In all the years that went by she said
She'd always love him
And from the day that he died
She never loved again
He stared lovingly at her pale, calm face and wondered what she could be dreaming about. Suppressing the urge to kiss her cheek, he covered her with a blanket and pushed back a strand of red that had fallen out of place. He looked at her once more before trying to find comfort in his own seat. Flipping through the useless TV channels on the mini screen, he found nothing could satisfy the boredom that made him twitch ever so slightly. He'd finished his book the previous night and his Discman was safely packed away at home, far from his reach. Even sleep could not collect him, for he'd had at least three cups of coffee this morning. So, he continued to stare at her in a way that was far from perverted.
"Sir?" the stewardess lightly poked his shoulder, "Would you like anything? Another cup of coffee, maybe?"
He smiled, "No thank you."
"And for your wife?"
"Wha?" he queried, "Oh... we're not together. ...And I think she's fine."
The stewardess nodded and continued on her way.
He stared at the woman beside him. The woman he barely knew but felt as if she'd been by his side since the beginning. It hurt him knowing that he couldn't peer into her thoughts, never knowing whether she hated him or loved him. Another sigh.
A barely audible moan came from her lips as she responded to her dream. It seemed as if she were in great emotional pain, as if she were losing someone. She moaned again, twitching. Then she sat still underneath the warm blanket he'd placed over her. A tear fell from her right eye as she whispered "Mulder...".
He touched her shoulder gently.
She slowly opened her eyes and turned to him, "Agent Doggett?"
He nodded. "You were dreaming about him, weren't you?"
Scully wiped the tears from her eyes, saying nothing. It was evident that she meant to say yes.
"Are you going to be okay?"
"I uh, yeah," Scully shyly replied.
Doggett placed his hand over hers. "I promise we'll find him, Agent Scully."
Scully stared into his sincere eyes, unsure of how to reply. So she fell silent and wrapped her willing arms around her new partner. She felt him kiss her head like Mulder once did. And at that moment, Agent Scully felt the love she thought she'd lost.
Should I continue? ..I don't really have any ideas, this was sort of spur of the moment. Please review!
