Disclaimer : Castle is not mine.

It was 11pm when Castle got a phone call that night. He looked at the caller ID to see it was none other then Kate Beckett herself.

"Hello?" Castle said as a question but still managed to sound surprised.

"Castle I think I'm freaking out, Gate's is forcing me to go to my family reunion and I don't wonna go and even worse she is gonna check up on me to make sure I'm there and then she threatened to put me on desk duty, desk duty Castle. Urghhh." Beckett said almost in a blur. By the time Beckett had finished Castle was trying his hardest not to laugh.

"Want me to come over and we can watch a movie and you can relax and rant some more about Gate's" Castle said.

"Castle" Beckett said in a warning tone.

"No funny business just two friends..." Castle could sense Beckett caving in so he added "I will even bring ice cream." Castle said. He knew Beckett couldn't resist a sugary treat.

"Okaaay Castle but you'd better bring that ice cream..." Castle could practically here Beckett thinking "And Skittles... And chocolate... And popcorn" Beckett listed off.

"Anything else you and your sweet tooth needs ?" Castle asked with a chuckled.

"No" Beckett said thanking someone that Castle couldn't see her blush at her weakness for sweet things.

"Okay, I'll see you in a half our Kate." Castle said as her hung up. Beckett stared at the phone in shock Castle never called her Kate.

It was about 20 minutes later when there was a knock on the door.

When Kate opened the door Castle couldn't help the smirk that was on his face as he saw what Kate was wearing. Beckett looked confused at what Castle was staring at until she looked down at what she was wearing and blushed a furious red.

"Don't say a word Castle" Beckett said but she didn't sound as scary whilst wearing pajama bottoms with pigs on them with a white tank top and her hair in a messy bun and make-up free and a blush still on her cheeks.

"If I had known that pajamas were needed I would have brought my Batman pajamas" Castle said trying to make Beckett feel better about her pajamas.

Beckett laughed and opened the door even more to allow Castle in.

After they had popped the popcorn and chosen a movie they sat down on the couch on opposite ends.

Beckett had no idea what possessed her to do so but she agreed to watch a scary movie.

It was when the bad guy jumped out and Beckett had practically lept across the sofa and nearly on top of Castle.

"So the bad-ass Detective Beckett can't handle a scary movie without screaming like a girl." Castle teased.

"Shut up Castle, and news flash I am a girl." Beckett replied. Castle was enjoying this he never saw the overly girly side of Kate Beckett.

It was 1 am when the movie finally ended and to Kate's surprise Castle had fallen asleep on her couch. Beckett couldn't wake him he looked adorable with his ruffled hair and slightly opened mouth. Beckett smiled at his adorable face and took a photo on her phone hoping that the flash and click of the camera wouldn't wake him.

As Castle was asleep and Beckett couldn't resist she lightly cuddled into his side and rested her head on his chest. Beckett just closed her eyes when she heard Castle mumbled.

"Never pegged you as a cuddler Detective." Castle said as he wrapped his arms around her and pulling her closer against him.

"Tell anyone and I'll shoot you" She replied in true Beckett fashion.
