Chapter Text
It's in his kiss
Chapter 1
Special Agent Dana Scully sat at a desk in her area of the X Files office late that Friday evening. She was contemplating whether or not to go home or stay at work late and pay a secret visit to her boss, AD Skinner.
Ever since she had kissed him In the elevator while she was looking for Mulder Scully hadn't been able to stop thinking about the kiss. Sure she didn’t think about it at the time as she was too busy looking for Mulder. But since Mulder recovers yesterday and was due out of the hospital tomorrow she had time to think about her actions again.
It was two days since she found Mulder onboard that ship, and two days since she had kissed her boss. Scully knew that one action alone crossed many lines but she couldn’t help but do it at the time. She was frantic about Mulder and would do anything to find him.
Since visiting Mulder in the hospital the day before Skinner hadn't talked to her, or even seen her, and when she passed him in the hallway once he would pretend he didn’t see her and kept walking.
Scully gulped as she tried to think what to do next before Mulder came in tomorrow. What could she do? Why did she kiss Skinner? Did she like it? Scully blushed as she thought of the answer. Hell yes, she thought and sighed. She wondered if he felt the same way and whether or not she should act upon it.
She glanced at the time. 6pm. She knew Skinner worked late and the chances are that when she went up to visit him in a moment he would still be in his office, writing reports that need finishing before going home.
Scully took a deep breath and stood up. She better go and see him and clear the air with him, and find out where she stood with him, as they can't keep avoiding each other forever.
With a determined look, Scully strode out of the X Files office and made her way upstairs to visit her boss.
