Work Text:

When Angela received a call from Toni, she wasn't entirely sure of what to do.

Angela had never thought of herself as anything but completely straight, making Toni's affection for her a bit of a surprise, especially when she'd been expecting the younger woman to go to either Zack or Hodgins.

However, she didn't feel completely put off by the apparent crush either. She wondered what that could mean- Was she bi? She did find Toni very pretty, and the fact that this opinion was returned made her excited in a way she didn't know how to process.

Toni invited her to come down to the girl's bathroom on the ground floor of the museum. To her own shock, Angela found herself agreeing and making her way down there.

When she arrived, she found that the bathroom was empty aside from the delivery woman, who was smirking at her.

"Look, Toni, I feel as though there's been some sort of misunderstanding- Miscommunication?- Here" she tried to say. Toni raised an eyebrow.

"What's there to misinterpret?" she asked. "You're here aren't you"

"I'm not a lesbian"

"I'm not either" Toni smiled. It was true, she wasn't. She did find herself somewhat attracted to both Hodgins and Zack, but she'd always had a slightly higher preference for women and Angela was undeniably beautiful.

"After you" Toni said, gesturing toward the biggest stall door and inviting Angela inside. She considered for a moment. Was she comfortable potentially having sex with a woman? With Toni?

...You know what? Fuck it.
