AN: This is my first multi-chapter fic, so bear with me folks! I'll do my best to update consistently and I'm hoping that this won't stretch too far beyond a few chapters but considering the ideas that are rolling around it may go on for a while. This is probably going to be a little OOC just so the story line will make sense, but I'll do my best to keep it IC. The idea for this randomly popped into my head after reading a different Bones fic and I got inspired!

Chapter 1

The morning light shone through the window waking a very hungover Seeley Booth. As he slowly started to come around he became aware of four things very quickly. The first being that he had a throbbing headache from the copious amounts of alcohol he had consumed the night before, the second being that he wasn't in his apartment, three, there was a naked woman lying next to him, the fourth, and probably most important, neither of them were wearing any clothes. What the hell happened last night? Think Seeley, think! Bones! I had a fight with Bones. I called her a cold fish after she said I was useless. Damn those were some low blows. No wonder I got mad and stormed out. I must've gone to drink at the old pool hall, I just hope that I didn't gamble. That must be where I met her. Now with some of the details out of the way Booth started to get up to try and leave. He managed to get out of the apartment before his cell phone rang.

"Booth"

"Booth, where the hell are you! We still have a murder to solve and we found some more evidence and we kinda need the FBI to solve this crime."

"Cam? Why are you calling me instead of Bones?"

"Why do you think Seeley? Brennan called Angela after your screaming match and is refusing to speak to you. So, are you coming to the lab?"

"Yeah, I'll be there. Just give me…ugh…Fuck, where am I? 45 minutes?"

"Okaaay. I'll see you then."

When Booth arrived at the lab nearly an hour later he went to go up to the platform but was stopped by a very angry Angela before he could get there. She glared at him and had her arms crossed in a menacing way that for some reason made the Army trained FBI Agent scared as all hell. "Angela. How are you"

"Don't you Angela me." She hissed out "We need to talk" Booth followed her into her office with Hodgins on his heels. Once the door was closed Angela let him have it. "Booth, what the hell were you thinking? A cold fish! Really?! What the HELL is wrong with you?! You know that Brennan has always felt insecure about how she interacts with people and that whenever someone calls her that it chips away a little at her soul! And then YOU of ALL people go and call her that! It's a damned good thing she didn't go home after she showed up at our place in tears last night or you would be a dead man!" At that point Booth looked at Hodgins in disbelieve, I can't believe I made Bones cry. Damn it. What the hell was I thinking?

"It's true man. She showed up at our door around 11 and practically collapsed in Ange's arms. I wouldn't believe it either if I hadn't seen it."

"I didn't mean it. She is anything but a cold fish and I know that. I was just so angry that it just came flying out of my mouth."

"Well, you need to fix it, Booth. A broken Bren isn't good and who knows what it'll do to her if she stays broken too long." As Booth turned to leave Hodgins piped up and asked "Why didn't you say anything then Booth? Why didn't you tell her you didn't mean it?" All Booth could do was look at the floor in shame, eventually, he muttered out "I don't know but I am going to fix it." At that, he went flying out of the office to go fix things with Bones.

Booth came into Bones' office looking so guilty it almost hurt Brennan to see it, but she swore to herself that she had to keep herself calm and to not let her emotions take control like they had last night.

"Hiya Bones." He spoke timidly

"Agent Booth. Dr. Saroyen has the new evidence for you." She spoke in such a cold and distant manner that it startled Booth she didn't even look up from the file she had in front of her. Agent Booth! She hasn't called me Agent Booth since we first met.

"Bones, please, can we talk."

"What about Booth?"

"Last night. The fight we had."

"I don't want to talk about it Booth. You said what you wanted to say."

"I didn't want to say it Bones. I didn't mean it."

"Then why did you say it?" Her voice started to get a little louder at this point and she finally turned in his desk chair so she would face him.

"I don't know. I was so mad that I wanted to hurt you and that tumbled out." The look that crossed Bones' face at that just about broke his heart.

"You wanted to hurt me?" Her voice sounded so vulnerable and she had tears brimming in her eyes.

"Oh, Bones." Booth got down on his knees in front of her so that they would be on eye level. He put his hands on her knees gently and gave a light squeeze as he started to speak "No. I didn't want to hurt you. I was just angry and I said something that I didn't mean. I wish more than anything that I could take it back." After a few moments of silence Booth grabbed Bones' hand "You know that I'd never hurt you, right?" She nodded in agreement then she squeezed his hand before she spoke; "I'm sorry Booth."

"What for Bones?"

"For calling you useless. I didn't mean it. I really am sorry. Will you forgive me?"

"Do you forgive me Bones?" She nodded adamantly "Of course I forgive you. We are going to fight sometimes, but you're my person and we'll forgive each other." She looked down at him with a look of confusion "I don't understand what that means." Booth let out a small chuckle before he pulled her down into his arms for one of their 'guy hugs'. "It means you're stuck with me Bones." Oh, man, if I never let her go it will be too soon.
