This story takes place sometime during season 7.
The day started off like any other at the office Mulder and Scully were in there office when a new case came to them it was in Arizona a young woman was killed in her locked apartment with no point of entry at all and none of her neighbors had seen anything.
Around 2 pm Mulder and Scully climbed into their FBI Sedan and they went to the airport and they arrived in Arizona around 4.00 pm there flight was for 4 and with the time diffrence it made it four there. They were met there by another agent with a car for them and then they left for there hotel.
After checking into there hotel go check the crime scene out. Mulder climbed into the drivers seat and Scully the passenger seat. The radio came on as Mulder started the car and it was programmed to a country station. Mulder had tried to change the station but nothing else would come in so he left it there. As a new song started.
F - We've been friends for a long long time - You tell me your secrets and I'll tell you mine - She's left you all alone - And you feel like no one cares- But I have never failed you - I've always been thereM- You tell your story - It sounds a bit like mine - It's the same old situation - It happens every time
Can't we see it oh maybe you and me - Is what's meant to be - Do we disagreeF-What if I told you
M-What if I said
B-That I love you - How would you feel what would you think - What would we do Do we dare to cross that line between your heart and mineF- Or would I lose a friend
M-or find a love that would never endB-What if I said
Scully listened to the song and it seemed to fit all the things she was feeling but the question was did her partner feel the same way. He had agreed to help her try to have a child but was there anything else behind his decision. He had told her that he didn't want this to change things between them but things had changed along time ago. After all the long journeys, cases and talks. F- She doesn't love you oh it's' plain to see - I can read between the lines of what you're telling me M -And he doesn't hold you the way a woman should be held - How long can I go on keeping these feelings to myselfF-So what if I told you
M-What if I said
B-That I love you - How would you feel what would you think What would we do - Do we dare to cross that line between your heart and mineF-Or would I lose a friend
M-or find a love that would never end
B-What if I saidNow after all they had learned about each other the lives they lived before they met and things that happened as the years went on. They had no personal lives just working.
B-Oh we've both had our share of lonlinessF- So whose to say that we can't have a little happinessM-And if I found that in youF-It would make my dreams come trueM-Or would you walk awayF-Hear what I have to sayF-What if I told you
M-What if I said
B-That I love you - How would you feel what would you think - What would we doB-oh do we dare to cross that line
F-Between your heart and mineM-I've always wondered from the day we metF-What if I saidM-What if I saidB-What if I said
The song ended and it left both Mulder and Scully in silence. The song fit every aspect of their lives. All they had was each other they got to know each other and learned things that most partners would never know.
After a few minuets Mulder placed his hand on hers as he continued to drive. He squeezed and Scully squeezed back and the two looked at each other. In that moment the two knew what the other felt now they would just have to figure out how to deal with things and not lose their jobs. But for now they had each other.
That night once they got back to their hotel and sat in his room and talked. And as they did things came out. As he leaned in to kiss her she stopped and pulled away slightly "This could get both of us fired."
"Dana, shut up." he said and put his lips on hers.
