So very in canon characterization and voice for both characters. Bones is so terrified of falling in love, of being hurt, of being abandoned, of being betrayed. And Booth is so much falling in love....
Loved, loved, loved this:He pretended he didn't understand a lot of her scientific explanations just to keep her talking. Because he liked the sound of her voice. He wore his flashiest socks on the days he knew he'd see her, hoping he'd be able to show them off — so he could watch her shake her head and smile that little smile that always felt like a gift just for him. He made excuses to see her when they weren't working a case. It's so frakking true!! Everything he says is for HER benefit. It's interesting to watch DB play Booth in love. He looks to her for affirmation, to impress, to be noticed. Love it!!
