Fixing Booth's Sink


Booth and Bones were at Booth's house, under Booth's sink, trying to fix the plumbing. Bones had told Booth that she wanted to learn how to fix the plumbing, just so she could help him in some way.

They had tried one time, but it wasn't fixed (see episode 5x2)

Finally, about three times later, they made some progress. Or not.

"This is getting ridiculous." Booth muttered.

"I could just lend you the money." Bones said. "All but the money I'm giving to save Wendell's scholorship."

"I want to fix it myself." Booth said.

"Why?" Bones asked.

"I thought you wanted to learn-"

"I did. But something else must be wrong with it." Bones told Booth. They were merely inches away from eachother.

"Okay, fine." Booth said. "You know how we said that we'd never keep secrets?" Booth asked.

Bones nodded. "I recall that." She said.

"Well. I have a secret." He said. Bones nodded as if to say 'continue'. He hesitated before saying., "I... I... Um...- I love you." He said, looking her right in the eyes.

"I know, you told me that you loved me last week. Followed by 'in a professional mannor'. "

"No. Bones. Look. I actually love you. I told Cam, and Sweets found out, and told me it may be because of my brain damage, and I got nervous. But now, here, I know that I love you."

"Booth-"

"I know. I know. You don't feel the same way, and everything, but I-" He started. He was interrupted by Bones's lips meeting his. The kiss began slow and caring, then became more passionate. Then they separated.

"Bones. What if this is brain damage. The last thing I want is to hurt you." Booth said, nervous once again.

"It's not brain damage." Bones said. She kissed him again on the lips. He kissed back, but then pulled away.

"Bones." He said.

"I know it's not Booth. I know it's not." She told him.

"How do you know?"

"I just do, Booth." She said. She kissed him again, and he kissed back.

"Bones, I just can't do this now, okay? I want the first time I make love to you to be perfect. Perfect."

"I can understand that Booth." She said.

"Thank you." He replied. "Do you want to watch a movie, or something?" He asked.

"That'd be nice..." She said. "And Booth?"

"Yeah?" He replied.

"I love you too." She said.
