“The Date”

By December21st
Fandom: Castle
Rating: PG
Pairing: Castle/Beckett
Warnings: None.
Summary: Not quite the perfect end to the perfect evening. Response to (my suggested) castle100 challenge: candlelight dinner.
Esposito’s working late on a case when Castle and Beckett come in to the precinct. She’s wearing a police windbreaker over a short black dress with high heels; he’s wrapped in a standard-issue fire department blanket instead of a jacket; their faces are dirty with soot.
“I could …”
“No.”
“What about …”
“No.”
“Kate, I’m sorry!” Beckett doesn’t even respond, just fixes Castle with an icy glare, scoops a keyring out of her desk, and strides towards the locker room.
“Dude, spill,” Esposito instructs Castle.
“You know Beckett's new apartment?”
“Yeah?”
“You know how candlelight dinners usually involve fire?”
