Mulder looked at his watch on the arm that wasn't broken, Scully was usually on time, but she was already ten minutes
late. Normally he was the one running late, but this was new. It was snowing lightly, people walking fully dressed in winter
attire. He sat on the chair in front of one of the washing machines at the Super Suds Laundrymat in Georgetown, his heavy
bags of dirty laundry taking up two chairs this time instead of one. He never really realized how much clothes he actually
owned until he actually had to wash them. He hated washing his dirty laundry, it seemed so pointless if he was just going
to dirty them up again. Sometimes he actually wished he could live back at home with his mom again, free laundry service.
Scully walked up to the front door, heaving a heavy bag of dirty laundry across her back, and a bag of Subway Sandwiches
in her free hand. Mulder looked up when he heard the bell on the door ring, and walked over to her to help. She always
had less laundry to do than him. He assumed that Scully, being the tidy, more responsible partner did her laundry more
frequently than him, seeing as he did his once every other week. "You're late," Mulder grabed her bag of Subway.
"Shut-up Mulder, I get you a nice Subway lunch, and offer to help you to do your laundry in your weakened condition, and
this is how you thank me?" She says, smiling up at him. He grabs the bag of Subway with his left arm and leads her over to
his piles of laundry. Scully swung her bag of laundry onto an open chair, and stared at the what seemed to be endless
amount of dirty laundry Mulder had stacked on two whole chairs. He stared at her beautiful, shocked expression, and their
eyes met. She turned away and began opening her laundry bag. There was a feeling of uneasy-ness between them, and
they could both sense it, and they both knew why, but neither one of them wanted to be the one to bring up the topic first.
