"See I told you absolutely amazing" he pulled Kate closer to his side taking in her scent she smiled into his chest she was never one who liked to cuddle but she would never get tired of cuddling up to Castle she felt safe where with previous partners she would feel almost suffocated. And to be honest she didn't even mind when he would use little nicknames like babe, baby and honey in fact she kind of loved it not that she would ever admit that.
"I meant what I said you're never to leave that long again and that far away without me kay?"
"Trust me I wouldn't dare, couldn't sleep without and it was only a week!"
"Me either"
"You know I never took you to be one of those people that enjoyed getting picked up in a hugging embraced. Don't get me wrong I didn't hate it… what I'm trying to say is I like this side of you I mean I like all sides of you"
"Rick?"
"Hmm"
"Your rambling" she giggled kissing underneath his jaw letting out a soft moan. "Honestly Rick, I never was one for cuddling, nick names and PDA it always made me feel like I was suffocating, but with you it's different. It's almost like if I didn't do those things I felt lost I know it's sappy and completely cliché but I guess that's what love does to your brain hey? I mean don't get me wrong I don't want to have to see our photos all over page 6 yet…"
"I'm sensing a but coming?"
She leaned up and smiled as she pressed a soft kiss to his lips "but if we ever do end on page six just know that I would never been mad at you".
He pulled her in for another soft kiss before Kate snuggled back into his side "I love you Kate or should I say I love you babe" he smirked.
She lightly groaned and slapped his chest "gah I knew I shouldn't have said anything" she dramatically covered her face, not even trying to contain her smile he moved her hand away from her face to one of the best things he would ever see her smiling. He started leaving open mouth kissing all over her face her laugh spreading through his bedroom a sound he will never get tired of hearing he pulled her in for a long kiss. When they parted she couldn't barely manage to breath "what was that for?" she smiled running her thumb along the bottom of his lip.
He breathed in smiling down at her never breaking eye contact "you're just so beautiful, and your laugh god Kate it's the best thing I have ever heard I… just love you so much"
"Rick" she had tears in her eyes no man has ever loved her the way this wonderful man has he kissed away the small tear that fell from her eye "I'll always love you, you know that right Kate?" god she could just slap him right now the fact that he had to ask her like he honestly had no idea she nodded placing her hand on his cheek lightly stroking his cheek with her thumb.
"Rick trust me after the last couple of months I could never doubt that you didn't love me and if I wasn't such a fool and so completely stubborn I would have listened to my heart a long time ago but I need you to know that what I am about to say is completely the truth and don't ever doubt what I am about to say. Because you Richard Castle you are the only man I have ever loved, and I mean it I love you so much and there is nothing in this world that I want more than you and honestly that scares me but even though it scares me, I wouldn't change it for anything".
He pulled her in for a deep kiss both of them putting all their feelings, love into this one kiss that promised forever, love, joy and most of all a life together full of love because even though they both knew it was too early in their relationship Rick was her one and done and Kate was his forever.
Kate woke up the next morning and when she rolled over she could feel the heat radiating of the man she loved instead she was presented with the emptiness that was his side of the bed but the smell of breakfast seething it's way through the loft made her smile, her stomach agreeing by making one of the loudest noises she had heard and she was kind of glad Castle wasn't lying next to her to hear that. She moved of the bed trying to find something to put on she contemplated on walking out completely naked because both Martha and Alexis had slept out last night but she knew she was hungry and clearly knew that if she were to walk out there without a stitch on they would soon forget about their food.
She grabbed Ricks button up shirt that he had worn yesterday and put a pair of his boxer on folding them at the waist so they wouldn't fall down. She buttoned just the right amount of buttons so she looked decent and then padded her way out to see Castle, there he was wearing nothing but an apron and his iron man boxers egg flip in hand as he flipped the pancakes she snuck up behind him surprising him by grabbing his butt then wrapping her arms around his waist slipping her fingertips into the hem of his boxer resting them on his hips pressing her face into his back.
"Morning beautiful" he loved just how adorable Kate could be in the morning and frisky.
"Hmm coffee?"
