Ok, so I've become really invested in this story. I'm having fun writing it. I am going away until Thursday though, so this will be the last update until then. Thanks for the reviews everyone!
It was nearly three o'clock in the morning when they both finally agreed on a movie to watch. The general consensus was that they had to watch something funny after the horrible movie they had been forced to watch earlier that night. Scully waited patiently for her partner whole he took a quick shower. She tried as hard as she could to seem unfazed when he stepped out of the bathroom in only a white towel. She paid close attention the small drips of water that ran from his wet hair down his chest. She thanked the lord that he didn't see her gawking. He swiftly slipped on a pair of flannel pants and hopped playfully on to the bed.
"I'm ready when you are." He said as he sat comfortably up against the backboard of the bed.
"For the movie, Mulder?" She asked playfully. She surprised herself with her forwardness.
"Of course, what else would I be talking about?" he grabbed the channel selector from her hand, leaving his hand over hers for a brief moment.
"I'll take care of this." He said as he flicked quickly through the channels. He stopped when he found the movie they had both agreed on. Purposely he reached across her body to turn the light off. His plan was painfully obvious to the both of them. As he turned the light off her felt her small hand resting on his bare side. He immediately looked directly in to her eyes. That's when he saw it again, that look he had seen the last time they made love.
"I have only one request." He whispered softly as he dropped his face closer to hers.
"What would that be?" She asked meeting his gaze.
"I don't know if I can fall asleep next to you and wake up alone again." After he ended the sentence he kissed her lips quick and softly.
"I promise it won't happen Mulder." She said reassuringly.
He rolled over so his body was hovering over hers. He rested his arms on each side of her supporting his body. They met each other half way with a kiss. Unlike the first time, this kiss was less hungry and more passionate. They paid very close attention to each other and there movements. Scully slowly slid her body underneath his until she lie flat on her back. Pulling down on his back, she pressed their bodies together. The weight of his body on hers made her feel safe. In response, he began to let his hands wander up the shirt he had given her. Her petite body reacted immediately to his cold touch.
"Sorry. I guess that's from the shower." He apologized with a smile. She grabbed his adorable face in her hands and pressed her lips against his. Within a few seconds they were both completely undressed.
"I want this to be perfect this time." He whispered in to her ear between kisses. The sincerity in his voice struck a chord in her heart.
"It already is." She replied, he eyes showing the slightest sign of tears.
That night was indeed perfect. They held on to each other tightly the entire time, as if they were afraid to let go. When the morning finally came and Mulder opened his tired eyes she was still there, watching him sleep.
