Booth and Bones had been sitting in Sweets office for 20 minuets, listening to the constant drone of his voice. Bones was paying no attention at all and had little idea of what Sweets was talking about, and Booth was staring blankly at the clock, and hoping for a case to come up. Neither of them were thinking about anything in particular, more in a trance of boredom waiting for the session to be over.
Sweets, who was seeing the lack of attention the partners were showing pulled them out their trances. "You are not even listening," said Sweets, using his hands to express his frustration.
"I was listening," lied Booth.
"No you weren't, neither of us were listening," said Bones, being rational and forthcoming as usual.
Sweets collapsed back into his chair "guys c'mon, I just wanted to discuss the fact that even though there have been many unprofessional relationships amongst the jeffersonian, you two are still using it as an excuse to avoid the" he said, until he was cut off by Booth.
"Look Sweets, you have got to drop this whole act, Bones and I, we are just partners, JUST partners" he said, putting extra emphasis on the world "just".
"Yes, you and Bones are partners, but if you gave it some thought, you would see you wanted to be so much more" he said smugly, giving Booth a small smile.
"Can you help me out here Bones?" asked Booth in desperation.
" Look Sweets, Booth and I both agree that it is unsafe to be in a romantic relationship considering we work in such high risk situations, not that we have considered being in a romantic relationship, because we are just partners." She said flatly, as she crossed her arms and started blankly at the clock on the opposite wall.
"Well what about Hodgins and Angela, Wendell and Angela" he was about to continue when he was once again cut of by Booth.
"Speaking of Angela where is she?" he asked, ignoring Sweets completely.
"Oh, she is getting ready for a date with Wendell, I couldn't possibly understand why she would need so much time to get ready" said Bones, as Sweets was sitting in his chair, failing to regain the partners attention.
" Well she wants to have the perfect date," said Booth simply.
"you know, I have never actually had the perfect date" said Bones.
"Oh c'mon Bones, everyone ha had at least one perfect date" said Booth, noticing that Sweets was now sulking in his chair, having given up on the session all together.
"I must admit I have had some great dates, that ended in some excellent sex, but I have never had that one perfect date," she said, smiling at Booth red cheeks.
After recovering from the sex remark, he composed himself and smiled at Bones. "Well you know what Bones? Tomorrow night we are going on a date and I am going to make sure it is perfect," he said, rather proudly, his Alfa male tendencies coming to the surface.
Bones thought about this, and realised how much she wanted to go on a date with Booth. "You mean a date as friends?" she questioned.
"Yes, we are going to spend a night together, as friends, simply enjoying each others company," he said, making sure he said the words "friends" a little louder than the rest of the worlds.
"Sure, sounds great" she said, hiding her excitement.
"Well I will pick you up at six, and make sure you dress formal," he said, giving her his signature charm smile. Bones returned the smile and they then stared at each other for a moment, until they realised where they were.
"So I am assuming we are done here," said Booth, as he and Bones got up to leave.
"yep, just go, I will see you next week, and you can ignore me for the whole session." Said Sweets, his voice dripping with bitter sarcasm.
As Bones and Booth walked out of his office they could not help feel excited about their date tomorrow night.
