notes: it's been a long time since i've shared anything i've written so i'm pretty nervous right now and i'm going to go hide.

You feel ridiculous, as you lay down in the snow and slide your arms and legs back and forth, pushing the icy powder out of the way. Castle’s doing the same next to you, with the biggest grin on his face. He’s had the same ridiculous smile on his face all morning. It was the first thing you saw when you opened your eyes this morning, his wide smile as he told the first snow of the year had fallen while you slept. You’d told him you wanted to keep on sleeping, but he wanted to play in the snow and you’ve never really been able to say no to him.

He stands, awkwardly, trying not to mark his masterpiece as he does, then offers you a hand, which you take and he pulls you up.
“Jump,” he tells you, then, and you raise an eyebrow in question. “We can’t leave footprints, Beckett. It would ruin it, so we need to hop away.”

“Hop?”

“Yes, come on, Beckett. Hop.”

You laugh at him, your ridiculous fiancé. But you do it.

You jump. You don’t let go of his hand when you do, and it pulls you off balance when he lands a second before you, so you end up pressed up against his back, teetering, and you think you’re going to fall but he reaches back and grasps your arm before you can.

When you both turn back the two snow angels are perfectly embedded into the snow. Castle’s beaming at you, when you turn to look at him, and he reminds you so much of a little boy in that moment, pure joy spilling from his eyes, excitement causing him to bounce on the spot and his hair flopping down over his forehead.

You shake your head at him, but your smile doesn’t slip from your face.

“They’re perfect,” he says, as he wraps his arms around your waist. “Do you think we do this every year?”

Your answer comes unbidden, and you’re telling him yes before you know it. Because it may make you feel ridiculous and you may hate the cold but his smile makes it worth it.
