Percolated

SUMMARY: 155 words inspired by mountainphile and her charming little
story, Perks - although this is Perks' evil twin!
Things had been brewing between them for ages. Only
problem was, Scully didn't seem to notice.
Mulder murmured, grinning, "*my* partner" as Scully
rescued him from Ellens Air Base, supported him after the
Jersey Devil attack, pulled a gun to stop an evil
omnipresent computer.
"Life has its perks," Mulder acknowledged, as he realized
how lucky he was that Scully had saved him from parasitic
infection on the Icy Cape, bailed him out of military prison,
helped him flee the UFO Retrieval Team at Arecibo.
Mulder was interested in kicking it up a notch. But his
subtle wordplay - "you're the only one I trust", "thank you
for taking care of me", "you're my one in five billion" -
seemed to bounce off Scully like oil off a scientifically
formulated teflon pan.
"Hey Scully," Mulder muttered plaintively, "If smart is
sexy, why do I always come off looking like a doofus?"
Scully rolled her eyes.
"Go figure."
