"Booth walked tentatively into sweets office, he always hated coming to sweets for help, but at this point he had no other choice. He stood by the door and waited for sweets to notice him.
"agent Booth, how are you?" asked sweets, as he turned to face Booth.
"yeah cut the politeness, we need to talk." Said Booth, swiftly walking into the office, and taking a seat on the lounge, opposite sweets. He waited for sweets to sit down before he began. "Look it has been over a year and a half since my coma, and all my symptoms are gone. I crave brown sugar, I have my gut feeling back, I hate cats and I am afraid of clowns again." He said, pausing for a moment.
"But" sweets added in, knowing Booth had something else he needed to say.
"But I am still in love with her" he said, looking at sweets sympathetic face.
"And you want to know, how your feelings could be fake if they have lasted this long" he asked, understanding Booths feelings. Secretly sweets had started to believe the feelings were real himself, but he could not confess this to Booth until he had scientific confirmation.
Booth showed his agreement by burying his head in his hands and ruffling his hair. He looked back up at sweets, "I just want to know if my feelings are real"
"Well I guess we could have a few sessions, and I could try to determine what you are feeling" suggested sweets, who was truly surprised at Booths vulnerability, considering Booth hardly ever shared his true feelings with anyone, except Bones.
"Okay, but what do you think about it?" he asked, hoping sweets would give him the answer he was looking for.
"Well, I believe that you and doctor Brennan have always had something there, chemistry you may like to call it. I believe that you had feelings for her all along, but you never acted upon them, instead you denied them. I feel that you denied them until you felt almost nothing. But your pulse would still race when you saw her and you had a connection to her that you could not explain, you may have even had a crush on her. You were so used to denying the feelings it became natural, thus the love you truly felt did not show up in the scans. But when you had that dream, you saw what you were missing out on, and you could no longer deny your feelings because you had let yourself fall for her, you were forced to face how you felt, and you liked it so much that all your feelings were brought to your conscious mind." He said, sitting back in his chair, examining Booth too see if he agreed.
Booth was stunned at how true sweets words were, he stared at him for a moment before composing himself. "yeah, that sound fairly accurate"
"So I have a patient soon, but I will call you about rescheduling a time"
"Booth was about to leave when he stopped at the door and turned to sweets. "no one knows about this, ok, no one". And with hat he left.
