Okay so I combined two points of view for this chapter... LEAVE COMMENTS!! Are you enjoying this story?? Do you hate it??


I could tell he was tired, I was too, I just couldn't seem to get comfortable and fall asleep. Logically that made sense since we were sitting on the couch and now laying in our beds. Booth kept nodding off and every time his head fell back it woke him up again. I laid my head down on his lap and closed my eyes. I knew I wouldn't sleep well, if at all but knew that he would move so that he was holding me a bit more and then his head wouldn't keep flopping and he would stay asleep once he fell asleep.

I woke up a half hour later and sure enough he had fallen asleep. I slowly sat up, he did not wake up, I went into his bedroom and pulled back the blankets and fluffed up the pillows before walking back to the living room. "Come on Seeley lets go to bed to actually sleep." I whispered into his ear. He did not even wake up when I pulled his arm around my shoulder and pulled him up and led him into his bedroom. I helped him into the bed and pulled the blanket up to his chest before crossing to the other side and climbing into bed next to him.

I had just started to fall asleep when he rolled over and put his arm around me, in sleep he was quite the snuggler, something that I definitely did not picture of my partner. Though he is always the protector and has male tendencies he did show a lot of affection towards those he truly cared about. I guess I just never saw it before, the affection was his way of seeking comfort while awake, in sleep he was not as stealth. I smiled and snuggled into him and fell asleep.

I did not wake up until nearly noon when Booth rolled over and his arm was no longer holding me. "Good morning Booth." I said rolling over to face him.

"How long have you been awake?" He asked me sleepily.

"Since you rolled over."

"I don't remember coming into bed." He said looking confused.

"Well you cant expect me to sleep on the couch all night so I brought you in here." I told him. Duh. How else would he have gotten in here?

"You brought me? Without waking me up?"

"Yes Booth, you were asleep, I told you that you needed to come into the bedroom and then I led you in here. You would think an Army Ranger wouldn't be so easy to get to do things." I said with a smirk.

"Hmm…" He said obviously trying to figure out how I was able to lead him when no one else would have been able to. Or at least that is what it seemed like to me.


She got me to get up off the couch and walk into my bedroom and to lay down in bed…without me waking up, without me even remembering.

I wake up if even Parker walks into my room when I am sleeping. I woke up when Cam even rolled over in her sleep, or Tessa. How did Bones not wake me up when she got me to go from one room to the other?

"Is it really that shocking to you Booth?" She asked me still smirking.

"Yes Bones. It is, I mean I just don't get it. I cant ever sleep through anything. Hell, usually I cant even sleep."

"Are you going to be paranoid about it until you figure it out?" She asked me her smirkish grin getting even bigger.

"Are you telling me that you know why I didn't wake up?" I asked even more confused.

"Yup."

"I don't think so Bones. There is no way…"

"Booth it is very simple." She said getting out of bed and grabbing her stuff for a shower.

I sat there completely dumbfounded while she took her shower, when she came back in she sat down next to me and whispered something into my ear. Something that made everything make sense. Why she was able to get me to sleep, why she was able to get me to walk from one room to the other, why she always knew what to say…


I looked around the corner when I walked out of the bathroom, he still hadn't figured it out. I went over and sat down on the bed next to him and whispered, "Trust Booth. Unconditional trust."

I got up and went out to the kitchen to start making breakfast. He needed time to figure it out. I heard him go in and start the shower. The French toast was finished by the time he came out and I sat a few slices on a plate and handed it to him and carried my own over to the table where I covered it with maple syrup. I handed him the bottle when I had finished with it because I knew he would use all that was left.

"Bones I…" He started talking.

"Booth we are Partners."

"I know but I never thought about it. I mean I have had partners before but it was never like this. I trusted them with my life but I did not trust them nearly as much as I trust you."

"It isn't the first time you know." I said smiling and thinking back to a few months prior.

"Not the first time for what?" He asked confused.

"Not the first time I have gotten you to do something when you were sleeping. I actually didn't think it would work the first time but Angela told me to try it anyway, it was after she figured out she could do it with Hodgins."

"Bones what are you talking about?"

"Seriously Booth, I thought you would for sure wake up but you didn't. It was humorous actually. Angela and I had a laughing fit after."

"Bones?"

I had a hard time talking I was laughing so hard, "It was after Grave Digger. You fell asleep on the couch up on the balcony. Angela dared me to get you to my office without waking you up. She told me to whisper what I was going to do into your ear and then just do it. She said she did it to him the night before. We didn't think it would work on you but…"

"I get it Bones." He said starting to smile.

"See so it is trust, you trust me completely even if you don't like it and I can make you do stuff." I said smiling.

"I love it Bones." He said quietly, "I mean it is kinda weird that you can play me like a pawn but I like that even when I am asleep and must vulnerable I trust you. I haven't ever had that before."
