Keywords: Mulder/Scully romance
Rating: PG
Summary: Mulder sings his feelings to Scully when he thinks she's asleep.
Archive: I don't care where. Just email me so I know where it's at.

Author's Notes: This is definately shipper, so if you don't like that kind
of thing, turn back now. I was watching an old X-Files ep, and I though
about how often Mulder watches Scully sleep, and vice versa. So, I thought
it would be kinda nifty to explor e the Mulder psyche a little. You know
how I love messing with po\eoples heads!  Thanks to: Aerosmith for writing
this awesome song. All my philer friends, especially Meryl, Molly, and
Amanda. Vince, for loving this song, and Jarrod, for being my constant
source of inspiration. I love you. 
 
I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing
by: Tumn. (Autumn Joelle)

          <Finally, she's asleep.> he thought to himself. They were in
Mulder's apartment, and they had just finished going over case files.
Scully had looked really tired, but she pushed on untill she finally fell
asleep with her head in Mulder's lap. M ulder looked donwn at her and
smiled. He thought he should get up and go to bed himself, but he didn't
want to disturb Scully. He reached for the radio remote and turned on a
local station. A song was ending, and a new song was starting. mulder
recognised
 the song as the new Aerosmith song from Armegeddon. The slow, dramatic
melody filled the room and Mulder thought about the words. 

         <I could stay awake just to hear you breathing>
         <watch you smile while you are sleeping>
         <while you're far away and dreaming> Not like Mulder hadn't
watched Scully sleep. It was one of his favorite passtimes. It was also
the only time he saw Scully relaxed. 
         <I could spend my life in this sweet surrender>
         <I could stay lost in this moment forever>
         <Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure> With
Scully's cancer ever-present, Mulder didn't want to let one moment slip
by. Every moment he spent with her could be his last. He didn't want to
waste it. 
         <I don't wannna close my eyes, I don't wanna fall asleep>
         <Cause I'd miss you baby, and I don't wanna miss a thing>
         <Cause even when I dream of you>
         <The sweetest dream'll never do>
         <I'd still miss you baby and I don't wanna miss a thing.> Mulder
didn't want to fall asleep. He wanted to watch her relaxed. He wanted to
have a chance to look at this beautiful woman in his arms. He knew that
the song was right. Even his best dreams couldn't compare to this moment. 
         <Lying close to you, feeling your heart beating>
         <and I'm wondering what you're dreaming,>
         <wondering if it's me you're seeing.> Mulder knew that Scully
didn't dream of him. He loved her with all his heart, but he didn't think
she returned his feelings. She was a professional all the way. And his
feelings were DEFINATELY unprofessional. Even as he though about the few
times they ha d been close, he realized that they were only in bad
moments. He could never just hug Scully. It just wouldn't be right. 
         <And then I kiss your eyes, and thank God we're together> Mulder
bent down and gently placed a kiss on each of her eyelids. He sliently
wished that she was having good dreams. Not her normal nightmares. 
         <I just wanna stay with you, in this moment forever.>
         <Forever and ever> Forever and ever. That's how long he would
love her. No matter how she felt, he would still love her. Mulder looked
down at her sleeping form and began to sing the words to her.
         <I don't wanna close my eyes, I don't wanna fall asleep>
         <Cause I'd miss you baby, and I don't wanna miss a thing.>
         <Cause even when I dream of you, the sweetest dream will never
do>
         <I'd still miss you baby, and I don't wanna miss a thing>
         <I don't wanna miss one smile>
         <I don't wanna miss one kiss>
         <I jsut wanna be with you, right here with you, just like this>
         <I just wanna hold you close, >
         <I feel your heart so close to mine>
         <And just stay here in this moment for all the rest of time>
         <I don't wanna close my eyes, I don't wanna fall asleep>
         <Cause I'd miss you baby, and I don't wanna miss a thing>
         <Cause even when I dream of you, the sweetest drean will never
do>
         <I'd still miss you baby, and I don't wanna miss a thing.>
         <I don't wanna close my eyes,>
         <I don't wanna fall asleep>
         <Cause I miss you baby and I don't wanna miss a thing>
         <Cause even when I dream, the sweetest dream will never do>
         <I'd still miss you baby, and I don't wanna miss a thing>
         <I don't wanna close my eyes>
         <I don't wanna fall asleep>
         <I don't wanna miss a thing.> "God Scully, if you only knew how
much I loved you," he whispered to her sleeping form. Mulder sighed as the
song came to a close, the gentle music drifting off. He reached for the
controler and shut off the radio. <Enough emotion for one night,> he told
himself. He carefully lifted Scully's head off of his lap and slid out
from underneath her.  She reached out and held onto his hand.  "I know
Mulder. And I love you just as much." Scully brought his hand to her lips
and gently kissed his palm. She smiled up at him, blue eyes shining. "Now,
come back down here. You have a comfy lap."  Mulder sat back down, and
Scully flopped her head back in his lap. "How long have you been awake?"
he asked.  "Long enough," came her reply. Mulder leaned over and gently
kissed her forehead. "Goodnight." 

ALL DONE. BYE BYE. 

M: "Scully?"  S: "Yeah?"  M: "Marry me."  S: "I was looking for something
a little more helpful." 
                      -Chinga

S: "...The very idea of intelligent alien life is not only astronomically
improbable, but at it's most basic level downright anti-Darwinian."  M:
"Scully. . . what are you wearing?" 
                     -War of the Copropages

M: "If it's no bother-if it's not too big a deal-maybe you could get me a
few photographs of the thing which bears absolutely no resemblance to a
horned beast."  S: "Sure. Fine. (Snaps on a latex glove.) Whatever. 
                    -Syzygy

S: "Those are the most paranoid people I have ever met. I don't know how
you could think that what they say is even remotely plausible."  M: "I
think it's remotely plausible that someone might think you're hot."
