Disclaimer: I do not own the Castle characters or their story lines. I just borrow them for fun.
Summary: during the wedding of Jenny and Kevin, Beckett announces some bad news for Castle.
The night was soft, warm spirit, marriage, Kevin was a real success, the party was at its height, could be heard laughing, singing, everyone rejoiced in the happiness of the happy couple.
Castle preferred after a while despite the good mood to go get some fresh air outside, Beckett noticed it and waited a moment before joining him.
B: It's a great evening!
He turned and took his charming smile when he saw her.
C: it approaches perfection.
B: What are you doing outside?
C: calm can be fun sometimes, do not you think?
B: you have to say.
A silence between them, not an awkward silence, but rather relaxing.
C: and you why are you out?
B: For the same reason as you I suppose.
In the background, soft music has just begun. (Flightless Bird American Mouth Iron & Wine Twilight)
C: You want to dance?
B: here, now?
C: yes, why is it compulsory dance on a track?
B: No, no you're right.
He extends his hand, she stared at her, and a slow movement took it to him in contact with the two skins, their eyes met.
On first impulse shy, he put his second hand in the hollow of his back, which resulted in induce a shrug but also to bring together their two bodies.
They have now balanced to the rhythm of music.
The gap between them decreased gradually as the notes were passed on, they lived in one of these intimate moments that only belongs to them.
the second hand of castle held firmly the hand of Beckett, presumably for fear that she escapes.
She felt her barrier collapsed, but that it was nothing , it's risky thought she, but she was well, feeling confident, she laid her hand on his chest Castle, where she could to feel the beating of his heart.
When their fingers entwined, Castle noticed something or rather felt something, a ring on the ring finger of Beckett must say they did not have any time to them so far, of course it had noticed her dress, her beautiful locks that sometimes covered a corner of her face, her bare neck, but not this ring. He touched him gently.
C: is that your mother?
She grinned with his mouth, lifted her chin to face him and say as soon as possible.
B: No, it's Josh, he asked me to marry him last night
Everything collapsed, the dance ceased while the notes themselves, continued to play.
he didn't look her right away, preferring to focus on the ring, he swallowed his saliva difficult.
C: Oh, okay.
Came his turn to raise the chin and be confronted with the reality at the same time he meets her gaze. He tried to smile as best he could, it had to seem credible.
C: Then congratulations are in order.
She nodded her thanks for the head, as if she was ashamed to tell him thank you.
She was surprised to see recapture his hand and start to dance but this time was different.
Away between them was back, he even dug, consciously or not, Castle himself does not know, he took less firmly Beckett's hand, thinking now that she had already escaped him.
As for herself, her hand had regained its original position, that is at the shoulder of Castle, their moment of intimacy was now finished, they were no longer the duo Castle / Beckett, He was him or at least what was left of him and her, she suddenly felt desperately alone, the silence could be nice in the beginning was unbearable at this point, but she was more afraid of what they might say.
He also could not stand the silence and decided to break it, he made a movement to start talking, she realized this, then she lifted her chin to see his face but no words came out of the mouth of Castle He stared at her eyes shining.
She lowered her eyes, what she saw in her eyes was unbearable especially knowing that it was she who had caused, she shook her hand, as hard as she could, she would not leave She wanted him to prevent her leaving him.
He responded to his gesture by readjusting his hand in the hollow of her back, closer to him again and continued to dance.
They were like magnets even after a devastating announcement for them, they could not break away from each other.
She put her hand on his chest again, the beats from heart of Castle were faster than previously, she thought as hers too.
she wedged his face in the hollow of the shoulder of Castle, in such a way that he could smell her perfume, they had both eyes closed, presumably to enjoy the sensation of their body panels, beats their respective cores, this feeling of becoming one, to this dance, last dance itself.
The music was now finished for some time, but they preferred to ignore it, preferring to live in the moment.
He felt her tremble, then he released his grip and watched.
C: You should go back inside to Kate, you tremble, you'll catch cold.
He had not realized that if she shook it to resist his urge to burst into tears, and his creepy was not from the cold, no, but the sensation from body close to his Castle.
She love Josh, but since it announced the engagement at Castle all seemed so real and so wrong at the same time.
She pulled herself together; she removed the wicks of hair from her face.
B: I should indeed, and you?
C: I think I'll stay out a little while yet.
She felt his legs gave up, but she should be strong about it.
B: ok, thank you Rick.
C: Why?
B: To Dance.
He smiled and immediately lowered her eyes for fear she sees in her suffering, but if he only knew that she suffered much at this point, he no longer felt the beats of his heart he felt that tear. Now for each of them their heart beat had been replaced by a vast pain, even tears but also a empty.
She turned her back and walked to the reception, he knew he was spirited to lose her, she knew that now she will not be there even without him, because yes it was probably the last time Richard Castle and Kate Beckett saw.
Suite? Or we let the separate paths between Castle and Beckett? you tell me.
