Hey guys! I appear with yet another Castle Fanfiction for you. Basically, I am trying to get back into my writer groove which seems to have disappeared over the last few months. I figure if I cram writing down my own throat, I'll get better. Here's hoping.

This particular story is actually a series of daily one shots based on different fruits. You'll quickly discover that these are what are known - by some - as 'Alphabet Drabbles'. Everyday I write a fruit-based drabble and it will be based on a letter of the alphabet. Today will be 'A' and tomorrow will be 'B' and so on and so forth until July 27th at which point, this will end. They will be very short but usually cute and most likely basedon Caskett as they are one of my favorite relationships of all time. I can't explain how but I have found a fruit for every single letter of the alphabet - and I didn't go into the latin terms so be excited to see how I do Q and X and Z. WIsh me luck!

Enjoy 3

Apples: They were being so domestic about everything. They had gotten into this daily morning routine of getting up together – usually involving some form of kissing – dressing each other – also involving some form of kissing – and then making breakfast together – rarely involving some form of kissing for the sake of the other people living in the loft. They had only been living together for a few months but it just felt so natural to be bustling around the kitchen in the mornings. It was routine; it was natural.

It was boring.

Don't get her wrong, Kate loved routine. It made her feel safe and secure but honestly… she needed a little bit of spontaneity back in her life.

She glanced at Castle and smiled mysteriously at his backside as he flipped the pancakes – as usual. Placing her hands behind her back, she tiptoed over to him with a seductive smile on her face.

"Oh Ricky," She whispered in his ear. She decided he would have jumped in surprise if she wasn't breathing down his neck. She knew how sensitive his shoulders and neck were and the heat from her mouth would have been enough to cause shivers down his spin.

"Mhm?" She saw him gulp; nearly missing the pancake he had flipped.

"I bet I can make you scream 'Apples' right now." There was the shiver she was looking for.

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah." She took a few steps back, doubting that he even noticed and bit her lip. "Hey Rick," he turned to look at her "catch." She pulled her hands out to reveal a shiny red apple and tossed it at him. Without really thinking, he reached out and caught the apple in his hands.

"Ah, Apples." He half-screamed as he secured the apple in his palms.

It took him a moment to register what had just happened. Offering her a mock glare, he tossed the apple back at her muttering 'tease' under his breath as he returned to his partially burnt pancakes. She smiled.

Yup, sometimes a little spontaneity is just what you need to brighten your morning.
