Summary
He would rather stick his fingers in a wall socket than hurt or upset her, ever. He keeps waiting for this love to start hurting the way he knows all love hurts at some point down the road. But he’s loved her for years and here they are. Tentatively, timidly, his soul is still reaching for hers, asking it to soothe old hurts and pain. He doesn’t know how he’s ever going to be able to be enough, but he’ll try, he’ll try. And hope that eventually, maybe, one day he will deserve her, if he just tries hard enough.
In which Mulder learns what it truly means to be a whole person to someone.

Summary
"The course of true love never did run smooth."
-William Shakespeare (A Midsummer Night's Dream)Scully reluctantly attends a weekend team-building conference, a task she was meant to tackle alongside Mulder. However, Mulder abandons her last minute to chase down a case in New Mexico, leaving her feeling frustrated and stranded. Meanwhile, a newly transferred agent takes notice of Scully's intriguing presence and introduces himself. The two soon find themselves paired up for the duration of the conference.
Scully begins to recall what normalcy feels like—the warmth of a meaningful connection, the comfort of being touched and held, and the freedom of living without the protective walls around her heart. When those walls finally crumble before another man, he opens her up to parts of herself she’d long kept hidden, almost forgotten. In this newfound vulnerability, Scully realizes that her heart has already chosen its path, guiding her to a deeper truth: her love lies somewhere else, in a place that has been quietly waiting for her all along.
