Ficlet Prompt: C&B make the perfect sandwich, proper placement of condiments is discussed.


"No, Castle, the mayo doesn't go on until after the cheese."

"But then it won't be anywhere near the lettuce!"

"Castle! Cheese. Mayo. That order."

"…And it won't be anywhere near the chicken, and won't that just make the whole thing a little dry?"

"Are you making this sandwich or not? CHEESE. MAYO. NOW!"

"Okay, okay! I'm doing it. Here. Done. Here's your sandwich."

"It doesn't taste right."

"Seriously?"

"It doesn't taste right. Make me another, from the top."

"We'll run out of lettuce."

"Then you can buy some more. Unless 'not Patterson rich' doesn't stretch to lettuce…?"

"Fine. Here. Lettuce, cheese… and mayo. Here's you're sandwich. …Wait, why aren't you eating it? What's wrong?"

"I don't feel like a sandwich any more."

"Oh, Kate, it's okay. No need to cry. There, love. What can I do to make it better?"

"Cut me up some pineapple?"

"That's my girl. Here we go. One slice of pineapple."

"Thanks, Castle."

"You're doing all the work here."

"It's 2am, though."

"And when baby's born I'll still be getting up. Might as well get in some practice."

"Castle?"

"Yeah?"

"Baby doesn't want this pineapple after all. Baby wants a sandwich."
