Little Light
"Are you sure you're okay?" Mulder asks her, worried.
"I'm fine...it's just...we're going to die here Mulder." Scully says, quietly. Mulder walks towards her and sits down beside her.
"We're not going to die here, Scully." He tells her.
"But we can't get out of here, Mulder. I mean-"
"Scully, we'll find a way out of here." He says, looking at her. As Scully just shakes her head Mulder grabs her hand and squeezes it.
"It'll be okay," He says. She smiles, weakly. "The sun is going to rise soon and then we'll figure something out. Maybe you should try to get some sleep."
"No! I can't sleep here. These insects were all over me just a minute ago. I'm still shaking. I think I'll just sit here and wait." She says.
"All right." Mulder says, standing up. Instantly Scully takes hold of his wrist. He turns around to look at her.
"Umm...Mulder. Oh, nothing." She says, suddenly feeling embarrassed. She shakes her head and and lets go of Mulder's wrist.
"Just tell me, Scully."
"Can you...stay here?" She asks a bit shyly. He nods, understandingly and sits down beside her again, smiling slightly. "Thank you." She whispers.
A little later Scully's head is resting on Mulder's shoulder with her eyes closed. She is sleeping, soundly. Mulder smiles. He wraps an arm around her middle and holds her close to his body. He leans back against the wall, bringing her with him, carefully not to wake her. Scully stirs slightly in her sleep while Mulder tries to make them more comfortable. Mulder is now half sitting half lying against the wall and Scully is lying on the 'bed', her head now resting in his lap. He looks down at her beautiful face. Her lips are slightly parted, letting out the softest snore he had ever heard.
Suddenly a man is standing in front of the 'bed'. It's Dirk. He gives Mulder a smile and hands over a blanket. "Thank you." Mulder says. Dirk nods and sits down on a chair right under the one and only bulb that keeps them alive. Mulder chuckles at the sight of the man sitting right under the bulb but it quickly turns into a frown at the thought of what could happen to them if the bulb would conk out.
He sighs and looks down at his sleeping partner. She looks so peaceful. A few strands of hair has fallen in front of her eyes. He reaches over and pushes them behind her ear. Deep in thought he caresses her cheek. "We're not going to die here. I'll not let that happen. I'm going to protect you, Scully. I promise..."
