Losing
You can't lose him.
It sounds weak and pathetic to admit to that, but you know it's true, deep down. Life without Seeley Booth wouldn't be remotely barable. You found this out when you thought he was gone forever, during the two worst weeks of your life.
However, those weeks had been nothing compared to the past twenty four hours. The thought you could save him, but you weren't trying hard enough? You hated Hodgins. You hated yourself. Afterall, if you had only offered your help to Hodgins with the case, maybe he wouldn't have needed to steal the evidence. You could have gone through the appropriate channels to get it. Or maybe not, considering who was in charge of the case, but that didn't matter to you.
In the end, you found him. But you were close, so close, too close to not making it in time to save him. The explosion whirled around you as you threw yourself at him, beyond relieved to have him back, and held him tightly.
No, losing him was not an option, which was why this time, you weren't planning to let go, not even for a second.
