Comments: Originally written for the July 2000 Sleeping Bags 500-Words-Or-Less Kilt-Fic contest, which was canceled before I could submit this. (Psst. It's longer than 500 words now) Disclaimer: I own the TV, but not what's shown on it. Thanks: To mimic117 for taking the time for a fanfic virgin (though I've been doing it in my head for years and years and... oh let's just face it, I'm almost out of that 18 to 48 demographic age range which advertisers care about). Or maybe ya'll should be blaming her for unleashing me onto the fanfic world. Date written: July 2000, revised June 2002 Author's notes: At end. xxxxx Highland Fling By banlu Mulder was not happy. Mulder was annoyed. Mulder was uncomfortable. He was sitting in a comfortable chair, yet he couldn't get comfortable. He sat almost sideways in the chair, legs tightly crossed. He kept re-crossing them, each time carefully keeping his knees together so that no one could look up his kilt. He checked his watch, then surveyed the crowd as it milled around the food and crafts booths. He bolted upright when he saw at last the top of a familiar red head making its way toward him. Then he heard giggling... ... and saw two teen-age girls slumping low in their chairs, angling their necks for a better view. Mulder realized he had spread his legs wide open and red- facedly snapped his knees together just as Scully reached him. She raised an eyebrow, but before she could speak he pointed a finger at her. "This is all your fault, Scully. I really didn't have to wear this to 'blend in'." "True, but you're the one who decided to dress 'authentic'." Mulder pouted. Scully ignored him. "Well, no sign of MacGregor at the caber toss. Have you seen him?" "No." he grumbled. "Ok then, let's get lunch." Mulder sighed and stood. Glancing around, he spotted MacGregor. "Scully!" he pointed and began moving toward their suspect. MacGregor saw them and started running. Mulder sprinted after him. "Shhh..." he hissed as he realized another consequence of dressing 'authentically'. Things were a lot freer under the kilt than he was accustomed to. He concentrated on the on the fleeing man. The crowd scattered before the chase. MacGregor dodged behind the booths in an effort to lose Mulder. He stumbled over an extension cord, which slowed him enough to let Mulder catch up and tackle him. They struggled, legs and arms flailing as they rolled a few times, until Mulder finally pinned the other man. "Hurry, Scully." he huffed, straining to hold the suspect's arms still. After a couple of tries, Scully managed to snap her handcuffs on MacGregor's squirming wrists. Then she saw that during the tussle, Mulder's kilt had ridden up past his waist. "Oh, Mulder," she whispered as she reached over to drag the kilt down to cover his bare bottom. "Wha...?" he started as her hand grazed along the soft skin of his rump while Scully pulled the heavy material back into place. She unconsciously patted Mulder's now covered backside. Then she heard giggling... ... and saw at the front of the crowd the same ogling teen-agers from before. Mulder glared at the girls as he hauled MacGregor to his feet. "C'mon Scully." xxxxx The restaurant was far enough from the Highland Games for the kilt to bring stares and whispers as Mulder and Scully were ushered to a back booth. After slipping into the booth, Mulder sprawled and sighed. "Finally I can sit like a man." Scully raised her eyebrow at him. "What?" he asked. "Nothing." "C'mon, Scully. What gives?" "This." she said as her foot touched his. Mulder jumped. "Scully!..." Then he froze as Scully's shoeless foot slid smoooooothly up his bare leg. "Scully...." His eyes widened as her foot slipped slooooooowly along his inner thigh. "Scull....." Mulder gasped as her toes found his crotch. "Scul......" She moved her foot in small strokes, up and down, uuuuuuuup and doooooooown... "Scu......." "Are you enjoying this, Mulderrrrrrrr?" she breathed. He gripped the table for dear life as he slid bonelessly down into the booth. "Sc........" "Because I certainly am." Her foot began to rub liiiiiittle ciiiircles. "S........." Mulder's head lolled back against the booth. ".........." Then they heard giggling... end Author's Notes: As I stated above, this is my first serious attempt at writing down a fanfic. I did submit a haiku to the Red Speedo Page in 1999, but for some reason they added some "the's" to it. Below is the correct version: Rising from the pool Taught stomach, sinewy thighs Speedo in-between Feedback: banlutoo@yahoo.com The conceited part of me wants the praise, the humble part doesn't, and the insecure part fears the criticism. What kind of answer you'll get depends on which part of me reads it. So send at your own risk.
