Written out of pure boredom. Title- Hey Jealousy.
I own nothing.
Chapter title- Overstatement.
"Scully?" Mulder waved his hand in front of Scully's face trying to get her attention. They were on their way down to the office when Scully decided to stop for coffee. There was an agent in view… a good looking one. Scully was staring right at him. He stared back. "Scully! Hey, you're…" But it was too late Scully had over flowed her coffee cup and it went all over her skirt. Mulder began to grab napkins for the coffee soaked and stained agent but just as he began to help wipe off her skirt the attractive agent came by.
"Special Agent Frank Solie." He smiled down. It was like his smile made the whole room brighter. His teeth were white and his ash blonde hair and green eyes where amazing to any woman that had ever seen him. Yes, that included the red head agent before him. He reached out to shake her hand.
"Special Agent Dana Scully." She took it and blushed, for she still had coffee all over her.
"Let me help you with that…" Mulder got protective.
"No. Don't worry about it. I have it under control." Mulder told Solie and gave him a look of warning. But Solie, just ignored Mulder's rudeness and reached his hand out to dry off Scully's skirt. Mulder quickly pushed his hand away.
"Mulder, what're you.." Scully whispered but Skinner interrupted.
"Mulder can I see you for a moment?"
"Actually sir-"
"Now." Mulder glanced to Scully and then to Solie who gave him a sarcastic smile. Mulder had no choice but to oblige the Assistant Director's orders. As soon as Skinner was done with him he walked right back to Scully who was now standing alone with a huge smile on her face.
"What's that smile for?" Mulder asked Scully as he picked up his and her coffee as they went into the elevator. He found that Solie was smiling at her. "Scully? Hello? Dana Scully? What the hell are you smiling for?"
"Calm down Mulder. Special Agent Solie just asked me out to dinner."
"You have a date with that man?"
"Yes, I do." She smiled at Mulder who was obviously both confused and angry as they stepped off the elevator and proceeded down to their office. They were silent with each other until they were both in the loneliness of their office.
"Come on, Scully." Mulder began while putting his feet up on his desk as he normally does. "Anyone is better than that man."
"You just met him." She couldn't lie to herself she loved how Mulder was acting. She wanted his attention. He obviously wanted hers too.
"I don't like him. Anyone's better than him. I'm better than him. You know that!" He couldn't calm his self down. 'What the hell are you doing? Telling Scully you want to date her like that?' He asked himself. He mentally kicked himself for doing so. His words hit Scully like waves crashing into the rocks.
"What're you trying to say, Mulder?" She knew what he was trying to indirectly say; she wanted to hear him say it directly though.
"Nothing. Forget I said anything." She was disappointed and decided not to talk about Solie for the rest of their time at work.

"Well, it's five." Scully told Mulder and he got up and got his and Scully's coat.
"Do you wanna have dinner tonight? We still have some files to look over."
"No…actually," Scully started as she opened the door. "I can't."
"Oh yeah I forgot… Agent Solie." He cursed under his breath.
"We're going out to dinner at seven. I'll see you tomorrow morning." Both got onto the elevator. Mulder was pissed and Scully could see it. She loved jealous Mulder. She loved all of Mulder. Over so many years you can only love or hate a person. This was love. She just got used to ignoring her love for Mulder. It was hard at times but she kept telling herself she had too. The most recent time that she thought she didn't have to ignore it any longer was right before that wretched bee stung her in his hallway. 'Damn bee.' She cursed it a million times in her head before getting off the elevator. They were silent towards each other before separating to go to their cars in the garage.

Agent Solie came to Scully's house around 7:30; ergo he was incredibly late. Scully told herself that Mulder wouldn't ever be a half an hour late. She told herself that he's usually early or only 10 minutes late. She couldn't believe that even though she was about to go on a date with a very attractive man her thoughts were all focused on Mulder. She hated it.
"Diana!" He said as Dana, not Diana Scully opened the door. She just stared at him. "Something wrong?"
"No. You just called me Diana though." She looked confused as she moved aside to let him in. "Let me just get my purse." She rushed off into her bedroom to get her purse but when she returned she found Agent Solie standing almost inside her now opened fridge. "Uhm… Frank, are we ready to go?"Agent Solie backed out of the fridge with a milk mustache. He clearly drank from her milk carton. 'Gross' Scully thought to herself.
