Summary: Esposito knows this is a terrible idea. He does it anyway.
Warnings: Spoilers for Season 4, Episode 4
Javier Esposito couldn’t help but think something was missing from this picture.
Beckett. Castle. A plan that wasn’t absolutely insane and probably a little illegal considering it might fall under Entrapment.
His police uniform.
But seeing Ryan in that get-up – hell, seeing Ryan looking even a little more at-ease now that he had a plan (albeit a ridiculous one) – was kind of worth it. Worth the possible trip to the Ice Queen, the stern glares from Beckett, and maybe even a good ribbing from Castle.
‘Oh, bro, this better be worth it.’
Taking a deep breath, he scanned the library for Ryan and saw him near the books on knitting.
Go figure.
His partner in place, Esposito hunched over and broke into the best “Hip Frat Boy” impression he could pull off on short notice. He was almost ashamed to say he’d pass pretty well.
“Man, you’ve changed, bro! You’ve changed!” As the bodyguard man-handled him out of the library (‘Don’t break his arm, don’t break his legs.’), he saw Ryan slip up to Ben. And the way Ryan stood – shoulders back, not looking over his shoulder, every inch the cop and yet understanding man he was…
His embarrassment was redeemed.
That didn’t mean he wasn’t getting pictures of Ryan, though. And keeping them. And maybe handing them out at the wedding. After all – a best man had an obligation!
