AUTHOR’S NOTES: This little story is dedicated to Lidia for her birthday. Happy birthday, Lidia.
Scully opened the door quietly, and took in the sight of her partner
sleeping at his desk. He was slouched in the chair with his head tilted
back and his eyes closed. His breathing was deep and regular. “Mm-ul-der-r-r,”
Scully purred into his ear and punctuated it with a little nibble on
his lobe.
“Mmmmmmm,” he responded, caressing her arms as she slipped
them around his chest. If he had to be awakened, this was without a
doubt the best way. He closed his hand over her arm and pulled her around
into his lap. Softly he kissed the tip of her nose.
“We’re still at work,” she chided him, returning the kiss anyway. “I’ve been thinking about what you told me, and I don’t think I can believe it.”
“Why not?” asked Mulder, suddenly alert. He took Scully’s hand in his and pulled her fingers into his mouth, sucking on them, one at a time. “It’s true,” he wheedled.
“Mulder, I just don’t think it is physically possible,” Scully argued, reclaiming her hand and running her fingers through his hair. “There are so many people and so many posts. It couldn’t be done.”
“I know it sounds implausible,” he mumbled, nuzzling into Scully’s neck, “but it’s true. Lidia has answered every post on the BtS and BTT lists, and has supported each of her listmates in their times of trouble.”
“If what you’re saying is true, maybe we should join those lists. We could use some support sometimes,” Scully conceded. She ran her finger along the side of his face. “You think?”
“Sure. I’ll sign us up right after we finish celebrating.” Mulder slipped his hand into Scully’s blouse, undoing the top button.
“Celebrating what?” Scully shifted so that she was straddling Mulder.
“Her birthday, Scully.” Mulder went for the second button and slipped a finger under the edge of her bra.
“Oh, Happy Birthday, Lidia!” Scully gasped, reaching for Mulder’s belt buckle. “This one is for you!”
