Mulder opened his eyes and sighed. He sat up and tore the sheet off his body. Mulder rubbed his eyes to get the sleep out of his eyes. He walked to the bathroom and took a shower then dressed himself in black jeans and a gray t-shirt. Trodding to the living room, he picked up the phone and proceeded to call Scully.
"What's up Mulder." Scully answered when she picked up. "Hey Scully, Did I wake you?" "No, no. But I hope you're not calling me because you got a lead on something. It's my free day." "No, actually I'm calling to ask if you wanted to go out for breakfast." Mulder answered combing his hair in front of his mirror. "Oh, sure. Where?" "I was thinking of going to the diner on 6th avenue." "Okay, I'll meet you there then." Scully added. "You already dressed?" Mulder asked. "No, I'm going to take a shower." "Scully, what are you wearing?" Mulder asked smirking. "Bye Mulder. I'll see you there." Scully responded. Mulder hung up and chuckled to himself.
Mulder drove to the diner and sat in one of the booths. "Ready to order?" A waitress asked him. "In a few minutes. I'm waiting for someone." he answered. The waitress nodded and walked to another table. Mulder opened the menu and looked at the options. A few minutes later when he was playing with the spice shakers, someone tapped on the glass from the outside. He looked up to see Scully smile at him and walk to the entry of the diner. She walked to the booth where Mulder was waiting for her.
"Hi." Scully slipped inside the booth across Mulder. "Ready to order?" Mulder asked her. He signaled to the waitress to order their breakfast. They ordered and they talked while they waited for their food. "I knew you couldn't go a day without seeing me." Scully teased. Mulder chuckled at her. Their food arrived and they started eating. Mulder feasted on his scrambled eggs with bacon and toasts. While Scully ate oatmeal with blueberries.
"I was starving." Mulder wiped his mouth and hands with a napkin and took the last drink of his coffee. He called the waitress and asked for the check. "I really liked the oatmeal." Scully reached for her side purse. "Scully, no." He placed his hand over hers. "It's on me." He took a few bills out of his wallet and paid the waitress. "Keep the change." They stood up and walked out of the diner. "Meet me at my apartment?" Mulder asked taking the keys from his pocket. "Yeah." "I'll see you in a few then." Both of them drove off to Mulder's apartment. They parked side by side and walked together to his apartment. There they lounged on his couch and started talking.
"Skinner has a thing for you. You just don't see it." Mulder argued. Scully was about to reply back when Candy started moaning. Scully pointed at the wall connecting them. They listened carefully to see if they heard a second voice. "I only hear her." Scully told Mulder. "I've never seen anyone enter her apartment." Mulder added. The moaning was intense. Scully had her cheeks tinted pink and Mulder had placed a pillow on top of his lap. "Why don't I turn the TV on?" Mulder asked quickly. Scully nodded and handed him the remote. He turned up the volume to try to block the moans coming from his lascivious neighbor.
A week later
Scully walked out of the elevator from Mulder's building. She made her way to Mulder's apartment. She was going to unlock Mulder's door with her key when Candy opened her door. "Hi." Candy greeted her. "Hi." Scully smiled at her. "How's Fox?" She asked about his recent injury. Their suspect had hit him on the head with a steel pipe. "He's getting better. He's not so dizzy anymore when he stands up. And his vision is back to normal." Scully answered. "I have to ask...Are you two a thing?" Candy asked. "It's kinda complicated..." Scully answered amused. "I'm going to check on Mulder. I'll see you around." Candy nodded.
Scully inserted her key on Mulder's door when the door was pulled. Mulder was standing in front of her in his underwear. "Mulder, what are you doing up?" She stepped inside his apartment and closed the door behind her. He sat on the couch. "I need you to stay in bed Mulder." Scully placed her arms akimbo. "I'm alright Scully." He rubbed his eyes. "You sure?" She checked his head. She passed a light in front of his eyes to check on his pupils. "Headaches?" Scully asked moving his hair out of his forehead. "No, no." Scully sat beside him. He leaned his head on the couch and looked at her. "You hungry?" Scully asked. "Yeah." she stood up and walked to the kitchen, Mulder followed there. He sat on the table so he could watch her. Scully started taking things out of the fridge. "What do you think of an omelet? I make it even better than yours." Scully looked in his direction, he was asleep on the table. The effect from the pill still on his system. Scully sighed and smiled. She started putting the ingredients in the pan. When it was done, she brought it to him. She nudged him and he looked at her.
"Eat up." She handed him a fork. After he ate, he went to bed. Scully's orders. "I'm going to be right here," She took her shoes off and sat on the empty side of the bed beside him. "checking on you." Mulder smiled at her and nodded. He scooted closer to her and fell asleep.
