AN: I don't own Castle...or the dress for that matter.
When I saw no one had written a fic about this I decided to. Nathan Fillion actually saw gold and white so I used that sorta. By the way I see blue and black.
Hope you enjoy this silly little fic :)
"That is definitely white and gold. Who in their right mind could possibly see blue and black?" Rick Castle yet again examined the photo of 'the dress' in his Facebook news feed.
"Blue and Black." Katherine Beckett's voice floated into the room along with some steam from her coffee. After rolling her eyes at her husband she sat down on at the kitchen table in the loft and looked at the picture of the dress on the screen. "I see no white at all Castle."
"You're just blind. Everyone sees white and gold." Castle was sticking up for his eyes no matter what.
"Everyone? Kim Kardashian, Ricky Martin and you? I think someone else has bad eyes." She laughed as she sipped the latte.
"No it is definitely white and gold!" Rick's voice was growing louder in an attempt at winning the cop over.
Kate opened her mouth slowly ready to voice her reply about something else being black and blue in a minute when a red head bounced into the room.
"Black and blue dad." Alexis glanced over to the bickering couple as she poured herself a glass of juice.
A smile formed on Kate's lips. "So Alexis you're with me?"
The young girl sat herself at the table beside the detective and nodded before bumping her fist against Beckett's. "Yeah Kate I think that someone over there must have old eyes or something." She rolled her eyes at her dad.
"Yeah I never realised how old you seemed Castle. Wait is that a stray grey hair?" Beckett laughed as his daughter nodded proudly.
"You two are up against me. Kate you're coming with me to the precinct. We need to solve this right now." Castle rose from the table and pushed his chair in before slinging his coat over his shoulder.
Kate smiled over at Alexis and mouthed a quick 'good job' before following her husband out of the loft. How exactly was he going to prove this to her? She couldn't be sure.

"Boys over here now!" Castle's voice rattled the walls of the precinct as Beckett and him entered side by side.
Javier Esposito and Kevin Ryan exchanged glances before walking slowly towards the author.
"We don't have any cases Castle and unless you want to do some paperwork I have no idea why in the world you'd be here" Ryan shrugged at the man as he ran a pair of fingers through his light brown hair.
"Yeah bro we could always get Gates to grab so some paperwork but if you don't want that spill." Esposito raised an eyebrow curiously.
"Well Beckett and I have a…"
"Just you, I have nothing to do with this guys." Beckett's voice suddenly interrupted as she groaned to herself.
Castle frowned before turning back to his wife's colleagues "Well before I was rudely cut off I was saying that I thought this dress," he removed his phone and showed the guys, "was white and gold. What do you guys think?"
Esposito smiled. "Oh yeah this has been all over my Facebook, Castle it's totally blue and black. Where the hell do these people see white anyway?"
"Well look Castle someone else agrees with me. So that's two-one right?" Beckett's arm wrapped around Esposito's shoulders as she gloated in her success.
The author grimaces, "What about you Ryan? Are you with me?"
The other man shuffled about awkwardly as he looked from Beckett to Castle. "Hey guys I really don't want to get in the middle of this…"
"TELL US!" The couple cried in unison as they both eyed off the detective.
Loosening his collar the man looked directly at Castle. "Well Jenny and I saw this on the news this morning and we both think that it was black and blue." He wasn't looking Castle in the eyes anymore.
"Four-one!" Beckett fist pumped before hi-fiving Esposito. "See Castle you must really have old eyes."

"Javi are you coming? I thought we had some tickets for the cinema and you didn't show up at my apartment so I presumed you must have forgotten." Lanie Parish, the ME, entered the room and walked toward the four people.
"Look Castle we even have Taylor Swift with us. A hot blonde." Javier smiled at Castle smugly.
As Lanie approached she noticed that they seemed to be divided. Beckett and the boys were on one side with Castle on the other. "What are you guys on about now?" Her eyes couldn't help up roll as she got closer.
"What colour is this dress?" Four voices and four phones were all thrust towards the ME. She backed off slightly before peering closer at one of the screens.
"Blue and black guys, I've seen this before and I've heard that it breaks up relationships." Lanie groaned remembering the amount of time she had spent examining that dress on her Facebook feed just the day before.
"Come over Lanie, you're with us." Esposito beckoned the dress-clad woman closer.
"Seriously Javi the movie's about to start." She wasn't going to be part of this foolishness.
"Yeah Lanie I'm coming." After pulling his coat on he backed toward Lanie.
"WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING STANDING AROUND?" Victoria Gates' voice boomed and shook each of the five people. She walked icily as she stared forward with only one emotion on her face, anger.
"Sorry sir we were just discussing the paper work." Katherine Beckett let the lie roll off of her lips as she looked toward her Captain.
"Alright I suppose." Gates turned to leave but her eyes caught the picture of the dress on a phone screen. The five people braced themselves for a speech on work technology use but were surprised when Gates opened her mouth. "Oh the dress, I saw this on the news this morning. It's definitely white and gold, where is the blue and black?" She spoke quickly before walking away.
Shocked that she didn't explode in a fit of rage the team glanced around. "Wow so Gates sees white and gold huh? Look Castle someone else has the same eyesight as you." Esposito's words come off mockingly.
"Yeah Castle I think it really is an age thing. I never notice how old you looked until today." As she turned her head a smile filled Kate's lips. Gates and Castle she couldn't believe it. The dress thing had been pathetic the whole time but this just topped it.
With a wave to the others Beckett and Castle entered the lift. As the doors closed Castle looked over at his wife. "You know it really looks blue and black now."
"Sure Castle, sure."
