Rated m for future chapters!
SCULLY POV
Basement X files office: Friday 5:30pm
"Ah! Last case report. Finally, I can get out of here" I think to myself. Well I try to think to myself anyway; really it's more of dragging the work on so I can look at my own piece of eye candy for a bit longer- My Mulder. So I don't have to go home to my lonely apartment and pretend to be professional. He's not really mine, in that sense but how I wish…
"SCULLY!" huh what, Mulder why are you yelling? "I've been calling you at least 10 times now, I need your signature on this so we can both get out of here…some people believe I have no life outside of work but even Spooky Mulder wants to go home on a Friday night"
"Yeah sure Mulder, bring it over here" Oh god, he's doing that sexy thing with his tongue again. With the sunflower seed, I'm sure that oral fixation would prove useful in another situation too. What is wrong with you Dana? He is your FBI partner and if he knew that you thought of him that way…whatever. Tonight I'll tell him, what do I have to lose?
"Okay Scully we're done. I'll drop these by Skinner on my way out and I'll see you Monday. Have a nice weekend and I'll give you a call Sunday maybe about that new case in Florida"
"Thanks Mulder. You too!" now or never Dana! Can you really face another weekend in that lonely apartment while you know he's sitting at home doing nothing important? Ask him over! I watch him put his jacket on, over those perfectly toned muscles. How can a man be so modest about it? He has an excellent body. Just as he turned to give me one of those dreamy smiles, the kind that melt your heart with one glance. I suddenly reacted surprising even myself. "Hey Mulder, what do you say to coming over tonight? We can order in Chinese or Pizza, or anything really and grab a movie. I feel like some company and we don't see much of each other outside work"
"Are you sure Scully?" he looks a bit shocked "I'd love to. How about I rent a movie on the way over at about 8 and I'll bring some drinks. Do you have any preferences?" great, now I just have to figure out how to admit my secret to him, hopefully the alcohol will help. "That sounds good, I don't mind, just bring whatever and I'll sort out the food when you get over. See you at 8!" "Bye Scully"
And he left; I silently thanked my rational brain for not interfering this one time. Inter office relationships were really frowned upon at the Bureau but after 5 years of watching and admiring him from a distance, going home knowing that both him and I have not been involved with another or even dated in the time we've been partnered. It plays hell on my heart and sometimes the only release for the built up tension is my own hand in the privacy of my home or office female toilets which are so rarely used in the basement.
Crap! I better get going if I'm going to look good for Mulder tonight.
MULDER POV
Wow, SHE invited ME over? And the way she looked at me…was that my imagination or was there something in her eyes that indicated more than two work friends meeting for dinner? I'd rarely seen the professional Dr Agent Dana Scully losing her composure.
Fox Mulder's Apartment: 6.15pm
On my way in I checked the mail, it's the usual crap. Bills, and people trying to sell me stuff. Looking at the time on the VCR on the way in, I throw the mail onto the coffee table and rush to the shower. I still have to decide what to wear and get across town for a movie then to Scully's.
I toweled myself dry and tousled my hair with a bit of wax, normally I didn't make the effort but I had something to tell Scully tonight. After searching through my piles of clothes in the closet I finally decided on some dark jeans and a simple white shirt then after glancing at the time, I grabbed my wallet, cell phone and locked the door.
Who would have thought choosing wine and a movie for a date could be so difficult? A date, is that what this is? I wonder what Scully thinks of tonight… I settled for a simple bottle of white chardonnay and the movie 'Alien'. Probably not Scully's first choice but I had to keep some of my male pride at the store.
I jumped into my car and tried to plan out the conversation in my head on the way over.
SCULLY POV
Dana Scully's Apartment: 7.55pm
He'll be here in 5 minutes Dana, pull yourself together! If I 'fix' my hair one more time, I will need to re-curl it over again. I decided to wear some jeans and a top that was slightly tighter and a lower cut than I usually would, I wasn't sure whether he would go more casual than this but I had no time to change for the 7th time tonight.
I gathered the take out menus from my purse. Little did he know that I never eat from these places so had to go and collect some from my neighbor after work. I laid them out on the kitchen countertop and glanced at the clock-radio. Exactly 8:00pm, he should be here anytime now. What if he decided not to come? This whole thing was a bad idea; my heart can't take being rejected by Fox Mulder. Maybe I should take the easy way out and not mention my feelings. That is if he even shows up. My last minute doubt thoughts were abruptly disturbed by the door knocking and I rushed –but not too eagerly- to answer it.
