Flirting
By: RaVeN

Procrastination must be one of the most enjoyable
parts of living. Why do today what can be out off
until tomorrow? It's a great philosophy, until the one
day when everything that has been put off must be
faced. One this day, Mulder and Scully had to face
what they had pushed aside for so long. They had to
face more than one thing that they had pushed away for
so long.

Scully glared at the paperwork. Piles of it decorated
the cramped basement office that she shared with Fox
Mulder. Every imaginable bit of paperwork, from forms
to field reports, had to be done today. Unfortunately,
neither partner was working very hard. She stared
vacantly at the wall above Mulder's head. He stared
vacantly at the wall above her head. Or so I would
appear. Actually, they were both discretely staring at
each other. 

Scully's eyes dropped lazily over her partner's body.
The checked him out for about the millionth time since
she was assigned to him. He still failed to disappoint
her. As time passed, she lost her caution and gazed at
him more openly. He noticed her staring at him, and
smiled inwardly, but kept his careful watch from her
eyes. Eventually boredom overtook common sense and
Mulder decided to have some fun. Subtly he caught her
eyes and gave her a playful wink. She rolled her eyes
and looked back at the work in front of her.

That was no fun. Mulder tried again. His expression
became slightly less playful and more tempting. Scully
was pondering turning away, but it was a game with
Mulder or paperwork. If he wanted to play, fine. She
was game. 

Scully turned toward him. Lowering her face and
focusing her large blue eyes up at him in puppy-dog
style, she gave him a stunning seductive leer. Mulder
was taken aback. He never knew Scully to have that
kind of skill in the art of seduction. Of course, the
only time he ever knew anything about Scully's
seductive skills was in his porn-induced fantasies,
but that is another matter. Mulder was shocked, but he
had not lost yet. Outwardly, he kept cool though his
mind was tripping on a surge of hormonal impulses. He
was ready to make his next move.

What Scully saw him doing was enough to cause every
Mulder-fantasy that ever passed through her mind to
return. He returned her leer, catching her eyes in an
inescapable trap. His tongue shot out over his upper
lip and returned to his mouth. A subtle gesture, but
one with enough implications to send Scully's mind
reeling. After a second of regaining control of her
head, she decided how to counter.

She returned his gesture, followed by blowing a quick
kiss. It was not an innocent schoolgirl kiss, but more
of a right here, right now kind of kiss. Mulder's
brain went into overload. The only responses he could
think of were far to obscene for anyone with morals to
use in the office. However, he couldn't lose this
game. He smiled and began to speak in a dry, teasing
voice. "Why Scully, I've never seen the sexy side of
you. You're driving me crazy."

Scully heard his mocking tone and took slight offense.
Jokingly, she answered, "Screw you."

"Will you?" Mulder asked, standing and approaching her
desk.

"No."

"Yeah, you would." He stood at the corner of her desk.

Scully snorted in disbelief. "How would you now that?"

"Don't you remember Eddie Van Blundht?" 

"Kissing and sex are to very different things,
Mulder."

"You would screw me." He sat on the edge of her desk,
getting a bit too close.

"Bite me."

"Can I?"

"Please."

" Careful what you wish for."

"It might just come true. I know."

Mulder sighed. "But you would have kissed me then?"

Scully thought for a moment. Honesty is the best
policy. "Yes."

"Would you kiss me now?"

Now it was time to stretch the truth a little. The
positive "yes" in Scully's mind became, "Maybe."

Mulder began to lean. "Would you mind if I found out?"

"Maybe," Scully said leaning more than resisting. 

"I'll risk it," was all Mulder could manage to say
before answering his question.
