I had a few options for this, but since some of them are in shows where I can stand having the sexual tension dragged out for longer, the answer ended up being a no-brainer: Booth and Brennan of course. It now seems to be at the point where the showrunners almost think it is too late, because here are two characters who are so clearly in love in a very fundamental way, but they're really really resisting taking that final step :( It doesn't have to be a show killer! I know that it often is, and it is even tougher when it is the relationship between the two leads at stake (because witness how well they've ultimately handled Hodgins and Angela), but I really believe that with Hart Hanson and other talented writers at the helm, they could do it beautifully. 4x26 demonstrated that, even if it was a dream sequence! And really, it would just be a crying shame not to get to see these two being all hot and passionate more often - they do it so goddamn well!
Whatever happens, bring on season 6. I've missed them so much over the summer.
