The First Date in the Relationships

Author Notes

I couldn't decide between the two songs for each couple so this happened.

Side A is for Angela and Hodgins. Side B is for Booth and Zack.

Words in italic are Zack's thoughts. Underlined words are Seeley's thoughts. This takes place after S01E03 – A Boy in a Tree. Enjoy!

I introduced the diner they all go to some episodes (seasons?) earlier. (I figured why not?).

This story contains a blatant reference to gemmi999's Zack/Booth story, "Raspberry Mocha's".

The song used in the next part will be in Portuguese but will have the translation inside parenthesis. The chapter will also be in English, so relax my non-Portuguese-speaking friends. (Penelope Garcia moment).

The song used in this part (04/05) is 'Too Lost in You' by Sugababes (I blame Love Actually).

Disclaimer: I do not own Bones (or any of the characters). I do not own Sugababes of any of their songs.

Side B

Track Two

"You do know you are going to have to let me go any time soon, right?"

Booth just grunted at the man he was holding. Zack muttered something that sounded like 'Bad FBI agent' and looked at his lover's face.

"Not letting you go."

"I do not want you to; I was merely warning you of our future actions. But I believe we could stay like this until the lights come back."

First and Second Lines

"What is it, Seeley?"

"3 guys heading our way." – He patted his pockets. – "Why did I leave my gun at home?"

"Because you weren't expecting needing it." – Zack reached inside his suit's pocket and pulled out his Desert Eagle. – "I brought mine."

"Huh. Why I didn't see that when you were undressing?"

"I believe your attention was more focused on other areas. Can we get out of here? Just because I'm armed, it doesn't mean I enjoy direct confrontation."

Each went in a different direction and forehead met forehead.

"Zack?"

"Yes, Seeley?"

"You can't really see, can you?"

The squint looked down in shame.

"No."

"Hold on to me."

Zack's hand subtlely moved south from Seeley's back and slightly squeezed Booth's ass. When Booth turned to his lover for an explanation, Zack just said:

"Really can't see a thing."

Third and Fourth lines

"So, now that we have survived the blackout; how about some coffee?"

Not that we'll need any to stay awake with what I've planned.

They entered 'The Royal Diner'.

Booth asked for a slice of cherry pie and an espresso while Zack asked for a raspberry mocha ('No dessert?' 'I'll get my desert when we go to bed. Or couch. Or floor. Or car. Or rug. Or kitchen table.').

"You really can't stop talking about the table, can you?"

"It was an amazing night."

"That it was."

Fifth, Sixth and Seventh lines

Zack smiled seductively at his lover from across the table.

It's amazing how a smile from him makes me want to grab him and yell 'Mine!'.

The agent did the same gesture.

It's uncanny how a simple smile makes my heart race.

8th line

The squint's hand brushed against Booth's arm. His heart started racing at the touch and he was debating whether to touch him back or not, when another seductive smile – which was proof the touch was deliberate – make him say:

"To hell with it."

His hand curled around his lover's neck and pulled him in for a hot steamy kiss.

"Home?"

"Race you to the car."

9th line

Booth paid and they ran out of the diner towards the place where they parked the car.

Zack was smiling like he was playing tag with Parker instead of teasing Seeley.

The younger man seemed to think his lover was too slow so he grabbed Booth's and started to drag him to their destination.

The agent had no other choice but to let himself be carried away.

10 and 11th lines

"Zack, slow down!"

The squint turned but kept both running and pulling Booth. That is, until a stone found him.

And both of them fell. Zack with his back to the sidewalk and Seeley on top of him.

"Are you okay?"

"I fell on something soft. Are you okay?"

"No broken bones."

"Of course that's what you'd say. Any flesh injuries?"

"No."

"Good." – The agent captured his squint's lips.

12th, 13th and 14th lines

"Seeley. Seeley. Seeley!" – Was said between the kisses.

"What?"

"We are still on the sidewalk. I would like us to get home and not arrested for indecent exposure."

"Fine. Up." – Booth stood up and lifted his lover.

I hate to admit, but Angela has a point. I don't dislike being manhandled by him.

15th, 16th and 17th lines

"I'm sorry."

"For what, Seeley?"

"I'm sorry for the fact that I forgot where we were and just kept kissing you. It's just that when I'm near you I -" – Zack's hand covered Booth's mouth and cut off the agent's speech.

"I'm not. And I know."

18th, 19th, 20th, 21st and 22nd lines

Zack's mouth came close to Seeley's ear and whispered:

"Let us get home before I lose myself as well, shall we?"

He grinned at his lover suppressed shiver and continued to walk towards the car.

"You are just evil!" – He set off after the younger man.

"Are you complaining?"

The agent paused and appeared to be deep in thought.

"No. I love you the way you are."

23nd and 24th lines

Zack took a deep breath to calm his heart. It didn't work.

Even though I'm used to it, whenever he says it my heart starts racing.

Will it continue after years of being with him?

I'm willing to find out.

He smiled.

"I love you too."

25th and 26th lines

"Zack!"

"I zoned out again, didn't I?"

"Yeah. What was the song this time?"

The squint mumbled something.

"What? Didn't quite catch that."

"It's embarrassing. 'Too Lost in You' by Sugababes."

27th, 28th, 29th and 30th lines

"Stop laughing! It's not funny!"

"It is! My boyfriend likes a girlband!"

"Stop it!"

Booth was about to answer when he slipped on the sidewalk.

31st and 32nd lines

"I should've let the concrete teach you a lesson. You're heavy."

"You're stronger than you look."

"Thanks. I guess."

33rd and 34th lines

They kept walking back to the car ('What's the problem with gravity today? It seems driven to make us stay on the ground.' 'I think that is a sign that we shouldn't use the kitchen table.')

"No offence Zack but, I'm hanging to the last threads of my self control, so could you just-"

"I understand." – He stepped to the side. - "But then again…"

Zack gave his lover one of the most enticing kisses ever and practically skipped to the car.

35th, 36th and 37th lines

"That's it! No more Mr. Nice FBI guy!"

"I am so scared." – The mocking had begun.

Zack managed to run quite a bit before being tackled.

"No fair, you're approximately twice my size!"

Booth lifted the younger man and threw him over his shoulders.

"Seeley! I'm not a bag of potatoes! Let me down!"

The agent chuckled and continued his walk.

38th, 39th, 40th, 41st and 42nd lines

Inside the car Zack was pouting:

"Do you do the Neanderthal routine on all your first dates?"

"No. But I also never had sex in the car before the date even began."

"It was very fun. Thank you for taking me out on a date, Seeley. I appreciated it."

43rd, 44th and 45th lines

Memories of the date flew around Booth's head as he led his squint towards the bedroom, pausing only to send a sad sigh to the kitchen table.

"Later, Seeley. Gravity is not happy with us today."

"Gravity can't be happy, it's a natural phenomenon by which physical bodies attract each other with a force proportional to their masses." – A pause. – "I have been hanging around the lab too much."

"Gravity can be happy. It's called personification." – At his lover's confused face he explained. – "It's when in literature you give objects, or in this case forces of nature, human feelings and quirks."

46th and 47th lines

Just before drifting off to sleep Seeley whispered to his sleeping lover:

"I'm too lost in you."

48th line
