After entering the loft, they joined the band of people that had all gathered around the television, watching a live feed of Time Square.

"1 minute to go!" yelled the announcer

Everyone in the room cheered and held onto their significant other. Castle was still holding on to Kate's waist, and pulled her in closer to him, she rested her hand on his chest and looked into his eyes.

"Only a minute to go detective, don't want to back out now? It's not too late." he asked, sarcastically.

She smirked at him and shook her head, pulling herself even closer to him.

"I wouldn't want to be anywhere else at midnight than right here with you."

"30 seconds!" the announcer yelled once again.

"Kate, I don't know about you, but I want this to last longer than tonight. I don't want things to go back to the way they were. I like how it is now. I want to be here again with you next year, and for as many years as you will have me for after that"

"10 SECONDS!"

She looked away shyly but quickly returned his gaze, and leaned in close so she could whisper in his ear,

"Always, Castle. Always."

"3...2…1...HAPPY NEW YEAR!" the room erupted with shouts and laughter, noise makers going off people celebrating the start of the new year, which was momentarily interrupted by silence, as people all around the room had grabbed their partners and kissed them.

Castle pulled Beckett into his chest even further than he had perviously, and leant in and kissed her, softly at first, but she leant in to him and deepened the kiss.

When they pulled apart, they leant down and rested their foreheads together.

"Happy New Year Kate," he whispered to her,

"Happy New Year, Castle," she replied.
