It's been almost a year since Mulder disappeared, but only three months since he's been back. He was in the hospital for one month, on and off for the next, and then told to stay home for another month. Agent Scully had her baby a month and one week after Mulder was returned, so now she only works half the time I do. Mulder has to work only two hours without her and then he gets to go home (he's been back at the job for a week), while I have to sit here all day. As I was saying there was something up. Mulder kept on eyeing Scully. Now I have been over their apartment a few times for dinner and stuff where they're always affectionate, but at work they hardly touch each other. Maybe it's a rule Skinner set for them so that don't take off each others clothes like animals. Trust me I don't want to see that. Finally Mulder seems like he's going to say something but closes his mouth when Scully looks at him. He does his puppy dog face which I've grown accustomed to and ignore. Every time I am over their apartment he gives that face to her at least once. It's sickens me each time. Anways now he gets up from their desk (I say their desk meaning they share his desk together). And makes his way towards the middle of the room. I am engrossed in what he is going to do and I sit there and watch their escapades because for some reason they don't mind (except arguements, but I wouldn't want to listen or watch those), I guess they sorta consider me a friend. Hell, they told their kid to call me Uncle John. So I continue watching. He sets his eyes determined at her. "Scully, please come here," he asks sweetly. "Mulder I'm doing something, can it wait," she asks reading a file. "No, it is quite of the importance that you come here right now," he says pointing his finger at the floor. "One second." She finishes reading and gets up heading towards Mulder. "What?" "Stand right here," he says positioning her standing towards their desk. She gives me a little grin, as if to say 'what an idiot.' I smile back at her. This is really interesting. He pulls the small, plastic, empty (all the papers are basically on the floor from our missed foul shots) garbage can almost right in front of her. He then backs away a little and positions himself facing her. "Mulder what are you doing?" She questions. He just grins and starts walking towards her. Then as he approaches the garbage can he trips on it, landing his lips right on hers for a long kiss. I get up from my chair and walk towards them. "Fine," I say. "I'll get the coffee." And as I walk out I give them a face and hear her giggling from under his mouth. Then, as usual halfway down the hall I hear two unison yells from our office. "Thanks Doggett." It's gonna be a long day.
