This is in repsonse to the Bonesology 2015 Microfiction Hiatus Challenge. These are drabbles and are supposed to be less that 300 words per chapter. I'm sure I won't be able to stick to the 300 words, sorry. I hope you have a little fun reading them.

(Bed)

Thanks for reviewing my story. It is the only way I can tell if you like it.

I don't own Bones.

Ooooooooooooooooo

"We need a new mattress." Rolling on to her side, Brennan continued to complain, "This is mattress is terrible. I can't lay on my side of the bed anymore. I end up rolling into the center."

Amused, Booth turned his head so that he was facing his wife, "I can't imagine why."

Not sure what he meant, Brennan sat up and stared at her partner, "Sarcasm? Why sarcasm? I was merely stating a fact."

Turning on to his side, Booth propped up his head on his hand, "And you don't have any idea why?"

Sniffing in disdain, Brennan glared at him, "No I don't. I paid three thousand dollars for this mattress just so you would wake up in the morning with less pain."

"Aw . . . and don't think I don't appreciate that, but really, you don't know why the mattress is the way it is?" His amusement rising, Booth stared in wonder at the woman he loved.

A sly smile on her lips, Brennan responded, "Perhaps it's because you can't leave me alone during the night and insist on sleeping next to me in the middle of the bed."

Outraged, Booth sat up, "Hey, little Miss Grabby, you're the one who won't leave me alone. Every morning I wake up and what do I find? You glued to me like a leech or something."

Her eyes now squinting at him, Brennan choked, "Me? I do not. I . . . you pull me next to you in your sleep and I stay."

Suspicious, Booth glanced at the middle of the bed and then back at his wife, "Is that really true?"

Her features softening, Brennan smiled, "Yes and I don't mind. It's nice actually. You're very warm and you're holding me makes me feel safe."

Relaxing, Booth laid down and opened his arms towards her. Glad the argument was over, Brennan moved over towards him and laid down so that her head was resting on his shoulder, one arm and one leg draped over his body, "We do need to get a new mattress."

Kissing her, Booth smiled, "Yeah, I guess we do. Hopefully the next one will last longer than four years."

ooooooooooooooooooooo

Any good?
