Mulder pulled a piece off his pretzel, and popped it into his mouth. The mall wasn't crowded, but had enough people for him to do what he had come to do. He seemed hyper sensitive to the happy couples that strolled along hand in hand. Diana had always said that it was stupid; in result, they didn't do the PDA stuff. He was fine with it, but sometimes he just wanted to show off the person he was dating. Make it known who she belonged to. Diana didn't go for that, she didn't even let him kiss her quickly in public.

Mulder let his eyes skim the cafeteria, passing over a couple who were lip-locked. But the fiery red hair made his eyes go back; Scully's was that color. What he say made him drop his pretzel. There stood Scully, her lips attached firmly to no other than Walter Skinner. A senior basketball player at their school. Mulder had always thought of him as a nice guy, but now he wanted to punch him where the sun don't shine. Punch him for touching his best friend in a way that wasn't exactly appropriate.

Apparently Walter Skinner was the mystery guy. The one Mulder had decided he was going to figure out. But now he no longer had to do that, the evidence was right in front of his face. The only issue was he didn't know what to do. Was he supposed to approach her, or just walk away? He knew if he just walked away he could never look at Scully again.

That was not something he wanted.

Five minutes earlier,

"Thanks for the date." Scully said looking at her new friend. Walter skinner was very attractive, but he wasn't someone she could see herself with. Walter seemed to realize that to, but he still treated her to a fun date. And that she was thankful for.

"Anytime Dana." His smile showed his perfect white teeth. She knew he would find a girl soon, someone who would love him. She couldn't provide that, at least not now.

Scully ran her eyes over the cafeteria looking for what she wanted to eat, when she caught someone familiar in the corner of her eye. Mulder was sitting on a bench, surveying the people that passed him. She felt a slight anger at him sitting there alone. But she realized that Diana must be close by, he had said he was spending the night with her.

Without thinking she pulled Walter close, and connected their lips together. She didn't know what she was doing until she felt him respond. He pulled her closer, and placed his hands on her hips. He wasn't a bad kisser, in fact he was pretty good. Better than a lot of people she had kissed in the past. He wasn't over abrasive, and was patient with her.

When she'd finally relaxed into the kiss, someone cleared their throat. They broke apart and both turned to look at the cause of the kiss. Fox Mulder.

"Oh, hey Mulder." Walter said casually, he didn't even seemed a little fazed. His hand was making small circles in her back.

Mulder looked them over, "Walter, can I talk to Scu-Dana alone for a second?" He asked smiling. Scully wasn't sure where he was headed with this.

"Sure."

Once they were alone Scully spoke up, "I thought you were with Diana." she said coldly.

"I was. But she canceled on me." He reached for her hand subconsciously but she pulled it away. He wasn't getting away with ruining her night that easily. "I called but Charlie told me you were out." He added quickly.

"No excuse." She said folding her arms across her chest. This was going to be harder than he thought. Maybe approaching her hadn't been the best idea. He should have lied to her.

Mulder sighed, "Sorry, enjoy your night." With a puff he watched Scully walk away. Walter threw his arm over her shoulders once she approached, making her smile at something. He felt jealously but reminded himself that he had a girlfriend.

And that's girlfriends name wasn't Dana Scully.

You must hate me know.
Oh wait. It gets better.
Some fighting, maybe a little something else.
