A/N: Sorry if this is written in a different style than the first two chapters. Also that it took so long to update.


She started to let her eyes wander over him and for the first time that day, noticed his tie. She isn't sure how she managed to go the whole day so far without noticing it; after all it is one of the most horrendous ties she's ever seen him wear. She knows he wears them on purpose now, after she expressed her fondness of them one night. She wanted to stay annoyed, really, but the hot flush that spread over her at the memory of all the 'tie nights' quickly stifled the annoyance. Her pulse thrummed through her head, two nails matched the beat on the arm of her chair.

Mulder looked over at Scully when she started tapping her nails; noticing the gentle bite on her lower lip and far off look in her eyes he leaned back in his chair with a small smirk, crossed his arms he settled back to watch her, as he tried to figure out where her mind had gone.

She slowly became aware that he was watching her, the tapping of her fingers trailing off. Blinking a few times she focused her gaze directly into Mulder's eyes, a low chuckle escaping her upon seeing his amused confusion. He opened his mouth, eyebrows gently scrunching as his mouth half closed. She raised an eyebrow and pursed her lips, head tilting forwards in invitation to continue his thought. He lazily raised his hand, vaguely pointed towards her chest. She looked down, noticing the flush that had spread across her chest and sighed as she felt it spread up to her face. Hesitantly she raised her eyes back up; Mulder had a small smile on his face.

"I know that flush." He states, not trying to contain his amusement.

"No, Mulder." She responds with a slight shake of her head.

"Oh yes, Scully, I know that flush… I know it well." Mulder gets up and slowly circles around the back of Scully's chair, resting against the edge of the desk. She turns herself to face him; head tilted back her eyes rested on his momentarily before trailing back down to his tie. "Now if only I could ascertain what the cause is." He muttered, drumming his fingers against the edge of the desk. Her eyes snapped back up to his face when he started speaking, his look was unfocused as he went back into his mind to figure it out.

She wiggled uncomfortably in the chair, much too aware of her aroused state to be comfortable. As her eyes once again settled on his tie; her right hand came up to fiddle with her lapel, thumb softly stroking the edge. His attention was drawn back to Scully at her continued silence, eyes widening with realization as he noticed her foot swaying side to side, and her hand fiddling with her lapel, eyes glued to his tie.

"Aha!" Mulder exclaimed breaking the silence, causing Scully to jump.

"What?" She met his look with a bit of concern. Eyebrow arching higher noticing his gleeful look. He responds by pointing to her hand. She glanced down, "crap." She sighed, her damn hand betrayed her. Stilling her hand she brought both to rest palm down on her thighs, nails almost digging into the material of her skirt.

"The tie, I forgot I had this one on." He moved close to her, brought one arm to rest on the back of the chair, the other across her lap, holding both her hands in his one. Both getting lost in each other's eyes, the breaths blowing across their faces almost coming out in pants.

Scully made a small noise in the back of her throat, brought her hands up and quickly unfastened his tie. She lifted it over his head and tossed it onto the desk, Mulder moved down to kneel between her legs. Scully tangles her hands in his hair, pulling his head to her mouth. He slipped on arm around her, pulling her against him. Scully slowly slipped down the chair, her skirt bunching as her legs spread to straddle Mulder as he moved back to rest against his calves. Tightness of her skirt preventing it from rising much Scully's knees only managed to clasp Mulder's hips as she started slowly falling backwards, bringing Mulder with her.
"Ouch!" She cried out as she back from Mulder. Her body jerking slightly in surprise as her head collided with the leg of the chair. Mulder lifted himself to his elbows and saw her rubbing her head.

"Last time you said that while we were making out… please tell me there are no bees involved."
"Nope. Just this damn chair."

"Damn chair indeed." Mulder agreed brushing his lips across hers as he slapped his hand down on the seat and pushed the chair away, he lowered himself back on top of her. Just as his eyes began to close he noticed movement on the ground near their heads. "Hold on," he grumbled out, raising back up, Scully's exasperated breath puffing out against his neck. "Scully… look." He lifted higher so she could turn herself slightly.

"Oh my god! … Are you fucking kidding me?!" Scully let out an exasperated shout. Pushing Mulder off, she jumped up, put the one shoe that had come off back on and stomped on the moth. "I have had enough with all these fucking creatures killing the mood." She huffed, gathering herself together, with a final tug on her blazer she turned to Mulder, "come on, Mulder, we're going back to my place."

"Yes mam." He grinned, getting up as fast as he could from the crouched position he took when she pushed him away. Scully rolled her eyes, brushing a strand of hair out of her face.

"First bees, now moths, what next?" she mumbled. Huffing in frustration she held out her hand. Shaking his head as a response to her rhetorical question, he shut his briefcase and clasped her hand.

"Wait!" His smile turned into a look of questioning concern when she stopped right before they left the office, "Did you get your tie?" his grin returned as she added this bit of information, he let go of her hand, held up a finger, turned and retrieved his tie from his desk. Joining her again at the door she held her hand out once more and grinned a Cheshire cat grin when he placed the tie in her open palm. He then threaded his fingers between hers, tie sliding between their palms. He locked the office turned to face her again, the goofy looks on each other's faces had them giggling as they hurried out of the building.

THE END.


when everyday begins this way
get's you down and can drive you mad
the daily grind can freak your mind
life isn't all that bad
don't let it get to you
c'est la vie!


A/N: I'm sorry, but I didn't edit this at all, I've been watching Teletoon Retro while writing this and Inspector Gadget just came on, so.

Also, I'm going to put polls on my profile for if you want a prologue with the picnic/moth incident, the other poll will be for if you want an epilogue of them and their tie having fun.
