Well I got bored and had writers block for the other fanfics I have on the go and this is the result.
Enjoy :)
Disclaimer: Don't own Castle which is a complete bummer
Beckett hated Valentine's Day, she always had. She didn't see the point in it. She was it as just another day that big corporations used to make loads of money. Beckett sighed and turned her attention back to her paper work.
A few hours later, Beckett was bored. It was a paper work day which meant that Castle wasn't going to be in, and as much as he annoyed her and got on her nerves, she liked having him around, he made her laugh.
She threw down her pen and leant back in her chair. She sat looking at the ceiling for a while but looked up when she heard the lift ping. A uniform stepped out, followed by a delivery man, carrying the biggest bunch of flowers she had ever seen. She watched as the uniform pointed in her direction and watched, with a sinking feeling, as the delivery man walked towards her.
"Detective Beckett?"
"That's me."
He put the flowers on her desk then turned and walked back to the lift.
After he had got in and gone Beckett turned to the flowery monstrosity that was now sitting on her desk. Behind her she heard Esposito say, "Bloody hell Beckett, someone sure loves you."
She turned around and saw the smirking faces of Esposito and Ryan, leaning against a desk, watching her. "Who're they from?" Ryan asked, him and Esposito smirking, already knowing or at least suspecting that they were from one writer.
Beckett turned back to the flowers, ignoring the question. She picked up the card that the delivery man had left on her desk. She opened it and read the words, Guess who. In a voice only she could hear, "I'm going to kill him," before she continued reading, Since you're a Detective I'm going to guess that you know who this is from, she paused again and shook her head, she really was going to kill him when she saw him next, And since you know this is from me, I'm going to invite you over to Casa de Castle tonight and I'm cooking.
Beckett stood up and walked away from her desk, grabbing her mobile as she went. Aware that Esposito's and Ryan's eyes were following her she went into the conference room and closed the door behind her. Pressing the speed dial on her phone she called the number and waited for him to pick up.
"Castle," he answered.
"I'm going to kill you."
"Ah Beckett, I take it the death threat means you got my flowers."
"My desk looks like a bloody garden. Why the hell did you send me flowers? And why the hell did you send then to the fucking precinct?" Beckett yelled at him over the phone.
"Um Beckett, I'm guessing you're still at work so you might want to keep the volume down a little," Castle paused and when Beckett didn't say anything he continued, "I sent you the flowers because it's Valentine's Day and I sent them to the precinct because I knew you wouldn't be at home."
Beckett looked out of the window, towards her desk and saw that Gates was looking out of her office window and at the flowers that were catching every body's eye as they walked through the bull pen. "Thanks Castle," she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm, "I'm never going to hear the end of this."
Over the phone she heard Rick chuckle. "I'll see you tonight Detective, since you'll be coming round, though whether to eat or kill me I don't quite know."
Beckett sighed, then in a resigned tone said, "Yes Castle, I'll come round, but bear in mind I can make your body disappear."
Her tone was serious and over the phone she heard Castle gulp, before saying, "Okay Beckett, I'll be seeing you later."
Beckett hung up then composed herself for the mocking that she knew was going to start as soon as she walked out of the door. Taking a deep breathe she walked out of the conference room and went back to the paper work on her desk, moving the flowers so she actually had space to work. Looking around quickly she could tell by the looks on the faces of the rest of the detectives in the bull pen that this was going to be a long day.
Not sure I'll carry this on or not, I like where it's ended but I think I should add a chapter about the meal, but I'm not sure. Any opinion that isn't my own is welcome.
