New Years Kiss  by: Rachel Schaefer
******************************

  I could feel the heat of your body and the coldness of your breath. I 
could see you staring at the television screen, waiting for the ball to 
drop, a look of anticipation slowly spreading across your face. I've often 
wondered what would happen if we ever spent New Years  together. Would we 
kiss, or would you just make a joke about aliens flying through New York in 
their shiny UFOs.

  As the countdown to the year 2000 began, I  sub-consciencely wet my lips, 
hoping that I would soon feel your lips against mine. I wanted to look over 
at you, but I knew that if I did, I'd loose the control that was keeping my 
emotions from bubbling over; the control that was keeping the walls I have 
carefully erected around my heart intact. Even after all that we've been 
through, I don't want you to see me loose control. I don't want you to think 
I'm weak.

  However, as I feel you moving closer to me, all thoughts vanish from my 
mind and I finally turn to face you. I can see the questions swirling around 
in your eyes,  and I know you can see the answers reflecting back from my 
own. I know this because I saw you smile as you leaned into kiss me. I have 
to admit that I almost fell to my knees from the sheer tenderness of the way 
you kissed me. After you broke away, I immediately missed the warmth of your 
body near mine. My pulse was pounding so loudly in my ears that I almost 
didn't hear you say," Well, the world didn't end." "No, it didn't," I 
answered back, hoping that my voice didn't betray what I was feeling.
               " Happy New Years, Scully."
               " Happy New Years, Mulder."
But as you put your arm around my shoulders and lead me down the hall, I 
knew it really would be a Happy New Year.
