"Is it? Or is it just a sign that you're safe?" If his heart was used to the exercise, then fewer the chances Bones would actually have some sort of seizure. Although, knowing the doctor and the stress levels he usually handled, Jim couldn't entirely discard the chance that it might happen. (Just kidding.)
He huffed and rolled his eyes a little, shaking his head. "No there wasn't! It was definitely a compliment. I like your ridiculous sappiness. It's one of the sweetest things about you, which I happen to enjoy a lot." And it wasn't something a lot of people would expect from the grumpy doctor, which meant Jim was one of the extremely few who ever even got to see that side of him, let alone enjoy it. He definitely liked that kind of exclusivity.
Jim kept smiling all innocently as Bones huffed for a little longer, lips stretching even more so when Bones moved and did exactly what Jim was expecting —and waiting— for him to do. Still, he let out a yelp when Bones swept him up into his arms, his own curling around the doctor's neck. The start of a laugh bubbled its way up his throat before he caught himself and bit it back, letting out a softer and quieter chuckle so he wouldn't disturb Joanna's sleep.
He shifted a little in Bones's arms, kissing his cheek, then tipping his head to nuzzle along his jaw and down his neck. "Yeah? And here I was going to name you my prince charming, swooping in and carrying me off in his strong arms."
