A.N : Bones? Not mine!

CHAPTER 3- GUY TALK

" What you mean by bleeding knees, Angela? Bones was fine when she left, and…whoa, Bones. What the hell happened to you?" Booth was already kneeling himself by the vision of his Bones hurt, his soft fingers touching it, realizing that it must have been a hell of a fall. Brennan pulled away in the same second, the pain of him touching her already very sour bruises mixed with the pain of remembering what they did the last time they were together. As she moved, she realized for the first time how bad the bleeding was and how scratched her legs really were, for her knees felt like burning and she felt her legs weaken with the movement. Temperance supported herself on the examination table, only to let it go with a yelp of surprise and pain. Her palms were also bruised. Which now seemed very obvious to her, as any human been with good reflects like her would use their hands to defense and reduce the actual damage of a fall like that.

" That's not of your business, Booth." She spoke harshly with her partner, and averybody there could see the anger in her voice. Before Booth had the chance to responde, Brennan turned to Cam. " If you don't mind, Cam, I would like to reconsider your offer and let you take a look at those bruises. They are really starting to bother me." The brunette nodded immediately, sensing that something much more deeph was bothering Brennan than her knees.

" Sure, Dr. Brennan. I'll just take my first aid kit and my doctor's apparel. Why don't you go and wait for me in your office? Angela, you could escort dr. Brennan until there. It will be better for her injuries if she put as less efforts down her legs as she can" . Cam gave Ange a significant look, and the artist followed right away. If there was anyone that Brennan would talk, that person was Angela Montenegro.

" I can carry you until your office, Bones. It will be much better if you don't overwork yourself." Booth asked hopefully, but Brennan was already grabbing her best friend's arm and giving Clark instructions of what he should do until she came back.

" Don't you dare to even touch me, Booth. I've plenty of you touching me for today. And don't worry, you won't even hear my voice from my office down here. So,it's all covered up. Clark, I'll be back soon." And with those last words, she started walking slowly and visibly painfully, for her body weight was mostly on Angela,

Seeley Booth just stood there, for the first time in his life without any kind of reaction. Which was almost impossible for a former sniper. Hodhins approached him carefully, having already starting his work of analyzing his work and waiting for the material to be decantated.

" Dude… What did you do to dr. B? She was completely out of it when she arrived here. She came here bleeding and without even noticing, she forgot to pass her Id card and had all the institute beeping, and she almost dropped an ulna. I bet that even Clark here, which is always proud to say that he doesn't like to hear about our personal lives, is curious."

" Not getting into this one, dr, Hodgins. I'll remain as professional as always." Clark answered loud and clear, procceeding with his examination of the remains, not even bothering to look up. " Althought I must say that I prefer when dr. Brennan isn't upset or hurt in any kind, agent Booth. Not only she is my boss, but someone that I highly admire and enjoy working with."

Okay, now I am in deep shit. Even Clark decided to meddle on this one. Oh, what have I done to my Bones…

" Wow, nice one, Clark! I see that you are being infected by the intimacy of this team. Just give it time, and you'll soon be having hot sex conversations leaded by me and Angela. Just give it by then, I'll finaly be king of the lab and you will cry like a baby." Hodgins laughed softly, realizing that, despite Clark give a long tired sigh, the man couldn't help nut smile lightly. " But seriously speaking now, G-man. You really look like you need someone to chat. And we're sort of…friends,I gues. After all, you were my best man on my first attempt to marry Angela, and you sure as hell will be in the second one. So, spill, man."

Booth looked at Hodgins for a second, realizing that the slime-bug – guy was right. He needed to talk. And they were friends, even if it was a weird friendship. Sighing deeply, Booth nodded with his head, gazing deathly at the two men that remain on the plataform.

" Fine. But if this conversation falls at anybody's ears that's not of you Both, You can be sure that a bullet is saved for each of you."

" Dude, I don't want even to hear what you have to say! I'm just doing my job here. There's where the remains stand. Can't you two just go to any other place?" Clark stared at those two in disbelief. Seriously, what was wrong with those people?

