30 minutes later
"Ok that's all. Brennan, Booth, I need you two for a minute."
Btrnnan turned on her heel as she brushed Booth's arm quickly.
"Yeah?"
"You two know I hear things around here. I don't believe most of them, but I do hear them. You see, a few months ago I heard the two of you were a thing. I ignored it, and it was fine. Now I'm hearing Booth slept at his desk and Angela told me that Brennan had a nasty hangover this morning. Jack tells me that the staff can't focus because they're gossiping about you two working together and having more than a professional relationship. Now am I missing something?"
"No," Brennan said.
"I'll tell the story. Umm...Bones and I were outside her home last night and uh, I kissed her, because I thought we had agreed that we could go more public. She disagreed, and told me that what we have is a pain for her, and then we um, basically threw insulting banter back and forth until I hurt her and then left."
"Is that all?"
"Yeah," Brennan nodded.
Dr. Saroyan shook her head while sitting at her desk.
"That's why I don't encourage work relationships."
"Yeah."
"The heresay says you're together. Are um, are you?"
"We don't know," Booth confided.
Brennan crossed her arms uncomfortably as she tapped her elbow.
"What do I say?"
"That's what you're always worried about," Booth whispered.
Brennan shot a glare at him.
"Booth. Brennan, I guess you're going to have to play it like you're, well whatever."
"Ok."
Booth sighed and then shrugged.
"Is that all?"
"Yeah. go."
Temperance waited for Booth and then walked with him.
"You had to make a comment about me?"
"Sorry Bones, I just don't know when you agree with me or not."
"What the hell, Booth," she said softly.
"What? you're the one who doesn't think we're anything."
"Right now, I'm not sure if we can still be something after all this. After you apologize."
"After I apoligize? Bones, please, you're the one who started it."
"No, you did."
"You did."
"You did."
"You did, Bones."
"It was you."
"It actually was you, sweetheart."
They grinned at each other as they walked into Brennan's office, closing the door after them.
"It was you though."
"No, It was you Seely."
"Nope. It was you."
"No it was you."
"I'm sorry but are you as turned on as I am?"
Bones answered by pushing him into a corner of her office and kissing him. Booth kissed her back quickly and then put his hands on her hips and then kissed her neck as she moaned.
"I missed you last night," she whispered.
"I can come over tonight."
"Yeah."
Bones sighed as he continued to kiss her neck. There was a soft knock and neither heard.
"Hello? Open up it's me."
The pair heard Angela's voice on the door and untangled quickly as she opened the door.
"Yeah?"
Angela stared down Brennan who was sitting in a chair in the corner.
"Umm..what's wrong with her?"
"Nothing," she answered.
Angela began to walk over to Brennan as Booth stood in her way.
"Don't recommend it. She's uh, um-"
"Contagious."
Angela brushed off Booth's arm and stood in front of Brennan. Her hair was ruffled and her lipstick smeared.
"You two can't keep your hands off each other! If you're going to have a fight, actually be mad at each other!"
"God, Angela. We are mad at each other. It's just we can't stop ourselves."
"You're acting like teenagers, Booth. Sexually charged teenagers."
"Thanks," he grinned.
Bones grinned too as Booth offered his hand to help her stand.
"Booth. Now, while this was a good time, it doesn't change what we're going through."
"What is it we're fighting about again?"
"I'm not sure, Angela can you help us out here?"
"Brennan's mad cause you insulted her past choices in men, and Booth is mad cause you said what you have is pain."
"Oh."
The couple stared at each other, while Angela tapped her foot.
"Why can't we just apologize to each other? Last night was hell, Bones. All I thought about was what I told you, I, I'm sorry."
"Me too. I did some thinking in between staring at my photo album and drinking, and I'm sorry. I should've known how much you care for me. You would never think of doing something that would hurt me. We should've gone public a long time ago. I'm sorry."
Angela sighed and she looked away as Booth kissed Brennan softly.
"Maybe I should go," Angela said softly while they continued to kiss.
Booth answered by waving his hand at Angela as he opened the door and let herself out.
"I think I'll just leave this open."
The pair didn't even answer as they finally parted lips and stared at each other once again.
"I'm going to put my charm back on."
"I'll go tell Saroyan," he said smiling as he intertwined their fingers.
"I love you."
"Love you too," he said while he kissed her on her cheek before they went their separate ways.
Booth grinned as he turned and watched Bones walk down the hall and turn back too. The pair smiled quickly at each other, before the hustle and bustle of the Jeffersonian and FBI came down on them.
