DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY CHARACTERS FROM THE SHOW CASTLE.

A/n: I would like to apologize in advance for any misspellings or incorrect use of grammar as I don't have a beta. But other than that I hope everyone enjoys this chapter.

I would like to point out that I know that on the show that Castle and Beckett are together but I'm not sure if I will actually write them in as a couple or not. Because honestly to tell you the truth whether they are together or not will have any actual effect of how the story will be written. Anyways.. Enjoy!

What happened? Where am I? Why does my body hurt so bad?

"Javi"

Javier was sitting in the chair leant back as comfortable as he could possibly be. Was dreaming about him and his boyfriend which wasn't something new. He heard his name but just dismissed it as a dream or wishful thinking. That was until he heard it again and it sounded like it was fading away which caught his attention. He slowly began to open his eyes when he saw that his boyfriend was awake.

"Kev, babe it's me." he said leaping out of the chair startling his boyfriend.

"What happened?" Kevin asked.

"Sshh babe. Don't talk. Save your energy." Javier said grabbing the cup of juice that was on the lunch tray beside the bed.

Kevin took a sip of juice carefully trying not to choke as he was still laying back at a angle. Thankfully nodding he began to push the cup away.

" Why am I in a hospital?" Kevin asked looking around the room.

"What do you remember?" Javier asked fearing for the worst.

He was ecstatic that Kevin was awake but he was suddenly scared of the fact that he couldn't remember anything. Maybe he was jumping the gun and making assumptions. So he just pushed that thought in the back of his mind and focused at the task at hand.

"Um.. Not much. I remember leaving the precinct and then heading home and that's about it." Kevin asked.

Javier rubbed his hands over his face. After hearing everything he realized that there was no mention of him at all. He just stared at him for a second looking for any kind of emotion but all he could see was confusion which was understandable.

"Do you know who I am?" Javier asked. Not really sure why he asked but he wanted to make sure.

"Yes I know who you are Javier Esposito." he said trying to let out a chuckle but it didn't come out as that. It came out more like a ball of air being released.

"That's it?" Javier asked not wanting to push the issue.

"Yeah babe that's it." he responded.

"Babe?" Javier asked with a smile.

"You thought I forgot that we were together?" Kevin asked reaching for his boyfriend's hand. Reassuring him that he wasn't forgotten.

"For a second I did."

"Javi you know that I love you way to much to ever forget you and don't you forget it." Kevin said pulling him down for a sweet kiss.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

Javier moved the chair closer to the bed so he could fill him in on everything that happened. He promised him that he would never leave his side.

(Later that day)

'Knock Knock'

"Hey. How is he?" Kate asked as she walked over to the bed.

"He woke up earlier but after he woke up they ran a few tests on him and checked him over. After that he said he was tired so I told him to just rest and I'll be here when he wakes up." Javier said.

"Awe." Castle said from the doorway.

"Dude. How much did you hear?" Javier asked standing up facing Castle who was now grinning like a little kid.

"Enough." Castle said walking over to his partner.

"Why didn't you tell me he was with you?" Javier asked looking at Kate with worry in his eyes.

"I came by myself to check on him. She didn't even know I was coming." Castle said jumping to the rescue.

Javier looked between the two of them and looked back at his boyfriend who was trying to shift around in that uncomfortable hospital bed.

"Your secret is safe with me." Castle said.

He shook his head in agreement before sitting back in the chair that was beside his boyfriend's bed. He thought about how it started out and only the two of them knew then it seems like the few people he ever wanted to know are the first to actually know about them.

If you would've asked him a year ago that he would be sitting with his boyfriend in the hospital he would laughed. This time last year he was an eligible bachelor of New York's finest and he was sleeping with women every night. Or at least that's what he told everybody the next day at work.

But that's what you do though. You go to work and make it seem like your life outside of work was worth living and made everyone envious of you and that's what he did. He wasn't completely sure why he did it but he did.

Maybe if he was honest with himself earlier he could've been with Kevin earlier and maybe this wouldn't have happened. But he knows better than anyone that if this wouldn't have happened it could've been something so much worse.

After Kate and Castle left and headed to their separate lives. He watched his boyfriend sleep so peacefully as if he had no an injury in the world. He stood up and gave him a kiss on the forehead before saying 'I love you babe'. He made himself comfortable again for another night of sleeping at the hospital before drifting off to into his own slumber.

Now that both Castle and Beckett know about their relationship. Who's next in line to find out? Will it be a friend or foe?

I hope that everyone enjoyed this chapter. Don't forget to review!
