Top five things Scully does for Mulder on bad days, and vice versa.

I think they both let each other have a bit of space to brood.

Of course, for a week every month, Mulder mysteriously develops a habit of stopping by the Jewish bakery on 6th on the way to work for everything bagels with real cream cheese.

Scully will let Mulder play Moby in the office while they work.

By the time they live together, Mulder might draw Scully a bath with the herbal oils he knows both Melissa and Maggie used to use, and hand her a glass of Merlot as she passes the kitchen on the way to the bathroom. He’ll heat the towel and her robe in the dryer for a few minutes before he knows she’ll emerge (around 45 minutes later).

Scully will put on an old pulp movie or the Twilight Zone and order them a pizza and pretend that it has nothing to do with his mood.

Mulder gives a good foot massage.

Scully gives good head.

If he’s feeling extravagant, Mulder will force Scully into the car and drive her to the nearest coastline, rent out a little kitschy bed and breakfast on the beach, and force feed her chowder and bad puns until she breaks into a genuine smile.

Scully’ll wake Mulder up in the middle of the night and drag him outside the city with blankets and Shiner Bock to look at the stars.
