Work Text:
When he entered her apartment he was greeted with the sweet smell of something baking in the oven.
"Knock, knock," he greeted, smiling at her when she looked up from what she was doing. "Something smells good in here."
Scully, dressed in an apron, dusted off the remnants of flour off her hand.
"Hmmm, yeah. Baking some cookies for Mom's church fellowship tomorrow," She said. "I volunteered to help her with the baking part."
"Awww, that's nice." Mulder remarked. He eyed her countertop, it was quite a mess, but a good mess.
"Well, I just wanted to drop off your coat and I'm headed out. I don't want to distract you." He told her, holding up her black coat which she left behind at his apartment the night before.
"Oh..." Scully softly said, slight disappointment laced her tone. "Well, um, alright then. You can just place it over there." She told him, pointing to the empty chair.
Mulder did what he was told and said, "Well, I'm headed out. Send my regards to your mom."
Scully smiled a bit while nodding her head, and when Mulder was about to turn to leave, she called him back.
"Would you like to stay for a while and have a cookie or two?"
Mulder turned around and with a smile said, "I'd love to."
They spent the next hour eating cookies and drinking milk, and eventually Mulder helping her out with the baking.
