x | meme status: not accepting!
Usually when anyone from the Smithsonian barges into his office, Sweets gets very upset and will demand to know why said person can't just make a proper appointment. Bones will get a quip from Sweets, but often the delivery sounds more like someone who is exhausted and done with everyone walking over him. Perhaps a part of him has quietly accepted that out of all of the people on Bones's team, Bones is the least likely to barge in or annoy him, so Sweets has figured that it probably must be somewhat serious.
Bones was the first one to notice when Sweets broke up with Daisy. The latter thought he hid it well, but Bones noticed how oddly professional the psychiatrist was acting towards the bubbly intern and even putting distance between himself and Daisy if she tried getting too close.
"I take it that her decision to choose her career and dismiss you as a last resort was the nail in the coffin?" Bones asked Sweets eventually.
"Look, she can do what she wants – I don't want her to not do something that could improve her career and credentials," Bones sighed. "It's just, the way she said it...felt like I was a burden to her or the reason why she was a rotational intern on some of the cases and not a published doctor with recent findings to report on and share. Then she comes back and acts like the break-up never happened."
"So...if you're not a virgin, then why do you seem like you're a puppy when you're dating someone?" Bones once asked, partially out of curiosity and perhaps he wanted to push Sweets a little.
"Doctor, you should know that it's a honeymoon phase – the majority of people in new relationships look at it with rose-tinted glasses and act more giddy or spontaneous when it's something new," Bones reasoned with a shrug.
"That's not what I asked Sweets..."
If Bones was with someone during the time they worked with Sweets, the latter isn't afraid to turn the tables and lightly ask how things are going with Bones and his partner. Sure he's not going to get straight answers, but Sweets gets some satisfaction trying to make Bones see how awkward it is to question a relationship or the intimate details of one.
"You? With a weapon? Nah Sweets, you're too nice to handle one!" Bones insisted with a wave of his hand.
Contrary to belief, Sweets did get some training and certification before his current position with the FBI. Caroline insisted it was wise he have some way of defending himself and not be completely green if something went south. He will rarely use one, unless the situation calls for one.
"So Cher, you seem awfully invested in seeing Dr. Sweets, despite complaining nonstop a couple of months ago about the probation," Caroline noted to Bones one day in passing.
"I just don't want my gun to be taken again," Bones insisted.
Caroline doesn't buy it, naturally and likely shot him a sort of skeptical, yet knowing look.
Clark and some of the squinterns probably made private bets about Bones and Sweets.
When Bones thought it would be funny to mimic the squinterns for Halloween, Sweets was a little baffled and initially thought Bones was trying to be a stereotypical nerd.
"Come on Sweets! Really? Are you that dense?" Bones groaned.
