(The Tiger in the Tale)
Thank you for reviewing my story. I appreciate it.
I definitely don't own Bones.
Oooooooooooooooooooo
It'd just popped into his head and he wanted her to hear it, so while they were talking about the case, he'd looked in to her beautiful blue eyes and smiled. "That animal was beautiful. It was beautiful and rare, just like you." And she'd ignored it. It was probably the best line he'd ever used on her and she'd just bulldozed right over it. Maybe she didn't really hear me. "Sorry, did you hear what I said? It was sweet."
Still she acted like he hadn't said anything special and he knew it wouldn't do any good to dwell on it. She knew she was beautiful and she didn't need him to tell her that and yet, it was the best damn line he'd ever used on her or any other woman in his life and she hadn't been impressed one bit. Damn!
Ooooooooooooooooooooo
And yet, she surprised him. They'd been talking about her running for President. She wasn't exactly a candidate he could vote for and he had to be honest why. "I really, really wouldn't give you your own army or nuclear weapons. That would be a disaster."
"Because I'm like a tiger?"
He'd been thrown with that statement. "Excuse me?"
She'd heard him after all and she'd remembered it. "Earlier today . . . you said I reminded you of a wild tiger."
Not sure where she was going with that, he'd acknowledged she was right. "I did . . . you do."
Her features softened and she smiled. "You called me rare and beautiful . . . Like a tiger you said."
Really surprised that she was bringing that up, Booth realized that she had heard him, but she had been too busy trying to work on the case to stop and allow his line to stop her. "I thought you didn't hear."
Brennan knew she probably should have responded when he'd said it earlier that day, but she was so caught up in their case and she hadn't wanted to be sidetracked. Booth could be so sweet to her sometimes and if she allowed it, he could frazzle her a little bit. Still he had said it and it had been sweet and he really needed to know that she had heard it. It also meant that he might have a point. "Wild tigers do not have the qualities of a good president."
Booth knew his partner and mate was brilliant, but she would make a terrible president and yet, he would never get in the way of any goals she might have. "You know what Bones. I wouldn't vote for you, but I would definitely encourage other people to vote for you."
He confused her sometimes and this was no exception and yet, he was Booth and he loved her. His shirt filled with vote for Bones buttons had both amused her and confused her and that was part of their relationship.
They both confused each other sometimes and yet they never let that confusion interfere in their relationship. They were two sides of the same coin, completely different and yet part of the fabric that made up the coin. Together they made that coin valuable and strong.
Oooooooooooooooo
Just a little something that popped into my head. I hope you liked it. Let me know. Thanks.
