“Defenseless”
A drabble of 100 words
By December21st
Fandom: Castle
Rating: PG
Pairing: Castle/Beckett, reference to Kate/Josh
Warnings: Spoilers for “A Deadly Game” and Season 3 through “Lucky Stiff.” One swear word.
Summary: Beckett’s not thinking about what she’s not going to do. Response to
castle100 challenge kiss.
It was a mistake letting Castle get this close again.
After last summer, Beckett built a little fortress around her heart. It had a moat and a drawbridge. She met Josh, who was comfortable and safe.
And then Castle, damn him, got by her defenses and got her to care about him. Again.
She’s not going to think about what kissing him felt like. (Amazing’s accurate.)
She’s not going to dump another boyfriend for Castle. She’s not. Josh is the only defense Beckett has left against Castle. Because if Castle breaks her heart again, she doesn’t think she’ll ever recover.
