Chapter 8.

"Maybe I need one more day" he said.

"Yeah, maybe" she smiled at him.

He closed his eyes to rest while she laid down next to him this time. She laid her head by his shoulder and her arm rested on his chest with her hand over his heart.

Together they laid resting for a while. Brennan woke up after about an hour and noticed that it had started to get darker and the sky were now more cloudy than before.

'Great' she thought. 'Just what we needed, rain.'

Just as she had thought this, the sky opened up and heavy rain poured down.

Booth flickered his eyelids when he felt the heavy raindrops come down on him. He grunted when he opened his eyes and caught a couple of drops of rain in them. He blinked a couple of times before he sat up and with the help of Brennan got on his feet. She let go of him and bend down to pick up the blanket and backpack and the weapons. He stood up, a bit dizzy and unstable but he was standing. She took the backpack and threw it up on her back and then she took his arm and put around her neck and steadied him while the hurried as fast as they could, which was not very fast since her ankle still hurt a bit, to the trees for some shelter at least. They managed to find a very thick-branched pinetree which hardly let through any rain at all. They sat down underneath it. She took out the blanket again and spread it over them both. To get warm they sat very close together, his arm around her neck.

After a couple of hours the rain hadn't stopped yet. All the while they had been sitting close together under the blanket. Nothing needed to be said anymore. They both didn't know anymore why they had been fighting, but they had both silently agreed to stop it. Now they had to manage it back to civilization, although both Brennan and Booth secretly to themselves almost wished that they didn't have to get back. There were something about the wilderness that set them free of everything. They didn't need to hide anything, they didn't need to lie. If they did, it could kill them and they both knew it.

"When we get back" Booth said quietly in her ear, "you must see Spiderman, both of them."

"There are two?"

"Yes, there are. The first one is probably the best and that's where the kiss in the rain is taking place, but the second is not bad."

"You wanna try that again?" she asked.

"What?"

"The kiss."

He lifted his hand to her chin and turned and tilted her head so he could look her into her eyes and said quietly:

"Absolutely."

He slowly moved his lips towards hers and gently brushed them against hers. Slowly and gently he deepened it, parting his lips and she let him explore her mouth. They never wanted to let go of this kiss but sooner or later they had to.

When the air was gone they hesitantly broke the kiss, but the magic was still there although they knew they had to make a proper shelter and a fire to warm up. How that would be possible, they didn't know yet. Everything was to wet to make a fire.

"I can come up with a way or two to keep us warm" Booth said and grinned at her.

"Oh no, you don't. Not now and not out here" she said and laughed at his expression when she said no.
He looked like a child that had been reproved.

"Besides I want the first time between us to be really special" she said and put her hand on his arm.

He smiled and let go of the matter for now. He knew the time would come eventually.

After another couple of hours they had managed together to make a shelter. Booth felt better for every passing minute. Maybe it was her presence that gave him strength or he actually had some kind of immunity towards this snakebite. Maybe the snake hadn't injected so much poison.
When the shelter was done, they went inside and laid down on a bed of pinetree-branches with the blanket over them. To keep warm Brennan laid as close as she could to Booth, she almost lay on top of him. Her arm resting on his chest with her hand over his heart once again. Booth had his arm around her, trying to protect her from the rest of the world.

'Tomorrow we have to be going, otherwise we'll probably never going to be able to go back to civilization' Booth thought.

Brennan had fallen asleep and lay there so beautiful as only she could be. Some strands of her hair had already fallen from her ponytail and had headed towards her face. Booth looked at her and thought that he was the luckiest person in the world right now.
