The Sound Of Rain
It was mid April and they were in a small cabin in the middle of the Appalachian mountains. The rain was pounding down on the roof and Dana Scully was staring pensively out the small window. Mulder had gone off to the small general store three hours ago. It was about an hour there and an hour back. He should have been back already. He did not usually go places alone (or even our at all) but she'd woken up with a fever and they needed supplies. She bit at a nail as she thought of all of the things that could have happened to him. She decided to turn her attention back to her book. Before she knew it she had fallen into a feverish sleep.
She woke up as Mulder carried her into the tiny bedroom. The sounds of Mulder's Elvis collection met her ears softly. When he felt her move he smiled at her. He laid her on the bed and brought the covers up around her and then went back into the other room.
He came back a moment later holding some Tylenol and a glass of water, "Here Scully." He said as he handed them over, "Do you want some tea? Or some soup?"
Her throat was very sore but she wanted him to stay with her. He seemed to sense this and climbed in the bed with her.
"Mulder you will catch my fever." Scully said weakly with no real meaning.
Mulder just smiled at her and pulled her close.
"Your body feels like it's on fire. I doubt your fever has gone down at all."
Scully shook her head into his chest and inhaled his sent. He smelled like the forrest and rain and a smell that was particularly Mulder. It calmed her.
She listened to his heartbeat and felt her own beating in time with him in her head.
He ran his fingers over her face and she capture d his hand. His fingers were so long and elegant. She thought of all of the things that his fingers to to her and her face grew a little more warm. She traced each finger and drew patterns against his skin. He kissed her forehead and kept his lips pressed against her temple.
She felt herself drifting off again as Mulder sang along softly to "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You". Scully smiled into his chest and fell asleep.
