Friendship

She was watching TV when a knock at her door awoke her from her haze. She didn’t take time to put on a robe and opened the door, only wearing a white lacy slip to a surprised Fox Mulder.

 “Did I interrupt something or were you waiting for me?” He leered.

She raised her eyebrow and suddenly remembered what she wore and how dishevelled she was to welcome her partner in.

 “Mulder!”  She let him inside her apartment. He seemed awkward and she suspected that something was bothering him. She put on her robe and sat on the couch.

 “What gives Mulder?”

 “I have heard about our reassignments”

 “ And…”

“Wiretapping for me and Quantico for you…They are separating us.” He said sadly.

 “ Back to square one for me…”

 “It’s all my fault, Scully. If you never were partnered with me, you would have climbed the ladder.”

 “Stop it!” She said standing and holding his gaze fiercely. “Nobody has forced me to stay. I was where I wanted to be! We are friends, Mulder and even if we can’t work together, I swear it will stay that way! “

 He smiled at her fiery temper. Who could have thought that the green FBI agent he was reluctant to have, as partner would become not only the best partner he ever had but also his best friend?

 He extended his hands and she shook it, confirming their growing friendship.
