A Man's Man

Chapter One: The Announcement

*BUZZ**BUZZ**BUZZ*
Seeley Booth, pushed the snooze button on the alarm clock, but it was no use, Zack was already up. "What time is it"? He questions the man sitting by him. "Time for us to continue of session from last night" Seeley says puling Zack in for hug and a kiss on the forehead. "Com'on you know you want to" Booth teases. "While, I find you to be very sexually stimulating, I have to get to work, and I do believe you have court in two hours. Caroline will not tolerate you being late again Seeley" 'Seeley' something about when Zack says to Booth it just feels right. Zack says and pecks Booth on the lips, then stands up to get ready. Booth admires the sight, Zack has no underwear on. "Looking for these"? Booth holds up Zack's boxer-breifs.

~Jeffersonian Institute~

"Body is male, appears to be in his late 20's. Apparent fracture to the right distal radius, distal forearm, and it seems that this man's mandible has been crushed, I'll assemble it then send the skull to Angela for a reconstruction. Zack what is that"? Dr. Temperance points to a small 'chip' on the tiba. "It appears to be a knife wound of some sort, but it is in an odd location on the body. There also appears to be so type of fiber imbedded in the wound". Zack comments. "Send it to Hodgins for analysis" Brenann says, then places the skull with the mandible (and fragments) on a tray, she then begins to assemble it on the table adjacent to the body. Zack sits on the opposite side of the table from Brenann. Dr. Brenann would usually leave the tedious task of reconstructing a mandible to Zack, but lately (more like right after Zack 'officially' came out of the closet) Dr. Brennan has been more less excluding Zack from the team. It was like she was treating him like his was an intern, an incompetent one at best. "Just because I'm gay does not mean, I am unable to successfully do my job." Zack says to Dr. Brenann out of the blue. "Zack, I have no problem with you sexuality, and it surely does not make you incompetent. Now please, send the skull and mandible to Angela. You can leave once your finished with your report." Brenann says throwing her gloves in the 'Soiled Glove' bin. "My report is already on your desk. I will see you tomorrow Dr. Brenann" Zack Addy says stepping off the platform and bumping into Booth. "Hey Ba-Booth, how are you" ? Zack says catching his slip-up. "Just on my way home, want a ride"? He asks

"Sure" Zack gladly replies but Booth already knew the answer.

~In the car~

Zack sits in the car, with a saddened expression. He ponders at the idea of the lab, knowing about Booth. It was no fun, having the hottest man in the world all to himself, and not being able to 'rub it in people's (mostly Angela's) faces.

"What's wrong babe" Booth asks placing his hand on Zack's knee, startling him, and breaking Zack's train of thought.

"Well, I was just thinking about us. We've been together for close to two years and Angela constanly hits on you. You would think she of all people would know. Anyways, I promised you that our relantionship could stay between us until your ready to reveal your sexuality out the the world" zack promises and slightly turns towards Booth "I just want you to promise me, that you will never leave me". Booth had never seen such raw emotion in Zack's eyes. "Zack I promise I will never leave, you. Just wait, you'll see.

Booth pulls into the parking lot, Booth parks the SUV. Zack and Booth exit the SUV, Zack walks around the SUV and under Booth's arm. Zack, now under the arm of his best friend says "Booth I don't want you to rush, with your announcement, I want you to wait until you feel it is the right time to say, what you have to say". Booth and Zack continue to walk up to Booth's apartment. When the they arrive at the door, Booth removes his arm that is wrapped around Zack, he pulls out his keys and unlocks the door. What Zack is seeing in front of him baffles him. Zack looks inside the apartment which is overflowing with hearts, rose pedals, and loves notes scattered all over the room. There is a noticable trail of rose pedals leading around the corner, he slowly follows the trail, around the corner. Zack looks at the couch, it has several pictures of Booth and Zack, Zack reminises in the moment. Looking at the photos Zack begins to speak, "Are those the photos of us in the park"? Booth silently nods his head. The first photo is of Zack wraps around Booth, like Booth is giving Zack a piggy-back ride, their smiles in the photo is the same in which is upon their face now. The second and photo are of Zack and Booth giving each other a kiss on the cheek. The fourth and final photo is Zack falling alseep in Booth's arms. "You remember that day"? Booth begins to speak "You were so mad that I woke you up. You just wanted to lay there all day".

Zack smiles and looks back at the couch, next to the final photo is a letter with to rings resting on top of the letter. Zack is first puzzled and then he is filled with joy and happiness.

"Are you going read the letter or just stand there"?

Zack now reachs down and grabs the letter and reads aloud..

Zack,
The last years I have spent with you have the most eventful and heart felt. We have been through some bad times,
but the good out weigh the bad. I have recently come to the decision to make my love to you known to everyone, to
the world. I know now after spending this time with you, that I wan to spend the rest of my life with you. I you what
makes me complete. I could go on with more mush, and fluff; but I know that you won't want to read that. So in
conclusion, Zachary Uriah Addy will you be my partner, my man, my everything now and forever?

Booth come not help but show his nervousness, he is sweating.

"Why are you so nerverous"? Zack questions and hugs Booth

"You forgot to give my answer" Booth states in a some-what shaky voice.

"Oh, of course I will be your 'man' now and until forever" Zack kisses Booth.
