Disclaimer: I've said it many times before, I'll say it again. I don't own anything. I am a poor 14 year old, the only thing I can take claim on is the story in itself and the extra characters (who are very brief)
~**~**~**~
I, Dana Katherine Scully, have broken the cardinal rule. I fell in love with my partner. I cannot tell you when exactly I fell in love with him, for im sure it was long ago, but I can tell you when I realized it. It wasn't when I had my cancer, as one might think, but after that. You would think that during what I thought were my last moments on earth I would realize just how much he meant to me. But no, im way to stubborn for something like that.
The way I realized it is what strikes me as odd. We had just received a ass chewing from AD Skinner, well really Mulder was more of the receiver I just sat back and enjoyed the show. Never have I had so much fun at a cinema.
We were back in our office and I was extremely bored so I took out my laptop and singed onto AOL, under the name IceQueen no less. Hey, its better that putting D-Scully or something like that. Well I was checking an e-mail mom sent me when an IM popped up. From one SpookyFox. I chuckled inwardly and looked up at where Mulder sat at his desk. He was staring at his computer screen, oblivious to the fact I was looking at him.
I looked back down at the screen and read what he wrote, 'Tisk, tisk. Shouldn't you be writing a field report or something Scully? I mean you're suppose to be working, are you not?'
'What about you G-Man? Shouldn't you be working too? And no, I don't have a field report to write, unlike you who I happen to know for a fact haven't written one yet.'
'Ah Scully, I'll do it later…' He wrote giving just a hint of whine.
'Sure. Fine. Whatever.'
'Oh, don't start that again Scully. You know I hate that.'
'Yes, yes I do.'
'Ha, ha, your so very funny Scully.' He wrote adding a small smiley face icon that resembled an alien way to much; a little unnerving I must say. My smiley faces, however, are normal.
'Mulder, your smiley face is an alien.'
'I know. Cute little bastard ain't he?'
I laughed out loud, causing Mulder to look at me from over the rim of his computer. I held his gaze and he typed without looking away from me, a ding tore me away from his eyes and I look down at the screen.
'So you do know how to laugh. Never in a million years would I have guessed.'
'You learn something new everyday Mulder.'
We talked for a little bit more, nothing very important. What happened at the end of our conversation is what makes all the difference. I was just about to shut off when another IM popped up on my screen.
'Scully, can I ask you something?'
'Sure Mulder, what is it?'
'What color underwear are wearing?'
'Shut-up Mulder.' Was the last thing I said before logging off. When done I looked over the top of my computer at Mulder who was looking at me with one of those irresistible smiles. I swear no matter how much he pisses me off all he has to do is flash one of those smiles and im like putty in his hands. I smiled back and his smile only grew in size. I could feel my smile growing as well. Since its after 5 now I stand up to leave, I reached the door and he called out to me.
"Scully."
I turned around, "What is it Mulder."
There it was again that smile, I think he does it on purpose, "Your not wearing any are you?"
Feeling bold I raised an eyebrow and looked him square in the eye, "No Mulder im not."
His eyes grew big and he faked a faint. I chuckled and walked out the door. Before making my way to the elevator I turned around and walked back into the office. "Go home Mulder, it a Friday afternoon, and after 5. Work is over for the next two days."
That earned me a look, "Why Scully? I have no life…other than work and you."
I store at him for a while my head cocked to the side just a bit, since no words formed in my mind I just shook my head and walked out the door. It was only when the doors to the elevator closed I had realized what he'd said to me.
He'd basically told me that besides work I was his life. My mouth hung open for a few seconds until the elevator reached its destination. When the doors opened I forced my mouth to close and walked briskly to my car. When safe inside I could feel tears sting but fought them back…then I drove home, my mind buzzing the whole way. It was in the afternoon traffic that I realized what he said applied to me. Besides work (and my family of course, mostly my mother) Mulder was my life. Then I allowed the tears to fall.
Yes, it was at that moment that I knew I had broken the cardinal rule and fallen in love with my partner. I know that it's a bit of a strange time to realize something of such magnitude but nobody ever said working with Fox Mulder was going to be easy, so why should being in love with him be easy?
Though I could never openly admit this there is one thing I have to get off my chest…
I, Dana Katherine Scully, am in love with Fox William Mulder.
