The question that (was) revealed

Betsy's POV:

"So, to make it up to me, you have to tell me… Were you two ever more then friends? Have you ever kissed?"

Hannah asked, somehow professionally, with a hint of suspicion and jealousy.

"No!" Agent Booth and Dr. Brennan spoke at the same time.

Hannah wasn't happy with the (un)preciseness of their answer.

"Which one of those two questions are you replying to with 'no'?"

"We were never 'more than friends', as today's English speaking society describes relationships in which two people are romantically or physically involved - besides being friends." Dr. Brennan rambled without stopping and the discomfort reappeared to the agent's face.

"So you kissed, but never slept together or dated each other?" she asked skeptically.

Silence filled their booth and Hannah, no longer so composed, nervously asked:

"So what was it… like a kiss on the cheek?"

The doctor obviously remembered a pleasant occasion and gratefully stated:

"I believe I did kiss Booth on the cheek once, when he did something exceptionally nice for my brother."

Not helping, Buttercup!

"I guess there was more than a kiss on the cheek, then?" Hannah leaned back into her bench, looking unhappy and rather jealous once again.

"There was tongue contact…" Dr. Brennan stated bluntly.

Whoa; that's quite picturesque… I won't be able to get that image out of my head for days now!

More silence filled the room. As subtle as possible I went to the table right behind theirs and concentrated, waiting for the first sound that would come from any of them. Because of my curious nature, I decided to stay there for a while and started to pretend I was doing something useful, even though someone might have thought I was crazy for fixing the position of a table cloth for over ten minutes.

.

"Tell me about the time you kissed," she said, or maybe more like demanded.

After another moment of awkwardness, the agent seemed defeated and the doctor looked confused – Dr. Brennan spoke bluntly:

"Which one?"

There was more than one? Wow, if I thought this was good already, it just got way better!

She wasn't kidding, she was seriously asking a question and she expected an answer. Two sets of eyes widened. Hannah composed a little; she obviously figured freaking out is not an option. She got an evil grin on her face for a split second and then spoke:

"I'd like to know about all of them, unless there's too many; in that case I'd like you to explain why you consider yourselves as never being 'more than friends'."

Wow, she wants to know everything? I wonder if Dr. Brennan would want to know about each kiss between Booth and Blondie if she was the one dating him?

"There isn't too many; I remember each and every one of them…"

Mmhmm, you sound a bit too dreamy, Buttercup! Blondie obviously noticed it. Well, if she didn't, I most certainly did… Of course you're not the one to blame; I'd lie if I'd say I never imagined Special Agent Seeley Booth kissing (well, to be honest not just kissing) me!

"We kissed after the first time we met - about seven years ago, under a mistletoe - about 4 years later and again about 2 months before Bones left to go on a dig and I left for Afghanistan. Oh, and we kissed about a year before our parting..."

He sounded honest, but Dr. Brennan shook her head 'no' after the last one.

"We didn't kiss for the fourth time, Booth. You dreamt those kisses in your coma dream after your tumor was removed, how could you forget that was just a dream?" she seemed very puzzled and worried by this.

Agent Booth leant into the doctor, so he could whisper into her ear, but he was a little too loud, because I heard him say:

"It felt really real, okay?"

"You had a tumor and you dreamt of kissing your partner while you were in a coma! Did you dream of doing anything else with her?"

If Blondie didn't show how upset she was before, she sure did now!

"You know what; I don't even want the answer to my last question. Just answer this one: Why haven't you told me?" she asked worriedly.

Now she wasn't worried just because of his health… that I was certain.

"I didn't want you to worry," he said, reaching for her hand, which she immediately removed from the table.

"But it's okay that she knew?"

" I was the first to recognize his symptoms… He was seeing the baby from a cartoon or something… and how could I not know, I am his partner and best friend, we share everything. What was he suppose to do, Hannah, just go into surgery alone? He needed me in there with him" she stated like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

I could tell that, when Dr. Brennan stated that she was his best friend and she was in the operating room with him, it bothered the blonde lady to no end, but she didn't say anything about it. Instead she just asked:

"So… She saved your life? How can I compete with that…?" it wasn't really a question but a statement.

You can't, Darling...

"You don't have to compete with that… You don't have to compete with anything!" Booth said, devastated and a little bit annoyed.

"You don't; he returned the favor. I believe we're even," said Dr. Brennan.

Wow, I wonder what he did to save her life…

Booth looked at her nervously.

"I believe I should leave you two alone now… I'm sorry for interrupting your lunch in the first place."

"No, no you don't, Temperance. You two are going to tell me exactly what has gone on between you two and you are going to start with the first time you kissed until the last time you kissed and you'll tell me what's with that book you were so upset about yesterday."

Wow, little Blondie's out on a mission!

"Well, I'll let Booth speak first…"

He seemed uncomfortable.

Why doesn't he just say something… It's already out that they've kissed, how much worse can it get, considering they haven't slept together? Although that coma dream sounds suspicious to me…!

"What about 'what's ours should only be ours'?" Dr. Brennan asked, it was meant only for Booth to hear, but she failed and Hannah unconsciously rolled her eyes.

"Well, Hannah deserves some answers from me and if you're uncomfortable, then I will only tell her my side of the story…"

"No, it's fine, she deserves to hear everything. Everything, Booth, nothing left out." She stated sadly, while sitting down next to him again. Hannah looked extremely worried now.

"I have nothing to lose anyways, so… we should start at the beginning."

I noticed that she said that like she had already lost him.

All three of them nodded. They were all pretending – or just trying really hard – to be calm.

.

"I told you earlier how we ended up working together in the first place… Well, meanwhile, I had to fire her. I was told the easiest way to do it was by getting her drunk. So, I took her to The Founding Fathers and ordered a bottle of tequila … we drank and I fired her. She looked at the bright side of it and concluded that if we were no longer working together, getting involved sexually would be acceptable… We had a few more drinks and we left the bar. I was drunk – way more than she was – and we kissed… she got into the cab, alone, drove away and left me standing out in the rain…"

That's like the saddest scene I've had in my head, since the Titanic sank in the movie…

Hannah leaned her head to the left, not believing everything he told her.

"You just kissed out of nowhere? What happened to having sex?"

"It would not have been just sex between us" He mumbled under his breath.

Hannah didn't seem to notice what he said, but Dr. Brennan sure did. She started playing with her ring nervously. The only reason I could even hear him, was because I was directly behind his table now and Blondie was sitting on the opposite side of the partners. Dr. Brennan quickly said:

"It wouldn't have been a good idea; Booth was under the influence of quite a bit of alcohol…"

"You didn't just kiss out of nowhere. That doesn't just happen." Hannah stated.

"No… it doesn't." Booth said sadly.

Now she looked worried; I thought she was going to burst out in tears.

"You'll find out about it soon, but not from us…" Dr. Brennan stated.

Okay, now I am totally confused! Who is Blondie going to hear it from? I don't really care as long as I hear what it is!

To be continued...
