Summary: Their relationship is a series of firsts, and Jim wouldn’t trade that for anything.
Notes:This is the shortest thing I’ve written since I first entered this fandom. No, seriously. It’s less than 6,000 words. But I couldn’t get it out of my head, and so it got written.

Also um…character death is in this. So bring tissues. (I feel like I should say I’m sorry, or something. I’ve never killed them before, so I don’t know what the protocol is here.)

Title taken from the song Clark Gable by the Postal Service. The song that Bones plays in his quarters is Wild Horses by the Rolling Stones.

( It’s hard to notice, but Jim catches on during an away mission. )

ETA 8/17/12: This fic was the recipient of a Bronze Medal in the jim_and_bones Rec Olympics for Best Angst, which because I am dumb I somehow missed it before now.
