Ficlet based on this post by @unremarkablehouse speculating about conversation between never again and memento mori. In this they didn’t talk at all between.
Mulder was about to leave for work when his phone rang. “Mulder.”
“Hey, Mulder, it’s me.” Scully said on the other side of the phone. He was still a little mad at her for putting herself in danger and bailing on the case. He knew she was still very mad at him for sticking his nose where it (arguably) didn’t belong.
She was probably already at the office, calling him to tell him that he needed to hurry up. “What?” He asked harshly. Maybe too harshly. Her heard Scully draw a shallow breath on the other end but she remained silent. “Scully, what is it?” He prompted a little more gently. Maybe she was going to apologize, which would give him a perfect chance to do so in turn.
He hated fighting with her. Not initially, not when the adrenaline was coursing through his body and his head was light with anger. Afterwards though, he felt hollow. Felt a pang when he stopped himself for reaching for the phone to tell her about a world war two documentary she should watch, or a tip he just received, or just to say hello. “Can you-“ she started, then he heard a rustling as Scully pulled the phone away from her ear. He heard someone else talking in her side.
“Dr. Scully, we have more scans, if you’d like to speak with Dr. Andrews abouts treatment plan she’s available now, your belongings are in the other room. He heard more rustling.
“Hey. Sorry.”
“Sorry? Scully what treatment plan? Whats going on?” He was frozen next to the door of his apartment, hand on the door knob, as he became vaguely away of the sound of beeping and buzzing florescent in the background.
“Mulder, can you meet me at the hospital?” She said suddenly after remaining silent for another handful of heart beats. His keys nearly slipped from his hand.
“Is this about a case?”
“No,” she responded tersely.
“I’ll be right there, Scully,” he said, opening his door and not bothering to lock it behind him as any feelings of animosity for her melted and drained through his feet back into the ground where they belonged. “I’ll be right there.” And then she hung up on him. Flowers, he needed flowers.
Thank you for the characters Chris Carter but we’ll take it from here.

Reason number one: Kit Young and I have the same birthday. Number two *leans closer to mic* "I don't blow things up, i shot them with style *winks*. And I look good *pushes back hair sauvely*" Thank you for coming to my TedTalk
started watching the x-files i need these freaks to have premarital sex on their little fbi desk yesterday
The season one dynamic is so important to me because you watch the first episode and you’re like “they’re gonna bone” even though they don’t really trust each other and its just this first time field agent who knows exactly what shes doing in theory but has never actually experienced any if this and this vetted agent who was renown for his profiles with violent crimes who every just thinks is crazy but the take each other so seriously from the get go and why the fuck are they standing that close to each other and then at the end of the season (which i estimate to be about a years worth of time) scully, who holds her job and success over everything else, is ready to lose her job to protect Mulder and he is mostly ready to give up the xfiles (in name atleast, you cant really have mulder without the xfiles) for the same reason.
They’re not friends, they’re not coworkers, they’re not romantically or sexual invoved they are a secret fifth thing
Let me tell you a secret, have you ever heard that greek myth where humans were made with two faces and four arms and legs until they got split in half and thats where soulmates came from? That was actually written to describe the relationship of Fox Mulder and Dana Scully
Someone give me an x-files fic prompt to work on tomorrow can be fluffy or angsty or hurt comfort but I haven’t yet finished season 8 so nothing after that please (ignore that i havent worked on A Muse, A Myth, A Mortal all week, I’ll get around to it)
Blood loss? No I know exactly where it is
I just realize a posses a very similar shirt now i just need a cheeky little brown vest
Wow! I just finished the last episode of the hit tv series the xfiles to ever air, i just finished s8e21 existence from the tv show the x files comprised of 8 season and 1 movie! Such a happy ending!
If youd like to listen to me ramble about it I do that now and also i write fanfiction (a HeavyOnTheTragedy on AO3)
