Why is it such a weakness to need someone Bones? Why are you so reluctant to rely on another person? When you said that you are an anthropologist .Whose name was Dc. Temperance Brennan. When you were crying in my arms? After the tears subsided and the rational brain kicked back in you regretted it didn't you. You basically said it shouldn't happen again. Did it scare you that much to rely on me, if only for that moment, if only for a hug.
How bad did it hurt Bones? When you learned that your family wasn't who you thought, that the memories were a lie, or that your last name wasn't even legal.
Until you were three everybody called you Joy. Did you radiate some kind of hope back then? Was there a reason or did your parents just like the name. Why did they name you Temperance? What would they have used next. Hope! Mercy! Faith! (That would be just too ironic)
Does it really matter if you're someone's Joy, just like you're my Bones. Is it that painful to hear someone call you that name? Dose Joy make you think of how fake it all was that your parents were criminals, and that they lied when you asked about things like grandparents and cousins.
I don't think you realize what that name means. Does it hurt that your father might like to think of you as his baby Joy, that if your father heard the word joy, he might be brought back. Sure it would be back to when he was a criminal. The life you consider a lie from everything you know, but can't you get that on some level Bones.
You can think what you want of the name you were given. Think it a lie or a dark secret past. And when I think of joy I'll think of a little baby swinging in a basinet. The little girl who was somebody's Joy.
You do love undercover, don't you Bones. What is it you love the most? Is it getting to dress up? Putting on a show and being someone else. Or is it that you don't have to be Brennan for a chance.
You still look like Brennan. You still know as much as her. But you don't have to act like her do you. You can be wild and free. You can act uninhibited. I can smack your ass in public and you can laugh with delight. Maybe it's just me but that's my favorite part.
The wild behavior, it's exciting right. To be that out there, it can be a little scary sometimes. Like when I'm expected to throw knives at you. Booth wouldn't do that, and Brennan would certainly never let him.
We can be outrages and atrocious. We can flirt with each other in the name of a case. I can kiss you for no reason at all, because I'm not Booth, your partner and friend. I'm Tony your fiancé. Engaged to be engaged. And we can be anything we want, whether it's pretend or not.
