Note: Guys, me again ;). This story just came to my mind and I had to write it down immediately. I hope you like it. It's definitely without any Angst this time. Just a fun little thing without any drama. I think the two of them need that from time to time ;) Enjoy, let me know what you think. Go on? Yes? No? J. C
She groaned immediately as the tantalizing sound of the alarm clock at her bedside pulled her out of a wonderful sleep, if not one of the best in a long time.
Still covered in those wonderful warm sheets and his shirt, she stretched her legs, pulled the messy chestnut curls out of her face and smiled groggily, her hand wandering, searching…for…cold?
Carefully she opened her eyes, supporting herself on her elbows to find herself alone in bed.
And then she made eye contact with the alarm clock…her face froze.
Lazily he leaned against the kitchen counter, checking the heavy watch on his wrist, giggling like a kid. Oh, so much fun, if only he wouldn't have to worry about his life in exactly 60 seconds. For a moment his giggles stuck in his throat when he came to terms with…
"CASTLE!" Kate stormed out of the bedroom like a tornado, the alarm clock in her hands.
"Goodmorning Sweetheart. Breakfast will be ready in a minute", he smiled at her, his blue eyes sparkling.
"It's 5! 5 am!"
"And have I told how incredibly sexy you look right now?" He wiggled his eyebrows at her, just only without the effect he was hoping for.
"Seriously Castle what is wrong with you?"
"Kate, Honey, today is the big day. The Match. The Police event of the year! We cannot be prepared enough! We need to be ready!"
"Don't you 'Honey' me and…god Castle, I could have slept for another 4 hours and I repeat…4 hours!", She sighed and took a seat in front of the counter.
"You are just lucky I'm too tired to kick you!", she added, covering her face with her hands.
"And I appreciate it. But let me make it up to you!", he grinned, kissing her on the forehead.
"You couldn't possibly believe to get that lucky right now, do you?"
"Katherine Beckett, you and your dirty…no, actually I was not talking about offering you my irresistible body, yet, but this…", he hurried back into the bed room, standing next to her a few moments later with a huge bag in his hands.
"What is it?", she asked defeated, a little bugged.
"This, my beautiful, sexy, charming, intelligent…"
"Castle…"
"Right. Are you ready for…"
"I didn't even have coffee yet, so no, but please go ahead."
"The ultimate, the most angst-inducing uniform of two warriors on a mission to kick the 14th precincts asses in this years annual New York Police 'Beat the woods' derby. Close your eyes!", he excitedly demanded.
"What was I thinking when I said yes to you…", she sighed covering her eyes.
"We will talk about that later, my Love, but now…Voila!"
When Kate took in what was in front of her, she didn't know if she should cry or laugh. A huge smile covered his face as he held up to navy blue tracksuits.
"You are kidding me right? Please tell me you are kidding me!", she exhaled.
"I know right? They are awesome!"
"Hot and…Spicy? Really, Castle?"
"Of course yours is the one that reads 'hot'."
"You know, everytime I think it couldn't get worse it does."
"Come on Kate!"
"Read my lips: No!"
"For me?", he smiled handing her the tracksuit.
