Hi! This is a little fic about the way I think everyone finding out about Castle and Beckett SHOULD have gone. This is my very first fanfic, so please be nice!
"Yo!" Javier Esposito came racing through the precinct, bounding over to where Kevin Ryan sat typing away at his desk.
"What?" Ryan asked.
"Dude, you are not going to BELIEVE what just happened. You know how we've trying to figure out who Beckett's who guy is, right?" Ryan nodded, trying to feign curiosity, when we knew full well whom that guy was. Esposito continued, his voice barely a whisper. "It's Castle!" Esposito gave a high-pitched giggle, that made many of the others sitting around the 12th precinct turn to stare. Ryan jumped up out of his desk, grabbed Esposito by the arm and dragged him along towards the break room, where no one would overhear them. The last thing Beckett and Castle needed was Gates finding out about their secret. Once he had closed the door, he turned to face Esposito.
"Bro, are you sure? Wouldn't Castle have told us? " he started, trying to convince Espo otherwise. But it was no use.
"No." Esposito giggled again. He looked like a toddler on Christmas morning. "I went downstairs to the photocopier room, and the door was closed, and they were in there! Beckett and Castle!" He giggled again. Ryan sighed.
"So? That doesn't mean –" Ryan was cut off as Esposito started rambling again.
"No, you don't understand. They – they stood there – and Castle – hehe – he kissed her!" Esposito collapsed onto the couch, trying to muffle his fit of giggles. Ryan stood there, thinking. Esposito noticed his friend's strange reaction. "Bro! Come on! This is the greatest news ever! Why the long face?" Ryan sat down beside him.
"Listen Espo, you have got to keep this a secret."
"Yeah, of course! Oh, I can't wait to see the look on Beckett's face when –"
"No. You can't tell anyone. And that includes Beckett and Castle."
"What?" Esposito said. Ryan sighed.
"We should respect their privacy. They'll tell us when they're ready." Esposito stayed silent for a moment.
"I guess you're right." He patted Ryan on the back, but then stopped suddenly. "Hang on. How do YOU know about Castle and Beckett?"
