I would have liked to have seen them get more romantic moments from season 8 onwards once it’s established that they’re definitely a romantic couple, but CC always seemed wary of writing those kind of moments annoyingly. Kim Manners talks in the commentary for the season 8 finale about how CC didn’t even want them to kiss on the lips at first, he wanted a forehead kiss, and it was David who said that no the fans deserve a proper payoff
And then we never even got to see the time in season 7 when they actually first get together...

And what a payoff, they really did a good kiss at the prison, even doing it in front of Skinner cause they didn’t care who knew!
David and Gillian fortunately squeezed in some good shipper moments in the episodes they wrote, thankfully. And thankful to them that they noticed how it was going and continued to play it like the feelings were there, despite CC being stubborn cause everyone knew Mulder and Scully only had one outcome after all the chemistry!
But yeah it was supposed to be underlying cause the point of the X-Files was supposed to be about the casefiles... but M&S grew unintentionally on the side.
