@Docanthropology “…and the part of me that doesn’t let someone this important walk away.”
He kissed her once more, softer now, but with a warmth that made the teasing disappear.
“Because I’m not exactly interested in walking away from you either.”
@Docanthropology “You want all of me?” A faint smile touched his lips. “Then you better be ready for the whole package. The stubbornness, the bad jokes, the overprotective FBI agent…”
He paused, his thumb tracing her cheek.
+++
@Docanthropology “You know what I want?” He murmured. I want you to stop wondering if you’re allowed to want me. Because you are. And if we’re really doing this… then we’re doing this together.”
He gave her a soft kiss, lingering for a moment before pulling back with a playful smile. +++
@Docanthropology He leaned in, pressing a tender kiss to her forehead before whispering, “I want a family with you, Bones. I want all of it. You, me…and maybe a little Booth running around driving us both crazy.”
A playful grin returned to his face.
“Come here, Bones.”
@Docanthropology His teasing expression softened as he reached up, gently brushing a strand of hair away from her face.
“But if you’re serious…” He paused, his eyes holding hers. “Yeah. I’m serious too.”

@Docanthropology A crooked grin tugged at his mouth.
“Although fair warning, if our kid gets your brains and my charm, we’re gonna be in serious trouble.”
@Docanthropology “I gotta tell you, Bones…. I kinda like the sound of that.”
He paused, his expression softening.
“Never really pictured myself doing the whole family thing again. But with you? Yeah. I think I could do it. I think I’d want too. +++
@Docanthropology “That’s the look that usually means you’re about to drag me into trouble.
He leaned his forehead lightly against hers, his eyes never leaving hers.
“So….” He whispered, smiling. “Why don’t you tell me what’s going on inside that brilliant mind of yours?”
@Docanthropology “What do we do now?” He tilted his head, pretending to think it over. “Well… I’d say we start with not overthinking it for once.
That mischievous glint caught his attention, and his grin widened.
“I know that look, Bones.” His voice dropped into a warm teasing tone. ++
