Disclaimer : Castle is not mine.
It was around 10 when everyone decided it was time to go to bed.
Alexis stood up and went for the stairs with Tim following her, Castle and Beckett exchanged a confused look.
"Uhh Tim where ya going ?" Castle asked walking over to them with a frown on his face.
"To bed sir." Tim said politely.
Alexis and Tim continued to walk up the stairs but Castle grabbed Tim's arm stopping him from following Alexis the only thing he forgot was how protective Alexis is of Tim and he quickly found himself with his arm behind his back.
"Okay okay let go Alexis let go." Castle said trying to get her to release his arm.
"Me and Tim have slept in the same bed for the whole time we were there and that is not going to change now. We are going to sleep now, night." Alexis said letting go of his arm.
Alexis let go of his arm and continued to go upstairs to sleep with Tim following her, Tim looked over his shoulder and gave an apologetic smile and shrug of his shoulders and went to follow her. Castle ran a hand through his hair and let out a deep sigh. Beckett walked over to him and gave him a hug and Castle happily returned it.
"No offence but you look like you've aged since Alexis was taken." He laughed at that and pulled away from her.
"Thank you." He whispered.
Meanwhile upstairs in Alexis' room they were sitting on Alexis bed legs crossed and facing each other and talking.
"You shouldn't have done that." Tim said and Alexis looked down.
"I thought he was going to hurt you." Alexis said quietly.
"I know."
"I want him to understand that your my only friend, your my best friend and we haven't been not together for a while and well I need you Timmy." Alexis said with a tear in her eye.
"I know Lexis but you need to remember he went through something as well, it may have been different but he went through something as well. He's just trying to help and right now he will be protective of you." Tim said and Alexis sighed and nodded.
"Lets talk about something else." Alexis said.
"What do you want to do tomorrow ?" Tim asked with a happy smile. No matter what Alexis wanted to do Tim would follow her whenever she wanted, she was his Lexie.
"I dunno what do you want to do ?" Alexis asked.
"No fair I asked you first I know you know what you want to do because you have that glint in your eye, so tell me Lexie what do you want to do ?."
Alexis smiled brightly at him "I want to leave the loft and go somewhere, anywhere, just walk ya know ? Is that weird I mean I know nothing about where we are." Alexis smiled and looked away once again.
Tim bent down at a funny angle so he could see her face and she smiled at him. "That sounds perfect." He said and Alexis smiled and stretched her legs out. Alexis tapped her lap just above her knees and Tim laid his head down and Alexis played with his hair.
"Tim why don't we ever talk about you or what your home was like ?" Alexis asked.
"Because I don't know anything about home and there's no point in doing what I want to do." Tim said.
"What do you want to do ?" Alexis asked looking over at him.
"I want to do whatever you do Lex." Tim said shyly and blushed a little. Alexis smiled at this and laid back with Tim joining her on the pillows. They stared at each other for ages until someone neither of them knew fell asleep but it was okay because the were together and that's all they both needed.
