AN: Because there needs to be more stuff written about the geekily-adorable King of the Lab. And I'm only going to say this once: I don't own the television series Bones. Also, if any of you have ideas/requests, don't be afraid to tell me, I can always use the inspiration :)


Situation #1 : Of Suits and Compliments

Looking up as he entered his boss' office, Zack almost stopped as he saw Agent Booth contently sitting on Dr. Brennan's couch, absently staring at the wall ahead of him, obviously waiting for Dr. Brennan for her to finish up what needed to be done here for their most recent case. He, now slightly hesitantly, went to her desk and placed the folder of information in front of her, Bones' attention drawn to it as she opened it and began reading it without a word. As she read it, Zack dared to glance over his shoulder only to see Booth's vision had turned on him, causing the assistant to almost jump in shock.

Turning around in a hurry, Booth's eyes still on him (one of his eyebrows now raised in question at his sudden turn), Zack opened his mouth and tried to think of something rational and understandable to say to the FBI agent to be polite. Thinking back to once when Angela had told him that guys liked to be praised even more then girls, the genius focused on the first thing that caught his eye, it being the no-doubt expensive suit Booth was wearing.

"That is a very satisfactory suit Agent Booth," he managed to finally get out.

The older man only narrowed his eyes, and Zack innerly paniced as he knew it wasn't a good sign.

"It successfully accentuates your figure," he tried to reitterate, remembering again something Angela had told him that guys were usually self-absorbed with their outlook.

This time, Booth's eyes widened dramatically and he stood quickly, looking over at Bones, who was still reading the file, and saying in a hurry, "Bones, it's time to go. I think your squint is hitting on me."

"I'm not trying to harm you," Zack said in confusion, as always taking the literal meaning to Booth's words, "I am merely trying to please and capture your favor."

"NOW Bones!"
