"Tell me again why you like Hidden Camera?" Scully asked Mulder. He had asked her over to watch a movie. She hadn't expected to spend the evening watching some crazy reality show. "Cause it's fun?" Mulder was sitting on the couch; he had turned so that he could see the computer screen. On the screen was a woman with a strange tattoo on her shoulder, she was also wearing a blue bathing suit. This strange woman was washing dishes and slamming them so hard that the noise reverberated around the apartment. "What kind of fun is it to observe people twenty-four hours a day?" Scully repeated slowly. "Just look at that woman, no one should get that angry over dishes." "I've seen you that way before." "Over dishes?" "No, but the time that I gave out your secret stash of chocolate to trick-or-treaters was *real* close." "Chocolate is different." Scully said firmly. "A day without chocolate is like a day without sunshine." "Sounds like the woman with the dishes." Mulder smiled. "One of her housemates used the pots to melt her stash, and serve it over ice cream." "I don't blame her then!" Scully decided to watch along with Mulder, but first she had to break into her own stash. She went into the kitchen, and opened the cabinet. It was 'her' cabinet; Mulder had given it to her. That was were she kept her 'special foods', her coffee, her soy sauce, and her chocolate. No longer inside the cabinet was the package of chocolate. No longer was the death by chocolate chips package nestled close to the package. This could mean only one thing. Mulder had stolen her treasure! Scully began to tear apart the kitchen, searching for her chocolate. Not one wrapper remained of her dark delicious treats. *I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him! * Scully told herself. *What can I do to get my revenge? * She decided to confront him. Scully stormed into the living room. "WHERE IS MY CHOCOLATE!" "Chocolate?" Mulder said with a half-grin. That was enough to let Scully know that he had to have had something to do with the missing treasure. "You promised me!" "I did?" "Yes! You did!" The grin grew wider. "That's strange, I can't remember making a promise like that." *He's trying to push my buttons* Scully took a deep breath and let it out. "I know you have my chocolate. The question is, what do I have to make you give it back?" "A few things." Mulder held up one finger. "Stop acting like Ms. Skeptic twenty-four hours a day. We're partners-friends. You could believe in me once in a while." "I could try and do that." She admitted. "Two," Mulder held up the second finger. "I for one am fed up with us dancing around each other. I mean how long do we have to pretend we don't care about each other?" "I *do* care for you." She said firmly. *More then I'd like to admit. I love you Mulder. * "Three." Mulder held up yet another digit. "When I tell you I love you, you stop saying 'whoa boy!' Why would I lie about how I feel for you?" "You love me?" Scully couldn't keep the disbelief out of her voice. "For me, a day without Scully is like a day without sunshine." Mulder's eyes were honest. "The question is, what do you care about more? Chocolate, or me?" It didn't take Scully a moment to say. "You of course." Mulder picked up a pillow and took a piece of Godiva out from under it. "Let's share some chocolate." Scully couldn't help but smile. Mulder patting the seat beside her was all the encouragement she needed. She sat down beside him. Mulder slowly, very slowly unwrapped the chocolate. Mulder reached out; he ran the chocolate over the edge of her shirt, around the curves of her breasts. The entire time, looking into her eyes. A thrill went through Scully. There was desire written in his eyes. Then the chocolate went higher, caressing her neck. Slowly, very slowly, the chocolate made it's way to her mouth. She parted her lips as the chocolate danced around her lips. Then he slipped the chocolate into her mouth. As she chewed, he put his hand on the side of her face. His fingers gently caressing the places the chocolate had, his fingers gliding over her lips. Then his lips replaced the fingers. They kissed for what seemed like hours. Finally, Mulder pulled away from her. "Love you." "I love you too." Mulder smiled a smile that began with his eyes. "Let's share some more chocolate." Scully found herself smiling back. "Let's." Mulder picked up another piece of chocolate. "Your turn." Scully took the chocolate from her partner. She knew now that her life would never be the same. For she had found something even more dark and rich then chocolate.
