So this was just a little story I came up with, it was meant to be up yesterday but sadly work got in the way. So not much plot to this hope you like it :)

Disclaimer: If you recognize it= Not mine!

Castle was on his way to meet Beckett in the bullpen today was the day, he was finally going to ask her out on a date. She had broken up with Josh a month before claiming that it wasn't fair to hold him back on what he had worked his whole life for. Josh had been a little heart broken and fought to keep the relationship going but she had held her ground. She had gone home that night and somehow ended up watching a movie with Castle. He had come round claiming to be needing help for his book but she could see it was something more.

So here he was at precisely nine in the morning holding his regular coffee order and bear claw, his heart beating erratically and he had no idea why. He was Richard Castle, he had asked a few women to go on a date with him many a time. The more he thought about it though the more he realized that he hadn't asked many women out more they had asked him or his publisher had set him up with a date to higher his reputation.

The elevator signalled it's arrival and Castle walked out and took a deep breath. He walked towards Beckett's desk and saw it was empty. He didn't know whether or not to be disappointed or relieved. He was relieved because it meant that he had some time to calm himself down but disappointed because he wanted an answer as soon as possible. He looked around, it seemed that Ryan and Esposito were absent too, he placed the cups onto Beckett's desk and headed for the break room. Still seeing no sign of the detectives he looked puzzled. They usually called if they had a breakthrough but they didn't have a case today.

As he was heading towards Beckett's desk again he heard the elevator go and turned to see Ryan heading towards his desk.

"Morning." He said to Castle as he looked up.

"Where's Esposito and Beckett? I'm normally the last one in."

"No clue, I've just got in, although I think I saw Beckett heading to the morgue."

Castle sat down in his seat figuring that it wouldn't be long before Beckett was back.

"So Castle been pranked yet?" Ryan asked sitting at his desk.

"No why?"

"It's April Fool's day." Ryan told him. "I would have thought with your nine year old self you would have come up with an awesome prank."

Castle stared at him, how could he forget it was April Fool's day. The one day a year he could do something outrageous and get away with it.

"I totally forgot about it." He said.

A few minutes later Esposito and Beckett were exiting the elevator walking towards their desks. As Beckett sat down Castle stared at her. She reached over and took the coffee from it's holder and took a small sip. As she was doing this she noticed the way that Castle was staring at her.

"What?" She asked when she placed the coffee on her desk and looked at him.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Sure." She said.

He looked around and noticed Ryan and Esposito watching them with interest. "Break room?"

"What's wrong with here?"

"Because I don't want Captain Obvious and his companion to listen." He said loud enough for the boys to hear him.

Ryan and Esposito looked at each other.

"I'm Captain Obvious." Ryan stated.

"Dude, you think I'm a companion? You're more of a companion than I am."

"Claimed the name first." Ryan said.

Beckett stood up and her and Castle headed into the break room.

"So what's up?" She asked as he shut the door.

"I want to ask you something." He said watching as she motioned for him to go on. "So I wanted to ask…if erm…maybe…" He ran a hand through the back of his hair. "You wanted to…go out sometime?"

"Like a date?" She asked.

"Yeah…"

"Sorry I can't."

"You don't even know when though."

"Busy."

"Doing what?"

"Why do you insist on invading my private life? I could already be seeing someone for all you know."

He was silent for a few minutes, he hadn't thought of that. After looking at the floor for a few minutes he looked at her and watched as she walked over to him and tilted her head a little before biting her lip. She reached up and lightly whispered. "April Fool's Castle."

She heard his sharp intake of breath and then he stepped back a little.

"Are you serious?"

She was still biting her lip and slowly nodded. "Pick me up at seven." She grinned.

His smile was wide as he looked at her. "I promise you won't regret this."

"I hope not."

A/N: So let me know what you thought...good? bad?
