"Better that I'm not. I don't wanna be perfect." Sounded kind of boring, actually. He liked it that Bones put it that way, but it was never Jim's aim to be perfect. He was only human, and that included all the flaws that made him a unique individual.

He was just glad that those flaws weren't nearly enough for Bones to not want to be part of his life. In a way it felt like Bones loved those flaws just as much as everything else about him. And if anything that was what was perfect about this— about them. That they loved everything about each other, no matter what.

He licked his lips and swallowed dryly at Bones's next words, his heart beating fast against his ribcage. His hands moved up to cup Bones's face and he closed the distance between them to fit their mouths in a warm, lingering kiss, inhaling deeply as his fingers curled around Bones's neck, keeping him close. By the time he pulled away, he was a little breathless, his forehead pressed to Bones's own.

"Sometimes I don't know how all the love I feel for you even fits inside me." He grinned, closing his eyes and kissing Bones again, and again, arms wrapping around his neck. "Can't believe how lucky I am."
