Later that night
Mulder was lying on the couch dozing off to the last minutes of the movie. Scully had already fallen asleep, laying across Mulder's couch with her head resting in a pillow placed in his lap. He gazed down at Scully who was shifting positions from her side to her back. Even though his butt was falling asleep from sitting for so long, he hated to wake Scully. Moving some stray hairs from her face, Mulder grabbed the blanket from behind the sofa and through it over Scully. Taking the other pillow from under his arm, he laid back, making sure not to wake Scully. Minutes later both Mulder and Scully were asleep.
Sometime later, Mulder was awoken by a loud thump and the sudden awareness that he could move his legs. To tired to get up, he figured that is was Scully knocking over something to use the bathroom or something. Stretching out on the couch, he tired to fall back to sleep.
Scully however, had fallen off the couch and was gathering her senses. Sitting up after making sure that Mulder was sleeping she made her way to the bathroom. She cursed herself for having fallen off the couch. She's had been sure that Mulder heard it and would tease her about it but he hadn't. She made the decision that she didn't want to get into Mulder's bed without Mulder, so she made her way quietly back into the living room.
"Mulder, move over." she whispered. Mulder scooted his body down and wiggled into the nook of the sofa.
Scully stood there for a few moments trying to decide what to do next. Mulder made plenty of room for her; the only thing left now was how to lie down. Giving into her tired body, she sat down and slowly reclined next to Mulder's body. Her back was to Mulder's front. Scully was surprised when Mulder's arms snaked their way around her waist. She wondered if he did it on purpose or unconsciously. Either way is didn't matter because it felt wonderful. She slowly relaxed into the feeling of his arms around her. It comforted her somehow.
"Mulder are you awake?" She whispered
"No, Scully just give me five more minutes." Mulder answered groggily while pressing his face into the back of her neck.
This caused Scully to smile. She had forgotten about how good it felt to just be held. She laid there for a dew minutes listening to Mulder's breathing. His breath whispered against her neck causing goose bumps to run over her skin. It was full contentment to her, to know that for once they weren't spending the night running around some town 600 miles away from home. Trying to catch whomever it was that had them out there. For once she could just lay her head down and rest peacefully. She was beginning to like Mulder's dare. The only thing left was the possibility of the bet becoming more than what she or Mulder originally agreed on. Although, Mulder did say that physical contact was optional.
Picking the blanket off the floor and throwing it over the two of them, Scully closed her eyes and tried to go back to sleep. Mulder on the other hand wasn't really in a deep sleep yet, feeling all the movement that Scully was causing and with her being that close to him caused him to wake up entirely. He pushed the urged back and tired to just concentrate on their closeness. He pulled her in closer rubbing his nose into her neck this caused Scully to moan a little bit. Mulder was surprised, noticing that Scully was enjoying it so he continued. Suddenly Scully shifted and turned and was not face to face with him. Pressing her face into the crook of his neck. He began caressing her back softly lulling her to sleep. He placed kisses on her forehead wrapping his arm around her once more before whispering goodnight. Mulder and both Scully fell asleep hoping that the day will come where his could happen every night and not because of some outlandish bet.
This is short I know…..smooches.
