[If Matt sought out softness, he would look elsewhere. He knows what they're about when they're together and that it's not a matter of a search for something gentle. They only seek the peace that lasts in moments when the din is quieted and the world can go silent. Just for a little while. Frank has a way about him that allows Matt to close out the world and he doesn't seek anything else but that and to offer it as much as he can in kind.
It would be easy to shift things, to roll their bodies until it was Frank's back against the countertop but he doesn't. Instead, he presses his hand to the back of Castle's neck and pulls him in until they're flush against each other and the weight pushes Matt's hip even harder against the edge. He can feel Frank's heartbeat against his chest instead of just hearing it and the steady rhythm is a strange comfort.]
