Another idea from Jane Daisy. I am still open to anyone's ideas as well.

Team Castle

Kate watches at the corner of her eye as Castle smiles at his phone. A real genuine smile that she has come to realize, only appears when involving two people, Alexis, and herself, and Kate hasn't done anything in the last few minutes to warrant such a smile. She finds herself smiling herself and bites her lip when Castle looks over and catches her.

"How's Alexis?" She asks before he can question her first.

"Much better actually. She just texted me to say she's going out with some friends to see that new twilight movie." He scoffs at the word 'twilight." rolling his eyes upwards and leaning back in his chair.

"Not a fan?" Kate smirks.

"Are you kidding me?" He asks now leaning forward with the face that says she's about to be schooled. "For one, those are not real vampires. Sparkling in the sun? Come on!"

"I agree." Kate says, which momentarily stops Castle in his tracks. He rests his head in his palm listening. "I mean, for one, no one has really been able to write a decent vampire book since Anne Rice." She continues.

"Interview with a Vampire." Castle pipes in. "Exactly. Now it's either they sparkle, can walk in the daylight with rings, or just walk right into your house."

"Even Buffy did it right." Kate says now leaning in, very into this conversation. She watches as both of Castle's eyebrows shoot up. He apparently wasn't expecting her to bring Buffy the Vampire slayer into this. She smirks.

Castle shakes off the shock and goes with it. "Right. I mean, where is the old fashioned Vampire huh?" His head comes out of his palm and he's talking with his hands now. "The whole idea of being a "seeker of the night" is that you in fact only come out after dark, and you have to be invited into someones home."

"Right!" Kate says animatedly gesturing towards Castle with an open hand. "Where's the seduction?"

Castle almost jumps out of his seat he's so excited about this conversation, almost like building theory. "It's just not the same anymore."

"Your right." Kate finishes leaning back in her chair with a huge smile.

The two stare at each other, out of breath as if they just theorized back and forth about a case. "You were a diehard Anne Rice Fan weren't you?" Castle asks, with a narrowing of his eyes and a playful tone.

"Not as much as a Castle fan." She says teasingly.

"Seriously?" He asks completely hopeful.

"No." She rolls her eyes.

He falls back against his seat and glares at her for a moment until his phone vibrates. "She got in." He remarks.

"That's surprising." Kate says looking back at her neglected paperwork.

"She bought the tickets online in advance."

"Ah." More silence except for pen scratching on paper.

"So." Castle starts, looking over his phone at Kate mischievously.

"What. Castle?"

"Are you team Edward or team Jacob?" He asks knowingly.

Kate looks up from her paperwork, pen halfway to paper. "What?"

His grin grows wider. "Come on Beckett." He says resting his elbow on the desk. "Tell me you weren't a little curious?" He stares her down, eyes shining with mirth.

"About what?" She says although she knows and she's trying to hide it.

He waggles an eyebrow. "About the twilight movies...I bet you saw them."

"I take it you did." She says trying to turn this around.

"Alexis made me." He says now on the defensive.

"Suuuure she did, Castle." She turns back to her work. "How else would you know they sparkle?"

He says nothing, just glares.

Kate laughs, really laughs.

"Oh come on Kate. Who would you choose?" He pesters her further.

"Neither." She says honestly.

"Really? You wouldn't be with Edward, I mean you could be just like him, live forever."

Kate shakes her head. "I don't want to live forever." She says in all seriousness.

He doesn't seem all that surprised by this. "Okay, then be with Jacob, have your very own over sized puppy." He says with a small chuckle.

"I already have that." She says without hesitation, smirking at him from the corner of her eye.

"Ha ha very funny." He says crossing his arms and going silent.

After a while his quite pondering unnerves her and she can't help but look up.

"Okay, what about Team Rook?" He asks, although she cannot help but wonder if there is some sort of double entendre.

Kate thinks on that for a moment, and decides to answer with the truth. "I'm definitely Team Rook." She says with a smile.

Castle seems very pleased with that answer, smiling back at her and letting her do her paperwork. After a good minute or so Kate taps her pen over bottom lip. "hey." She says. Getting his attention.

Castle looks up from the notebook he's pulled out of her top drawer. "hmm?"

Kate fixes him with a teasing expression. "Isn't the rook shaped like a Castle?"

Just a little snippet..
