Authors Note: When I wrote this I pictured it taking place after the movie because Mulder was so hopeless. I love this song and I'm so happy I got to include it in a fic. Please r and r lovers…
Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now
I've never seen him as defeated as he was today. For six years he had run only on determination, and to see him doubt his own cause was heart stopping. He had always been the one to keep me going, our roles had been severely reversed after the hearings today. When I looked into his sad eyes, he reminded me of a lost child with no idea of what to do or where to go. He felt alone, probably as lonely as I felt. All I wanted to do was be able to comfort him.
Backbeat the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now
As we walked off together, his hand wrapped around my tiny fingers perfectly. All we needed in this twisted world of conspiracies and back stabbers was each other.
"Thank you Scully." He said as we approached the car. I couldn't imagine what he was thanking me for.
"If anyone should be thanked around here Mulder, its you. You saved my life." As I spoke I ran a finger across the slight bruise underneath my left eye.
"Well, if it wasn't for me Scully, you would have never gotten that pretty little shiner." He said with a slight smile.
And all the roads we have to walk along are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would Like to say to you
I don't know how
Six years ago I was thrown into a situation I had no control over. I walked into his basement office not really knowing what to expect. I had no idea that I would grow to care so deeply for the truth he so desperately sought, or that I would end up falling for a man they called spooky. I could have easily taken that transfer to Salt Lake City, but I couldn't. I couldn't leave him behind, I could never just forget him.
Because maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall
"I don't like it when you get so quiet." He said squeezing at my hand, trying to gain back my attention. Right then and there I should have said it to him. It was my chance to tell him everything.
Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now
"I'm just happy I stayed here, with you Mulder."
