He got up out of bed and squinted at his clock which blinked 3.32am at him out of the darkness.

He gave a yawn and quickly pulled on a pair of dark jeans and buttoned up a dark blue shirt onto him. He was crazy, he knew it but it didn't stop him from grabbing his keys and running out the door. He was going to tell her he loved her, for sure.

He drove hastily around the neighbourhood until he pulled into Scully's street and pulled up along side her apartment. He jumped out of his car and ran up the stairs 3 at a time until he got to her door gasping for air. He knocked gently on the brown wooden door and waited. He knocked alittle harder until the door opened to reveal Scully, who under her messed up hair, held a glare.

'Mulder' She said in an angry tone. 'It's like 4ish in the morning'

'I know' He said confidently giving her a smile. 'Just thought I'd say hi'

She looked at him incredulously and shook her head. 'It's too early for this' She mumbled.

'I need to tell you something, it's really important' Mulder said walking past her and into her apartment.

Scully's heart skipped a beat as her mind begged to hear what was so important and she couldn't stop that voice in her head telling her this may be what she has wanted to hear for a very long time. She sat down on the sofa with Mulder next to her and waited in anxious silence for him to speak.

'Scully, I've known you for a very long time and lately.errr.recently.well ok not recently, I think I've thought this for a while, well not thought really more like felt because what I feel is not a thought-'

'Mulder' Scully snapped, stopping his ramblings.

'Well ok this is the thing, it's complicated and weird and complicated and a bit more weird' Scully was losing patience fast and started to sigh heavily. 'Ok, I'm just going to say it.I.err.I.. think..I.' Love you, his head screamed at him. '..like you' he finished.

'You like me?' Scully said barely holding back the tears and realisation of what he was saying. 'That's it? You came round here at some unearthly hour to tell me you like me?'

Mulder wanted to stab himself right on the spot and was mentally swearing words at himself. Damn him for being weak and pathetic. 'mmm' Mulder got out as he stood up and looked down at Scully who was lazily wiping at her eyes. Was she crying? Why was she crying? He thought to himself.

'What's wrong?' He said immediately concerned.

'Go Mulder' She said not looking up at him.

Without another word he walked out and down the steps to his car where he kicked a lamp post hard in frustration. He walked up and down by his car on the side walk until he got so angry at himself he wanted to scream. That's it, he thought to himself. I'm going to do something on instinct because it feels right. He walked back up to her door and knocked again. He waited for the second time.

'What?' Scully said knowing who it was as she opened the door to fix her eyes on Mulder. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying and Mulder without thought reached up a thumb to brush lightly against her cheek. Scully shut her eyes as his fingers cupped her face gently.

He tilted her head upward to meet his as he pressed his lips against hers gently. She gave a slight moan as he arm reached around her body to pull her closer. He didn't want to let her go, not ever but he had to. He pulled back slightly to rest his forehead against hers.

'I'm sorry' He whispered before letting her go, turning round and walking back to his car. Scully watched him go, as hurt filled her bones but she couldn't ignore the tingling that consumed her stomach that made her almost smile as she watched his figure leave. She touched her lip gently and walked back into her apartment in a daze. She wasn't dreaming and she was pleased.
