"Scrambling"
Characters: Rick Castle, Kate Beckett
Spoilers: I guess you can say "Always", but it could also stand away from it.
Prompt: Pancakes
Rick Castle bounces around the kitchen, throwing ingredients here and bring plates there. Coffee is brewing, bacon is sizzling, eggs are scrambling. His deep concentration in his cooking lets her sneak up on him.
"I see you're following Esposito's edible way of saying, 'Thank you so much for last night'?"
He turns around quickly, a bit of egg flying off the spatula and onto the counter. Ignoring the food, Castle makes his way over to Kate. "Good morning." He places a soft kiss on her lips.
"Good morning to you too, writer boy, but I think the pancakes are burning," she whispers back.
"Oh!" he all but yelps, scrambling back to flip the pancakes and turn off the stove as they both laugh.
