Pairing: Castle/Beckett
Warnings: Spoilers for "Cops & Robbers"
Summary: It's been a long day. Post-ep for "Cops & Robbers."
Beckett doesn’t want to leave. The evening has been delightful, full of smiles and laughter, celebrating Castle and Martha’s continued well-being after facing dangerous bank robbers. It feels like she’s a part of their family; like spending time with her dad.
It’s not that Kate wants to sleep with Castle; at least, not tonight. (She wonders when that thought started feeling quite so natural.) It’s just that she doesn’t want to go home to her empty apartment and dream about what might have happened. So when Martha offers their guest room for the night, Kate’s essentially already decided to stay.
