Hi everyone! This is my very first attempt to fanfiction. And I know that the characters, especially Kate may be a little OOC, but after all this is just where my fantasy took me. It's just my shot at this incredible intense scene and how I would have loved it to go.
So please just enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters. They belong to the marvellous Andrew W. Marlow and ABC.
And finally she found the courage to open that door again. Looking at Castle, who was standing there and waiting for her to come out again as if he knew what was going on inside her head, she slowly moved forward towards him. He smiled at her and opened his arms, but the expression on her face showed him that this wasn't the right move yet.
"Castle, I... Look, I am really confused right now. Mike is dead and I don't know yet how to live with it. It seems as if everything here in LA is against me and I really need all my concentration to keep my sanity. At the moment everything is just too much for me and this is definitely not the right time for us. Maybe... Maybe when all this is over and we have cought Royce's killer and are back home... Maybe we could sit down together again and finish our talk? Can you wait until then?"
Castle did not know what to say, he had not expected this outburst of feelings from Beckett. It showed him how seriously overwhelmed she was with the whole situation they were in. So he just smiled again at her and said: "Of course. Take you all the time you need. But I was thinking... I was thinking, maybe... maybe I could just hold you for a short time. You really seem in need of something like this right now." She looked up at him thankfully and moved one step closer, so he could take her into his arms.
"We'll get him. We'll find Royce's killer. I promise you to do everything I can to help you." he whispered into her ear. Still in his arms she looked up at him and deeply into his eyes. Their foreheads touched and their eyes did all the talking, no words needed in this moment. She smiled and hugged him back, letting her head sink onto his shoulder. This very moment, he was the luckiest man on earth. It was awesome to hold her in his arms and feel her hair on his cheek and just breath in her sweet smell. He did need no more right in this moment and cherished every second of it.
And also Beckett felt relieved. He was there with her and she felt safe and comfortable within his strong arms. She closed her eyes and sighed. They stood there like this for a few minutes and when they were releasing each other again, they both knew that everything between them was alright.
"So... We should really get some sleep now. Good night... Rick."
"Good night. Kate. See you tomorrow."
