Pairing: Fox Mulder x Reader

A/N: I hope you enjoy!! Also damnnn this gif.

Request: A fox mulder and reader where she fires a gun for the first time in defence and is totally upset and shaken up by it. She'd been given one as a safety measure and she has to use it. maybe shes the secretary and theres an attack there? something residing in his and scullys office - Anon

______________________

“We're heading out to grab something to eat. Want anything?” Mulder’s voice was smooth as he spoke to you from across your desk.

You smiled and lowered the papers in your hand “I'm ok today. I actually managed to pack a lunch.” 

The man smiled “Alright, see you in a bit Y/N.” He turned and made his way to Scully who'd been hovering in the doorway watching, and smiling, at the interaction between the two of you. 

As soon as the door closed behind Mulder she let out a small laugh as they walked to the exit “Are you going to actually ask Y/N on a date soon or are you going to carry on pining for each other?”

The man let out a small laugh of his own “I'm not sure she entirely likes me back.”

“Oh come on. She does. Trust me.” she walked ahead of the man as the corridor got busier.

Mulder pondered what Scully had said and he could feel heat rising to his face. Before they'd even managed to leave the building he'd promised himself he'd ask you out by the end of the day. 

Lunch moved slowly. You’d been picking on your lunch gradually and looking through paperwork and notes for Mulder and Scully. You'd been hired by Skinner a couple of years ago and mainly focussed on research for him. You'd got to know Mulder and Scully pretty early on but only in the past year had you specifically been tasked with doing research for them. 

You'd been on one trip with the pair and that was a couple of months ago. You wouldn't say it was your most favourite thing in the world but you’d go again if given the opportunity. 

You heard movement outside of your office door and saw figures pass the glass. Knowing not many people came down this way often you assumed Mulder and Scully had returned from lunch. 

Picking up the pile of useful notes you exited your office and made your way to Mulder’s.

You gave a quick knock on the door before letting yourself in. “I've managed to find some-” You cut yourself off. The room was significantly colder than you ever remember it being and darker. Your friends definitely weren't back from Lunch yet.

You froze on the spot and were unable to move. Clutching the papers in your hands you listened to the room around you, it was almost as if you could hear the air in the room.

Sufficiently spooked you took another step into the room and took a deep breath. Moving to his desk you placed down the papers and reached for the lamp.

What you didn't expect to see was a hand move over yours as you went to turn on the lamp. Pulling backwards instantaneously you stumbled backwards and came into contact with something firm. There was definitely not a wall that close behind you. 

Stepping forward you frantically looked around the room to see nothing. Freaking out you reached for your gun. You'd been given it as protection before the first trip with Mulder and Scully and had kept it since. Wise considering the type of people the two often came across.

Your fingers brushed the weapon as you continued to search the room frantically. Diving forward you switched on the lamp to give even a morsel of light.

You felt something grab your ankle and begin to pull. The motion entirely throwing you off balance and dragging you to the ground. You tried to kick out of the grip but there was no chance. 

you caught glimpses of the figure. Not many features were distinguishable but the teeth, and smile, were unforgettable. 

Reaching again for your gun you swiftly removed the safety and fired shots in the direction of the figure. Squeezing your eyes closed you dropped the gun and cowered backwards away from its grip.

Mulder and Scully had heard the first shot and instantly began to run towards the sound, unknowing of what would be on the other end. Mulder burst through the door as you fired the final shot and watched as a figure relaxed on the floor and you huddled into yourself. The room seemed to get brighter and the temperature increased to a normal level in a split second. Mulder dropped the bag he'd been holding and dived instinctively to his knees beside you as Scully called for help and assessed the other form in the room.

“Y/N what happened?” the man's eyes explored you for any injuries quickly.

You brought your head up and looked at the man, tears instantly welling up. “I- I came down to talk to you about some notes.” you rushed out “it was cold and dark… I went to turn on a light but… someone was here… he grabbed me… pulled me down.”

He could see that you were getting more and more distraught as you spoke. The man reached out his hand to your arm to reassure you. The moment he did so your tears broke through their barrier and would not stop falling. 

You began to sob and were entirely incoherent. Mulder’s only instinct was to pull you into him. 

He wrapped his arms around you and held you close. He rested his chin on top of your head “It's ok. I'm here now. You're safe.” he reassured.

You nodded against him and tried to ebb your tears, knowing others were probably in the room by now. Pulling away you wiped your tears “Thank you.” you whispered.

Going to stand the man beat you to it and offered you his hand. Accepting you allowed him to help you to your feet. “I’m going to my office.”

