A/N: Hiya! This was annoying me so I decided to write it down. For anyone who read Sick Day, don't worry, I haven't abandoned you, this was just nagging so Sick Day was on the back burner for a little while.
This will be finished by tomorrow, seeing as it's Valentine's here in Australia already, I figured I should probably post it, and seeing as I FINALLY have a week off work *does a little happy dance* I can spend it with my love... Fanfiction and you guys!
Hope you enjoy the fluffy-ness that is Caskett.

Thursday, February 10th 2011.
Beckett was leaning against her desk pretending to look at the murder board. She bit at her thumbnail, a sure sign give away for her being nervous.
She heard – no, felt – Castle's presence beside her on the desk. The only person in the precinct that knew her tells was sitting right next to her; and he was thinking silently to himself way too loudly.
'What's up, Beckett?'
She shook her head; there was no way she was telling him what she was thinking and planning; it was a surprise for him.
For four years the man had been chasing her, so now it was her turn to chase him.
Beckett knew that he'd fold as soon as she told him she was ready. That wasn't a problem at all. She wanted to him give in. Scratch that, she needed him to give in.
So here she was, acting all distant and unattainable when she was really trying so hard not to reach out and touch him; possibly taking him into the break room for a make-out session or more... Was she really getting hot and bothered by thinking about him?
Kate had more willpower than that. Her brain did anyway, her body... that was a different story. It wanted nothing more than to take him, here and now. But no, brain will trump body - for now. Kate could wait a few more days. Hell, she had been waiting four years for him too, even if she didn't' like to admit it.
'Kate?' Castle called, bringing her out of her little daydream. Crap. He had been talking to her, and she hadn't been paying attention to his words – not her usual M.O.; she was usually hanging on them, regardless of what she told him.
Feeling the heat rise in her face, she fought desperately to suppress it; force it back down her neck under the shirt covering her chest. Out of sight, but not out of mind.
Turning to face him, she took note of his concern. Eyes crinkled, forehead furrowed, the straight line of his very kissable lips...
Keep it together, Kate.
Kate shook her head. 'I'm fine, Castle.'
'Then why are you still looking at the murder board? We finished this over two hours ago.'
Had it really been two hours she had been sitting here thinking about him?
'I thought you said you were going to box it, but you've been sitting here, staring at it and doing nothing. Add Angry Birds to the equation and you're me!' Castle nudged her shoulder with his, sending electricity down her arm. Her breath hitched. The shock on his face told her he felt it too.
Damn him sometimes. Being cute and trying to make her laugh, and then he has to make the sparks fly again. Is he trying to kill her?
Answer? Probably. She deserved it after everything. How she teased him constantly with sexual innuendos - she stilled as she thought - how she pushed him away, forgot three little words as her heart refused to beat...
'You sure you're ok, Kate?'
She bit her lip for a second; he loved her. He wasn't going to leave her. And she would tell him soon enough. That thought made her calm.
Kate focused again and then put a real smile on her face. 'Absolutely fine, Castle.'
He frowned at her; he couldn't tell what she was thinking. That was something Beckett found the most amusing. When she was thinking about Castle, he could never tell, even though she thought it was the most obvious look she could give him.
Maybe he had inklings and pushed them away, because she pushed him away. That thought made her heart sink down into her little abyss again.
No, not after Tuesday.
All those thoughts would be out of his head, and she would tell him. She only had to wait a few more days, and with all the favours she called in, it had better be worth it.
Kate looked into his blue eyes and saw the love he had for her there. He smiled at her, a little confused. 'Let's call it a day, Castle.'
'Oooh, an early mark. Shall we get some Chinese food?'
Rick was definitely worth it.
A/N: So I need your help, guys. I don't know if I should do it in all perspectives or just Kate's. I'm feel like I'm really good at getting her and I'm not too sure about everyone else. So your input would be greatly appreciated.
Reviews make my phone buzz and gives me a happy :)
