I Know You Know

"Look Jim, get off your lazy ass and come study! Just because you're a Grade A genius doesn't mean you can't help a friend." Jim laughed at Bones' statement and stay put, sipping on his beer. Mmm... Budweiser classic. Nothing quite like 21st century drinks. Now THOSE people really knew how to make a drink.

"Bones, look, not to rain on your parade but I'm not a genius... Never have been, never will be. Now leave me be, m'kay?" Bones laughed dryly. Jim frowned. Maybe Bones was drunk... But it was only nine in the morning, Bones usually tried to wait 'til ten...

"Jim. I don't fucking care what illusions you have. You are a genius. I'm not sure if you've always been this smart, but I do know you always will be. Now quit being an insufferable little shit and help out someone a little less fortunate." Jim allowed himself a small smile at his friend's words. While they may seem harsh to any one else, they meant a lot to Jim.

Bones was one of the few people who saw the real him...

Jim had never been more grateful to know someone.