“Someone should really check you’re-” Scully started before Mulder gave her a small, yet certain, shake of his head.

You walked down the corridor and allowed autopilot to take you back to your office. Upon getting there you made a B line for your chair and flopped into it. Grabbing your bottle you took a sip of water as Mulder came in through the door, a small bag in his hand.

“I got you this. I was hoping I could give it to you under better circumstances but you probably need it more now.”

You took the bag from the man and felt your insides get a little lighter. Opening the bag you were faced with a cookie. “Thank you.”

“No problem.” the man hesitated for a second before taking a seat across from you. 

The man kept you distracted and got you talking. You were soon called into Skinner's office to make an official report on the incident before returning to your office. Mulder was still sat in the chair across from your desk unmoved. 

You gave him a smile and began to pack up your things “Skinner said I could go home early.”

Mulder glanced at the clock and scoffed “It's half an hour before your scheduled end time, as if he's actually being generous.”

You shrugged “I'll take it either way.” 

“Will you be alright alone?” the mans words were sincere and full of concern

Your eyes met his and you could see the emotion behind them but couldn't bring yourself to answer his question, were you to lie and say yes? 

“I know how difficult something like this can be. Especially the first time.” his eyes left yours before returning.

“I think being alone is unwise” you admitted, pulling your eyes back to your bag “Don't feel like you have to-”

“Anything Y/N, I can come to yours or you to mine I don't mind.” 

“Mine? I'd like home comforts.” you began to move around your desk towards him. The man agreed and you were soon on your way back to yours. 

Grabbing all the snacks you could from the cupboards you made your way over to the sofa and placed the snacks you’d gathered onto the coffee table. Sitting next to the man you pulled a blanket over yourself. In the time it’d taken you to change into pyjamas and grab the snacks the man had also changed into the comfy clothes he kept in the back of his car and chosen something to watch on TV.

“I’m sorry this isn’t proper food.” you gestured to the snacks.

The man waved you off “It’s alright, something’s better than nothing.” he shifted himself so he was angled more towards you, his knees touching yours. “Actually, on the topic of food.” 

“Yeah?” you looked at the man.

“How about we go and get a nice dinner sometime? I know you haven’t had a great day but I promised myself I’d ask today.”

Your brain stuttered for a moment “dinner?”

“Like a date” his eyes softened as he clarified what he meant.

You searched his face as a smile found your lips “That would be nice.”

“Good.” he smiled and settled back into the sofa.

Taking a risk you moved to be closer to the man, to your delight he stretched his arm around you. Feeling your chest flip for a moment you trained your eyes on the TV.

“What’ve you picked?” you questioned as the adverts rolled.

“It’s one of those bad reality shows about cops.” he put emphasis around the word reality “It’s bound to be amazing.” he said sarcastically.

You laughed at his remark “There’s nothing I love more than bad TV.”

The two of you relaxed further, content in the knowledge you felt the same way for each other.

The day had been long but you were thankful that you had someone as caring as Mulder to distract you.

The Truth is Out There

Clutching the file in your hand tight as can be, you ran to the only person you knew you could trust. The contents of the file you possessed were highly classified. If anyone knew you had knowledge of what it contained, let alone had the file on your person you'd be in serious danger.

You made your way towards the elevators, dashing through coworkers as you passed. Curses among other insults were thrown in your direction in response but you didn't have the time to care.

Ding. The elevator door opened in sync with your arrival. Luckily for you, nobody was on board. With a dire sense of urgency, you crossed the threshold and pressed the button for your desired floor.

In the time it took the elevator to descend to its destination, you had all but driven yourself completely mad with trepidation. Once the elevator stopped, you took a moment to collect yourself.

You needed to regain your composure because the information you were about to deliver was extraordinarily important. A sigh of relief escaped your lips as the elevator door opened.

The sound of your shoes clicking off of the linoleum floor echoed down the hallway. You were sure that your contact could hear you coming the second you stepped off the elevator.

The moment of truth was approaching as you drew near your contact's office. You took a deep breath to calm your nerves before you knocked.

"Who is it?" A familiar voice called from within.

"Mulder, it's me." You responded.

A few seconds later Fox Mulder, your ex fiancé, answered the door. He looked disappointed when he realized that it was you. It hurt to see that reaction, but you knew who he was hoping to find at his door and that's why you were there.

Mulder opened the door wider for you to enter then sat down at his desk. His office was less cluttered than usual. In fact, there was barely anything in his office at all. Even his infamous "I want to believe" poster was rolled up and placed in a file box.

