Chapter 10: Feeling you
They walk holding hands, they share casual looks as they look towards the road - What are you getting at? - she says interested, Mulder's theories sometimes manage to fascinate her, he is an intelligent man - Those boys, they just swallow the pill. It's the power of suggestion - They stop on the track facing each other, he holds both her hands now swaying them a bit, she looks up at Mulder with affection.
- Is this received wisdom from your magical mystery tour? - They both smile looking at each other - Yes. Courtesy of... the shrooms, something else, something to... trump all hatred. Mother Love - she throws her head back surprised - Whoa - she replies in a total stoner voice
- I refuse to believe that mothers are having babies just to be martyrs. I want to believe that mothers have a greater purpose for all of us - he says looking away trying not to hurt her but that words are so true to her
She looks away and speaks almost in a whisper - I agree. A child is not a tool to spread hatred - He looks for her gaze and find it again
- But where does the hatred end, though? - he says almost begging for an answer - Maybe it ends where it began, by finding a common language again. Maybe that's God's will - humm God, that's a difficult subject for him
- How can we really know? He's absent from the stage - She smiles at him and he smiles back.
- Well... maybe it's beyond words. Maybe we should do like the prophets and open our hearts and truly listen - He closes his eyes and breathes in the fresh air. Suddenly he opens them again in surprise, he can hear something, an eerie trumpet-like sound far off in the distance, like the one he presented her for the case. Scully looks at him frowning - What? - Mulder looks around looking for its source - What? - she repeats trying to understand his expression
He keeps looking around - Did you hear that? - he asks her in disbelief, maybe he is going mad, her whole face is an interrogation symbol - Hear what Mulder? - she now looks at him with concern, but she doesn't get an answer - Mulder? - the sound stops and he looks at her again, she seems really concern, he laughs - God was talking to me -
She raises an eyebrow looking at him hesitantly - that's schizophrenia Mulder, you said it yourself - he smiles, she remembers each one of his sentences, if that is not love, he doesn't know what it is, he attracts her to him and hugs her tenderly, she doesn't stop him and she rests her head quietly on his chest - your heart goes very fast Mulder, Sure you feel good? - she says looking up, he looks down and into her blue eyes strangely, he feels very good - better than ever Scully, what you mean? - she puts her hand in his chest and touch his forehead with the other hand looking for a fever or something wrong, he laughs watching her - Scully look at me - he says to her holding her chin not letting her eyes look away from his - my heartbeats are faster when I hold you in my arms, you drive my heart crazy, you are the only reason why my heart beats - she stares at him in surprise and frowns trying to keep her tears from invading her eyes - I love you Scully - she breathes through her mouth and swallows nervously - I know it's too soon, that you don't wanna rush things, that many things have happened in the last five years, but my feelings haven't changed, you are the only woman I can love - tears begin to fall down her cheeks.
She finally escapes from his hand and hugs him with strength resting on his chest once more - I love you too Mulder and I will never stop doing it, and I think you know - he lets out a small laugh caressing her back - I didn't know that - he says in a high tone, she pulls away from him and hits him gently on the chest - Shut up Mulder - he smiles and she also smiles looking at him straight in the eyes, he is bringing his face closer to hers, both nervous by the reaction of the other, she doesn't take her eyes off him and also leans towards him, when their lips come together they feel an explosion, like an euphoria, it is as if two wires made short circuit, an electrical current moves through them, both close their eyes and enjoy the moment, they have been waiting almost six years for this, it's been an eternity, he holds her neck intensifying their kiss, she moans in his lips digging her fingers in his back, it's a long and sexy kiss, something they were needing, they break up the kiss to breath, their faces are the reflection of happiness, both smile widely, he bites his lip still looking at her, she notices his action and blushes slightly releasing a low laugh while looking at the floor, he sees her tender expression and holds her by the waist and thighs raising her from the floor and carrying her towards the house, she gasps surprised, but crosses her arms behind his neck looking at him with tenderness, he realizes that she is lighter and that he can carry her without much effort, he turns to see her and kisses her lightly on the lips, she corresponds to his kiss caressing his cheek, he carries her up to the second floor and puts her gently on the bed.
She looks at him nervously, they haven't been together in a long time and she already crossed the line of fifty, not to mention that he hasn't seen her in almost six years, her cravings increase while he takes off the sweatshirt along with the shirt, oh my God, he's so sexy, how he does it?, she bites her lower lip looking at his strong chest, his abdomen and his defined arms, he looks at her sensually and she feels dizzy - it's your turn Scully - he says looking at her jacket, she takes it off and pulls it aside of the bed, - no, no, the shirt too, no cheating - she gets nervous and swallows - Scully, you're beautiful, it doesn't matter if you're 40 or 80, for me you'll always be beautiful - she smiles and stands up taking off her shirt and staying closer to him, is when she notices that he has two strange marks under his collarbone.
She comes closer and puts her fingers lightly on the red marks - Mulder, what is this? - she asks worried frowning, he rolls his eyes looking at the ceiling - I don't know, they appeared yesterday afternoon, maybe the placebo was not a placebo after all - she smiles shaking her head - Oh Mulder! - they both laugh sharing a hug - Are you sure you're feeling alright? - he raise his eyebrows and holds her closer kissing her neck
- You won't escape Scully, I'm feeling great - she smiles and moans feeling his round lips on her skin, he sucks and bites here and there, he knows how to make her happy, he starts to unbutton her pants and she does the same with his, both remain stand only in their underwear kissing each other and caressing their bodies trying to be one again, remembering their selves, memorizing each part of their bodies, Mulder moves forward making her get on the bed without leaving his lips, their meeting is even better than they both remembered, their bodies were remembered each other and intertwined naturally, not longer belonging to them and becoming one, it's as if life came back to them.
