Super incredibly, crazy short one shot that just popped into my head. I hope you enjoy :)

The soft rose petals tickle her lips as she brings it from under her nose down to her waist where she holds it as though it were made of glass. Her eyes rise to his and suddenly she is convinced that all is right in the world and that nothing and no one is hurting, being hurt, crying, suffering, dying. The single red rose he gave her exchanged her worry for hope, her fear for peace and her weariness for comfort. His mouth displays a sweet, satisfied smile as his fingers lightly brush her upper arms and she can't contain the sigh that escapes her lips as she lets her body fall into his and his arms wrap around her as he presses a kiss laced with sincerity to her head.
Her heart beat flutters as he pulls back carefully and brushes a curl behind her ear. He searches her eyes for a moment and upon seeing nothing but serenity, he presses his lips to hers as though they have not seen each other for years. Her fingers dig into the muscles in his back, rose forgotten, as his hands cascade form her shoulders to her waist.
She was sceptical at first when he asked for the key to her apartment. She had been having a rough day and his relentless nagging made her give in. She was not in the mood for his antics and made her way home just wanting to shower away her mess of a day and curl into bed. But instead she opened her door to find her apartment lit by candles. Her breath had caught in her throat as she watched their shadows flicker on her walls followed by Castle appearing holding a single red rose. He had walked toward her and held out the flower to her as he whispered, "Even on the worst day, there is the possibility for joy". Her mouth curved into a smile of its own volition as tears filled her eyes. She had breathed in deeply until all she could smell was Castle. The best scent in the world as far as she was concerned. The smell of safety, love and hope – happy memories, future plans, soft kisses, heated nights, passion, romance, all that was good in the world.
Reluctantly they broke apart from their heated lip lock and rested their foreheads together.
"Thankyou Rick" She whispered.
"Always."
Thanks for reading :D A Review would be wonderful! Just sayin' ;)