"Yeah sure." He grabbed his jacket and went into the elevator. He had this annoying way of cracking his knuckles. He would do it every ten seconds. Scully just ignored it thinking he would stop; Frank continued until they got into the car. Once he started the car this loud noise came on. Scully couldn't decipher what it was but she soon found out after Agent Solie began to bang his head and said that he loved this song.
'Music? This shit is music?' She thought in her head as they sped off to the restaurant. Yeah, sped off to the restaurant. This Agent Frank Solie was one hell of a speed demon. Scully told him to slow down a few times and he just told her 'Live a little ginger girl.' Okay that broke the straw for Scully. She definitely should have listened to Mulder. She hated when people called her Ginger. Still, Scully continued on with the night.
Dinner was horrible. All he would do was talk about himself. He'd crack dirty jokes. He wouldn't crack the jokes before their meals came; no he said them while they were eating. Scully asked to be excused after he told her a story of what happened to the cows on his aunts farm.
"Hurry on back now!" He told her and smacked her butt as she walked off. Scully fought the urge not to turn around and slap him. Instead she just walked off rolling her eyes.
When she returned she found her plate to be empty and being taken away by the waitress. Even though she was starving and didn't eat much do to Frank's dirty jokes she was kind of relieved that the date ended.
"Looks like it's time to go." Scully told Frank. He got up and handed her the bill.
"You owe $16.20."
"I owe $16.20?" She couldn't believe it. She was taken aback by his words, and not the way she is with Mulder's.
"Uhm… yeah. I owe 25.36." He handed her the check and walked off to the car, allowing her to pay for it.
When she got the car she was greeted by the annoying loud noise coming from the stereo. And then before she could even get her seat belt on he sped off into the direction of her house. It was around 9:30 when she got home and she allowed her horrible date to walk her to her door.
"Am I coming in or spending the night, Dana?" He asked her when they were at the door.
"No. You're not. I'm busy tonight. I have files to work on. Can't. Sorry, bye." Just as she reached for the doorknob Solie leaned in for a kiss. A kiss that he would most certainly not get. Luckily, Mulder opened Scully's apartment door before he got centimeters away from her face.
"Bye, Solie." Mulder told him as he grabbed Scully's wrist and slammed the door in the other agent's face. Scully loved how he was right there, right when he needed to be. That would be the what time he has saved her? She decided to pretend like she was mad at Mulder to see how he'd react.
"What the hell was that, Mulder?" She asked as she stomped off to her bedroom to change. She slammed the door shut and it rattled the whole floor.
"That guy is a bastard Scully!" He was right.
"And why the hell are you waiting for me at my apartment Mulder?" She called from in her room and then emerged wearing grey sweatpants and a purple beater.
"I wanted to know about your date. How was it?" She ignored him.
"Mulder are you jealous or something? Why did you have to mess things up? You messed them up at work! You were rude to agent-" She yelled until he cut her off with more yelling. His emotions got the best of him at that moment and he let it all spill out of his mouth.
"You caught me Dana! You caught me! I'm jealous! I don't see how you can be so attracted to that guy. And obviously you're date was wonderful and I'm a jealous wreck. We've been working together for five years and I've grown to know you. I've grown to form a great respect for you. I care about you more than anyone. I love you! And I can't stand to see you with another guy!" He was about to continue on but Scully put her finger up to his mouth so she could talk.
"Wow," she laughed and the Mulder looked at her in a confused way. "I… to answer your question, Mulder, I actually had a horrible time. No, not horrible. Horrible would be an overstatement. This was the worst date I have ever been on in my life. You're much better. This guy even ate my dinner!" They both laughed and he grabbed her closer. Her blue eyes always seemed to pierce him. "Mulder… I… love you too." She smiled as he pushed his lips onto hers.
"I bet you're hungry. I ordered Chinese while I was waiting for you to come home. I ordered you two spring rolls too, because I know they're your favorite." She smiled as Mulder grabbed her hand and they walked into the kitchen. They ate their dinner and discussed Scully's date from hell during it.
They fell asleep in each other's arms on the couch watching the late show.
