A/N: So basically I wrote this to appease Bella, who refused to review my other two stories unless I wrote fluff. Plus, I have been writing ALOT of angst lately. So I've decided to write this story called Moments. Basically it will be a series of drabbles/oneshots about moments in B&B's relationship. It will be updated sporadically and here's the first. I hope you enjoy!
The Sunset
She looked at the pinkish sky and smiled. She hadn't sat and watched a sunset in a long time. She wondered if this was going to be one of the new things in her life that she would have to get used to.
Her life had shifted radically in the last two weeks, so much so that she was unsure of who she was. All because of one single thing.
She was dating Seeley Booth.
The man in question was lying next to her, his eyes half closed as he fiddled with the bracelet on her arm.
"What are you thinking about?" he asked.
"You." She replied simply. She felt the warmth of his smile and when she turned her head to confirm it, the smile grew bigger.
"C'mere." He said, tugging her arm so she laid down next to him. She rested her head against his shoulder and entwined her fingers with his.
"So how long do we do this?" She asked.
He chuckled. "You are so impatient."
"I am not." She protested.
"Are too." He said, reaching over and tickling her stomach.
"Booth, stop!" she squirmed.
"No way!" he said, rolling over her and tickling her harder.
"Booth….stop…I…" she gasped, as peals of laughter erupted from her.
He stopped and she realized the comprising position they were in.
"Booth…" she trailed off, as she saw the predatory look in his eyes.
Immediately his lips were on hers and she had no choice but to wrap her arms around his neck and kiss him back, pulling him as close to her as possible.
The broke apart and then his lips were on hers again, moving their way down her jaw and then along her neck, pausing to suckle at the spot that made her gasp every time. She could almost, almost, forget that they were outside.
"Booth, we….Booth…" she tried to explain but he wasn't listening, instead creeping his hands under her shirt. She shuddered when he touched her skin and wished they were back in her bed rather than on a hill, in the middle of a park. Damn him and his extracurricular activities!
"Seeeeleey." She moaned, causing his head to snap up. It was as if he suddenly realized where they were as well. He backed away and sat up, fiddling with his watch nervously.
"Sorry, I got carried away, I…"
"Don't apologize. Just take me home, okay?" she said breathlessly.
"But that's not what this was about."
She looked confused. "Booth, what are you talking about?"
"We're good at the sex, Temperance. We both know that. But we haven't allowed ourselves time for the rest. You know, the relationship part."
She sat up next to him. She thought about all the dinners they had shared, the arguments, the car rides, the guy hugs, everything that had led them to this point.
She looped her arm around his and rested her head against his shoulder. They both took a moment to catch their breath, watching the last vestiges of the sun sink from their sight.
"I think we're pretty good at the relationship part." She said softly.
He smiled and kissed her crown.
"Me too Bones." He said. "Me too."
