"Espo! Lanie! Guys! Oh my god!" He rolled as fast as he could which turned out to be pretty fast. Except for the fact that he didn't know how to stop. Until Jenny came out and grabbed his wheelchair, because if she didn't then he would have missed the room and would have gone down a staircase.
"Kev, what's wrong? Are you okay?" The detectives alarming yells made his wife-to-be think that something was wrong with him. Well something was wrong, just not with him.
"No baby, I'm fine. But where did Javier and Lanie go? Because we have an issue."
"THEY WHAT!" Kevin and Jenny found them in the cafeteria, and he told them what he saw.
"Yeah, I know! I was going to ask them if they wanted anything from down here. But they were holding hands, and then her other hand was on his cheek, and then BAAM SAID THE LADY!" Esposito fed the birds, while Lanie was still trying to figure out what was going on. Everything in her life had been so crazy ever since she and Javier broke up. But, this sudden brush with death had them thinking that they don't have all of the time in the world, so they have to spend it with someone they care.
"Our Rick and Kate? Castle and Beckett? Our friends who are hopelessly in love but can't see a god damned thing? Are you sure that it's them, because they've never gone out on a date, let alone kiss."
"Oye chica, I think you may be wrong there." Javier Esposito was walking on thin ice, calling out Lanie like that.
"Excuse me? Javier Esposito, what the hell are you talking about? My girl didn't tell me nothing about any kiss."
"Well we were talking to that security guard that they 'distracted' outside, on that day they saved us from Lockwood. They pretended to be a wasted couple going into one of the neighboring buildings. And Beckett was reaching for her gun, but uh-." He stopped because he didn't want to be physically harmed in a god damned hospital.
But Ryan picked up right from where he stopped. "But Castle grabbed her hand and, then they were um making out."
Everyone's jaws were hanging so low that they were grazing the ground. Because these two people were caught kissing, TWICE. And yet they won't admit that they have feelings for each other.
"Boys, I'll be back in a few. Jenny, want to come with me?"
"Yeah, it sounds great!" They both kissed their men goodbye and headed towards the elevators.
"What in God's hell is wrong with you woman?" Rick tried to greet Lanie and Jenny, but was abruptly cut off by Lanie. "Nu-uh, writer boy. Go down to the cafeteria with your boyfriends." She could sense a rebuttal coming. "NOW!" Before he left, he flashed a smile at Kate. One that said good luck, I'll miss you. See you later, I love you.
"What the hell is wrong with you! You didn't even tell me in the first place. And now it happened AGAIN, and you working even admit that it happened!"
"Hi Lanie, hi Jenny. Yeah, I'm feeling better thanks for asking, but I'm a little tired, so can you come back later?"
"Tired my ass. What are you tired from? Lying to me AND RICK? Or are you already tired of making out with writer boy?"
"We weren't making out! Jeez it was just a simple kiss, Ryan exaggerated!"
"No, he told us about the simple kiss. But do you want to tell us what happened last year, when you went to save the boys? Maybe like how you distracted the guard?
If looks could kill, then they'd all be at Kate's funeral, because Lanie was shooting daggers at her. She explained everything, just like the boys had said it.
"But it's not like I enjoyed it because I DIDN'T. Because I had JOSH."
"Oh right, JOSH, the doctor who was always on call when you were off. Who blamed RICK for you getting shot. Who PUNCHED RICK in the hallway of that hospital. Because that's what boyfriends do right? They yell at your best friend and blame them because you almost died? Some boyfriend he was."
"Well my boyfriend, now, is always here with me. He can't yell, or punch, or blame my best friend. Because he IS my best friend. AND I LOVE HIM."
Jenny was a little lost so she spoke up. "Um, sorry, but who are you in love with, the doctor?"
"No, Rick. I'm in love with Rick Castle."
"I love you to." He walked in to the room. "But you already know that. And I should leave, because I just came in to get my phone. I left it in here." He picked up his phone and placed a kiss on Kate's forehead.
But Lanie loved seeing them together, and seeing her friend happy. "No stay. I was going to talk to Javi about something." Jenny muttered something about Ryan being discharged and left.
"So, Castle. When are you driving me back to you're place?" She waved her discharge papers in his face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~LATER~~~~~~~~~~~THAT~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~NIGHT~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"It's been a hell of a day, so I'm going to bed. Goodnight Rick, thank you for everything."
"Always." He noticed that she was walking into his bedroom. "I'll stay in the guest room."
"Castle, we're adults, and we're dating. So I think it's okay if we sleep in the same bed."
He climbed in next to her, and put his arm around her. Her head fit perfectly in the crook of his neck.
Just as she expected.
A/N: that's the end of the story! Thanks everyone(:
