I admit it. Call me egotistical, narcissistic, self-righteous, obsessive- compulsive. I'll give you that. I've spent my whole fucking life in a basement, chasing UFO's and ghosts and invisible telepathic psycho-vampires like I'm fucking Batman or something. I'm an addict, so sue me. An addict...addicted...trapped. Writhing in an intricate little web I call Scully. She's the reason I'm still here, you konw, still waving my gun around like a lunatic and still fastened to the belief that some form of rational Truth is still Out There. But you know something? I like it. Oh yeah, I like it a lot. I don't mind the stares, the wise-cracks, the sneers of every dumbfuck that makes up the Federal Bureau as Spooky Mulder strolls on by. I still have my Scully. My dignity (what's left of it), my hope, my will is in her, in the flames that dance wildly between our eyes. Hiding in the inaudible conversations, we share and find our own Truth buried inside the hypnotising depths of silence. So much fire has passed between us since that shadowy morning when that cocky young redhead waltzed into my poor excuse for an office and grasped my heart in her hands like a demon its flames. So much fire...so much unspoken expression...and yet I am so unsatisfied. That night in the hallway of my apartment, when she looked at me with those fiery eyes welled up with tears, I was so hungry I could taste her. I could feel her mouth collapse into mine and melt into me warm and soft and sweet. It took more will than I have ever summoned not to seize her in my arms and fuck her so hard that the only word left on her name was my name. There was so much in her eyes in that hallway. All the deepened looks and *meaningless* touches swirled into millions of brilliant beads of blue. God, Scully's eyes. So much depth and courage and strength that can strip a man bare to the bone with the lift of an eyebrow. But when I leaned in for her, tried to capture some of her fiery passion to call my own, I saw all that fall away, layer by layer, until a vulnerable, wide-eyed child stood staring up at me like I was the boogie-man. But I swear I saw a flash in her eyes, the exact moment she knew. I swear I saw a flame of desire curl and lick at her lashes. I swear I saw her gently close her eyes and I SWEAR she would've kissed me back. But that shock in her eyes, as she seemed to realise I was swooping in for the kill, made my heart race with rage. Don't you know, Scully? I wanted to scream. Haven't you seen me loose myself in your eyes every time our glances meet? Don't you remember all the times I've stumbled over my words and my wise- cracks as if there was a little more in my statements than humor? Have I been such a selfish bastard that you couldn't possibly know how dependent I am of you, how something inside me whithers every time you add another lost night of sleep to your burden because of my crusades? You feed my hunger, Scully, when you're there. All the answers in the world couldn't compare to the knowledge that you stand next to me on my quest. Dammit, Scully. I'm an addict. I'm addicted to you. And there's no way on earth I'm giving you up. Even if you end up killing me, Scully. I wonder what the board of directors would say if they heard that they have a world class, state-of-the-art drug-dealer representing the Bureau......
