Heardy'allwanted some more of this *slides shades on*

It has been so long since I wrote anything like this and I'm very unsure about it. Took me so long to write and had some help with wording along the way, so thank you to those who took the time to help and encourage me!

Scully blinked sleepily in the dark room, revelling in the warmth coming from the body behind her. She was reluctant, but slipped out of bed to relieve her pleading bladder. She was too tired to think, but as she returned to bed she smiled shyly to herself before crawling back in and curling up against Monica, who had shifted onto her stomach.

Dana wondered if the butterflies would ever go away as she rested her head on the brunettes shoulder blade and closed her eyes, drifting back into a restful sleep.

She awoke hours later to the smell of eggs, bacon, and chocolate chip pancakes. The redhead slowly made her way to the kitchen as she rubbed at her tired eyes and offered a smile to the woman flipping a pancake.

"I like to treat myself to a nice breakfast the day after drinking, helps bring back my energy," Monica explained.

"It smells so good. I can't remember the last time I got to sit down and enjoy the morning. Probably the last time I stayed at my mother's." Monica fixed her a plate and slid it across to her on the counter as Scully took a seat.

"You need to enjoy yourself more often, Dana," she said as she grabbed her own plate, situating herself beside the redhead. "Sadly we don't have the day off, but at least it's Friday."

After breakfast, Scully grabbed her clothes and scrunched her nose up at the thought of having to put on the stiffer clothing from the night before. Contemplating her options, she shoved her clothes under her arm and grabbed her heeled boots before asking to borrow a pair of flip flops or something. "And, do you mind if I wear your pajamas home? I really don't want to put on the clothes I wore last night," she looked up at the brunette, slightly pleading.

Monica blushed at the thought of Scully wearing her clothes for longer than necessary, but a smirk quickly broke out on her face. "Sure, I don't mind." She moved closer to the shorter woman, her smirk turning sweeter. "I'll see you at work?"

Scully nodded, unsure of how to go from here. She wanted to initiate something, but was too nervous, not sure if everything that happened last night was to continue. Unbeknownst to her, Monica was having the same thoughts.

"Well… see you later," Dana said quickly and hugged the brunette for slightly longer than necessary before turning and hurrying away. Monica bit her lip amusedly and watched the redhead practically run down the hall in her baggy clothes. She needed to make sure that Dana wanted the same as she did: a chance at an actual relationship.

Later, at the Hoover Building, Monica walked out of the elevator and immediately noticed a different climate. Men glanced her way, smirking and murmuring to their colleagues; she even got a few winks.

"Heard you had some fun last night, Agent Reyes," someone she barely even knew said in passing, causing the brunette to furrow her brows.

"Always thought it was odd that the little minx was never involved with any of us guys." Monica heard and her blood began to boil.

Making her way down to the basement office she barged in, not looking her happy self.

"Whoa, somethin' wrong, Monica?" Doggett stood at the ready.

"What did you tell people about Scully and me last night?" she demanded.

"I'm not sure what you're talkin' about, but I didn't say anything about you two. I would never spread personal business around. It must have been that Henderson kid they sent with me last night. I'm sorry he couldn't keep his big mouth closed." Monica glowered and was ready to go chew the agent out. Instead, Doggett suggested they go complain to Skinner and explain how this gossiping isn't appropriate talk in the work environment.

The two made their way up to the A.D.'s office, Monica hoping to resolve this issue before it made its way to Dana.

They stopped in their tracks when they saw the redhead exiting Skinner's office. Head low, her face scrunched in thought as she propelled herself down the hallway.

"Dana?" The brunette caught her attention.

"Oh, hey," a smile automatically forming on her face, forgetting what was troubling her before. "Um, I'm going home, Skinner said I wasn't needed for the day."

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm caught up in my paperwork and there's just no need for me to be here when I could be preparing for my next autopsy instruction," she explained. "I'll see you two later." And with that she was gone. Leaving Monica questioning last night once again.

The day dragged on, Monica bored to death with the stack of paperwork she let pile up. She eventually left at four and headed home, her mind once again on the petite redhead. She was worried about what she'd heard and how it might have affected her feelings.

At home, she cooked dinner silently, deciding lasagna would be good so she'd have leftovers for the weekend. The brunette mindlessly layered the lasagna as she worried about Dana, wishing they could get closer and really start something. But, even if Scully changed her mind it would be okay; at least she could cherish the kiss they had shared.

Monica put the dish in the oven before hearing a soft knock at her door. She padded over and looked through the peephole and smiled to herself, opening the door to her favorite person.

