Disclaimer: I don't own the character or the series.

It's my first offical english fanfic. The whole thing popped out from my head yesterday night.

(I rechecked the story a few times, there may be errors in my english, it's not my native language.)

Castle's request

It's started as a usual day for Beckett (except that she was more weary than ever).

Sipped the coffe tired when a familiar voice greeted her.

Good morning Beckett. -Castle greeted while sitting down.

Mornin'. -she mumbled, scrathing the back of her head.

As a writer -he began- as you know that too, I do my best to write accurate scenes. And it came to that I need your help with that.

My help? -she asked- Exactly how?

Well I'm certain that you don't gonna like the idea-

Get to the point Castle. -she cut him off.

Okay... -he took a deep breath- I want you to shoot me.

That hit the detective, with mouth agape the tiredness was gone.

What!

You heard me -he said so calmly- I want you to shoot me.

Beckett facepalmed.

Damn you Castle, you're better than a nice cup of black coffee. -she thought.

Castle -she blurted out- now seriously. Accidentally didn't you hit your head in the morning? -Came the question.

Even if he's a writer this is going too far.

No.-came the obvious answer. He didn't hit his head. He's perfectly fine. He just a mystery novelist. A certain mystery novelist.

Mere seconds later Esposito arrived holding a dossier.

We've got a case. -he cleared his throat- Did I interrupted something?

No!

Yes.

The two shared a look.

++++Later that day, back at the NYPD.

May I ask you a small favour Esposito?

That depends on what would that be, Castle.

The latter chuckled- I want you to shoot me- It's for my book. -he quickly added.

You're crazy! -he said and left the him there.

Castle just stood there dumdfounded.

Well that's it! I hope you liked it!
