Summary: Scully finally gets the courage to tell Mulder she loves him,
but decides to do it through a letter.
Disclaimer: Mulder and Scully are not mine, they belong to CC, 1013, and
FOX. Go ahead. Sue me. It'll cost you more money than you'll get<g>
Author's Note: Haven't written a story in a while and I feel I should get
back in the pace of things. Sides that, I'm going through a weird
situation in my own love life right now and need to cheer myself up, plus
I've always wanted to do a story where Mulder cries because he knows the
woman he loves returns his feelings ;*)
A Little Note to say I Love You
Scully sighed as she dropped down on her couch. She curled up,
holding her knees tight to her chest, and closed her eyes. She had just
done something that would change the rest of her life in a heartbeat. It
would change both of their lives. Was it worth it? She snickered. Of
course it was, this was the man she loved. She only hoped and prayed
that he loved her back. That's why she had written the note, and slipped
it under his doorstep. Dana, you are such a chicken, she told herself.
Couldn't tell it to him face to face, had to write a note. But at least
she had done it. Now all she could do was wait.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~
Mulder whistled as he unlocked his apartment door and stepped
inside. The first thing that caught his attention was a folded light
blue note laying on the floor. He tossed the business coat that had been
slung over his arm onto the couch as he picked it up and unfolded it. It
was from Scully.
Mulder,
I'm writing you this note because I couldn't find the courage to
say this to your face.
His heart stopped. She didn't want a transfer, did she? He
couldn't think of anything else it might be. Scully always told him
everything. He lowered the paper, unable to read any more. His heart
ached. Scully and he weren't just partners, they were best friends, and
there were moments when... Well, that didn't matter right now. He had
to go talk to her, see if he could get her to stay.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scully was awakened from her nap by a soft but impatient knocking
on her door. She ran on her tip toes to answer it. Looking through the
key hole, she saw Mulder standing there with a hurt look in his eyes.
Her heart sank, but she opened the door. "Mulder. Come in."
He did as he was told, and turned to face her as she shut the
door.
"Did you get my note?" She asked quietly, looking down at her
folded hands.
"Yes," he replied just above a whisper.
"What do you think?" She whispered, bringing her eyes to meet
his.
"Well, I can't believe you didn't let me know. Things weren't
that bad at work, were they? Did I say something to offend you?" He
asked quietly with that hurt look on his face.
She looked at him confused. "What are you talking about?"
"Your note. You said you couldn't tell me to my face."
She was still confused, but finally, it hit her. He thought she
wanted a transfer. She smiled. "Mulder, how much of my letter did you
read?"
He blushed slightly. "Just the beginning, but I couldn't think
of anything else you couldn't tell me to my face. If you don't want a
transfer, what did the note say?"
She stepped closer to him, took a deep breath, and closed her
eyes. "The note said how much I love you. How much I need you. How
much I want us to be together," She said, opening her eyes and burning
them into his.
He smiled and lifted her off the floor to embrace her as hard as
he could. She laughed, and kissed his neck softly. He set her down his
arms still around her waist, and she got to see the tears slowly falling
down his cheeks as he grinned at her. She took his hands and lead him to
sit on her couch. Once there, she hugged him tight, and ran her small
hands up and down his back in a comforting motion. "Shhhhhhh, I'm here.
I love you," She whispered, kissing his neck again. She broke away a
little, and took his face in her hands, and placed a gentle kiss on each
tear. When they were gone, she kissed him sweetly and deeply on the
lips.
He ran his hands through her hair, their foreheads touching,
their lips centimeters away from each other. "I love you too," He
whispered before claiming her lips again for another sweet kiss. So her
note hadn't done what it was supposed to, but the fairy tale ending she
had wished for had come true.
The End! I hope y'all enjoyed this. Even though my heart wasn't
quite in it because it's bothered with other things right now<g> I pray
this was good anyway. Thanx for reading! K@tie
