Summary: Series of one shots of smutty and slightly fluffy Castle and Beckett...
Sometimes even child at heart, Richard Castle, could hate the freezing, zero degree, negative 30 degree wind-chill, New York winters. Grabbing both his and Beckett's coffees he practically ran out the door and the rest of the way to the 12th. Upon arriving after getting stuck in crowds of people on the sidewalk, that had apparently decided that today, of all days, would make a great morning for window shopping, he could barley feel his face, hands, or feet.
"Castle, bro, you look like you spent the night standing outside...man you ok?" Espositio asked after realizing that Castle still hadn't moved very far and looked like he was about to have a panic attack. Ryan swung around, grabbing both coffees from Castle and sitting them down called over to Beckett to get her attention.
"Oh My God, Castle, hey are you ok? Castle?" She repeated after receiving no answer. "Ok Ryan, Espo help me get him into the break room, then someone call Lanie.
Managing to get Castle on the couch and out of his cold coat and a warm blanket wrapped around him, Ryan and Esposito went to retrieve their favorite ME while Beckett sat down next to Castle and grabbed his cold hands holding them in hers, warming them up.
"Hey yea I'm ok." Castle responded after a while. "Just sometimes still get caught up in-, when I get so cold I can't even feel my face I can't help it." he stammered. "Sometimes I just go back there you know? And I can't get out."
"Yea hey, Castle I know, I know. But it's getting better right?"
"Yea it is, rarely happens anymore, not like right after the incident. It's just days like this that sometimes still get me, guess I may have a little bit of PTSD from it after all. But seriously, I'm fine, just still a little cold. You know you could help warm me up, right detective?"
"Only you, Richard Castle, could turn something potentially serious into a pick-up line." Lanie Parrish commented from the door of the break-room.
"Well you could always help," he added with a wag of his eyebrows as both women lightheartedly hit him.
"Just let me look over you and make sure your physically ok and then I'll leave you two alone, although I think perhaps you should go to a doctor Castle. Even if it is only sparingly, if it's still to that extent it may help to talk about it. You gave our boys quite a scare out there and if Gates finds out she may find you unfit to work with us," she said while doing a quick exam.
"Yea ok, I'll look into it, thanks Lanie. Really."
"Anytime writer boy," she replied while giving them a quick smile and going off to find the boys.
"Hey Castle?"
"Yea Beckett?"
"If you stop by later, I'll make sure to warm you up.." Kate said with a wink as she walked out of the break room leaving a shocked Castle behind.
