So hey, guys! This is my first fanfiction and it's just a short, random idea that popped into my head a few days ago. I hope you like it! Leave me reviews, please!
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, that all goes to Andrew W. Marlowe. I just came up with the story ideas.(:
Richard Castle awoke, squinting as the sun streamed through the curtains into his eyes. He turned his head and smiled at his wife, Kate Beckett, sleeping peacefully next to him. Watching her sleep, he wondered how he could possibly be so lucky to have someone as perfect and beautiful as her.
Realizing that it was already ten o'clock, he decided to get up and make her breakfast. It was her day off, and what she didn't know was that he was planning a day of relaxation for the two of them. With Rick's daughter, Alexis, in college and his mother, Martha, out at her acting studio all day, they had the whole day to themselves at their loft.
He sleepily made his way into the kitchen, deciding to make blueberry pancakes for the two of them, Kate's favorite. Pancakes, of course, were a way of saying "thanks for last night," but it wasn't about that this morning. He just wanted to show Kate how much he cared and loved her. As he took the last batch of flapjacks off of the griddle, he decided to go wake Kate up.
Making his way into the bedroom, he decided just how he was going to wake her up. He climbed in to his side of the bed, and inched closer to her until he was practically on top of her. He leaned down and kissed her forehead softly. Then he placed a kiss on each eye and her nose, and then he softly met his lips with hers. She didn't wake up until the kiss on the lips, and once she realized what was happening, she sleepily kissed him back and ran her hands through his hair. "Good morning, sunshine," Castle whispered softly. "Hi," Kate replied groggily.
After Kate got out of bed, she stumbled into the kitchen with Rick and stopped short when she smelled pancakes. "Mmmmm," Kate moaned, closing her eyes and inhaling the aroma. "I made your favorite!" Rick exclaimed, kissing her gently. She smiled and walked over to the table and sat down in front of a plate of four huge pancakes. "Are you trying to fatten me up, Rick?" Kate asked playfully. "Of course not, I just know how hungry my favorite detective can be in the morning," Castle replied while pouring them glasses of milk.
He sat down across from her and they devoured the pancakes without any conversation. When they had finished, they both slumped down in their chairs and let out a sigh. "Those were sooooo good," Kate said, smiling. "One point for Rick," Castle replied, smirking. Kate let out a laugh at his comment. "You're such a child."
"So, do we have plans for today?" Kate asked about ten minutes later. "Don't we always have a plan on your days off, Kate?" Rick said matter-of-factly.
"How am I supposed to know?"
"Touché. We're actually going to stay in and relax today. Watch movies, eat popcorn, all that jazz. Sound good?" Castle said, smiling at his wife.
"That sounds perfect, actually. Although, I don't know how much popcorn I can eat after that big breakfast!" Kate responded. "Ugh, I know. Maybe we'll hold off on the popcorn for awhile."
After letting out a long sigh, Kate stood up and walked over to Castle. "I'm going to go take a shower, okay?" she said. "Do you want company?" Castle asked, letting a small smirk play across his face. Kate moved over so she could sit on top of him, straddling him. "Always," she replied, smiling and leaning in for a kiss. She meant for the kiss to be a small peck, but it turned into much, much more. Kate cradled Castle's face and she slowly slipped her tongue into his parted mouth. Their tongues did a dance while he focused on softly sucking on her bottom lip. He got his hands tangled in her hair and she moaned into his mouth. Once they finally pulled away for air, they sat there, looking into each other's eyes.
"I love you, Kate."
"I love you too, Rick. Ready for that shower?" She asked.
He smiled and nodded, and she stood up from her straddle and took his hand as they made their way to their bathroom.
I'll update the next chapter soon!
