This was amazing. I think one of the most haunting things about them, IMO and obviously in yours, is that so much goes unsaid in their relationship, yet they're often thinking exactly the same thing. Yet this lack of communication is painful, yet seems obligatory, because to open up to each other means letting the other in, and to do that means that eventually, you will cause them pain.
He falls asleep first, his arm tightly around her, and she stares into the darkness and stops her walls from tumbling down. She cannot love this man. To love him and then die on him means to destroy him. This brought me to tears, babe. Honestly.
By sunrise, he knows, Scully will have rationalized her fears into a tiny box. She will ask for time and space. Her fear of commitment to anything but their quest outweighs even his obsessive drive to commit himself completely to his passions. This is perfect, and it makes so much sense when you consider their unspoken understanding that distance equals the lack of potential to hurt each other. But what they don't realize is that distance can hurt as well.
Anyway, beautiful, I'd been looking forward to this the whole month, so I was so happy to read it.
