"Mulder... what's one thing in the entire world that you want but don't have?" He looked up from his desk and scanned her body from head to toe. His action went unnoticed. He finally gave her a simple shrug and leaned back in his seat.

"Um... a million dollars?" She rolled her eyes.

"Something I can afford, Mulder." He tilted his head in confusion and gave her a look. She stood up from her chair and walked over to the calendar that was pinned to the wall next to their desk. "Your birthday is tomorrow, incase you forgot." He quickly rememberd.

"Scully, you don't have to get me anything." She shook her head and resumed sitting in the chair across from him.

"I want to and you won't stop me." He gave her a small smile and went back to his work. She made sure his attention was focused on something else before she let her lips part and put her stare on him. She watched as he worked quickly, admiring the way he concentrated on the task before him.

She licked her lips when he licked his, ideas on what to get him bouncing in her head. He already had everything a man his age could ever want. 'Except a wife,' she thought to herself. She shook the thought from her head and continued to think of the perfect present to get for the love of her life.

Later that night, Mulder sat in his apartment. He was flicking through the television stations when he heard a soft knocking on his door. He turned off the television and padded towards the door. He unlocked it and swiftly pulled it back to reveal a more casual looking Scully, in jeans that hugged her legs and a form fitting sweater.

"Scully. Come in." As she walked past him, he rested his hand on her back while he shut the door and leaded her into the living room. He noticed her expression and almost laughed. She looked like an excited four year old who had just found all the Christmas presents in the hallway closet. "What do you know that I don't?"

"Well, I finally came up with the perfect idea and it just... it just couldn't wait." He noticed as she stood in front of him with her hands behind her back. The suspense was killing him now. It took all he had not to grab her by the waist and pry whatever she had in her hands from her.

She brought her hands from around her back and held up a pair of basketball tickets with a red bow keeping them together. He froze and grabbed the tickets from her hand, reading what was on the ticket. It was his favorite team. The New York Knicks. He looked down at her with wide eyes and a huge smile.

She nodded her head with excitement and squealed when he lunged forward for her. He grabbed her by the waist and pulled her against up. She laughed and wrapped her arms around his neck as he lifted her into the air and spun her around a few times, all the while thanking her.

Slowly, he placed her down on the ground again, but making sure their bodies brushed against each others in the process. She closed her eyes in comfort when he didn't release his arms from around her. She stayed encircled in his arms as he continued to stare down at her. When she finally opened her eyes, his face was only a breath away from hers.

Her lips parted when he inched closer. Fireworks went off behind both of their closed eyes when their lips met in a slow, loving kiss. With a shaking hand, she reached up and rested it against the side of his neck as they deepened their kiss. Their heads tilted from side to side until his tongue gently ran over her bottom lip. She gasped in pleasure and parted her lips wider.

They pulled apart forcefully for air, both of them panting. He rested his forehead against hers and smiled.

"I take it you like your present," she whispered. He let a moan escape his lips before his finger rested under her chin and forced her to look up at him again. He caught her lips between his own in another gentle kiss. She placed both of her hands against his chest and pushed him back a little. "We leave tomorrow," she whispered again. He smirked and tore the bow from the tickets.

She watched closely as he leaned forward and pressed the end of the red bow to her forehead and smiled. She giggled and gave him a suggestive smile.

"I love my present," he whispered against her lips before pulling her against him and kissing her hard on the lips.
