I'm not saying he's ugly. Far from it, in fact. But I'm tired of people calling him drop-dead gorgeous. His haircut's all wrong for that. And his nose. He's also way too tall. And he has a habit of losing his gun. Not that his 'gun' has anything to do with his looks. All this doesn't make him ugly. It makes him...unique. Interesting. Intriguing. David-like perfection is *un*interesting. As a friend of mine once said, it lacks character. His face, his body, reflect the character he has. I love his character. I love him. Suprise? To me, it is. I hated him. I really did. I blamed him for Melissa. My lovely Melissa, shot by that bastard. I told myself that it never would have happened, it never would have come close to happening, if I had never met up with Mulder. Been partnered with Mulder. That partnership saved me. It's saved him. I stopped hating him about the time he told me he loved me. How can you hate the man? He's like a big teddy bear that people keep trying to take the stuffing out of. It's hard to really hate a teddy bear. He is hot, though. I must give you that. I've seen women buzz around him like bees around honey. Mmm. Mulder and honey. Definitely bad for your health. I snatch up my phone as it rings, crossing over to the window. "Nobody here but the FBI's Most Unwanted." I hold my breath, waiting for his response. It's humorous. "I thought that was my line, Scully." The grin is easy to detect through the phone and for the first time in several days, I smile. It's good to hear his voice, free from all the pain They've put him through. He's not handsome. But I love him, and his soul is beautiful to me.
