Hey! Here is chapter three, letter D! This is a way fluffier piece, no angst at all in here! Spoilers only for episode 5x10 "Goop on the Girl" but it's set in the future… just how future it's up to you! ;)

I didn't say it in the other chapter, but nothing has changed, Bones is still not mine. If it were, this would not be in the future, but in the past!

And thanks again to my lovely beta Shin/BonesBird who, even if she is really busy right now she always finds the time to read and correct these and give me the first feedback.

Thank you for reading and reviewing the other chapters, hope you enjoy this one too! By the way, I changed the rating, just to be safe ;)

Chromium

Heaven, Seeley Booth thought to himself with extreme contentment, this is what heaven must be like. He smiled, tightening his arms around the woman resting on his bare chest. Even if they weren't talking he knew she wasn't sleeping, hecould feel her fingers trailing lightly on his skin. She should be having a reason to sleep though... he should be having one himself, as a matter of fact. But he was too happy and content to fall asleep. Well, more than one reason, he chuckled.

"Why are you laughing?" Brennan said with a sweet little voice as she looked up at him.

"Not laughing, baby." he grinned.

"Yes, you were definitely laughing." she replied stubborn "And don't call me baby!" she added.

"Not even now?" Booth asked amused.

"Nope, not even now"

"It will grow on you, Bones, don't worry, it will grow on you. 'Bones' did." he said in a teasing tone.

"No, it… I mean… ok, that did, but this will not. I never liked it. I'm not an infant." she mumbled against him, her fingertips always moving to his upper chest.

"There you're right, you are most definitely not an infant." he chuckled again leaning down to kiss the top of her head. She reached up with her hands to cup the nape of his neck and caught his lips in hers. When they parted they just stayed there, foreheads and noses pressed together like the rest of their bodies, smiling with contentment and needed relief. A huge weight had been lifted from their shoulders and they both had realized it.

While her feather-like touches still caressed his skin, this time the skin of the back of his neck, his fingers travelled as lightly as hers on her back, just gentle stroking and touching, caressing and exploring, enjoying the simple fact that now he could do it. Especially he lingered on the small of her back. That was his place, always had been. Only then this was the first time he actually touched and cherished the skin there. No more clothes between the palm of his hand and her soft skin. Nothing more between him and her.

He went back at focusing on the soft sweet massage she was giving to his neck and upper shoulders. This is heaven too, he smiled. He had the feeling that with her everything was heaven. She kept pressing expertly her fingertips on his skin, relieving the tension and relaxing his muscles. Suddenly a thought popped up in his mind, his lips curled up and he chuckled softly once again.

"Why are you laughing again?" she asked half laughing herself.

"I was not -" he started but she interrupted him.

"Don't say you weren't laughing, you were!" she said acting annoyed but still smiling.

"It wasn't a laugh, it was a chuckle!" he laughed, this time for real.

"Maybe before but now you're definitely laughing!"

"Bones, we always manage to bicker, do we? Even when we are in bed." he said affectionately, moving one of his hands to sweetly brush her cheek.

She froze for a couple of seconds and blushed slightly, as if she just realized that she actually was in bed with him. The warm touch of his hand against her cheek brought her back to reality. She smiled shyly and with her hands still on his neck she pulled his face down to meet hers and they shared a sweet, tender kiss. As they parted her lips formed a mischievous grin.

"Well, our bickering is not a bad thing, is it?" she "Plus, I don't really remember us bickering before" she added suggestively, all the shyness she was feeling one minute before suddenly disappeared.

He swallowed and nodded, flushing a little bit himself this time. He rolled over and looked down at her, smiling in his arms. Nothing could ever me more perfect than that. Her hands slowly restarted their massage of his neck and shoulders.

"So you really do like my chromium." he whispered, his fingers threading in her auburn curls.

She started laughing "What?"

"My chromium, you said you liked my chromium." he replied winking at her.

"I did.. not…" she said confused.

"Yes, you did! You were taking off my clothes and you said that I have a perfect chromium!"

She laughed again, a clear, amused laugh that reminded him of the time she laugh about bones in a carpet. She didn't usually laugh like that. He looked at her in awe, even if probably she was laughing at him again. He just loved to make her laugh.

"I… was…" she stuttered between the giggles "I was talking about the acromion, not the chromium!" she explained when she could manage to take a breath. "The chromium is a chemical element, while the acromion is a part of the –"

" – shoulder blade, I know!" he interrupted her.

"Scapula, yeah…" she couldn't help but saying the proper term, which gained her an eye roll from him "but how did you know?" she asked surprised.

" Come on, Bones, you made me a compliment, I had to do some research… I just forgot the right name!" he smiled proudly.

"You really do have a perfect chromium" she purred against him, her fingers drumming on the incriminated part as she leaned up to kiss him.

As her words registered, even if in delay because of the distraction, he stopped and whispered against her lips "Hey, wasn't the right term acromion?"

"Yeah?" she moaned, moving her mouth to place little kisses down his throat.

"That's what you said…" he said rolling to his side with her and tightening his arms around the woman he loved. "You are the genius" he smiled.

"That I am" she agreed with a husky voice.

"That's my girl" he whispered trapping once again her lips in his.

Round who-remembers-the-number was definitely about to start.
