A/N Hey there! This is my first story for now a one shot. Maybe if enough people would like, it can grow a plot. :) Read and review please.
Disclaimer: I do not own any Castle, well besides the DVDs.
They hadn't seen each other in exactly 14 days. He'd been out of town for a book tour, and he was coming home tonight. Kate had gone to work early to make sure she got her paperwork done by 5pm so she would be ready to pick him up from the airport at 7. Kate looked at the watch, 4:45 she thought, only 15 more minutes without a body drop and I'm free to go. She took the next day off, a surprise for Castle. She wasn't ready to admit it to him yet, but she really missed him. While he was gone she felt this gap in her heart, one that only he could fill. She thought spending an extra day with him would be nice for both of them to just be together.
Lost in her own thoughts she didn't notice the time creep past 5. Realizing the time passing she turns off her computer, grabs her coat, and makes her way to the elevator. Once in her apartment she sheds her clothes on the way to the shower to wash off the grime and loneliness of the last 2 weeks. Letting the warmth of the water comfort her, she stands under the stream, her thoughts taking her back to the morning Castle left. Not wanting to part quite yet they shared a shower, not in a sexual way, just needed to be with each other for those extra few minutes. While he was getting ready to leave, they shared their morning dance that they had grown used to over the last few months. As they made their way to the door, pausing, he put his bag down and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close.
Leaning in he said, "I'm going to miss you."
"Yeah, me too" smiling as she brought their lips together in a soft, tender, kiss filled with love. Ending the kiss she rested her forehead against his, just breathing him in. Although she hadn't said those three words to him, she knew they were true in her heart and hoped he could read her as well as she thought he could. She would tell him, she just had to find the right time.
With a smile and one last kiss he reluctantly picked up his bag and made his way towards the elevator.
It's now 6:30, she was dressed and ready to go pick him up. She was so ready to see those blue eyes again. Yes, while he was gone they had talked on the phone, but hearing his voice was nothing compared to his touch, the way he looked at her with such love, she could get lost in his gaze for hours. Grabbing her coat and purse she leave her apartment, knowing she wouldn't be back tonight.
At the airport she tried to keep herself calm at baggage claim, his plane had arrived on time, any minute now she would be in his arms again. Looking through the crowds for him, when she finally found him she took in his appearance. Even just getting off a cross country flight he looked fantastic, wearing a blue button down that brought out his eyes and jeans that hugged his legs in just the right way. His face looked focus, his eyes more tired than usual.
"Castle!"
He looked up and the second he saw her his face changed, his eyes lit up and a smile threaten to break his face in two. He made his way towards her at a faster pace than he was walking before. As soon as he reached her, he pulled her close hugging her tight, his face against her neck, breathing in his Kate. He pulled away just enough to look at her face she put her hands on his face her eyes saying everything her mouth couldn't. He leans into her touch, he can't wait anymore, he brings their lips together. Everything in that moment feels right again, that gap in her heart once again filled by his presence. Not wanting to part, but not wanting to draw attention to themselves they part and settle for holding hands. He can't stop looking at her, she seems even more beautiful than he remembers.
Once he gets his bag they make their way to the exit and hail a cab, giving the driver the loft's address.
"Can you stay?" he asks as his fingers trace patterns on her hand.
"Always."
