Sorry I haven't updated in a while, its been a tough week for school! :O sucks much. Anyways, here tis! Btw I don't own Castle. And this ones gonna be a two-shot! Yay! Ay? :P

Btw….Josh is gone in this widdle fic. :D yaay!

It was an average day at the 12th; no murders, just paperwork. Castle seemed to stop wanting a murder to take place; he was quite content just to watch her fill out forms. He loved watching out for the little crinkle that appeared on her forehead whenever she signed her name, and the natural way she took her lip under her teeth with one swift movement when she had a hard time recollecting on what had occurred in her report. Even though these small things were a regular occurrence, Castle still felt the subtle change.

Something had been 'off' all day. She seemed to be acting out of the ordinary; he couldn't quite place his finger on what I was.

"Castle." He snapped out of his daydream, looking across at her beautiful features, "could you please make me a coffee?"

He quickly nodded his head and made his way to stand up, when he realized something. 'She said please.' He stood there in utter amazement, mouth open and eyes wide. 'she NEVER says please.'

'Castle?' Beckett questioned the look on his face. "What is it?"

He shifted his head to look at her on the side. "You never say please. You just demand the coffee."

She looked down at her papers, her long fingers fiddling with her pen. "Maybe I'm just feeling friendly today." Castle was satisfied enough with her answer and was about to turn around when he saw a blush slowly creep its way onto her face as she looked up at him once again. 'Blush? Beckett DOES NOT blush….'

He tilted his head to one side and looked at her quizzically. "Huh." He mumbled softly. Deciding to address it later, he turned on his heel, making his way towards the break-room to make her coffee.

The beautiful aroma of coffee wafted around the break-room as Castle walked back into the main room, Beckett's coffee in hand. Making his way over o her desk he spoke. "Here is your coffee ma'am." He extended his arm out offering the coffee to her. She looked up at him, making eye contact and whispered, "Thanks, Rick." She grasped the coffee with her hand, never breaking eye contact. She let her fingers softly touch his for a second too long, earning a surprised look from Castle as he shivered at her touch.

She took her coffee and placed it next to her computer, finally looking away, back down at her paperwork.

Castle slid into his own seat next to her, staring at her. Beckett could feel his ice-blue eyes boring holes into her head as he gazed upon her. She felt she didn't mind it so much anymore. Not after she broke up with Josh.

She looked up at him with her best 'you're getting on my nerves' look. Castle slowly got the hint and took out his phone to play one of the many games he had installed. He began to tap it with his finger, obviously playing a game, and by the sounds his Iphone emitted it was 'Angry Birds'. "That's better." Beckett leaned over her desk in a sultry manner as Castle looked up. She moved forward until their faces were merely centimetres apart. She rested her hand on Castle's thigh to support herself as she leaned. She then saw Castle's 'adam's apple' bob up and down as he audible gulped. "Just make sure you keep it on silent." And with that, she pressed the 'silent' button on the side of his phone, winked, leant back into her chair, and 'buried her nose' in her work once again.

Castle was shocked. Beckett never winks. Beckett NEVER winks! The image of one of her eyes batting at him seemed to replay over and over in his mind as he slumped down into his soft, brown chair and proceeded to stare at his feet. 'Why is she doing this? Does she know what she's doing to me?' He pondered. Looking back up at her he was met with her bright, hazel eyes looking right back at him. Beckett was staring at him. She was staring at him AND biting her lip. She was staring at him, biting her lip and smiling.

Beckett slowly lowered her head back down to get stuck into her paperwork. Castle was no longer shocked at her display; he was completely in awe. 'What is she doing?' And then it clicked.

'Is Beckett flirting with me?' Castle knew she had broken up with Josh a few weeks ago… but how could she be flirting with him of ALL people?

As Castle was deep in thought he didn't notice Kate get up and gather her jacket. "Alright Castle," she softly spoke. "I'm gonna go home. It's been a long day." She looked at him as if seeing the depths of his soul as he stood up and grabbed his own jacket.

"Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow." Beckett said resignedly as she slowly turned around to walk towards the elevators. Halfway there she heard a voice behind her. "Wait! Kate!" She turned around as she heard slow jogging echo throughout the hall. Castle came up to her.

" I…umm…I…"Castle fiddled with the ends of his jacket as he stuttered. Beckett could see plain-as-day that he was nervous for one reason or another. He took a sudden deep breath and gazed into her eyes. "I was thinkin'…..do you wanna go to dinner with me tomorrow night?" he looked hopefully at her. "You know, just somewhere casual, maybe…"

Beckett couldn't hide her beaming smile. "Sure Rick, pick me up at seven." She ordered. Then she turned on her heel and walked towards the elevators once again, leaving a stunned Castle behind her.

I SHALL CONTINUE! :D :D sooner or later, with the date that follows this. ;D
