Crazy short 267 word drabble. Tried something new with this one. Enjoy!

Dru

And you love how she barely looks up from her computer screen while the words leave her mouth. Disapproving and slightly irritated. But you don't care. You're in a ridiculously playful mood tonight, and seeing her fret the way you're making her now is all too amusing.

"Booones," you sing her name and draw out the vowels. When she lifts her head you can tell she's startled to find how close your face is to hers, leaning over her desk.

"What?" she scoots away from you but you can see the grin catching at the corners of her mouth.

"I see that Bones. I see you smiling."

HA! Because that means you've won. Once she's smiled you're officially the winner. She does smile, fleeting and beautiful, but quickly erases it and stands up.

"You're acting like a child." She's about ready to dismiss you but you grab her wrist and can practically hear the breath hitching in her throat.

"Honey bee. That's what you remind me of. A little honey bee."

You love the emotion that flashes across her eyes. The hints of longing you recognize so well. The adoration and fear. Because she likes it when you speak to her in that low tone.

"Booth…did you want to eat or not?" she pulls her wrist away. You look up at her tiredly, because the loss of only short contact has left you feeling empty. But you see that smile.

And you know you've won.