"Hi," Monica smiled cheerily down at her and then furrowed her brows at Dana's quick panting, making her look like she just ran a mile.

Scully pulled Monica down to her level and kissed her briefly, pulling away before Monica could even respond. "I don't know what I'm doing," she whispered, still panting from her nerves. "Have you… done this before?" Monica, realizing she had nothing to worry about, smiled in amusement.

"Yes, Dana. I have done this before."

"Show me…" the redhead said in response, causing Monica's whole demeanor to change. She grabbed Scully's face and kissed her deeply, pulling her inside as she did so. She knocked the door closed with her foot before backing the smaller woman against it, parting her lips and introducing their tongues once again. Monica then pulled her lips away to kiss lightly down Dana's jaw, kissing her neck, causing her to sigh which only encouraged the brunette more.

She grabbed at Scully's hips, grinding against her while the other woman gripped her cheeks to pull her back into a passionate kiss, breathing heavily each time they parted. Her hands slipped into the waistband of Dana's pants, gently tugging them, letting them slip down her smooth, silky legs to reveal simple, peach colored underwear. Not wasting any time, she lifted the redheads shirt off and found a lacy bra that was a midnight blue, complimenting her pale skin.

"Are you okay with this?" Monica asked, the other woman frantically nodded in approval. Locking eyes with Scully, the brunette slowly lowered herself, kneeling on the floor before the woman she so desperately wanted, helping her remove her feet from the confines of the pants legs. Her eyes roamed Dana's covered skin, seeing the small wet patch that had formed on the fabric and quirked her lips in a small smile at the effect she was causing.

"How about this?" She leaned forward against her parted legs and smelled Dana's arousal, looking back up after hearing her sharp gasp and saw her beet red skin. "Too much?" She asked with a lopsided smirk.

"Very… intimate," Scully mumbled shyly.

"We can stop if you want," Reyes, always caring, offered, but was silenced by Scully's quick shake of her head.

"I promise that I want this. It's just different and scary, but also exciting…" They both grinned.

To Scully's slight disappointment, though, when Monica began kissing her skin, she traveled back up her body and into her normal standing position, towering over her. The brunette noticed her confusion and squeezed her hip in reassurance.

"Don't worry, I will resume my exploration of your amazing, little body, but I refuse to have your first time being with a woman end in a mediocre fuck against my front door." And, with that, she grabbed Dana by the back of her thighs and lifted her. She yelped in surprised and instinctively latched onto Monica, wrapping her legs tightly around her waist.

Scully couldn't stop smiling at the progress they were making in their new relationship, but she was worried about how this was going to play out. Well, she knew how, but she wasn't exactly sure how to please another woman, the technique of it all. What if she didn't satisfy Monica? What if she ended up embarrassing herself or wasn't as good as Monica had hoped? Just one concern after the next.

Monica, noticing the slight change in the redheads expression, quickly kissed her before she could continue with her worrying thoughts. Dana melted back into the kiss, her hands going to Monica's cheeks to keep her there. Scully kissed her languidly, deepening the kiss and showed herself that she really did trust this woman, that she didn't need to worry about anything because Monica would be happy just being with her. She poured her heart into the kiss, effectively causing the brunette to pause in her forward motion to take in the intensity of the emotions she was being showered with. She suddenly felt so much love for the woman in her arms and could no longer keep herself from moaning.

They finally broke the kiss, taking deep breaths to calm their racing hearts.

"This is definitely what I want," Scully said, repeating what she had whispered before falling asleep the night before, as she was carried back into that same room.

Monica gently laid the redhead on her bed before removing her own shirt and sweatpants, keeping her underwear and bra on. She then crawled up the bed, trailing one hand up the warm skin of Dana's calf… thigh… hip, and finally to her side where she drew soft patterns with the pads of her fingers. She could feel Dana trembling with excitement and the goosebumps she created as she kissed her softly and moved her hand over her belly. Monica's hand traveled down and fingered the waistband of Scully's cotton panties as she pulled away and pecked her lips before following her hand.

As she kissed her way down the redheads abdomen, her quick breaths rose her up and down, causing Monica to glance at her with every movement she made to make sure that she was okay. Finally, the brunette hooked her fingers in the elastic band and pulled them down her legs, revealing soft, dark red curls and Monica grinned at the knowledge that the carpet did in fact match the drapes.

Once Dana was completely free of the garment Monica positioned herself between her legs, spreading them wider so she could have easier access. She could hear the hitch in Dana's ragged breath, could smell the arousal seeping from her most intimate territory. Dipping her fingers between her folds she could measure how much she was affecting the woman laid out before her. She hadn't done anything yet, but still Dana mewled.

