Crime Dramas Suck - Hank Green
(This one is a little fun. Definitely recommend you listen to the song!)
They're curled up on the couch in front of her television watching the Friday night movie after a long week, her in his arms. The movie ends and they both know they should go to sleep but their legs are too weary to carry them; their minds to exhausted to bother with the effort.
As the rolling credits come to an end and she notices her eyes growing heavier she's jolted awake by an all too familiar noise - an episode of CSI is beginning.
"We should go to bed," She states plainly.
He shifts his body slightly, "Or we could watch this." It wasn't a question. "See if we can solve it first?"
She's too tired to argue. "I suppose we could do that," She says as she plants a chaste kiss on his lips. "But you do know that crime dramas suck, right?"
He raises his eyebrows at her in that way she finds much too sexy. "They do not!"
"Oh come on! You wait, we'll meet some guy in the first fifteen minutes and he'll come back because he did it." She knows she's right.
They watch as the team find semen covering almost the entirety of the crime scene, something Kate points out is almost impossible. Castle doesn't seem to mind, even when they test it with a semen testing machine.
"You've got to be kidding me!" She yells at the television as she sits up straighter. She can't help but notice, however, that Castle is engrossed.
When it looks like the guy who obviously committed the crime might get away with it, Castle starts yelling at the TV. Of course he does, Kate thinks to herself as she watches. She knows, however, that the guy is going to confess. They always do, at least on the shows. Real life? Not so much.
She's right. The guy not only confesses but reveals how he managed to commit the crime. She knew it, and she knew how he did it. Castle, however, had no idea. She can't help but feel smug as she turns to him and says "I told you so!"
He rolls his eyes at her. "Well you are a detective."
