Bones: The Weird and Wonderful

Sweets #3: Perfect

Dedicated to @EmilyCorn2
Thank you for being so patient with me, lovey. I hope you enjoy!

Humming to herself in the lab, Emily Brennan moved around her desk, carefully placing the glass slide under the microscope. Bending down to look into the lens, she smiled and jotted down a couple of notes for her to remember later on.

Most wouldn't be able to tell that Emily and Temperance were sisters. Mainly because of Emily's red hair, green eyes and tan skin, but also in her ability to express her emotions more willingly. Temperance sometimes stated that it would be Emily's greatest weakness but Emily would often just shrug and move on. She loved her sister very much but sometimes, she had to brush off her words and move on.

"Guess who?" Two arms wrapped around Emily's waist, causing her to get a fright as she looked away from the microscope. With a smile, Emily turned and wrapped her arms around her boyfriends neck and hugged him tightly.

"I missed you."
"Really? I couldn't tell." Doctor Lance Sweets, a psychologist for the FBI, commented, kissing his girlfriend on the cheek. Emily smiled and rolled her eyes.

"I'm going to find the person who decided it would be a good idea to introduce you to sarcasm and have them hung, drawn and quartered."
"You wouldn't do that. You'd get fired. Besides, you have the wrong mentality to be a murderer." Emily raised an 'I-dare-you-to-say-that-again' eyebrow. "Well, maybe you would but I don't think so." Lance kissed her, the kiss sending Emily's brain miles into the sky as she kissed him back. A knock on the door broke them apart, an annoyed look crossing Emily's face when she saw who it was.

Even though they had been dating for five months now, Daisy Wick, Lance's ex-girlfriend and Temperances sometimes intern, continued to be the bane of Emily's existence.

"Yes, Miss Wick?" Emily asked, an edge creeping into her voice. Sweets looked down at Emily, a small frown on his face as he watched her face harden, his brain suddenly trying to work up some conclusion to her change in attitude.

"I'm sorry to interrupt... whatever this is but Doctor Brennan requires your assistance." Emily sighed.

"I'll be right there," turning back to Sweets, she sighed. "Come see me before you leave?"
"Of course." Pressing her lips to his once more, Emily unwrapped herself from the comfort of Sweets arms and marched past Daisy, her red pony tail flying as she speedily walked past her, making it look like she had fire bursting from her head.

Before she got too far away, she heard Daisy giggle and call Sweets 'Lancelot.' Emily froze and turned around, getting a brief glimpse of Daisy flirting with Sweets. He, however, looked uncomfortable at Daisy's approach to flirting with him, which made Emily smirk.

"Hopeless. Absolutely hopeless." She murmured but deep down, she was freaking out. This had happened before. She hated the small glimmer of a thought that had slipped into her thoughts. The fear that she could lose the man who made her feel completely loved and wanted to a woman who... well who had loved him first. Emily thought back to when she asked him out. It had been a month since he and Daisy had broken up and he had been hanging around Emily for the entirety of that time.

"What do you want, Lance? I'm working."
"I know but it's boring at the office. Don't you need any- ohh brain. Can I touch it?" Emily smiled and shook her head at his quick change in thought path.

"One time. Only once." Sweets had smiled wider, making him look like a kid in a candy store. Reaching out with a finger to the brain that sat in the bowel by Emily's computer, he tentatively poked it.