" Just get it over with it, Clark, What happens in the plataform, stays in the plataform. You follow the rules, and you'll be fine. Now, let Booth speak" Hodgins stared directly at the agent, the piercing blue eyes not even blinking. Booth swallowed hard before whispering as he was in some kind of conspiracy.

" I… I kissed Bones. At the crime scene, near the suspect house." He stated carefully, at the same time remembering once more how wonderfull her lips had felt over his. How tauting and spicy her tongue was, entwined with his own, how she managed to entangle her legs into his, almost making his little soldier jump into action right there and right now.

" Well, G-man, it was about time. Pardon me for the lack of manners and political correction , but even a blind person could see the dancing around between the two of you. So, you kissed her. I thought that was supposed to be a good thing. But then again, Why is dr. Brennan so upset? Is this some kind of work policy that she managed to be worried about? Because if it is, don't worry,man. She just need a small chat with Angela, that's all."

Booth swallowed very, very hard this time, only wishing that the problem was that. Oh, He've screwed big time.

" It was good,okay? No problem on that part. The thing is, I…huh… I kind of kissed her in order to make her shut up. And then, when she asked why I've done so, I answered. The true." If he could kick his own butt by now, he would.

" WHAT?"

" WHAT?"

Two different voices squeaked at the same time, for even Clark felt the urge to participate on this one, his entire body already in a normal position instead of bending, his hands still holding a small skull.

" Dude, You kissed I girl to shut her up and then you've told her so? I'm sorry, but that was just rude. Not to mention pathetic." Clark spoke calmly, gazing Booth as the agent had just got off an spaceship.

" Sorry, Booth, but Clark has a point. Specially with dr. Brennan. What the hell were you thinking? Jeez, I tought you were a ladies man. Could you be less chilvarious than that?" Booth could actually feel some anger in Hodgins's voice. And he knew he deserved, and felt a bit happy to see that Hodgins felt protective of his Bones.

" I don't know what came up over me, ok? We were bickering as always, ans she just kept talking, and talking, and all of a sudden I couldn't help but notice how her lips looked really sexy moving, and how I would like to just caught tehm with my mouth. And so, I did it. I didn't even stop to think, I just kissed her like some kind of pervert. And I was ready to be punched by Bones, But then, she kissed me back. And well, all hell broke loose. I swear that we were acting like two teenagers, groping each other everywhere, like crazy. And then, we had to stop, because, you know, our lungs needed oxygen. And that's when she asked why I did it. And I wasn't thinking straight, because really, that got to be the best kiss in my life, and huh, others parts of my body were kind of pleadind for action and I was trying to control it, so I've just blurted out the first freaking, stupid thing that formed in my head. Which was "I've just wanted you to shut up"."

He spoke so fastly that he was breathless by the end of his answer. Hodgins and Clark just stared at him, eyes wide open.

" But you didn't mean to tell her that? You kissed her for another reason?" Clark was the first to wake up from the shock, and prided carefully, realizing into what he was get yourself. Oh, boy.

" Of course I didn't mean that! Jeez, I've been wanting to kiss that woman for so much time by now." And then, just when he finished speaking he realized his words. " Hum… did I just say that outloud?"

It was Hodgins who spoke this time, a wide and sly smile that matched Angela's, his eyes sparkling.

" oh, yes you did, my friend. Not that we didn't already know, but…it's always good to hear it from the loving Romeo. I'll tell you what, G-man. Let Ange and even Cam do their magic with Brennan for a while, and us, like the trhee musketeers, will try to figure it out a nice way for you to make amends. Sounds good?" Having nothing else to do, Booth just nodded with his head. Maybe, for just one time, Hodgins could come up with a nice conspiracy, and he would be able to win his Bones.

" But I don't want to be a musketeer." Clark's voice looked like one of a whining child, and Hodgins just grinned wickedly.

" Too late for that, my friend. This is like the Ring Fellowship. Nobody's out, unless they die…"
