Hey everyone! Thanks for the support some said that they wanted me to continue, some said that they'd love to review if some of my own imagination was involved, so here it goes.

The Start of Always

Kate pulled Castle into his room, but not to his bed. Instead, she pulled him towards the couch and TV that was set up in the corner.

"I don't want to move to fast," She said, as if trying to justify herself.

All he did was shake his head, "I understand, you don't need to explain yourself to me."

Smiling she sat down, pulling him along with her.

"What movie should we watch?" Castle said, beginning to turn on the television.

"I don't really care actually," She said after thinking for a minute, "Whatever you want to watch is fine with me."

He looked at her, eyes wide, "I don't think a girl has ever let ME choose before, this is awesome!"

Kate smiled at how he gone from acting like a mature man to a little kid in a matter of minutes. She couldn't believe how she had waited so long to have something that was right in front of her. Castle had always been there for her, never letting her down, never giving up on her, never letting her go back into the hole that she had been living in since way before she had met him.

"Kate?"

"Huh?"

"I said are you okay with Insidious?"

"Oh, yeah sure that sounds good." She said smiling.

"Are you okay? You kind of spaced out there for a second."

She nodded, and grabbed his hand. "I'm better than fine. Actually, I don't think I've ever been better."

They stared at each other in comfortable silence, before Rick broke the moment by dimming the lights and grabbing Kate and pulling her towards him. He felt her stiffen, and momentarily thought he had gone too far. But slowly she relaxed into his grip, and pulled herself to him.

Castle was about to start the movie, when he felt Kate start to shake beside him. At first he thought he was just imagining it, but soon she was shivering out of control and couldn't keep herself from sneezing.

"Kate," Castle said his voice full of concern, "What's wrong?"

She hid her face in his shoulder and didn't answer. He pulled her face up and made her look at him. He gasped at what he saw. Her lips were a dark blue, as well as the bags under her eyes. There were hand marks around her neck, and bruises started to slowly show themselves. His hands went to her shirt, and he realized how soaked she was from being out in the rain all that time. No wonder she was shivering, she was probably freezing.

"Kate." He said, barely whispering.

"I'm fine," She said in a hoarse voice, "Don't worry it's just from today, they'll go away eventually."

She could see the concern written all over his face, and touched it. "Castle. Don't. Worry." She said between kisses.

Still, he got up and went to his dresser, and grabbed some sweatpants and a Spiderman shirt.

"Put these on, you need to warm up."

Reluctantly, she got up and grabbed the clothes from him, leaving her hands touching him for longer than necessary.

"The bathroom's right in there." He said pointing at the closed door beside his bed, "Come out when you're finished."

When Kate emerged from the bathroom, she froze at what she saw. There were blankets and cushions EVERYWHERE!

"Rick, what are you…?" She said looking at him all cozy on the floor staring at the TV.

"Well," He said patting the spot next to him, "You were cold, and I thought this would be a good way to warm you up. I do it with Alexis all the time."

Smiling, she sat down beside him.

"Start the movie silly."

He smiled back at her, "With pleasure."

The movie started, and at first Kate was wide awake, but as the movie went on Kate's eyes slowly began to close on her. She couldn't help it; this nest he had made was so damn comfortable! Castle felt her breath start to even out and pondered if he should wake her up or let her sleep.

"Kate," He whispered into her hair, "Kate you need to get some sleep."

"No," she mumbled under her breath, "Comfy."

He laughed, the vibrations making her head bob up and down. "Common, up we get."

"No."

"Yes."

"Castle, no."

"Beckett, yes."

"I hate you."

"You love me."

"No I don't, you're making me get up."

"I'm only making you get up because you're falling asleep."

Kate lifted her head, and kissed him. It started out slow, but soon enough it was very heated. He ran his tongue along her bottom lip, asking for permission she granted. His tongue slipped into her mouth, and their tongue danced around each other. Grabbing his head, Kate tried to get Rick as close to her as possible. Before things got too heated, Kate pulled away.

"Still think I need sleep?"

"Oh yes." Castle said laughing.

"Dammit."

"Don't worry Beckett, I'm quite a gentleman when it comes to the ladies."

Yeah, I bet THAT'S why you got the 'ladies' man' name."

"Ouch, you wound me."

"You wound yourself Castle."

Rick looked at her with love, and smiled. Without warning he picked her up and carried her to his bed.

"Castle let me go!"

"No. You. Bed. Sleep. Now."

"Fine."

Basking in his victory, Castle put her down and started fist pounding and dancing in circles.

"What the hell are you doing Castle?"

"Well my dear Beckett," Rick said with a grin, "This would be my victory dance because I have won."

"Whatever," Kate said, letting out a giant yawn, "I'll get you….next time…."

"Until tomorrow my dear, goodnight."

"Goodnight….love you…"

"I love you too."
