This is just a little vignette I spouted off one day, and I promise I have more..er, substantial fic and I'll think about sharing! ~*~ Special thanks to my soul sister. Remember, no matter what happens I will always love you. Hope this piece-o-fluff makes you smile Dedicated to: So many people that my laziness does not permit me to write all fifty names. But to sum it up: the people who are a part of me and my life. ***end of rambling*** Now on with the show "The Scientific Method" 1/1 "Mulder, I can't believe you said that!" "Scully, I said it twenty minutes ago." Mulder was enjoying this. She just wouldn't let it drop. Scully noticed his enjoyment at her discomfort. She started yelling, "What you said is highly improbable, highly irrational, and just plain bullsh-" He cut her off, "Denial Scully, denial." She simmered. "No, more like disbelief at the suggestion of something so petty and...and stupid." Mulder almost choked with laughter. "Stupid? If it's so stupid, why are you still stuck on the subject?" Scully's cheeks flamed, "Fine, let's drop it." Unfortunately, Mulder was having too much fun at her expense. "No." "No?" Scully gulped. "No. As a scientist, you can't leave one stone unturned. Now tell my why one kiss between you and me wouldn't induce anything more than simple, emotionless, meeting of lips? Why wouldn't it lead to something more? And why did it fluster you so much when I said jokingly that a kiss would produce high voltage?" Why did she reveal her discomfort at what should have been another innuendo, which was more than customary in their daily lives? 'Stupid,' she reprimanded herself. The problem with this one particular innuendo was that it hit straight home. If they ever were to kiss, for her it would mean so much more than just a slight physical contact. "Umm...well, we're professionals Mulder, we wouldn't exactly 'melt' for one another. This is reality, not a Harlequin romance." What the hell kind of excuse was that? Scully was incredulous at her words. Mulder's eyes twinkled with amusement. "Yes, this is reality, and we're human." He got up and started to slowly advance upon her. Scully had never felt so flustered in her life as she did that moment. "What's your point?" She eyed him suspiciously as he approached her. Mulder stopped, his lips curving into a smile. "Well, you see," he began as if explaining the facts of life to a child and not a brilliant FBI agent. "Sometimes people tend to experience these wonderful feelings towards another person..." She cut him off, annoyed. "Mulder! Shut up!" She started to slowly walk backwards as Mulder started to approach her again. "What I mean is that a kiss wouldn't induce these feelings between us." It didn't take a kiss, just glances and mere touching was adequate. The humor flew out of his eyes. They now deepened into a dark green, a serious look replacing the previous mischief. Almost nearing her, he asked slowly, "So Doctor Scully, your hypothesis is that a simple kiss between us would jut be a kiss, nothing more?" Scully's back gently hit the wall. Crap. She stammered, "Ye-yes." Mulder stopped about two inches in front of her. He never stood this lose to her unless they were hugging or holding each other for comfort. This close proximity caused his breathing to stagger. "Are you aware of the scientific method Scully?" He wasn't the only one affected by their closeness. She nodded, wondering where her voice went. Mulder lifted one hand to her head. Twirling a soft strand of auburn hair around his finger, he marveled at her, at them. This felt so right. "Do you know what the step that comes after the hypothesis is? God he was so handsome. She breathed, "I believe it is the experiment, use-" He finished the sentence for her, "used to prove the hypothesis." Gently cupping her face with his hand, he bent his head and pressed his lips gently to hers. Not moving his mouth, he awaited her reaction. At the tender touch of his lips, Scully's heart flew. Sparks flew. Her rationality kicked in. Mulder's blood pressure kicked in. His ears rang with utter happiness. Scully began to move away, her head and heart fighting in their ambivalence. Mulder swiftly moved his hand to the back of her head, keeping her to him. He pressed his lips a little harder to hers. She succumbed. Hearts pounded in unison. Their mouths began moving together gently. Electricity coursed like a live wire. The kiss deepened. The final data: She melted. He melted. ~*~*~Finis~*~*~ Feedback!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tltseeker@yahoo.com
