Man Scully is going to be pissed...maybe she won't even ask me and then she'll never find out what I did. God I need aspirin...bathroom, now!
"Mulder...Mulder? are you okay?"
"Absolutely great Scully...can you hand me the toothpaste."
"Sure. You should go back to bed Mulder."
"Okay."
"Here, take my hand. I'll take you there."
"Thanks Scully."
XXXXXXX
"Scully...I know I've been sleeping for a while and it's actually a bit late to be asking this but...shouldn't we be in work by now?"
"No, Skinner gave us the day off - he told me earlier when he phoned for you. Mulder what WAS all that about? What did you say to Skinner last night? He sounded pretty strange on the phone when he was talking to me but he was majorly pissed off at you."
"Yeah, I know he was pissed off - with very good reason - but ummm...I don't really think you want to know why Scully."
"Yes, yes I do Mulder."
"Before I tell you about that - because I really think you're going to be mad at me...I need to know who it is Scully."
"Who what is?"
"What you were going to tell me last night. I realise I was being a chicken by pushing you out the door. Even more so by going and getting drunk so I would forget but I was also not being a good friend. I value our friendship so much Scully and I want you to be able to tell me anything - not just good things."
"Mulder..."
"No Scully, I wasn't being a good friend and I was just being selfish, thinking only that it was going to hurt me. I didn't even think about the fact that you obviously wanted to tell me and get my advice about it so...tell me. Tell me who it is that you're in love with."
"It's...you."
"I really don't want it to be Skinner or any of the guys but I suppose it's not my choice I just don't...what? What's me?"
"It's you that I'm in love with Mulder."
"Wh..what?"
"I thought you knew that - I thought you guessed it last night."
"Do you really think I'd have hurried you out the door and then destroyed my living room if I knew that it was me that you were in love with?"
"Yes...I thought you didn't feel that way about me. I thought you went and got drunk because you were so repulsed by the very idea. I didn't even think that you might have understood wrongly what I was trying to say. So it wasn't that you don't like me like that?"
"I don't believe you even need to ask me that. I love you so much that it drove me crazy to even think that you were with another guy."
"You love me...really?"
"More than life, more than anything Scully."
"Oh my God...I can't believe this."
"Come here Scully...I want to say it while you're in my arms. Maybe then you'll believe it...I love you Dana Katherine Scully."
"I love you too Fox William Mulder. I...Mulder what happened to your hand?"
okay not great, I'm holding the woman I love in my arms and just as we were about to kiss for the first time she goes and notices the evidence of my stupidity - damn!
"Ummm..."
"Mulder..."
"I kinda punched the wall after you left."
"We need to get this cleaned and bandaged - it could get infected otherwise."
"Are you going to kiss it better? ...thank you. Now I think there might just be a cut on your mouth that needs some loving attention, right about...here."
Oh my God...Mulder just kissed me and he's going to kiss me again. Wow...this man can kiss! What the hell am I doing just sitting here then? ...kiss him back!
I'm kissing Scully and God! She's kissing me back. I never want to stop, I could stay like this forever...well I suppose we do need to breath.
"Wow...Mulder that was..."
"Yes, it was! Wanna do it again?"
"Definitely...but we really do need to get your hand sorted. Come through to the bathroom with me and I'll clean it up."
"Okay Scully."
"Mulder...when you said that you had destroyed your lounge...you really weren't joking were you?"
"Ummm...no."
"You did all that just because you thought I was in love with someone else?"
"You say that as if it's a small thing - it's not. My world had just fallen apart Scully...you ARE my world. When I thought I'd lost you...well suddenly my computer didn't seem all that important."
"Oh here you."
"What about my hand? I thought we were going to take care of that before...wait, why am I complaining?"
"I have no idea G-man."
XXXXX
I thought cuddling with Scully this morning was good - lying here with her naked in my arms, it's just perfect. ...good, she's turning round. Maybe she'll be up for round three...on second thoughts, her face doesn't seem to suggest that that's what she's thinking about. Crap - that's not a good expression.
"Mulder...you never did tell me what the conversation with Skinner was all about."
"Damn...you mean you haven't forgotten all about that?"
"No Mulder, I haven't. ...So come on, tell me."
"First promise that you're not going to be too mad at me."
"Mulder...what did you do?"
"Ummmm..."
"Mulder you know I could easily just get out of this bed right now and not come back in until you tell me. So you can either tell me while we're lying in each other's arms or you can..."
"Okay, okay. I'll tell you...just please don't leave."
"I'm not going anywhere, now spill!"
"Well...you know how I told you that I didn't know that it was me that you were in love with - that I thought it was someone else?"
"Yeeesss."
"I kinda had it in my head that it was Skinner."
"What?! You thought I was in love with Skinner...wait, you phoned Skinner. To tell him what...Mulder?"
"Please don't hit me Scully...I told him that you loved him."
"Mulder! I don't believe you...that's not all, is it?"
"No..."
"Tell me!"
"I told him off for sleeping with you - told him that he shouldn't because he was your boss. Although I wasn't exactly as...polite as that when I told him."
"Oh my God. I'm never going to be able to face him again. Mulder!!"
"I'm really sorry Scully...in my defence I was very drunk and had just had my heart trampled on by the most wonderful woman in the world."
"Sweet talking is not going to get you anywhere."
"Are you sure? ...I could go on for hours listing all the amazing things about you."
"Mulder..."
"Okay, I get it. No more trying to weasel my way out of this. I promise I'll make it up to you Scully - I'll do anything. I would do anything for you anyway but now..."
She can't be that mad with me...not if she's kissing me like that. Thank God. I thought for a second that she was going to get out of the bed. ...Ohhh - it appears that we won't be getting out of bed for a while now.
XXXXX
Wow...I want to stay here forever. Being in Mulder's arms...it's just perfect. I'm so glad we got this sorted out - although I could have done without him telling Skinner that I loved him, I mean come on! ...Hang on a sec...Mulder mentioned the guys earlier, why would he mention them unless...God, tell me he didn't!
"Mulder, when you were talking about Skinner earlier - before I told you that I loved you - you mentioned the Gunmen..."
"Um yeah...I don't think you'll want to be going near them for a while."
"ALL of them?!"
"Yeah...I'm really sorry."
"Mulder, I really don't believe you. ...Is that everyone you told now or are there any more?"
"That lab tech - you know the one that always tries to flirt with you and you always are completely oblivious to his efforts. I think his name's Brown - you might want to avoid him aswell."
"Mulder!"
"I'm so sorry Scully...I really am. I don't know what else I can do but I promise you that I will do whatever it takes. I'm sorry."
"Don't worry about it Mulder - I'll get you. Just when you least expect it, I'll get you."
"Damn...well if you're not mad at the moment - you mind if I 'get' you."
"Not at all. I still love you no matter what you did."
"I love you too Scully - never doubt that. Please don't forget it either when you're scheming to get me back"
"Oh I won't Mulder...now, I believe you said you were going to 'get' me?"
"It will be my pleasure. Oh...and yours."
The END
