I don't own anything. And Thanks for the reviews :) Hope more will come. :)

Booth dropped a bunch of documents on Sweet's desk. "There you go Sweets, sign the papers so that I can go back to catching the bad guys." Booth rubbed his hands together in anticipation "I want to jump in on the next case, I just got a call, a body has been found at the American University and Bones is already on the way. Cullen said I'm good to go as long as you sign the papers, so chop chop."

Sweets looked up at Booth from his usual spot on the sofa "Hold on Agent Booth, I haven't even begun to see yet as to how the war affected you, most soldiers experience post traumatic stress after getting back, I want to make sure that you are handling everything ok."

Booth sat down, "C'mon Sweets, I'm good, see? Sign the form."

Sweets persisted "So no bad dreams, no hallucinations, no sudden rush of breaths?"

Booth rolled his eyes "I'm FINE Sweets, just sign it."

But Sweets won't back down. "I also heard that you are dating someone who you met at Afghanistan, are you not concerned as to how you're relationship with her will affect your partnership with Dr. Brennan?"

Booth suddenly looked a bit uncomfortable "Didn't waste any time didn't you? How did you find out about Amada so quickly?"

Sweets just shook his head "It doesn't matter how I know, I still want an answer if you want me to sign this form."

"Look Sweets, Bones and I are fine, we had dinner with Amanda, we're ok. Now sign."

"You mean to tell me that Dr. Brennan did not even find the situation awkward in anyway?" Sweets asked raising an incredulous eyebrow.

"Look Sweets, she was the one who wanted us to remain just partners. Bones is cool with it."

But even as he said it he knew that somehow he was lying to Sweets. He remembered that night, two days ago. Booth tried to get both women to be part of one general topic but it was an ask and answer situation. It wasn't a flowing conversation at all. So he brought the topic of getting back to work by Monday and that's when Bones and him started to have a real talk since they left the airport but then he noticed ht tensed look in Amanda's face so he started to bring in topics which happened in Afghanistan but then Bones was the one who got uncomfortable.

Sweets was just looking at Booth with that knowing look on his face and finally Booth sighed. "Ok, so she wasn't cool about it. I talk about Afghanistan and she gets this awkward look on her face. I talk about work and Parker, she starts to talk but then Amanda gets left out so yeah, it's a bit weird, but its us Sweets, we'll make it work."

Sweets looked at Booth wondering how to put his thoughts in words that this man will understand. Sweets knows that Booth got hurt by Dr. Brennan and he isn't at all surprised that Booth will take that one year to try to finally get over her. Sweets hasn't met Amanda yet, he was just told by Angela whom he bumped into at the Diner earlier today, but it appears that even though Booth thinks he's stepping into the direction he thinks Dr. Brennan wants, he also knew that the moment that he starts working with her again, everything will come back. For these two he knows that the cliché "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" will somehow prevail.

"Agent Booth" Sweets started, carefully choosing his words "I know that Dr. Brennan has turned you down in the past, and I'm sure that Amanda is very nice but aren't you rushing into things a bit? You already introduced her to Dr. Brennan without even finding out first how things are at her end. She might have changed her mind and now is thinking of being with you after getting back from Maluku."

"Sweets, she won't change her mind, she said so. I introduced them so that Bones would know that she has nothing to worry about. Past is past. Again Sweets, sign the form. Clock is ticking. Dead Body at the university."

"Is it really in the past? Or are you just afraid of finding out for yourself?"

Booth's face is starting to contort in anger and Sweets knew that he was crossing a very thin and difficult line, but he's standing his ground.

Booth stood up and glared at Sweets "Cut the crap Sweets. I'm here for my form That's it. I don't want to hear it. I don't have PTSD, that's the thing, now Sign it."

Sweets kept his cool although in truth Booth was starting to intimidate him, he stood up, walked to his Computer to grab his pen, his back turned to Booth. "Just so you know Agent Booth, its possible that the reason why Dr. Brennan is uncomfortable with ay stories about Afghanistan is because she knows you met Amanda there and she doesn't want to discuss her.

He turned around and gave the signed papers to Booth.

Booth grabbed them and said again "She didn't change her mind Sweets" and then he turned to leave, making sure to slam the door behind him leaving Sweets shaking his head at him.

More reviews more updates! :)
