Trust


She left Modell's hospital room and waited for Mulder in the
hallway. She was still shaken from the events of the afternoon:
Mulder hesitating to kill her but not himself. It could have
been him, unconscious in this hospital bed but fate have
allowed her to save him.

She wouldn't have survived if he had killed himself. She loved
him so much and she never had the nerves to pour her heart out.
But what if death tear them apart before she gathered the
strength to tell him how much he meant to her?

He joined her and put his hand in his usual spot at the small
of her back and steered her silently out of the hospital. Once
out, they climbed in the car but she didn't started the engine.
They eyes met and she saw so much sadness here that she felt
compelled to find a way to level his spirits.

" My place or mine" She asked trying to keep from laughing at
his surprised expression.

"Why Agent Scully, you proposing me?" He leered.

" In your dreams. I was thinking about tea and watching TV
before going to bed"

"Together?"

"For the tea and the TV but for the bed, I am afraid that Fbi
Regulations are against fraternization between partners!"

" Your loss, Scully".

They were silent a long moment after the easy banter. She
wanted so much to tell him how she felt but there wasn't the
time for that. She didn't want to open her heart to him after a
dramatic ordeal. She didn't want him to take her feelings for
pity.

"Thank you Scully for being there for me"

"That's what friends and partners are for. "

" I trust you, Scully"

"I trust you too".

She started the engine after this unusual declaration of mutual
love.
