Author's Note: This idea came to me when
I was thinking of story ideas for Mulder 
and Scully doing some rather trivial. At 
first, this is pure UST then it leads to
RST. This story is a first for me since I
hadn't written any USTy stories in quite
some time since "Discovery of Forgiveness".
I hope that you'll enjoy this story as I had
fun writing it. =) This story is set sometime
after the X-Files: Fight The Future Movie. Also,
this story is close to NC-17 smutt fic, but it's
a risk for me. 
Feedback: Most appreciated and welcomed! I love
to receive e-mail from people who had read my
stories. 
Summary: Mulder and Scully are stuck in traffic,
and decide to talk about everything under the sun
until they get to the subject of their relationship.

TRAFFIC
Written by: Erin M. Blair 
--------------------------------------

"I can't believe that we're stuck in traffic, Scully,"
Fox Mulder said, exasperated. He frowned at the sea of
cars honking at each other and he knew that it wasn't 
going to get better. 

"We're gonna be late for our case, Mulder" Dana 
Scully said, as her voice trailed off as she watched 
the highway. She saw a car on the side of the road 
with a broken glass windows and a smashed hood. "Looks 
like a car accident..."

"That's why it's so bad today... Someone was in a car 
accident, and people are curious..."

"Mulder, knowing *how* curious you are, I know that you
would look too."

"Scully, you know me a little too well..."

"I should hope so," Scully said, as she looked at her 
watch. She frowned. "We're very late for the case..."

"Good... I don't know why they assigned us this case anyway.
I think that the Violent Crimes Unit could have handled it,"
Mulder said, with a sigh. "It's not an X-Files case..." He
looked at Scully's side profile. God, she was turning him on.
He had a burst of inspiration at what he wanted to do. "Scully, 
we don't talk much. Do we?"

"No... No, we don't... What do you want to talk about,
Mulder?" Scully asked. Her heart was pounding why her Mulder 
brought up something what the almost forgotten memory of 
Eddie Van Blundht had said to her. 

"I don't know. Let's talk about anything that comes to 
mind. It shouldn't be that hard, should it?"

"We haven't played that road game before," Scully said,
as she thought about their various road games that she
played with Mulder over the past five years. She smiled
as she remembered their last road game of twenty 
questions. "You won last time at twenty questions."

"I know, Scully," Mulder said, with a smile. "What's the 
first thing that comes to your mind?"  

"You *really* want to know?" Scully asked, as she smiled
at her partner. She wanted to challenge him. "You *really* 
want to know, Mulder?"

"Yes, I do." 

"That's a nice shirt that you're wearing..."

"Scully! Come on, you promised..."

"You're right. Are you sure that you really want to know?"
Scully asked. She loved Mulder, but she was afraid to let
him know how she felt towards him. 

"I want to know... Come on, Scully. If you tell me yours,
I'll tell you mine. Is it a deal?"

"I guess," Scully said, with a sigh. She took a deep breath
and continued. "You know how you sit behind the desk in your 
office, you don't know how much it turns me on..."

"It turns you on," Mulder said, as he got a glance at Scully
as he kept his eyes on the wheel. He smiled at her words, and
he felt hard. He wanted her so much that he wanted to put on
the AC unit. "You know you always say, "there's got to be an 
explanation?" Well, you always *turned* me on too."

"Is that the only time, Mulder?" 

"No."

"Name five times," Scully said, as she was enjoying this. Her 
heart was pounding as she thought of how much she wanted him,
and now she was finding out that *she* turned him on. It was 
enough to make her breast tingling.

"I only get five?"

"Yes."

"Whenever you say something very scientific..."

"I must have really turned you on all the time then," Scully
said. She paused. "Remember when we had our almost kiss..."

Mulder nodded. "Yes. I wish that we had finished the kiss..."

"Me too."

"Scully?"

"Yes, Mulder?"

"If we had finished that kiss, we wouldn't have 
stopped. I think that we would have done it on that 
hallway floor..."

Scully felt her cheeks warm as she was thinking the 
same thing. She wanted him so much that night... In her 
own mind's eye, she could picture them making love on the 
hallway floor... "This is frustrating."

"Tell me about it," Mulder said, with a sigh. "Do 
you...umm....would you like to finish that kiss?"  Mulder 
noted that the cars were still at a standstill. "We still 
have some time..." He saw Scully nod, and he faced her while 
their lips went closer until he felt her warm lips on his. 
Finally, they kissed with a passion that they had felt during 
that almost kiss. Mulder could tell that Scully was 
enjoying the fact that they finally had kissed after long 
years of frustration as he was. 

In the car next to them, a man yelled out, "Get a room! Jesus
Christ..."

"That was some kiss, Scully," Mulder said, with a smile. 

"Mulder..."

"Scully?"

"We should have done that years ago..."

"I agree..."

"Mulder," Scully said, as she noticed that the cars were 
honking at them. "I think that we caused the standstill." 

"Yeah, you're right. Let's go to that assignment..."

"Does this change us?"

"What do you think?" Mulder asked, as he grabbed the steering
wheel with both hands and drove towards their case. 

"I think that it does... We're more intimate with each other,"
Scully said, with a smile. "That's why I think that we're going
to waste that one of our two rooms."

"That's such a shame," Mulder said, with a nonchalant tone. 
He wanted his privacy, but his thoughts about having 
Scully in bed really turned him on. He smiled at the
thought of their upcoming sexual encounter.  "You win." 

End of Story.
