A/N: This was originally going to be a one shot, but I decided to expand on it. I don't know exactly how long the story will end up, depends on how far I can stretch my muse. I might go into reactions with the next chapter, but I am not sure. This one is basically just fluff—with a little serious. But mostly fluff. And it is a tad short. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Bones. Wish I did—but I don't.
He opened his eyes and saw Bones resting her head on her elbow and studying his face.
"Good morning." He said groggily.
"Morning, Booth. Would you like some coffee?"
"How long have you been awake? What time is it?" He looked at the clock behind her. 7:00. "It's only 7:00, Bones. You already made coffee?"
"I'm an early riser, Booth. I woke up at 6:00, made coffee, took a shower, got dressed, and read the newspaper. All without waking you up, I might add. You are a very heavy sleeper, Booth."
"Wow, you do more before 7:00 than I do all day on the weekends." He pulled back the covers and got out of bed. Then he noticed the cup of coffee sitting on the table next to him. "Thanks, Bones. You didn't have to make me a cup; I could've gotten it myself."
"I wanted to, Booth. You do little things for me all the time. I wanted to do something kind for you this morning. Besides, isn't this what girlfriends do?"
He smirked at her. "Girlfriend? Is that what you think you are?"
She looked confused. "Well, although I find the term juvenile, seeing as I am—in fact—a woman and not a girl, I could not find an accurate term to describe my role in your life. What term do you suggest, Booth?"
He leaned over to her and kissed her lips softly before resting his forehead against hers. "You are—and forever will be—my partner. In every sense of the word. I knew you would think 'girlfriend' and 'boyfriend' were 'juvenile terms' so I thought about it last night and decided that 'partners' is the only term I can use to describe our relationship."
"I love you, Booth." She said with tears in her eyes. "I don't know that I have ever felt the way I feel right now. I know that I cannot remember being as happy as I am right now in my entire adult life. Thank you, Booth. Thank you for helping me understand. Thank you for helping me grow. Thank you for helping me lose my imperviousness."
He wiped a tear from her cheek and lovingly kissed her lips. "I love you too, Bones. So much. Thank you for being you. Thank you for allowing me to love you. Thank you for loving me, for helping me catch murderers, for loving my son, for everything. You have an amazingly open heart, Bones. I wish you could see yourself the way I see you."
She looked at him shyly. "Booth?"
"Yes, Bones?"
"I find that I would like to break the laws of physics."
"Why, Bones, are you trying to seduce me?"
"As a matter of fact I am." She grabbed his shirt and laid down on the bed, pulling him with her. Their lips touched and both knew that there was no turning back.
"We are going to be so late for work." He said as he pulled his shirt over his head.
