I think there'd be much less fascination and curiosity going on in both their heads were they already involved at this point.
yeah, i think that's a big part of what made me assume they were not yet sleeping with each other. ultimately that's what i thought too. on the other hand, i just can't ever see mulder and scully exchanging words about masturbation. i completely believe they would masturbate in each other's bodies (how can that be so squick and so damn hot at the same time?) but i don't believe they would EVER cop to it. even if scully had noticed her body sporting that telling rosy glow, she would have said nothing. mulder's comment about 'driving stick'? i just can't fathom it. even if they were sleeping with each other i'd have a hard time with the idea of mulder and scully talking about it using those terms.
it didn't make me dislike the story. in fact, i think the story needed that sexy bit of kick and was made better for it, really. but all the same, it wasn't something i had an easy time accepting coming from anybody's version of mulder and scully.
Whee for newcomers to the story and good discussion!
i, er- i think i was looking for smutty crackfic one day and found this and scanned it and decided it probably wasn't smutty enough and back clicked, which is why this seemed familiar somehow. HOW SHAMEFUL IS THAT! shhh, it's a top secretiest secret.
