Small potatoes AU

Disclaimer: I own nothing, if I did I would be a very happy person, and would have gotten Mulder and Scully together along time ago... I have not come across a fic like this but if anyone has done one similar, I'm sorry.

Summary: just a little AU fic set after small potatoes, if Mulder questioned Scully about her almost kissing van-blundht.

xXx

Mulder and Scully walked awkwardly down the corridor, leaving the prison where Van-Blundht was incarcerated. Mulder wanted to ask Scully something but had not come up with the courage yet, he was unsure of the answer he might receive.

With a sigh he looked wistfully at Scully who was a few paces ahead of him, he exhaled slowly and thought that it was now or never...

"Scully, can I... ask you something?" he asked hesitantly.

"Uh, sure Mulder"

"Did you think Van-Blundht was me?

"What?! Of course not Mulder!

Scully turned away so that Mulder wouldn't see the embarrassment slowly turning her cheeks a rosy colour pink.

"You were about to kiss him..." he pointed out almost accusingly

"Mulder, how long have we known each other? I think I would know, I was just playing along, you know, giving him, uh, a false sense of security to give me a chance to get some cuffs on him...."

"3 years, 7 months and ten days, gimme a couple of minutes and I'll tally up the hours as well."

Scully turned around, with her mouth slightly ajar, in shock and amazement because he knew exactly how long they had been partners.

"You wanna know what I think."

"No Mulder, I don't wanna know."

"I think, that you thought that it was really me, and you were gunna kiss me" he suggested jokingly through a lop-sided boyish grin.

Scully turned away because her cheeks were crimsons with the truth

"I mean, if you knew, and was going to apprehend Van-Blundht, why would you have consumed so much alcohol, it could have impaired your judgement, huh?

Scully, still turned away from Mulder, too embarrassed to confront him.

"Mulder, leave..."

She did not get to finish her last words as she was cut off by Mulder who grabbed her arm and swung her round to face him and passionately kissed her fully on her cupids bow lips. Scully's hand went to push him away but she decided against that idea and started to kiss him back with as much vigour, her hand running through Mulder's soft chestnut hair.