"Good evening Scully!" he said as I swung open the front door. He was holding a bottle shaped brown bag and another bag which I assumed contained the movie. But I focused mainly on his appearance. I felt like 15 years old again, staring. He was wearing gorgeous dark jeans that were just tight enough to highlight his ass and a casual white shirt that showed every one of those upper body muscles and hugged his masculine shoulders. Stop staring Dana and invite him inside! It was then that I realized that I hadn't said anything. "Hey Mulder, Come on in. I wasn't sure what you wanted to eat so I waited for you to get here before I ordered."
MULDER POV
Dana Scully's Apartment 8.10pm
Wow. Was all my mind could process when she opened that door. Her top showed off her curves just right and she was showing a little more cleavage than I would have expected from Scully. She had a certain look in her eye, the same one as from the office when she invited me here. Maybe I'm over analyzing things but I sure as hell know that I'm going to need to think a lot about Skinner, case reports and my grandmother to keep certain parts of my anatomy under control tonight.
I was woken from my daze by her invitation inside. C'mon Fox don't make a fool of yourself now. I followed her inside and gave her the wine to leave in the Fridge for now and presented the movie. "Alien, Mulder? Really?" "Yeah Scully it's a classic. I know you don't usually like that sort of thing but hey, you never know! Tonight could be your lucky night" she gave me the famous Scully eyebrow and a flirty look as I tried to persuade her. So much for keeping certain parts under control. "Excuse me Scully, can I use your bathroom" "Sure Mulder its right down the hall"
Her bathroom was matching the rest of the apartment in a Scully-like way. It had matching colors, fluffy towels, and nice smelling bottles of stuff on the shelves. It just made me feel at home. I splashed some water on my face and gave myself the usual date talk. You're going to screw this up if you keep acting like a nervous teenager. She's the only good thing left in your life, she means the world to you and you know it. So go out there, act normal and give it your best shot.
SCULLY POV
Dana Scully's Apartment 8:45pm
"Hey Mulder, how about we order some food now? I've got a menu for Chinese, Thai, Italian, American Pizza or whatever really" not that I can even stomach food just now, but I couldn't invite him round then not eat anything
"Whatever is good for you Scully, how about pizza?" I had to laugh at this "Mulder, do you live on Pizza? It's a wonder you stay looking so good" crap, do you think he noticed I said that… "Anyway, Pizza is good for me too. I'll call up and order if you want to start the movie and get the drinks?" "Ok I'm on it." His voice went gentle for a moment "do you really think I'm good looking?"
I fumbled with my words. Come on Dana, this is your chance to show it. Just say what you feel and don't try to defend it. "Yeah Mulder I do. I've always thought you were good looking, but much more than that. Fox…" I saw him raise his eyebrows at the use of his first name; he must think I'm crazy. "…The real reason I invited you over here tonight wasn't because we don't see enough of each other outside of work, hell we probably see more of one another than any other pair of agents. I have something I need to confess to you, it's been following me for so long now and it's time I let you know."
"Scully before you say anything else" I could see the hurt in his eyes; he obviously doesn't realize what I was going to say "Since you walked into my basement office 5 years ago, I have been changed not only as an FBI agent but as a person. I was the laughing stock of my colleagues and had no friends outside of the office. Since I met you, I've come to realize that there is more to life than just work and since that first case together when you stood in your underwear in front of me, full of trust. I knew we had something, then after the cancer and Emily and everything else that happened, it just makes the feelings stronger, I want to, I need to protect you. You're a beautiful woman Dana, on the outside but also on the inside and that's why I cannot imagine myself ever being with anyone but you. I love you; you're my best friend and my touchstone and I understand if you don't feel the same."
Tears welled up in my eyes and I couldn't take it anymore "Dammit Mulder I love you!" and I almost threw myself at him. He slipped his arms around my waist and I just leant on his shoulder, almost crying with the emotion of letting it all go. "Dana, it's okay, don't cry, I…" but I cut him off. What has got into me tonight? This sudden bravery. I pressed my lips firmly against his and prayed to any god that was out there for him to return my kiss. He started back softly at first, his soft lips were so gentle against mine but then he deepened it and held my head passionately whilst his tongue begged entrance to my mouth. I granted access and heard him moan into the kiss. As he pulled me closer there was a wave of heat between my thighs and I felt the semi hardness of him against me.
MULDER POV
Dana Scully's Apartment 10pm
We had eventually moved our kiss to the couch where we made out. The food arrived just in time as I felt my self-control deteriorating with each soft moan she gave. I pulled away from her to pay the delivery boy and we ate in a comfortable silence. She was cuddled up in my arms and I watched her contently until her breathing became steadier and I was sure she had fallen asleep. I couldn't leave her now, she might wake up and worry so I grabbed a throw from the back of the couch and eased her down so she would be more comfortable. I placed it over her and let her sleep in my arms.
