Mulder, Scully, Dogget and Reyes realised it was too late they were in the Big Brother house. It was a colleague special. It was their first day the night before had been the introduction night. They couldn't believe Kersh had done this to do them. Monica seemed to be enjoying the experience. She took what Kersh said on board.
"The x-files is a stressful assignment it'll give you chance to relax, the FBI needs some good publicity." He had said. Scully hated the idea she even told Monica. It would give them both a chance to get closer to the guys but Scully knew Mulder inside out she just needed to make a move, a real move. Not like the one night that ended in pregnancy. They started to share the same bed he even moved his fish into her apartment but it just wasn't moving forward. They'd been in a known sexual relationship for nine years; of course it would take time. She kept telling herself. She was one of the first up besides Mulder he could never sleep in a strange environment.
"Morning Mulder." She said still wearing her silk pyjamas.
"Morning Scully." He stuck out his lips for a kiss in a jokey way so she kissed him and shook her head. She decided to help him cook but he pulled her in for a cuddle.
"Mulder?" She asked.
"We're away from the bureau now we can be like this." She turned round to face him.
"Mulder we're being watched by millions of people each day." She looked into his hazel eyes.
"Scully lighten up." He said gripping her shoulders. She smiled and walked towards the shower blocks.
"Hey Scully want someone to scrub your back might increase viewers?" He said laughing boyishly.
