I don't own either Booth or Bones but after the research for this one I wish it did, I would certainly change a story line.
Chapter 9 Storgic Love
"Booth why do we spend every Friday night and most of each week-end together. It seems like we don't spend time with anyone except each other and Parker.."
"I really hadn't thought about it Bones. Is it a problem for you? Do you want to spend time with other people?" The idea she might want to see anyone else made his stomach cramp. It usually meant she had found some man she wanted to see to satisfy her biological urges. He didn't think he sit on the side line much more.
"No Booth, I was just wondering," He had that strained look on his face again. I wish I knew how he felt. This limbo is killing me. I'm not an atta-a-girl type of waiter. I wish I could just tell him how I feel.
Turing toward her he looked into her eyes "Bones that is not something you do. Just ask questions because you wonder something. You have scientific way of gathering information so what is bothering you?"
"What if I told you I was thinking about a song I was listening to yesterday?"
"I guess I'd ask you what was it?"
"It is from one of an old movie that was on Called Calamity Jane. For some reason I seem to get it out of my head it goes like:
Once I had a secret love
That lived within the heart of me
All too soon my secret love
Became impatient to be free
I just wish I could figure out why it keeps bothering me."
"Well Bones I have learned a lot from you in these last years so let's try your way of doing things. First we need to start with a hypothesis. Now if I understand this is the suggested explanation."
"Yes Booth but the service the hypothesis does is not the truth it provided but the research it will stimulate."
"Ok, I think I got that one. So based on that what is your hypothesis?"
"Well if I were to make a question or hypothesis I would have to ask who the secret love is?"
"That's what I'd want to know, but you know Bones I'd also want to know why I keep remembering this song. Is your real question who is the secret lover or the definition of love."
"I think I'm stuck on the definition of love. What is love Booth do you really know can you describe it in words?
"I know how I would, but what do you think they are?
She walked over to her computer and opened it and went to her favorit information site and called him over. "Booth let's look at the explanations together."
Platonic in its modern popular sense, is a non-sexual affectionate relationship A platonic relationships is a deep, non-sexual friendship, not subject to gender pairings and including close relatives.
Romance is one that really isn't a term of love but one you hear sometimes but it really is more of a feeling. It is an expression of one's love, or one's deep emotional desires to connect with another person
Eroticism which is just the expectation of sexual activity. It is not only the state of arousal and anticipation, but also the attempt through various means to incite those feelings.
Storgemay be used as a general term to describe the love between exceptional friends, and the desire for them to care compassionately for one another. Another interpretation is for storge to be used to describe a sexual relationship between two people that gradually grew out of a friendship storgic lovers sometimes cannot pinpoint the moment that friendship turned to love. Storgic lovers are friends first, and the friendship can endure even beyond the breakup of the sexual relationship.
At the definition of storge they both looked at each other with shock on their faces. "Booth are we exceptional friends?"
He reached out his thumb and rubbed it over her lip moving closer to her. "Bones I think wer are the most exceptional of friends."
"Booth this definition says if we were to begin a sexual relationship and were to breakup our friendship would survive."
Booth looked at her and smiled, this seemed to be something she needed.
"Booth we have been friends for so long now. One thing I know I can't tell you when it happened but," and here she took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She reached out blindly for his hands and pulled his finger tips to her lips "I love you."
Booth leaned over and pulled her into his arms. "Bones you are the light of my life, you are all I have ever looked for. I love you too and not in an atta-a-girl way, he smiled at her.
"Good" she said as she punched him. Booth one thing more:
So I told a friendly star
The way that dreamers often do
Just how wonderful you are
And why I'm so in love with you
Booth reached over and picked her up caring her down the hall to her bedroom. They bickered all the way. She could walk on her own. He wanted to be romantic. She wanted to make love in the living room. He wanted their first time to be in a bed. She wanted to hurry. He wanted to take it slowly. They agreed he knew how to teach her to make love. She taught him they could alter the universe.
Hope you like this little story. I was surprised to see the definition of Storge. It really fits them doesn't it?
