From: K@tie at DKScully@juno.com Date: July 11, 1998 Category:MSR or whateva ya call it now<s> Spoilers: None Disclaimer: You know the drill, no one belongs to me...well Mulder and Scully don't, and the Aerosmith song, Don't Wanna Miss a Thing doesn't either, but my boyfriend Doug does<g> He's not in the story, he inspired it though... Author's Note:Okie, I made a reference to Doug up there<s> Since I love all of my readers I must share, I got to meet my on-line love recently and got to fall in love all over again, one thing I'll say is it was way more romantic than anything I could ever write... Don't Wanna Miss a Thing Mulder sat looking over notes in Scully's living room. They had been up all night doing paper work and poor Dana had crashed on the couch. He didn't have the heart to wake her and he couldn't seem to stop watching her... He knew the work had to be done but he couldn't help from gazing at her, admiring all the features he loved about her. It had been on the radio all day so of course it got implanted in his mind and he absently sung a few words aloud every now and then. Looking back to the notes.. "Don't wanna miss a thing..." He read over the first page of the report. "And I'm wonderin what you're dreamin..wonderin if it's me you're seein..." He looked up again to Scully who quietly breathed in and out, curled up on her side with her hands resting by her cheek and a tress of auburn hair resting on it. He smiled and reached over stroking her hair lightly back. "I could stay awake..just to hear you breathin...watch you smile while you are sleepin.." He grinned to himself and shook his head then looked back to the papers in front of him and thumbed through them. He sung again under his breath.."I could spend my life in this sweet surrender" Another glance up at her then quickly back to the work. His eyes skimmed over the report..Suspect was killed, cause of death, apparent suicide by strangulation... "Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together...I just wanna stay with you in this moment forever..." It was impossible..he couldn't concentrate. He looked up again and Dana snuggled into the couch. Smiling softly he gave in and kneeled by her. Carefully he took one of her hands in both of his and continued singing quietly. "I don't wanna miss one smile...I don't wanna miss one kiss...I just wanna be with you, right here with you, just like this.." He kissed her finger tips gently still holding her hand and whispered, "I just wanna hold you close...feel your heart so close to mine...and just stay here in this moment for all the rest of time." She smiled in her sleep and pulled her hand back close to her body taking his hands with it and he smiled lovingly as he watched her and finished the song. "I don't wanna close my eyes...I don't wanna fall asleep cause I'd miss you baby, and I don't wanna miss a thing. Cause even when I dream of you...the sweetest dream would never do...I'd still miss you baby and I don't wanna miss a thing." As his voice trailed off into silence she pulled his hands even closer with hers and kissed them then opened her eyes slowly and grinned up at him mouthing the words, "I got you." The End ;*) Well guys I think that one was pretty good, whatcha think? I had a lot of lovey feelings to vent cause I miss Doug so much... and there's a reason why I chose to use this song, if ya ask I'll tell you <s> Be sure to lemme know whatcha thought!
