Hidden Talents
One room, one bed.
“You take the bed, Bones.”
“We’re adults. We can share the bed.”
“I’m not sleeping with you.”
+Booth stares into the darkness, trying to ignore the call of the dice. It’s like an itch on his back that he can’t reach.
A soft laugh cuts through his thoughts. He turns his head to see her lying on the opposite side of the bed. “Bones?”
Silence.
Later she laughs again; Booth smiles.
She hears his secrets without judgment, plays Roxie like a pro, and laughs in her sleep. What other hidden talents does his gorgeous partner have?
That's just fab. Great work with the prompt :) There's a real atmosphere to this one.
I have a whole new respect for you after trying these things btw, they are rock hard!

*g* They are challenging -- but addictive. I'm glad you decided to dip your toes in. :)
I'm thrilled you liked that line about the dice; I thought it was important to have the gambling figure in there somewhere.
Thanks again!

Especially loved these lines:
Booth stares into the darkness, trying to ignore the call of the dice. It’s like an itch on his back that he can’t reach. Love the way you cut to the bone (no pun intended)with insights into Booth.
She hears his secrets without judgment, plays Roxie like a pro, and laughs in her sleep. What other hidden talents does his gorgeous partner have?
Oh, Baby!! He can only GUESS her other talents. :-)
*blushes* Why thank you, madam. :)
He can only GUESS her other talents. :-)
LMAO Yes, but hopefully someday he'll know firsthand. ;)
Love the idea of Brennan laughing in her sleep and love the use of the word 'gorgeous' - speaks volumes.
Inspirational!
I'm glad you enjoyed the idea of Brennan laughing in her sleep. :) Thanks for your feedback.
Thank you!!! You are a genius!! it was great, and it fulfilled my doubts :)
The title was perfect and I have to coincide with everyone that this specific part, "Booth stares into the darkness, trying to ignore the call of the dice. It’s like an itch on his back that he can’t reach." It's so Booth. And their little fight for who gets to sleep on the bed, alkdajsdlaskñd! everything.
Lovely, as usual.
Comment Hidden Talents
You've captured them in the familiar, bickering and in a new place discovering.

Thank you for the lovely compliment.
Re: Comment Hidden Talents
Thank you! Glad you liked that image of Brennan. And feel free to squish either of us. *g*
I like your take on the sleeping arrangements in that episode. (that's still a debate btw my mom and I - she argues that they had separate rooms; I think they shared the bed)
that's still a debate btw my mom and I
It's the question that launched a thousand fanfics! ;)
