"Scully…I don't know what to tell you, I mean you looked at her scans. The girl's brain is clearly misfiring with something to do with human emotional response." Mulder stabbed the chicken breast at his dinner plate, held it up on his fork and bit at it.
"Mulder…can't you eat like a normal human being?" she scoffed and continued with the conversation. "…and yes, I know, I looked at her scans and I can't even began to understand what I'm supposed to do for her."
"You know I venture outside normal human behavior Scully. Look the girl is fascinating and obviously needs to have her brain 'stimulated' in some way. I'm just trying to help." His mouth was full as he talked, out of pure excitement.
"Mulder, are you still fully in 'this' relationship because I'll just toss you to her if that's what you want." Scully furrowed her brow and continued eating. Maybe a stab of jealousy got to her, which she wouldn't normally have a problem with but that this girl shared so many like qualities with herself she was a tad suspicious.
"Scully, you know me better than that, I'm ninety five percent all yours." He smiled at her.
"Do I even have to guess what the other five percent goes to…?"
"I have to save a little bit of love for myself, Scully, I mean I am pretty incredible once in awhile." He grinned as he got her to laugh at him for the first time this evening.
"Come on, Scully, I know you have a hard time thinking outside the box but you noted the unusual activity when she was talking to me and talking about her ex." He was silent for a moment, eating and pondering. "What if we were to find this Jeremy fellow? Her ex-boyfriend? Maybe we'll get to see the magic happen." He wiggled his brows at her.
"Yes, I'm sure that will go over well at the hospital, 'here's your ex-boyfriend who stimulated every fiber of your body, can we watch…?' I mean come on Mulder, not only incredibly awkward for all parties involved but I'd probably be out of a job." Rising from the table, Scully grabbed both her and Mulder's plates and made her way to the sink, rinsing them and throwing them in the dishwasher. "I just can't justify opening her up to stimulate her in that way, I need more evidence, more brain activity. Why don't we try a series of psychology treatments with you and see what happens to her tumor? Maybe over a period of time something will change and we'll not need to open her up at all." Scully sighed as she looked out the back window, in deep thought. Coming up behind her, Mulder enveloped his arms around her waist and she sank back into him, sighing contentedly.
"Care to let me 'stimulate' your brain, Scully?" He nuzzled into neck, kissing lightly. Her head rolling back further
"You could probably stimulate more than that," she laughed and he chuckled against her neck. "You know maybe sex, will enlighten my mind and umm—"Mulder continued nipping at the base of her neck, rendering her mostly speechless. "…bed." Her only statement and he understood fully, there was to be no more discussions of work tonight, it was all about them.
