Date sent: Thu, 11 Sep 1997 18:44:33 -0700 From: jayda Hello All! This is my first attempt at Fan-Fic, another one is being written, started before this, but, Is far frum being done. Um, Be gentle in your responses (send only constructive criticism please) And/or praise to: jayda@agt.net Hope to here frum ya'll soon, Yours, Jay On with the story.Oh! I nearly forgot my disclaimers!!!! WARNING: This is a MSR NON-SHIPPERS TURN BACK!!!! Disclaimer: The X-Files and Characters (Mulder and Scully) DO not belong to me, because if they did, I would not have to write Fan-Fic, I could finally get Mulder and Scully together, and I would be rich.But alas, They Belong to Chris Carter (the MAN) and 1013 Productions. The song Glycerine is also not by me, it by Bush X, (Hmm.fitting) One of my Favorite Rock bands. Now HERE IS my Story: Taking Blame By Jay Kat The rental car drove silently along the lonely road. Too silently for Mulder. He glanced over at Scully, who was fast asleep in the passenger seat. He sighed, she looked so peaceful, he was glad she got a chance to sleep. She had been really tired lately, work was constant, and combined with her illness, it often left her drained. He resisted the urge to push her hair out of her face and set his attention back on the road. The silence became too much for him, so turned the radio on, at a low volume so as not to wake his partner. He caught the begging of a song he hadn't heard, but liked the sound of. He listened to the lyrics: 'I must be your skin that I'm sinking in It must be for real 'cause now I can feel I didn't mind, it's not my kind, not my time, to wonder why. Everything's gone white, everything's grey Now you're here, now you're away. I don't want this, remember that, I'll never forget, where you're at. Don't let the days go by. Glycerine Glycerine.' "Good song," Mulder thought to himself. "Like the music, words are okay." He listened to some more: '.I'm never alone, I'm alone all the time, Are you one, or do you lie?.' He glanced at Scully. "Hhhmmm.sounds a little familiar, huh?" He smiled a small grin. We live I a wheel, where everyone steals, And when we rise it's like strawberry fields. I treated you bad, you bruised my face. Couldn't love you more, you've got a beautiful taste. Don't let the Days go by It should have been easier on you, I couldn't change, though I wanted to It should have been easier by three, Our old friend Phil and you and me. Glycerine, Glycerine.' Mulder looked over at his partner again. "Scully," He said quietly, "It's like they know how I've acted the last four years." He thought about how hard it had been on her, working with him, how much he had hurt her. Of even when he's by himself, she's always gonna come to help, no matter how much of a jerk he is. They did leave in a wheel, where everyone steals. Keep secrets, hide, dominate, intimidate, steal PEOPLE. ' Don't let the days go by, Glycerine. Don't let the days go by.... Glycerine, And she falls around me. I needed you more, you wanted *us* less We could not kiss, just regress. Am I just mean, simple and plain Well that's okay, that's just one of my names. Don't let the days go by Could have been easier on you, you, you Glycerine' The Song ended, and the DJ came on. "That was Glycerine by Bush X, from the Album Sixteen stone, concluding our top ten at ten" Adverts came on, and Mulder switched off the radio, making a mental note to buy the CD. He decided he wasn't gonna let the days go by anymore, not with out telling Scully he was sorry for hurting her, for causing her cancer and nearly getting her killed time and time again. For ditching her, leaving her behind, and that he was going to protect her from anything else. He was going to tell her he loved her, and face the consequences. He pulled the car to the side of the road. "Scully," He whispered, gently stroking her cheek. "Scully, wake up. Let's go for a walk." "What? Mulder, it's nearly 11 o'clock! Why do you want to go for a walk?" She said, a little puzzled. " I want to talk to you." She got out of the car, and followed him into one of the surrounding fields. He took her hand, Scully giving him a surprised look. They walked out to the middle of the field and stopped to sit down before either of them said anything. " Mulder, what is it?" She asked softly, touching him on the shoulder with her free hand, and giving him a concerned look. "Scully, I-" He took her hands between his, and stared stroking them. "I heard a song while you were asleep, and it made me think about all the awful things I done to you." She gave him a small smile, but he didn't let her say anything. "It made me think of all the things in our partnership we are used to, and it even made me think," a wry smile played upon his lips, "of those little 'I'm Fine Mulder's' that you throw around. I want you to know I'm sorry, I didn't mean for you to get hurt, I didn't want to leave you behind when I ditched you, I was mostly trying to protect you. I'm so sorry." She looked at him just a little blurry eyed, "Mulder. It isn't your fault.I choose to go with you, I get hurt sometimes, lord knows you do too. It happens! It-" "Dana. It is my fault. I've hurt you, I don't even know why you're here sometimes! I am responsible for your abduction, and your cancer, and I.I.I don't know how you deal with it.But I do know this, I need you around. You are my Partner, my best friend, we've been through it all. I guess what I mean is, I." he swallowed. "I love you, Dana." He couldn't look at her, so he stared at their hands. She sat a little shocked for a second, but suddenly, he felt her arms encircle him. "Fox William Mulder, none of that is your fault, you may think so, but your wrong. They are NO ONES fault, well, except for maybe Cancermans." She looked at him with a smirk. " Mulder, I need you around, you're my best friend, my partner, and hey- my mom loves you. What else could anyone ask for in a guy? I love you, too, Mulder." She chuckled and gave him another hug. Pulling away, their eyes met, locked. She took his hands, and leaned towards him. Looking him the eye one more time, she pressed her lips to his. "I never want you to blame yourself again, because no one else does, Fox." He kissed her this time, and they finally, after four years, let their love show in a farmers field in Oregon. The end. ************************************************************************************** OKay OKay...I know it's lame, but it's my first try, right? Dummy's guide to my story?
