So I sort of threatened to do something like this the other night while talking with Hallow777. It got a little longer than I intended, but hey. There's Caskett fluff, and a mention of a little Lanie and Esposito action. This is my first Castle fic. I hope it doesn't suck too hard.
Disclaimer: ABC owns Beckett and Castle and Lanie and Esposito. Fred Durst owns the song. :)
Enjoy, maybe?
Kate let herself into the loft as quietly as anyone could in stilettos. It was after midnight, and she didn't want to wake anyone up. She toed her shoes off and picked them up as she started tip-toeing toward the stairs. She froze at the bottom of the stairs. She could hear the repetitive thumping coming from Castle's office. She quietly placed her shoes on the stairs and slipped across the hardwood toward the door. As she drew closer to the door she realized the thumping was a song. A song that Castle had turned up far too loud for his own good. She edged to the door and placed her ear against it.
She could barely hear anything over the song, but what she could hear was furious typing. She slowly turned the handle on the door and opened it a fraction of an inch. He was sitting on the couch by the door, and his head was bobbing along with the racket coming from the speakers in his office. She rolled her eyes and let them travel from the top of Castle's head to the screen on his laptop. She scanned a few lines and saw the names Nikki and Rook. "He's writing," she thought to herself, "Good, I don't want to have to call Gina."
"I did it all for the nookie, come on the nookie, come on, so you can take that cookie and..." Castle abruptly stopped singing, and started typing again. It took all her willpower to not start laughing then and there. She glanced back down at the screen.
Rook ran towards Nikki. Castle highlighted and deleted the sentence. Rook hurtled toward Nikki. He only had seconds. As the shot rang out he dove – Castle again deleted the sentences. He sighed and listened to the song again. Kate saw his eyes get wide in the reflection of the screen, she thought she was busted. Castle quickly opened up a new document and began typing, even more furiously than he had been before.
Title: Dark Heat
Rating: M
Kate wrinkled her nose. She already didn't like where this was going.
Summary: Things get hot when the blackout hits New York.
Pairings: NOOKI!
Disclaimer: I don't own Jameson Rook or Nikki Heat. I wish I did though, wouldn't that be awesome?
Kate's face immediately shifted to confused. "Doesn't own them? Of course he owns them..." She glanced back down to the screen, where paragraph after paragraph flowed flowed from his fingertips. She read along as the document grew and grew. He saved it, and then opened his internet browser. Navigating to his favorite fansite he quickly accessed the boards and logged in. In a matter of seconds he was uploading the document to the site under the username "DidIt4TheNooki." Kate quickly lifted her eyes to the top of the screen.
This time she couldn't keep the laugh back. It broke out and before she knew it Castle had whipped the door open on her and she practically fell in. "I could smell you," he looked at her as she tried to get her laughing under control, "You've been watching me for the last thirty minutes." He backed her up against the door and placed an arm on either side of her.
Finally able to breathe again, she batted her eyes at him, "Why whatever do you mean Mr. Castle?"
"Cherries."
"Yeah? Well, I just caught you writing fan fiction for your own characters. Not only that, it was smut," she crossed her arms and put on her best cop face.
"So?"
"Why in the world would you want to write smut with Nikki and Rook?"
"Maybe I was bored."
"If you were bored and you knew I was watching, why did you keep writing?"
He inched closer until he was a breath away from her.
She held her ground.
He broke, "Uuuuuuuuuugh, because I didn't know you were there. I came down here to wait for you to get home. I got bored so I decided to write. That wasn't working. SoIGotOnAFansite," he spit the last part out.
She smirked at him and tilted her head to the side, "What was that?"
"I. Got. On. A. Fansite."
"Yes, after you wrote your little story."
"No, before. Too. I... Did you know that those people have made up their own name for Nikki and Rook? Like TomKat and Brangelina."
"Is that so?"
"Yeah. Nooki."
She was giggling, she would deny it in the morning, but for now she was giggling, "So you got the idea to join their ranks and write that then?"
"Huh? What? No. I Googled the word, to see how real it was. It thought I meant nookie. I found that song. Then I got the idea to write."
"Mmm," Kate put her hands on Castle's chest and pushed him backwards, "I'm tired writer-boy. Are you going to keep making up fantasies or are you going to come live one out?" She asked over her shoulder as she headed back towards her shoes and the stairs.
"Let me save my file!" Castle went back to his laptop and saved the actual book chapter he had tried to work on. He raced across the floor and caught her at the bottom of the stairs. He wrapped his arms around her middle and stopped her from going up.
"No, the last time you made a big mess..."
"I don't want kitchen sex," he finished her thought. "I was just wondering why you were so late getting home."
She turned in his arms and linked hers behind his neck, "I went to see Lanie."
"How's she doing?"
"Miserable."
"Fair enough. She is like twelve-months pregnant now right? Poor Esposito. That'll teach him to use birth control."
Kate thumped his shoulder, "Be nice. You'll be dealing with that one day."
"Yeah?" His eyes lit up.
"Yes, and I don't forget things."
"One day soon?" He tugged her closer.
"Castle, I'm not pregnant."
"Oh," he leaned forward and rested his forehead on hers, "you sure?"
"I'm sure, but you are more than welcome to take me upstairs to rectify this," she smiled at him, the one she saved just for him.
His eyes darkened and he got very serious he leaned in and whispered something in her ear.
She eyed him, "Yes."
"Whoop!" Castle picked his wife up and carried her upstairs.
