TITLE: I KNOW AUTHOR: Bonetree SPOILERS: None SUMMARY: Mulder in 155 words ******** He sits at his desk, his hand on his forehead, dark hair pushed back. I have sat here for hours, but I can't help but look at his shoulders, the juts of bone like wings through his shirt's rumpled back. The faint smell of sweat from a day's fruitless work. So I go to him, moving slowly. My hands settle on his shoulders, the back of his neck. He does nothing. Then I lean down to the skin beneath his ear, my cheek rubbing there and my lips taking the lobe between them, tongue smoothing. The pen goes down, and I feel a intake of breath. He says my name, and then: "I'm so tired." My arms go beneath his to the pearled buttons of this shirt. More skin, the darkness over his heart. His warm belly. The line of soft black hair that leads to his sex. I have followed it before. I know.
