Hello Castle fans! Here is my new fanfic. Lanie/Esposito. Because, because...I ship them too much and I need to write about them when Marlowe decided to forget the esplanie shippers. This is a post "Always" story, in maybe 4 or 5 chapters, I'm not sure yet but it won't be too long.

Pairing : Esplanie, Lanie/Gates, Lanie/Ryan

Enjoy...and English again, isn't my first language. So I really do my best but please forgive my faults, thank you!

FOR YOU

To you I would give the world
To you I'd never be cold
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you
And I love you I love you I love you
Like never before.

The first thing Javier Esposito noticed when he opened his – still sleepy- eyes, was the color of the sheets he was lying on. Pastel Purple…. definitely not his bed. And this smell, all over the pillow….her smell. Lanie Parish's smell was all over the bed, and he actually loved being there even more for that.

Javier yawned and opened his eyes a bit more, trying to remember why he was in her bed, and basically, at her place.

Eventually, he remembered. It wasn't too hard to remember, though. She had been there to listen to him, when he needed her. She always was there.

After he had been suspended, fought with Ryan and angrily left the precinct, Lanie was the first and only person in his mind….Because of course, he was still madly in love with her, but even more because she was a wonderful listener, and because he needed to tell her everything that happened. Everything including Kate, Kevin, Gates…just everything.

So he'd made it to her flat in no time, and luckily, she was there, just back from the morgue. She couldn't argue when she saw him, and they just talked all night. Well. Obviously, they hadn't only talked if he was still in her bed when it was almost 8 in the morning, now. But Javi didn't come to see her for that, at first…For once, since their break up, it wasn't about sex. It was about a man, who had a bad, bad day, and decided to visit the girl who meant the most to him, because he needed her support. And Lanie supported him in the best way that was possible. She listened, but also comforted him and helped him feeling better. Because she was amazing. And that night, she really reminded him of why he loved her that much.

But that morning, she wasn't in her bed anymore, though. And the moment Javier started wondering where she could be, the beautiful doctor made an appearance in the bedroom. She was all dressed in a classy brown suit jacket and skirt, all ready for work. She looked classy and gorgeous with her long dark hair dancing on her shoulders, but Javier never understood why she had to be dressed in such a gorgeous way, when at work, she would just remove her clothes for her doctor scrubs.

When she entered the room, she eyed her bed and couldn't ignore the handsome and naked detective on it.

"Hey" she said first in a smile, opening one of her closet to search for something at the bottom of the closet. Probably shoes.

"Hey back." He answered, grateful to finally see her. "You okay?"

"Yeah…I'm just... almost late for work…" she answered, grabbing a classical pair of shoes. Then she put them on in no time.

"Got an unexpected call from Perlmutter, and…"

"And you don't have enough time to give me a kiss…" he didn't let her finish. Lanie couldn't help but smile when she turned to face the bed and him. He looked absolutely cute and the domestic picture he made really made her heart melt. But she didn't answer anything, and kept looking at him tenderly.

"Come here, Chica." He just whispered, with a little hand wave.

She sighed, but just walked until the bed and sat on its corner. He just grabbed her hand, and smiled at her.

He started looking at her hand in his, almost nervous.

"Lanie, I really want to thank you for last night. It was…."

"You don't need to thank me for anything. I wanted it, too." she smiled at him and he looked up at her.

"But I really hope you know in the first place I didn't come for that…. I just needed…"

"I know." She cut him, once again. "Javi, I had a great time. And I hope you feel a bit better, today."

He squeezed her hand.

"I do. Because of you."

She smiled again, and as he was still lying down on the bed, he straightened so he could finally kiss her on the lips. The kiss was soft, almost like a brushing. She let him kissed her, but didn't respond.

« So. Anything planed today ? » she asked when he let her mouth go.

He sighed.

"Well. I have an awesome place to be, but…Oh, yeah, just remembered. My boss doesn't want me there anymore."

Lanie rolled her eyes.

"And what did you expect after your acting?" she retorted, with sassiness.

Javier shook his head.

"Okay please, not this talk again…"

"You're right, I don't have time for that anyway."

She let go of his hand and once she was on her feet, she turned to face him again.

"You know…you can stay here all day, if you want."

He arched one eyebrow and smiled, happily surprised she offered him to stay. When she realized how he was looking at her, she felt the need to justify herself.

"Look. I know you're tired and you didn't want to go back to your place, after what happened yesterday…I mean, you can stay here all the time you need."

He gently smiled at her. She was too good for to him.

"Aaah…You know what, I might seriously consider your offer, guappa…"

"I'm sure you might…" she joked, and he grinned.

"What…Your bed is so comfortable…besides your smell is everywhere on it…makes it addictive. "

He has such a cute, playful smile, and Lanie couldn't help but laughed, shaking her head.

"Boy…I'll try to come back for lunch, okay?"

"Okay."

" I 'll call you."

"Good. I won't go anywhere anyway."

She gave him what he thought was one of her cutest smile, and then she was gone. When she finally left the apartment, Javier sighed and grabbed one of her pillows, keeping it against his chest. Even if he loved staying in her bed...he couldn't deny it. He would miss the precinct that day.
