Boys will be Boys
After hearing that Castle got fixed after the birth of his son; Ryan and Espo felt the need to bust Castle's chops. Although it was mainly Espo doing the teasing. Both Ryan and Espo feared Beckett to a degree. Fear never stopped Esposito.
"So you got fixed; bro…"
"Kate wanted it."
"I think you should cool it; Javi."
"Not you too, bro."
"Hello. Detective Kevin Ryan".
"You guys, give him a break. I wouldn't bring my boyfriend around here either."
"Boyfriend? Did I miss something?"
"So that was Barry from the Love Shackle. He says the cuff might be theirs, but he'd have to examine 'em up close to know for sure."
"Well, then have evidence pull them and tell them I'm coming."
"Oh, a field trip to a sex store. I love this case."
"Look at him following her. Who's whipped, huh, me or him?"
"You, bro, hands down."
"So who's whipped now?" Ryan asked.
"The two of you."
With that Espo went to the break room to get a cup of coffee.
"Nah." Castle and Ryan said in unison before they parted ways.
Castle found his wife in one of the side hallways of the precinct.
"Done acting like a twelve year old?"
"What?"
"Nothing. It's just, I'm so used to you acting like a 12 year old all the time, it's kind of refreshing to see you as a father?"
"Makes you want me, right?"
"And there's the 12 year old again."
"Yeah."
"Good."
With that they shared a private kiss when it was just them.
When they parted Castle wanted to keep going.
"Later over a glass of wine; babe."
With that little tease; Beckett wink at her husband and sauntered away from him to her desk.
"You're such a tease." Castle said as he followed her.
"Oh I know."
Beckett wanted the last word this time around and that is exactly what she got.
