Mulder woke up confused at why he was in a hospital bed with his arms
rapped around a sleeping Scully. She was halfway in the bed and half off.
She was sitting on the edge with her feet on a chair next to the bed and
she must have rapped his arms around her.
He figured he was either dreaming...but why a hospital he hated them. He then started to remember men in white and feeling very tired and blurred vision and then...so that's why. It wasn't a dream, he must have been in a car accident yesterday.
He didn't care he was there and with Scully now. His eyes started to droop and he tightened his grip on Scully slightly but not so much as to hurt her.
******************** Scully couldn't sleep much she had just dosed off when she could have sworn she felt Mulder tighten his arms around her. She looked up but he was still the same.
She felt his warm breath on the back of her neck and it sent chills up her spine. That breath was her reassurance that he was ok and that is what got her through the night and let her fall back asleep.
*********************
Mulder woke up again this time because he had to go to the bathroom. He looked down at Scully slightly snuggling into him and smiled.
Then a thought flashed through his mind. She thought their friend ship was a mistake. She was probably only hear because she felt sorry because he didn't have anyone else. He didn't want her sympathy.
He decided that the bathroom was not going to wait. He called the nurse and she came right in.
"You're up! That's wonderful!"
The nurse saw Scully and knew that she was not getting a lot of sleep lately. She decided to shush her voice when she saw her.
"Well you can go home I guess as soon as your doctor gives you a quick check we were just waiting for you to wake up. I mean with how long it's been your lung healed and everything."
"Lung?"
"Oh of course you don't know...you have been in a coma for quite sometime now and when you were you left lung collapsed because of the...accident " Scully was beginning to stir, Mulder didn't want to have to face her.
"Look so I am okay to get out of bed?" He asked getting impatient because of his bathroom needs.
"Yes of course.." The nurse was puzzled. "Why?"
"Bathroom..." Was all Mulder said.
"Oh well then I will just leave and I will be back with your paper work so you can go."
"Good." Mulder said under his breath.
Mulder got up, not even trying to be careful because of his rage toward the nurse for asking so much and at Scully for not telling him herself and for taking sympathy on him.
He ended up knocking her to the floor and waking her up. He didn't look back he just strode into the bathroom holding his hospital gown closed in the back.
*************************
Scully woke up very unpleasantly being knocked to the floor by Mulder...wait MULDER?!?!? He was awake! But why would he knock me to the floor?
She got up and knocked on the bathroom door...no answer. Mulder are you okay?
Her only answer was the flush of a toilet. Mulder walked past her and sat in his bed stone faced and starring at the wall. Scully could see anger written all over it but didn't know why.
"Mulder...you're starting to scare me...what's wrong?"
When he looked at her she saw something she thought she would never see in his eyes, hate...not the playful little 'I hate you' that you say to a brother or sister after they tell on you but down right I-wanna-kill hate.
Tears were forming in her eyes and her voice was rather choked.
"Mulder...come on talk to me...I can help that's what best friends are for..."
She got a yea-right-tell-me-another-one scuff out of him.
"...well I can try to help..." Just then, the nurse walked in with the paper work and Mulder signed it. Scully handed him a bag of clothes and he grabbed it from her hand very roughly. He took it to the bathroom and changed then walked right past Scully with out a word and left.
Scully ran after him.
"Mulder? Mulder wait what's wrong!"
Mulder decided to take the stairs and not stand there waiting with her. She followed him though. As he turned to go down she could see a tear going down his cheek. She finally got up with him and turned him around to face her.
"MULDER WHATS WRONG! Did I do something?" Tears were now running down her cheeks. "Tell me what I did wrong. Tell me what I did to make you so mad!"
"SCULLY STOP PRETENDING! IT'S OKAY YOU DON'T HAVE TO! BILL TOLD ME EVERYTHING!"
"What? What does Bill have to do with us?"
"US HA! WHAT US SCULLY? YOU MEEN THE US THAT USED TO BE FRIENDS? THE US THAT I COULD TURN TO AND BE SURE OR WHEN EVERYTHING ELSE WAS GOING WRONG! OR THE US THAT WAS BEST FRIENDS? THE US THAT I COULD TURN TO WITH MY PROBLEMS AND MY THREE IN THE MORNING BORDNESS! HUH? WHICH US SCULLY?!?!? BECAUSE BOTH OF THEM ARE GONE! YOU WANT THEM GONE! BILL TOLD ME ABOUT YOUR TALK! HE TOLD ME ABOUT HOW YOU THOUGHT IT WAS ALL A MISTAKE! WELL YOUR WISH IS MY COMAND! DON'T WORRY AGENT SCULLY! I'LL SEE YOU IN WORK TOMORROW!"
With that Mulder walked away leaving Scully to soak in all she just heard.
