Was it the Truth?

Scully sighed, then shook her head, "Mulder. How can I ask you to change yourself when I love you just the way you are?"

Mulder stopped, eyes wide, "What was that?" He asked, then for once fell silent.

Scully didn't know what to say. She hadn't meant to say that, not at all. Pull it together Dana! She told herself. But, she could only look at him. Had he heard her right? What if he took it the wrong way? What if he took it the right way?

The two agents just stared for a minute, then Scully broke the silence, "I'm sorry," she whispered.

Mulder took two steps towards her, "For what?"

"For saying that," she breathed looking down at the sheet and pulling at a thread.

"Even if it was the truth?" Mulder said softly.

"Especially if it was the truth," Scully mumbled and chanced a glance upwards.

Mulder was now right next to her. He sat down on the tiny night stand and reached over to put a hand on her shoulder, "Was it the truth, Scully?"

She shrugged his hand off, "I don't really want to say, Mulder," if she affirmed, he might kiss her, and then, then, they would stop thinking about their problems, leaving them behind in place of lust. And the problems would just it worse.

"You're thinking too much," he told her, putting his hand on her face.

Scully knew he was right, but now pushed his hand off. She saw the hurt in his face, but pushed forward, "I know," she began, but as he leaned closer she muttered, "Don't you dare kiss me, Fox Mulder!"
