"It's completely natural Booth-"
"-I don't care Bones, just drop it!"
"I think Dr. Sweets would find it extremely interesting that you're reluctant to-"
"-Don't you even think about bringing this up with Sweets Bones!"
"But how else are we supposed evolve as partners if we don't address these issues?"
"I don't know about you Bones but I don't have any issues…"
"Booth, you shot a clown".
"A toy clown, it wasn't a real clown! And that's since been resolved…"
"Yes well your reluctance to talk about sex hasn't-"
"-I'm not talking about this anymore Bones okay? End of story."
There was a shot pause when the two partners each let out a deep, irritated sigh.
Brennan clasped her hands together and looked around the waiting room as if pondering and Booth flicked angrily through a magazine (that he didn't understand at all) and huffed and puffed loudly.
"So what is it that bothers you most about sex exactly?" Brennan asked suddenly.
"Oh god."
"I mean you seem to have no problem doing it, just you seem so uncomfortable about talking about it. Has it something to do with your Catholic background?"
"Don't even start ragging on my religion again Bones I am not in the mood. Just let it go!"
"But I think if you just told Dr. Sweets, he might be-"
"No. No Sweets."
"Why?"
"Because he's twelve! The closest he's probably had to the real thing is an experiment with a blow up doll. He's wouldn't know the first thing about having, you know-"
"Sex?" Brennan finished, a little loudly in Booth's opinion.
"Will you keep your voice down?!" Booth hissed through gritted teeth, looking around himself nervously, trying desperately to get her to shut up, she was beginning to draw attention of Sweets' noisy secretary.
"I just don't see why its such a problem Booth-I told you about my sexual conquests…"
Booth shifted in the chair uncomfortably as he cast his mind back to the night before when his partner proceeded to tell him all about her and Sully's… 'romantic liaisons'.
"Yeah Bones I remember…" he mumbled, rubbing the back of his neck, willing desperately for the redness that had now crept up his neck would disappear.
"You know, if you're having trouble with sexual intercourse you could always get some help, you know to help you perform in the bedroom. They have lots of remedies, oils, lotions, even audio/visual demonstrations and books about positions and how to help stimulate-"
"-BONES!" Booth practically roared, he really couldn't believe they were talking about this at all, never mind the fact that they were in the middle of their shrink's waiting room.
"Enough! I don't want to talk about it anymore! My performance in the bedroom is perfectly fine thank you very much. I don't need any lotions or potions or…demonstrations to help stimulate anything, so just knock it off!" Booth yelled, unbeknownst to the fact that during this rant, Dr. Sweets had come out of his office and was now standing behind him, having heard every word.
"Well that's all very good to hear Agent Booth, but if you don't mind I'd like to start our session…" came the highly amused tone of the young psychiatrist.
Booth jumped up off the couch and began to fidget nervously as his partner stood also and began walking in through the office doorway where Sweets stood.
Seeing the Agent's obvious discomfort Sweets smirked, "Agent Booth, would you like to join us?" he asked, gesturing to his office where Brennan had already sat down.
Rolling his eyes Booth trudged into the office, trying frantically to forget the awkward outburst he just had.
When they'd all settled, (Booth ignoring Brennan's presence) Sweets began to speak.
"Now…lets bring up the issue of your under-cover assignment. Tell me about Tony and Roxie".
"Well that was a complete waste of time!" Special Agent Seeley Booth huffed as he started up his black SUV angrily.
"Not entirely Booth. Sweets already knew about the case, he could help us with characterisation…" Brennan replied surprising herself with her own words.
"I thought you didn't believe in Sweets and his 'profiling'," Booth scoffed, taking his eyes off the road momentarily to gap in wonderment at his partner.
Brennan shook her head, "I don't. In my opinion its all just guess-work and chance, but in this case, Roxie and Tony are fictional characters and need certain identities, Sweets, is a profiler and supposedly knows what type of personality people have and their reactions to the world and I am an award-winning novelist, so together we could create two people entirely plausible and realistic."
Booth considered this for a moment. She was right, of course, as always, but he'd never admit that.
This was going to be one, long, tedious case…
Brennan had gone quiet for a moment after she had finished convincing him of the benefits of Sweets being on board their case.
Booth was just about to question her silence when she broke it.
"Booth, can I ask you something?"
"If its about you know- it - then no…"
"Its not about sex."
"Then fire away Bones."
"You know well I don't have a gun Booth!"
Booth rolled his eyes for what seemed like the millionth time that day.
"It means go ahead and ask me whatever you want to ask me".
"Oh...okay. Uh…do you think I should get back together with Sully?"
Booth's hand jerked on the steering wheel and the vehicle swerved widely.
"BOOTH!" Brennan exclaimed in alarm, gripping the dashboard tightly.
"Sorry, sorry, I thought I saw a cat…" Booth mumbled as his partner's stare bore into him.
A few moments passed in utter silence before they stopped at traffic lights.
Brennan took a deep breath and asked whilst looking out the window, "well…do you?"
Booth tapped his hand on the wheel loudly, screaming in his head for the light to turn green.
How the hell was he supposed to get out of this one?
A/N: Dun dun dun! What on earth will Booth do? What will he say? All will be revealed in the next chapter, also, we find out what happened to Jared, Booth will be notified of his brother's disappearance AND Tony and Roxie make a very interesting appearance at a nightclub… So stay tuned! wired2damoon xx
