So. So so so sorry for not having this up sooner, I've written this three times now and have had tons of ideas of what could happen next. But I think this one is the right now. -crossesfingers-
I want to thank everyone who has favorited this story and reviewed it! Keep it coming, they tend to get me writing more.
Anyways. Zack's POV.
I do not own Bones or the characters of it.

"Zack, you know your driving Sweets totally crazy. He keeps coming to me and complaining. Which has brought me to complain to you." I can't help the slight smile that comes to my face at your words as we find ourselves in our normal places with a table between us.
"How so? I answer his questions." I state this simply, blinking ever so slightly, but the smile sticks which makes you laugh.
"Because you show no guilt." The laughter has stopped. And you look at me with those eyes that break my heart. Even though your not mad, your still judging me. Why should I feel guilt when I never killed? But you don't know this fact, Jack. And I plan on keeping it that way. You'd fight for a lighter sentence that I don't deserve.
You raise an eyebrow as I don't answer. Shit Hodgins. You got to stop doing that. How uneasy you make me. How you make me want to tell you the truth.
"I just... don't. I know it was wrong. But I did what I was asked." And that is the truth, just while leaving out the main facts. Its not something I normally do. I always put in the facts. But, I guess after recent events had changed all that.
"Zack..." Your voice. Its clearly uneasy and I have to look away. Its truly heart breaking. And it makes the pain in my hands hurt even more.
"Please Hodgins. Please. Just... drop it..." I cannot do this. I really can't. To disappoint you, it hurts.
And we sit here in silence for a few moments, not looking at each other. Or rather, me not looking at you.
And you ruffle my hair before pulling my chin up, making me look up. As much as you know how much I hate it, you do it. And all I can do is let it happen.
I hate this. I hate all the hiding, the lying. I wish things could go back to how they were before. But that wont happen. It can't happen. I made my choice without even knowing it. And now I have to live with it.
"I know your hiding something Zack. I've known you for too long and better then anyone else. But I wont make you tell me right now. Just... Promise me you will, at some point."
I try to answer but you wont let me. You do the one thing that always shuts me up. You put your lips against my skin, though my forehead this time. But even so I feel myself froze in place, finding it hard to catch my breath. The pain in my hands seemed to melt, even just for a moment though, as ridiculous as it sounds.
By the time I had could respond again though, you were walking from the room, leaving me alone and with my mouth open as I tried to find words that couldn't be said.

I know. Short. TT_TT After such a long time of leaving you with nothing. But I'm already getting ideas for the next chapter, so it really shouldn't be as long this time loves.
Reviews are loved and will keep me working. xD
