Quiet Evening.

Brennan sat down in her office after a long day of investigating with Booth. It was late and she was finishing up some paper work. The case they had been working was difficult but they did catch their killer. And for that she was glad. A foster child had been killed by his foster parents, because he was too much of a handful. Wasn't what they had expected, they got too overwhelmed and snapped. The case made her think about her own upbringings, foster homes she'd been to, and the reason behind all of it.

She was fifteen when her parents mysteriously disappeared. It was just her and Russ for a short time. He'd tried many times to make up for their absence but she just shut him out.

She didn't have any idea why they were gone or the circumstances they had left under. She didn't know about their criminal ties or the awful people who they knew would be looking for her.

All she knew was she was alone. Russ, thinking she'd be better off without him, left. With not so much as a farewell. She remembered the rejection, the pain that was added to her heart as she watched him go. That was when she was thrown into the system. Foster care. Shrugged off like an unwanted item. Just another unfortunate orphan being moved from place to place, seeking comfort and some form of affection anywhere she could find it. But that stage only lasted briefly.

That's when it started. When she started building her walls. When she started to hide behind logic and reason. It was all she had. At that age she wasn't very pretty, or popular. The only reason she had ever fit in was because of Russ. Now he was gone and she was left an outcast. Throughout the next few years she was placed in numerous different foster homes. Some of the families were friendly. Others were the exact opposite.

She dealt with abuse and neglect but she trudged on and those walls, they got higher and higher. Until He came along.

She had found him over confident and cocky in the very beginning. But as she spent more and more time with him, she realized she was completely wrong.

This man was compassionate, loving, kind, smart, protective and her best friend. Seeley Booth. The man who looked at her walls and instead of declaring her as a lost cause, he stayed and knocked them down, slowly and carefully.

They had real chemistry that was built upon trust and caring about one another. He had helped her through so much, and she did the same for him. They had stood over death together, been happy, been sad, laughed, cried. They had something special. She had never known anything like this.

She wouldn't know what to do if he ever left her and that scared her. Alot. She'd never been this dependent on someone since the age of fifteen. What if things didn't work out the way she hoped they would? Everything would be ruined. Their partnership, their friendship. Everything. She didn't know if she could take that risk.

But being rational she thought about both sides of that argument and was reminded of everything that could go right. Just thinking about his warm, reassuring, chocolate brown eyes...she forgot about all the negatives. the positives outweighed the negatives a million to one. She knew that he was worth it. If she could be with him for the rest of her life, then she was willing to go the distance, to cross the careful line they'd set so long ago.

She got up from her desk and sat on her couch just as he was walked into her office. The case had affected him as well and he was looking a bit weary. She knew how hard he took it whenever a case involved a child. He sat down next to her and sighed reclining back. She focused her gaze on him and he did the same. He saw a strand of hair in front of her eyes and brushed it back, tracing her jaw line. Her breath was crashing like waves across his face and all he wanted to do was get closer to her, but before he could even inch forward she grabbed him and planted a gentle kiss on his lips.

She pulled away and smiled at him, amused at his slightly stunned face. Then suddenly his soft lips were on hers again, speaking every unspoken word between them. He put his hand through her hair and she traced his lower lip with her tongue. Teasing him. He let out a moan and their kiss grew more passionate with each passing second. Eventually they pulled apart, their breath coming much quicker then usual. He leaned his forehead against hers and smiled.

"I love you." he whispered in her ear. Her breath hitched and a shiver went down her spine. A shiver of desire.

"I love you too Booth." she whispered back quietly. And she knew she meant it.

"It took you long enough." Booth chuckled, scooting closer to kiss her again. He could get used to this.
