I’ve always been choked by Mulder’s reaction toward Scully. He ditched her  more time that I care to account for and there, he’s playing hurting little boy!  It’s my version! Love it or hate it but it’s my vision!

Forgiveness

I stopped my ramblings and saw her defeated posture. Her kindness has just been used against her. Even in my angry state, I could see that. I am in love with her and I could have lost her because of this smoking bastard. How can I make her understand the dreadful fears I have to endure when I couldn’t find her? But how can I stay mad at her when she was all but abused?

 I took a decisive step toward her and she immediately came into my open arms. She was alive and I decided it was enough for me. There was no need to hurt her more by my misplaced pride. After all, I have been the king of the ditch back in the day.

 We stayed like that for what seems an eternity and when she disentangled herself from me, I could see for the first time the toll her eyes have taken from her journey through deceit. I put my arms around her shoulders and got us out of the building.

 I drove her home and once there, I ran her a bath. It was one of the rare things, apart from making love that have a calming power over her. While I was doing that, she had shed all her clothes and there she was naked next to me. She lowered herself in the tub and moaned of pleasure when her body was covered in vanilla scented bubbles. All my residual anger left me at that moment and I got rid of my own clothes to join her and enjoy her warm and living body.

 She was home and that made all the difference in the world.
