Disclaimer: No they don't belong to me yada yada yada...all things X are the property of Chris Carter, 1013 productions and occasionally FOX :) Author's Notes: Basically I thought this would be a fun look at the relationship before the baby, back when Mulder and Scully were first becoming more than friends. Perfect to set the Holiday Mood especially for those of you out there that are really missing Mulder. Have fun with this one :) (Origionally written in 1999) here we go... Mulder turned the key in the lock as Scully sighed in frustration. Leave it to Mulder to drag her ass out here on Christmas Eve. Some case, she thought to herself. It had turned out to be nothing of course, as most of them do and before the day was through they had been chased by a Grisley Bear, nearly killed when an avalanch of snow came down upon their car during which time the battery died and they were forced to walk nearly three miles to the nearest hotel which had only one vacancy with one bed and one bathroom. Scully heaved another sigh. Only Mulder... Finally the key turned and the door creaked open. A blast of chill air slammed into their faces. It was freezing inside. "Mulder this room has no heat." Scully rubbed her arms as she stepped over the threshold. He looked at her a moment before shaking his head. "Well then be my guest to sleep out in the snow." She pushed past him and headed towards the one bathroom. "I'm going to take a bath." Mulder nodded and headed for the television set. After twenty minutes of crackling fuzz and aching arms he slumped onto the bed in defeat. "What the hell is taking you so long Scully?" He called towards the bathroom. Scully stirred from her water induced sleep. "I told you Mulder, I'm taking a bath." Mulder stood and walked to the bathroom door, knocking loudly. "Scully let me in." "Mulder I'm in the bathtub!" "I don't care...you're not hogging the damn bathroom all night now let me in!" She rolled her eyes. "You have GOT to be kidding me." Mulder switched to banging. "Come on Scully... throw some panties on and let me in the bathroom before I pee on the floor out here." "Mulder the only way you are getting through that door is to break it down-" :BANG: :THWUNK: Scully jumped from the water and grabbed for a towel as Mulder tumbled through the door. "So...I take it Mulder that you took me seriously about the door?" She covered her breasts with the towel instinctivly. "Oh don't flatter yourself Scully, I've just gotta pee." He smiled as he lifted the toilet seat. Scully stared at him in horror. "You are not going to piss right in front of me?" :zwwwiiiipppp: "You are." Scully stepped out of the tub and left the bathroom. Mulder could not help the wide grin spreading across his face. When he entered the bedroom, he found Scully sitting in the center of the bed, her legs wrapped up in the covers, and her arms pulling her pajama top over her head. She bit her lip and then noticed him. "What?" "Nothing Scully." "No Mulder, you were staring at me...what?" She demanded. "Shit Scully...I said nothing." "Fine." "Scully move over." Mulder sat down on the bed beside her. She looked at him for a moment, opened her mouth to say something and then thought better of it. She scooted over. Mulder slid underneath the covers with her and followed her to the edge of the bed. Her body froze. "Now what are you doing?" "It's cold in here Scully." He grinned. "I don't care if its 50 below, back off." Mulder lightly touched her thigh. "Don't touch me." He touched her again. "Stop it." "No." :touch touch: "STOP IT!" :touch touch: "Damnit Mulder Stop!" :pause: :touch touch touch touch: "I'm going to fucking kill you." :poke: Scully turned to smack him but Mulder caught h er hand and held it tightly. "Let me go." She fought him and he flipped her over on the bed climbing on top of her and effectivly pinning her arms behind her back. She thrashed and kicked and attempted to bite, but after a few whimpers and foul words, she remained still. He looked down into her blue eyes and she stared at him blankly. He watched her breathing quicken as he bent towards her. He slowly lowered his face to hers, his lips nearly touching her mouth. She closed her eyes in anticipation of the sweet kiss. A smile lightly curved Mulder's cheek. The words flowed from his mouth like dark, rich honey...she had longed to hear these words for nearly 7 years. "I'm going to the snack machine Scully... want anything?" His mouth lightly brushed hers as he pushed himself off the bed and stood at the door. Her look was of ice and fire. She was beyond angry, she was steaming. With a smile, Mulder was out the door and Scully wasted no time in launching herself off the bed after him. She nearly tore the door off its hinges as she stalked after him down the hallway. "You Son-Of-A-Bitch!" Mulder stopped and slowly turned around. "Mulder....Fuck you! For bringing me out here on Christmas Eve when I could be spending it with my family, for nearly getting us killed in the process, for sticking us in this shitty hotel with no heat, for always ditching me and yet the very moment you are lying beated and broken, I am there to to put you back together...I've given you everything!.." "Shhhhh" He put his finger to her lips. "Merry Christmas Scully...." With that, he took her face in his hands, held her against the wall with his hips and brought his mouth down to cover hers. He broke away for one moment to finish his sentence. "...I love you." She pinched him. "Bastard." end
