fan fic
I don't it say it often... but here is some fan-fic *L*
One of these days maybe I'll sit down and write something that isn't for a challenge, so it might actually be over 300 words ;)
Title: Fairy Tale Ending
Show: Castle
Rating: G, fluff
Pairing: Castle/Beckett
Spoilers: none
A/N: Short and Fluffy. Made for a post episode/under 300 word fic challenge at castleland. Takes place after 'Demons', but really could be set after any of thier creepier cases. Thanks to hummingfly67 for the beta :)
Summary: Castle attempts to take Beckett's mind off their last case.
Her fingers brushed against his as she tried to sneak some popcorn out of his bucket. Caught in the act, she looked at him sheepishly in the dimly lit theater.
“I would have gotten you your own,“ he scolded, moving the bucket firmly into his lap. A raised eyebrow dared her to try again. “You said you didn’t want any?”
“I said, I shouldn't,” she countered. “Wanting and needing can be two very different things, Castle.”
“Sometimes I find it best to just relax and ignore that annoying rational part of your brain.”
“So this is your way of distracting me... a movie and tempting me with extremely fattening popcorn?”
“Is it working?” he asked, hopefully.
“Yes,” she smiled. “I believe it is.”
“Good. You’d said you wanted something to take your mind of our last case... something with a low creep factor. This seemed like the perfect choice.”
Catching the look in her eye, he asked, “You don't agree?”
“Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the thought. I'm guess I’m just more surprised at the movie you picked.”
“What? The theater’s showing revivals of modern classics, you don't think this qualifies?”
“I'm not questioning their choice, I'm questioning yours. I suppose I just thought you would have chosen something different. You know, less love story and more action, explosions... nudity.”
“Are you questioning my manliness, Detective? I'll have you know this movie has plenty of action. Not to mention revenge, sword fighting, pirates, giants, wizards... rodents of unusual size...”
“And true love?”
“Yeah, well... that's good too,” he conceded, looking into her eyes.
Her self-restraint weakening on more than one front, she bit her lower lip, before commanding with a laugh, “Give me some popcorn, Castle.”
He just smiled, telling her, “As you wish.”
