He lifted his mouth from hers, took a breath, and looked her over, looking for her emotion. She had kissed him, hadn't she? He didn't imagine that, right? She looked just as surprised as he felt. He was scared. Scared she would take it back. Say that it was wrong and unprofessional. He waited her to say something, or at least for the surprised look on her face to go away. The moment of truth. What she said now would change them forever. He was holding his breath now, so worried. But then all his worries went away because she started to smile. Only a little smile. But a smile. She wasn't mad! "Well that was ummm…" He started.

"Nice." She said, "It was nice." He saw a glint of hope in her eyes. Was it hope that he would agree?

"Yeah," He said, "Nice." She smiled up at him. The warmest, kindest smile ever. He bent over and kissed her again. He hoped he wasn't pushing it. But she kissed back. He was so happy that she did. She was okay with them kissing. He wanted to keep kissing her forever, but he heard footsteps. They were coming.

"They're coming." He said. He pulled a little bit farther away, and so did she. It was very hard for them to do at the moment, but he had too. She was smiling though. She was happy. Very happy. He had known her for five years. He knew when she was happy. He was smiling too.

"Eeeek!" Booth heard Angela's signature squeal behind him.

Brennan's p.o.v.

"I told you, you should tell him!" Angela shouted, then ran over to give Brennan a hug.

"Ow, Ange, my neck."

"Oops, sorry."

"What are you talking about?"

"You kissed!"Angela started jumping up and down.

"I don't know Bone's, did we kiss?" Booth said, looking over at her. He was letting her decide what story to tell.

"I think we did, Booth." She smiled up at him. She knew her best friend would be mad if she lied. Booth looked happy that she told the truth too.

"So bones, care to do it again?" At first she was confused at what Booth had said. Then she realized what he meant, and she was scared, then she decided to play along.

"You know what, sure Booth. Why not?" She looked at her coworkers and friend's faces. They looked somewhat surprised by her answer. So did Booth. But he leaned down and kissed her. She heard Angela let out a squeal, but that was not on her mind at all. Only the fact that she was kissing Booth. Where had these feelings come from? It was so weird. It felt so right. Kissing Booth. It was perfect. But finally, they had to pull away. She looked at their audience. They looked, she couldn't quite tell. Maybe like… they were expecting this?

"You guys look as if you were expecting this." She said

"We were! You guys are soul mates!" Angela said.

"I don't know what that means." Brennan said, looking to Booth for an answer. His cheeks were red. He didn't answer.

"It means you were meant to be!" Angela almost screamed

"Is there a problem in here?" A nurse asked. She must have heard Angela's squeals.

"Everything is fine." Booth said. "Just some exciting… news."

"Well if you need anything just press the call button." The nurse said, then walked away.

"Well it defiantly took you guys long enough!" Hodgins said. Angela smiled at him.

"I'm really happy for you guys." Cam said. Then she smiled. Good, she wasn't mad.

"Nice going big bro!" Jared said, Padme smiled up at him, he leaned down and kissed her on the head.

"Thank you Booth." Max said. What was Max thanking Booth for? Brennan couldn't think of anything, Booth didn't seem to know either.

"Thank you? For what?" Max ignored the question. They probably wouldn't be able to get him to answer it either.

Then there was an awkward silence. Angela broke it. "Sweetie, did you get a good look at the guy, maybe I could draw him for you?" Brennan thought for a moment. No, she hadn't seen her attacker, so she sighed.

"Sorry Ange, no I didn't."

"Well we will catch him." Booth said. "I promise."

"You can't promise that." Brennan said, sadly.

"I promise." He said again. She smiled. He had always been like that. The nurse came back.

"If you need any you can have more pain meds now."

"I'm fine." Brennan said. Booth looked disapprovingly at her.

"Are you sure?" He looked worried.

"I'm fine, really. I don't need the meds. But thank you." She said to both Booth and the nurse. The nurse left, but Booth looked at her a little disapprovingly.

"I don't want you to have to go through any more pain than you have too."

"Booth, I'm fine." She said, and smiled up at him.

"Okay," He said, "But if you start feeling like you need them I can go get the nurse."

"I'll be fine." She said, and then he kissed her forehead.

"Just looking out for you, that's all."

Booth's p.o.v.

After all her casts came off and the extra three days Cam forced her to take off, Bones came back to work. Booth had helped her out a lot. He was at her house everyday, making her food and helping her walk around. He did everything he could to make her feel better. He had begged her several times to take pain meds when he knew she was in pain, but every time she refused them.

"Common bones, take some meds. I don't like seeing you in pain." He had said.

"I'm fine Booth, I don't need meds."

"Please Bones."

"No Booth, no drugs."

"Fine I won't make you take them." He said, knowing he wouldn't win this argument. He smiled and kissed her on the cheek.

Now she was back at work. He wasn't going to take her out in the field with him, but he would still have to find ways to get her out of the lab, show her some sun light, living people. He walked through the doors of the Jeffersonian, heading strait for her office. He stood by her door a couple of seconds, watching her sit there typing on her computer, oblivious that he was there. She was so beautiful to him. Her perfect skin, her perfect hair, eyes, mouth. Finally he spoke. "Hey Bones, ready to go?" She looked at him, she showed confusion on her face.

"Go where Booth, I though you said no field work for a month?" He smiled and walked into her office and grabbed her coat.

"I'm taking you out to lunch. Even though you can't do field work doesn't mean you have to hide in here all day. You'd never see the sun." He held out her coat to her.

"Okay, just let me save this." She said, then clicked a button, grabbed her purse, and let Booth help her into her coat. They started walking out of her office, but Angela came running up and stopped them.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!" Why was she stopping them? He wasn't kidnapping her or anything. "You guys look NOTHING like a couple!" She said. Ugh, great, couples etiquette.

"Ange." Bones said. But Angela cut her off.

"You didn't even kiss her when you saw her!"

"Ange, will you let us leave if we kiss." Bones looked annoyed at her friend, but she turned and smiled up at me

"If that's what it takes!" Angela said. So they kissed each other, Angela squealed, and ran off.

"Let's go." Both said, his hand now wrapped around her waist and her head resting on her shoulder. It was nice.

Tyler's p.o.v.

They walked into the diner hand in hand and sat down at the usual table. They were such regulars that the people working there already knew what to get them, but they still asked. Booth ate his pie as usual, and Dr. Brennan refused when he offered her some. So predictable. The two had been coming here a long time, and at first, like most people, Tyler, a worker at the Royal Diner, had thought they had been dating. But he watched and soon saw that this was untrue. He had even asked one of their friends, Angela, about them. Something about them being soul mates but completely blind is what she had told him. They looked like they were actually dating. It wasn't much different than how they usually looked, which was like they were dating, but they held hands and were a little closer than usual. Anyone would have mistaken them for "together" before, but now, would they be mistaken? They had kissed before anyway. And he had an eavesdropping problem, he told himself. Probably nothing had changed.

I got the name "Tyler" from an inside Joke. Hope you guys like it :D