He couldn't help but chuckle "love you too"
"Shut up" she mumbled making her way to the mug that he had already filled for her before she was out of the reach of his hands he quickly pinched her butt she turned around raising her eyebrow he smirked "hey I miss your cute little butt too!" he simply stated. She just shook her head taking a sip of her coffee closing her eyes as the warmth soothed her throat as she hummed in enjoyment.
After breakfast they decided to shower together Castle loved showering with Kate it didn't always involve having sex not saying making love in the shower with Kate wasn't appealing because it definitely was. But most times their showers included cleaning each other which he absolutely loved especially when she would stick all his hair up like a crazy scientist and her face, her laugh made his heart pound like no tomorrow.
He started to rub Kates cherry lotion over her body which she had somehow left over at his sometime ago he loved how they both finally felt comfortable enough to leave their belongings at each other's. He kissed the back of her neck "hmm you smell good" she shook her head "yeah?"
"mmhmm" he turned her around so they were now facing each other he placed his hands around her hips pulling her pressed against him he started kissing her neck making his way to her lips pulling her in for a soft kiss as she ran her fingers through his hair humming into his mouth.
They were now making the bed after their rather steamy make out session in the shower. "You know you're lucky I have spare clothes here Rick I mean I really didn't want to borrow Lex's clothes and explain to her when she came home that it was because her father the impatient man he is ripped my blouse off" she smirked
Castle just laughed "yeah well if you weren't all sexy and a tease wearing a shirt with buttons! That wouldn't have happened" Kate couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Anyway Mr. writer man any plans today?"
He moved around to the side of the bed where Kate was standing pulling her into a hug "well I was kind of hoping we could just lounge around all day with Lex and have a movie marathon what do you think?"
"I would love that!"
He hummed into her neck kissing the crook of her neck and shoulder, Kate started to move back towards the bed falling onto her back as Castle fell with her next to her they moved into the middle of the bed where they just laid there on their sides, just talking about everything and anything.
"I still can't believe you booked a whole four days off for me"
"Technically I booked them off so I could sleep on this comfy bed I mean a week in mine or lonely after spending countless nights in this one as soon as I knew you were coming home I just had to take the opportunity" with that response Castle grabbed Kate by the sides tickling her, her laugh filling the room.
"RICK…..CASTLE" she gasped god he was evil he was such a kid but honestly she wouldn't have it any other way. "Fine I'll stop but there's just no better sound then your laugh it makes me fall in love with you more every time"
She gave him a hard quick kiss "I love you too even when you act like a man child, it just means your my man child"
He pulled her towards him by the waist "hmm I like the sound of that and I love how you are here with me and for Alexis it truly means the world to me she absolutely loves you being here".
She smiled at his response "well I love being here too" she noticed Castles mind start to wonder almost like he was too scared to say something so she decided to force it out of him.
"Rick, what is it?"
He didn't know what to say he's been thinking about it for a while now and after hearing her say that he knew he had to ask he took a shaky breath "Kate I want to ask you something but I don't want to ruin this… us"
"Hey Rick, listen to me nothing will ruin this nothing, I want it all with you so if that means you asking crazy questions than I will suffer!" she joked bringing a small smile to his face.
"You want it all with me?" he asked almost in disbelief
"Everything" she simply stated giving him a small kiss on the lips.
He hesitated at first but finally gained the courage to ask "in that case Kate will you move in with me?"
She breathed in she wasn't sure what she was expecting him to ask what shocked her even more was that when he asked her it didn't scare her away "are… are you sure I mean that is a big step what about your mother and Alexis?"
He could breathe she didn't run or say no in fact he's pretty sure she will say yes "I talked to them a while ago and Kate you are family they love you too, and they want you here but only if you're ready I don't want to push you I mean plus you just admitted that you only booked a weekend off so you could lay on my bed" he added in for a bit of a light joke.
She smiled at this amazing man how she got so lucky to be apart of the Castle family she had no idea she breathed in "in that case yes, yes I'll move in with you" his face could shined brighter than a Christmas tree at night he pulled her in for a searing kiss and when they broke he pressed his head against hers "really?"
Kate laughed and kiss him again "yes, yes, yes!" she stated.
