Work Text:
Valentine’s Day 2000
It had been about a month and a half since their first kiss, the way they rang in the new millennium. Neither Mulder nor Scully would have had it any other way. In the past few weeks, it had been impossible for the two of them to keep their hands off of each other. There was an agreed “no PDA at work” rule set but that didn’t mean they kept their hands to themselves behind closed doors. Even breaking that rule was tempting every time they made eye contact or accidentally bumped hips in the cramped basement.
When February 14th came, Scully didn’t know what to expect. She didn’t know what would be reasonable to give Mulder as a first Valentine’s Day together gift. Nothing about their relationship had been straightforward or simple. No magazine could have advised her on what to do when she and her handsome coworker finally moved toward a romance after several years of being work partners and going through hell and back multiple times in the meantime.
Walking into work, she didn’t expect to find a dozen roses on their shared desk greeting her when she entered their basement office accompanied by a card simply saying “Scully” next to them. She didn’t notice Mulder sneaking up behind her, closing the door with his foot. He just now startled her to the point where she nearly elbowed him in the stomach.
She was flattered, and somewhat shocked. No one had ever given her a Valentine’s surprise like that before oddly. Aside from one small box of chocolates and a cute but not quite her style necklace from Ethan several years ago, the gifts had been next to non-existent. Jack especially saw Valentine’s Day as being unimportant and Daniel had been similar as well. “It’s just nonsensical” they would both say. While she was well-aware that the holiday was a bit over-hyped, having someone finally that saw it as an opportunity to express his feelings was refreshing.
She had also had a hunch that Mulder wouldn’t be quite as dismissive. Scully could tell the man was a hopeless romantic at heart and longed to spoil any lover he had. Unfortunately, she saw how that had been used against him and he’d been taken advantage of before by previous girlfriends. Scully vowed to never be that kind of woman. She feared hurting him again, that was the last thing he needed.
“Mulder, wow. Thank you!” She finally said, bringing herself back to Earth. He could see she was blushing and that was not only adorable, but also felt satisfying. He made a good choice. Their first Valentine’s Day as lovers was off to a good start. “They’re beautiful” she said, then paused. “You didn’t need to do this, you know”
“Scully, I wanted to” Mulder said, now starting to blush himself. “Anyways, would you maybe want to get some dinner tonight? We could go to a nice restaurant, maybe something different? I never thought I’d say this but our usual pizza deliveries are getting old”
“Mulder” Scully said, beginning to smile. He was so cute when he was flustered, like a teenage boy with his crush. “Yes. I’d love to”

LATER THAT NIGHT
After work and dinner together, Mulder stopped the car outside Scully’s apartment. He turned off the ignition, interrupting the sappy but catchy love song playing on the radio. He admired the way Scully looked in the moonlight.
She really was beautiful. After work, she decided to change out of her blazer and white dress shirt and put on a maroon sweater. She wasn’t going to tell Mulder right away, but she also changed into a cute lacy pale pink lingerie set she bought a week ago had been saving for something special. Scully’s final touch was to add a little lipstick. She wasn’t sure how much was too much, she didn’t necessarily want to leave marks all over Mulder’s face. Or maybe she did. It was something she was going to figure out.
Mulder leaned in and the two of them passionately kissed several times. After they both lost count of how many kisses they had exchanged, Scully pulled back and smiled. She kissed Mulder’s forehead. He was now wearing a shade of rosy pink on his face. He hadn’t seen it in a mirror yet, but Scully did. She grinned, it turned out she was enjoying the marking of her territory. Who knew?
“Come upstairs with me, Mulder. Please.” Scully whispered in Mulder’s ear and then kissed his cheek.
————-
Mulder followed along as Scully unlocked the door to her apartment. It was always so clean in there and now felt like a second home to him. Mulder went to sit down on the couch but Scully stopped him.
