Sorry guys! I have been pretty busy but I managed to get this one out! My muse is being kind of a bitch right now but probably cause of school and work. This one is mostly fluff for fluffs sake but I hope you enjoy! I am hoping to get into the actual cases at this time in the show as well as maybe some of my own. Review please it is what keeps me going!

I Always Knew

The Vaccines

Down, down in my bones

Somewhere I'd never ever known
Right at the back of my head
It hit me like a beam of light
Hit me like a hook with a right
And I could have fell to the floor
'Cause you talk to me
And it comes off the wall
You talk to me
And it goes over my head
So let's go to bed
Before you say something real
Let's go to bed before
You say how you feel

'Cause it's you
I always, always knew
I oh, I always knew
Oh, it's you

Scully moved out of his way to let him pass and put the breakfast offerings on the desk. After putting them down he turned to face her and moved deftly across the space somehow closing the door to the office and pulling her to him at the same time. They leaned against the door for a few seconds as he kissed her deeply, probably too deeply for the office. They pulled away for breath and he was getting ready to go in again when Scully held up her finger between their lips.

"Mulder we need to have rules." She said carefully. "If not this will get out of control very fast. We already have enough crap to worry about without one of Kersh's goons walking in on us in the basement."

Mulder reluctantly let his arms move away but kept hold of one of her hands possessively. "Yeah, yeah, yeah." Mulder said with a slight smile as he led her to her seat. He sat down across the desk from her figuring that some space would make it a bit easier.

Scully opened up the bag to find bagels and some cream cheese (the real kind). She handed a bagel and a cup of cream cheese to Mulder and took her own.

"What took you so long?" She said preparing her breakfast.

"What? Were you nervous I was skipping town?

"No. Well I didn't know if you would feel weird… I don't know it sounds stupid." Mulder gave a small giggle like sound that received a swat to the head and a, "Shut up Mulder!"

Mulder leaned back in his chair with his hands behind his head and a sarcastic far off look on his face, "Well you were right to be afraid. I have only stuck around all these years for that night. Now I am outta here. It was a challenge I will admit. Was it worth it some may ask?" He glanced at her, "Yes. Yes it was. But now the time has come." He began to move as if to get up but instead just smiled and ate his food.

"Was that fun? More fun than sex I assume since you are putting your chances of ever having it again on the line with jokes like that." She said eyebrow up and fighting a smile.

The rest of the day was mostly paperwork. Mulder found himself having to justify his trip to England knowing that the expenses would probably end up coming out of his own pocket. By the time lunch rolled around the two had filed away a lot of paperwork and had begun to look into old cases to see if they could find anything interesting. Scully put down a file about a werewolf type creature and declared, "I'm hungry."

Mulder's eyes left the folder he was reading and he smiled up at her. "Let's go eat then."

They went to a diner that they found themselves at from time to time but was far enough away from the office that they were pretty sure they would see no one they would know. They sat opposite from each other in a booth with their feet touching under the table. They had not spoken much since they had gotten there as they were examining the menu and ordering but as soon as the waitress left them Mulder took Scully's hand and looked at her with a very serious expression.

"You know that I am in love with you right? I just felt like I needed to say it." He said stroking her hand with his thumb.

"Wow kind of forward for a first date no?" Scully teased, "Of course I know. And I love you."

"Oh Agent Scully this is not our first date. Our first date is forthcoming and it will kick today's ass. I am going to take you out somewhere so fancy that I will be kicked on to the streets. I'll buy you the most expensive thing on the menu. All I ask is that you dress up. Then I will take you to some pretty park and we can walk around. Then we can do it in a bush."

Scully had been listening with a smile as her heart fluttered but with the last words she laughed out loud.

"Only you can make that sound romantic."

"How is having sex in a public park not romantic?"

"Oh it is romantic for a couple of 16 year olds."

"Well my goal, Dana, is to make you feel 16 again. Well all the good parts of being 16. Sans the lack of privacy, pimples, and 80s hair that is."

When he said her first name her heart skipped a beat. She smiled at him widely and leaned over the booth to lightly press her lips against his.

They finished lunch with talk of their plans for the evening and a retelling of the worst dates they had been on.

"… So when I came back from the bathroom more than half of my food was gone. When I asked him about it he denied it with a strait face and said I must have eaten more than I thought. But it gets better when we were done the waitress asked if we wanted dessert and since I had not eaten a full meal I wanted dessert and so I said yes and looked at the menu and then he asked me if I was sure I wanted to eat more and that maybe I should watch my figure better."

"No way!"

"Yes he really did. So I just asked for the check. Now on dates I don't assume I am not paying for anything I will chip in unless the guy says no and so I was getting ready to do this and he tells me that he considers himself a feminist and was thinking that I could pay for this meal and he would get the next one. That was when I assured him there would not be another date and that I expected him to pay for his part. He seemed a little pissed but did it. When he pulled up in front of my apartment he asked if he could walk me up and I said no. But apparently he did not like that answer and so he went with anyways. When we got to my door he tried to kiss me! And I said no that I had a terrible time and told him not to call again. He then disregarded what I said and asked to come in so I slapped him and slammed the door. He kept calling for a while but eventually gave up. It was the worst. Funny now but after that I considered giving up dating."

"I can't believe you didn't sleep with the poor guy! He tried so hard. Stone cold. That will be a hard date to top but I think I can do it." Mulder smiled at her and then looked at his watch. "Ah time to go back to the ol' grind stone."

They made their way to the car but as soon as they got to the car Mulder grabbed Scully's hand and pulled her into his arms and kissed her with passion.

"Been wanting to do that all day."
