughnut." He took a large bite to show her that he was, in fact, eating his doughnut.

Bones looked at him suspiciously as she quickly exchanged her short shorts for pants. Before taking off her shirt, she looked at Booth to make sure his eyes were still closed. Then she quickly put her bra on and pulled on her shirt.

Booth cracked his eyes open as she pulled her shirt off. He gritted his teeth to keep from audibly groaning. He was looking at Bones, his partner, who happened to be naked from the waist up...until she put her bra on, followed by her shirt. He quickly squeezed his eyes shut so she wouldn't know he'd been looking.

"Booth!" Bones said, alarmed.

Booth's eyes automatically popped open. "What?" he asked, thinking he'd been caught.

"You dropped your doughnut on the sheets! You--" She stopped. "Throw it away, eat it, just...get it off the sheets."

Booth looked properly chastised as he picked up the doughnut and tossed it in a waste basket. He turned to her with a charming smile. "Nice birthmark," he said cheekily. Louder, "Angela! We're ready to go!"

Bones watched him go with a frown before realizing what that implied. "You said you would shut your eyes!" she yelled at his retreating back.

Angela came into the room. "What was that?"

"He peeked!" Bones said with wide eyes.

Angela smirked at her friend. "That was his plan all along. He's a man, you're a woman. You changed in the same room...if he hadn't peeked, I'd be a little worried." She patted Bones on the shoulder. "It'll be okay, Bren."

Bones followed Angela to Booth's vehicle, thinking. He peeked. Maybe she would return the favor at one point.

END

A/N-This was just begging to be written. It was a one-shot, but I left the possibility of a sequel open (Maybe she would return the favor at one point.) I have major writer's block for my other stories so I decided to take a little break and write this.