“No, Mulder. I think it’s time you came to the bedroom” she said, smiling. Her voice sounded both confident and terrified at the same time, if that was even possible. Anything was possible with Scully, Mulder had learned over the years. He loved that about her. Even after all the time they’d spent together, even after they had taken their relationship to the next level, Mulder knew Scully still had some tricks up her sleeve and there was never a dull moment with them. It was just being with her that felt like a gift. He was head over heels in love with his best friend, what more could he want?
Truth was, Scully was both nervous and excited. She had been waiting for what seemed like forever to finally take this next step with Mulder. She had her own concerns though. What if this wasn’t the right move? What if it damaged the relationship? She had never felt the way she felt about Mulder about anybody else before. She didn’t want this to destroy what had been growing for the past seven years.
Would taking the plunge be worth it?
Mulder followed Scully into the bedroom. Scully stood on her toes to reach up and wrap her arms around Mulder. She gave him a long kiss and he began to undress her. After removing her sweater, he paused.
“Scully, is that?” He gestured toward her pink lacy bra, it wasn’t what he was expecting. It was beautiful but he was also interested in taking it off. This was a dilemma he never thought he’d have.
He took a few moments to admire it, as well as the matching lace underpants she had revealed as she unzipped her pants while he was lost in thought.
“Yes Mulder” Scully said in a sultry voice Mulder had never heard from her. He loved it. The sound went straight to his rapidly growing erection.
She was naked before she knew it. So was he. Finally, Scully stepped closer to Mulder and she pressed her body against his, feeling his erection against her.
He caressed her face as wrapped her arm around his waist.
“Mulder, I love you”
“I love you too”
He looked into Scully’s eyes and kissed her yet again. He then picked her up and placed her on her back with her bottom at the edge of the bed. He got on his knees and gently parted Scully’s thighs.
Scully was surprised but more than ready for what was coming. “Is this real?” she had to ask herself a few times. Mulder began to lick up and down her labia, using his left hand to caress her hip and his right to play with her left nipple. He then spread her labia and found her clit. He did not hesitate to get started. As he was using his fingers to massage around it and then his tongue, Scully was in heaven. As she began panting, she knew it wouldn’t take long for her to reach orgasm.
Meanwhile, Mulder was having the time of his life. Never in his thirty-eight years had he felt like a possible contender for “Luckiest Man on Earth” until now. There was going to be plenty of time in the near future to do more even, this was just the beginning. The journey they’d been on and were continuing together had been a wild ride.
“Mulder, I’m… I’m going to…ahhhhh!!!” Scully screamed, completely letting go. Never had an orgasm had the effect on her that this one did. It was better than she could have ever imagined.
However, there was one thing missing. She wanted… no, she needed to have Mulder inside her.
Mulder went into Scully’s bathroom to grab a towel to clean them both up but Scully reached out and grabbed his arm.
“Mulder, don’t go too far. I’m not done yet” Scully said, in the same sultry voice that was one of Mulder’s newest turn-ons he never knew he had.
Mulder quickly came back. Scully was now on her side on the bed. Mulder loved the way she looked post-orgasm. Lucky for him, it wouldn’t be the last time he saw her this way.
“Come here” Scully said. Mulder climbed up on the bed. Scully pulled him on top of her.
“It’s your turn” she smiled. She handed him a condom. She knew any surprises were unlikely, but she wanted to make sure.
Fortunately, Mulder was still hard as a rock and Scully was more than wet enough. Mulder found his way inside her and began to thrust. It didn’t take him too long to come as well.
“SCULLYYYYY” Mulder moaned as he came. Hearing Mulder say her name and the fact that he was still massaging her clit caused a second orgasm from Scully. Mulder removed himself from her and this time did grab a towel to clean up and discarded the used condom. After the couple cleaned up, they cuddled up together in Scully’s bed. Mulder kissed the top of Scully’s head.
“Scully?” Mulder asked
“Yeah?”
“Thank you.”
“For what?”
“Everything.”