That was the loveliest sound Monica had ever heard and decided she wanted to hear it again and again. She wasted no more time and dipped her head to Dana's opening, spreading her lips with her tongue. Dana arched herself into the touch, her hand immediately going to Monica's head as the other fisted in the plush comforter covering the bed.

Monica plunged her tongue into the tight core between Dana's legs, her thumb teasing her clit with slow, delicate circles. She pulled one milky white leg over her shoulder and darted her tongue back in, gathering her arousal before slowly ascending with the flat of her tongue as she looked up to see Scully looking back down at her. Her eyes were wide, face flushed with apprehension and need as she observed the sight before her, felt the mouth between her thighs. She couldn't get herself to lose eye contact with the brunette and this only heightened the pleasure she was feeling.

The redhead looked on with her jaw dropped as Monica stopped at her clit and wrapped her soft lips around it, enjoying the flashing of emotions on Dana's face. Dana had her hand fisted in the other woman's hair, now gasping as she let out a loud moan and involuntarily thrusted her hips. Losing all shyness in her desperation for release, she began to beg, "Please," she moaned again. "Please, Monica."

Monica smiled against her sticky skin, understanding her need for release, and happily complied. She found her entrance with her fingers and gently slid one in, giving a few good pumps before inserting another, stretching her tight walls and causing Dana to throw her head back in pleasure.

She trailed kisses back up her body, snaking her hand under Dana's back to unhook her bra as she worked her over with her fingers. Once the whining redhead managed to take off the last bit of clothing covering her creamy skin Monica took a peaked nipple into her mouth. Scully gasped and jerked her hips once again, feeling her orgasm build. Monica bit gently and this caused an even more wonderful sound to come from her sweet lips.

Needing to feel those lips on her own, the brunette moved up and kissed her, swallowing the now more frequent moans that were getting louder and louder. She dared to add a third finger and found that Dana couldn't handle anymore friction without bursting. She frantically circled her clit with more pressure and bit hard on Dana's lip, feeling her walls clamp around her fingers. Monica pulled away to look at her. Her orgasm was beautiful; her face red, right eyebrow raised, and eyes closed. She slowed her fingers as she rode out her high, gently slipping them from her and tasting her salty yet slightly sweet juices.

Slowly, Dana opened her eyes and looked at the woman hovering above her. She blushed deeper, embarrassed by what just transpired, but not regretting it one bit. Smiling shyly she sat up, making Monica sit back on her feet. Scully reached out for her, her hand brushing through her dark hair before pulling her forward in a kiss. She took her time, knowing that she was in control of the action, and relayed all of her emotions of love. They both felt content for the first time in a long time.

The gentle kiss ended and they looked at each other, breathing heavily. Monica then quickly started to speak her feelings on their current position, "I know this is new for you, and if you're not ready to reciprocate I am completely fine with that. I don't expect you to and I do kind of prefer to perform," she trailed off and smiled assuredly, adding a wink just to see the beautiful redhead blush. Her beautiful redhead. That new thought caused her to smile wider. She just wanted to please her and didn't want her doing anything she wasn't ready for, and she didn't seem ready to do it, judging by her nervous movements. Deciding for her, Monica pulled her from under her arms up and on top of her. "This is heaven just getting to feel you with me. I thought you were upset about the rumors so I was actually surprised to see you."

Scully smiled. "After all the years working with Mulder, I seem to have built up an immunity to people talking about my life."

"That's… terrible, but I guess there's a silver lining to it. I'm glad I don't have to worry about you, but you might want to watch out for me punching someone the next time they say something rude about you," Monica's face showed slight anger, causing Scully to squeeze her in their embrace.

A few silent, peaceful moments passed and Scully tried not to drift into sleep as she noticed a sudden smell like something was burning.

"Monica… were you cooking something?" She mumbled.

The brunette sat up quickly, Dana being knocked off of her chest in the motion and watched as the half naked woman ran out of the room.

"My lasagna!"

Scully chuckled as she stood from the bed and pulled on her panties and Monica's forgotten shirt. Making her way into the kitchen, she found the oven wide open, releasing the smell of burnt pasta, and Monica poking at the lasagna on the counter.

"It might be okay… You wanna stay for dinner?"

A/N:

Hope that was decent! Would love to hear your thoughts!

I'm very slowly working on a Scully/Reyes high school/college AU, so be on the lookout for that... in some months. As well as an MSR high school AU. Can you guess what my favorite alternate universe is?

I also have a few ideas to continue What Whales Say, but, as always, if anyone has something they'd like to see written, I'm open to ideas!
