"Hey Booth." Bones looked annoyed as soon as Booth walked through the door. Why was she annoyed? Was it something he had done? He hoped not, to think that she was annoyed by him made him hurt inside.
"Hey Bones. You… look annoyed…" He said she sighed.
"I am annoyed." She said. It was killing him thinking she might be annoyed with him.
"Who is annoying you, me? What happened? I'm sor-"
"Not you Booth! Angela. She blackmailed me." He wanted to sigh in relief, but that would come off weird to Bones…
"Why did she do that? She's your best friend."
"I know." She sighed. "I'm guessing she thinks she's doing it for my own good."
"Well what is it? What does she want you to do?" What did Angela tell her? Was what he wanted to ask.
"It's unimportant." She said, a little quickly.
"Well….. What's she ganna do if you don't do what she asks?" He sat beside her bed, resting his hand on her shoulder. She didn't seem to mind.
"She'll do it instead. Which would be bad."
"Well which would be worst?" She thought for a moment, probably checking out the pros and cons
"Probably if she told you."
"Wait, tell me what? This has me involved?"Booth was a little confused at first until it dawned on him. Angela wanted Bone's to tell him something.
"Yes."
"Yes what?"
"It has you involved."
"Well what does she want you to tell me?" He flashed his cocky smile, a little less worried now. She gave him look that told him she really didn't want to tell him. He began to worry now. Was something wrong? "Bones, is something wrong?"
"No, not at all. I-I'm just not sure."
"Common, Bones. We're partners, no secrets, remember?" She sighed. He was close. That they had agreed on a long time ago. He gave her an innocent look. She sighed again.
"Angela wants me to tell you…. That I had a dream while I was asleep." How could a dream be important. What did she dream?
"Well what happened in your dream? Was I in it?" He asked, as if it were a game, giving her a smile to show there was nothing wrong.
"Yes, you were in it." She said.
"Well what did I do?" He really wondered that. What would he do in Bones's dream? What would she dream him doing?
'You were visiting my grave." She said, bluntly as if the fact that she was dead in he dream didn't matter.
"Well, what did I say to you?"
"You weren't saying it to me you were saying it to the grave. I was floating above you."
"Fine, what did I say to your grave?" She looked uncomfortable. It must have been something he had said in her dream that Angela wanted her to tell me.
"Well you kept saying my name, and- and you were crying. And then you kissed the top of the tombstone, and then- and then…"
"Then what, Bones?" He really wanted to know this. What had Bones dreamed him saying?
"You said- You said 'I love you, temperance." She tried to turn the best she could, while Booth was just sitting there, not sure what to say. But then he heard a quiet sob from his partner.
"What's wrong, Bones?" Booth asked, putting his hand on her shoulder trying to get her to face him.
"You're mad at me." As she said this Booth laughed a little. Him, mad at her?! " why are you laughing?!" She demanded.
"Bones, I'm not mad at you, why did you think that?"
"Because you didn't talk after I told you what you said in my dream. And you just laughed at me."
"Bones, I was laughing because you thought I was mad at you. And I'm not mad at you, just- just a little- never mind it doesn't matter." He hoped she didn't ask for what he was about to say. She didn't, she just smiled up at him. That made him happy. He didn't even realize what he did next. He bent down, kissed her head, came up a few inches and said "I love you, Temperance."