"You're leaving aren't you?" You asked, an accusatory look taking residence on your face.

Mulder sighed. "There's nothing left for me here." He said as he leaned back in his chair and folded his hands behind his head.

You scoffed in disbelief. "I have something I think you'll want to see." You offered the Manila file folder in his direction.

"(Y/N) I'm done with the X-files. I'm sure you can handle it on your own." Mulder said.

You looked at your feet momentarily, wondering if things would be different if your relationship hadn't fallen apart. You pushed the thought away and looked into his eyes. "It's about Scully, Mulder. I know where they're keeping her."

Without hesitation, Mulder took the file from your hand and opened it. You watched as Mulder clenched his jaw while he read the contents of the file. You went through a lot of trouble to get this for him, even put your life on the line.

"How did you get this?" He pressed, holding the file in the air.

"It's not important, let's just go-" you started, only to be interrupted.

"The devil is in the details, (Y/N)!" Mulder yelled as he wiped his hand down his sculpted face. "They're on to you, aren't they?" He knew the answer to the question, you weren't sure why he even asked.

All you could do was meekly shake your head 'yes' in response.

Expecting another outburst, you were shocked when Mulder simply picked up his coat and walked over to you. "Where are you going?" You asked.

He caressed the side of your face with his hand. "I can't lose you too, do you understand me?"

You looked up into his hazel eyes and got a good look at them for the first time in a while. "You won't." You reassured.

Mulder leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on your temple. He lingered there a little longer than you expected, maybe he wasn't completely over you after all.

Like Her

Words: 1601

Pairing: Fox Mulder x Reader

A/N: This is the longest thing I've written in a while and I enjoyed it so much!!

Request: Could I request a Mulder x reader where the reader has fallen in love with him but she is sure he doesn’t like her because he is always thirsting after like, those porn models in his magazines and stuff. Little does she know that he loves her just as much. Essentially just heavy angst to fluff with kisses 🥺 - Anon

______________________

“No problem. Anytime.” the man said smoothly as he slid back into the driver's seat. 

You adjusted yourself where you sat and watched the woman walk away. She was drop dead gorgeous, beautiful on another level, just like the women you see in magazines. Ripping your eyes away from her you tuned back into where you were, turning towards Mulder to ask him a question you realised he was looking right at you, as if waiting for a response.

“I’m sorry, repeat that?” you said slightly embarrassed.

“Do you want to grab something to eat or head right back?”

You looked at the time, you’d been on a rough journey with the man, all practically for nothing. You were hot, tired, slightly sad and frankly ready to crawl back into bed.

“Lets drive as much as we can before one of us feels like their stomach might decide to eat itself. Then we can switch drivers.”

“I really don’t mind driving all of the way.” he looked sincere as he spoke.

You shrugged “Then lets hope neither of us get hungry or I’ll be hopping right behind the wheel.”

The man fought a smirk appearing on his lips and started the engine “Whatever you say Y/L/N.”

Leaning back into the seat you listened as the man spoke about the case but couldn’t help but let the sadness ebb and grow. This man, the man beside you, was sunshine to you. He’d helped you through a lot and you genuinely didn’t know what you’d do without him, sure he has his quirks, everyone does, but he really made you feel different. He made you feel seen and special, made you want to spend every moment you could with him. 

At the start you told yourself you wouldn’t put yourself through liking him. Well in some ways you’d kept that promise, you didn’t like him, you loved him. 

You knew he liked you as a friend. Heck a man who didn’t like you at all wouldn’t do any of the things he’d done for you.

Sighing a tear ran down your cheek and you quickly wiped it away but this didn’t go unnoticed by the man. Leaning forward you opened the glove compartment to check if the tissues you’d put in there were still there but a magazine slipped out first. 

Turning it over you were face to face with an image of an insanely beautiful woman. Quickly stuffing it back inside you almost slammed the glove compartment shut and sat back. Tears rolling down your cheeks almost uncontrollably. You weren’t hysterical though, they fell silently and naturally.

The man's heart dropped at the sight. He absolutely hated to see you this way but would always do anything he could to make you feel comforted. “Y/N.” he spoke softly as he continued to drive. Looking for a place to pull over.

Reaching a hand over he gently placed it on your shoulder as he kept the other on the wheel. “What’s the matter huh?”

Your heart felt heavy. A multitude of things had brought on the tears but having the man you were crying about try and make it better hurt a little more. “I’m ok.”

“You’re clearly not.” he pulled the car over and turned to you but you tried to face the other way.

“You’re never like this when you’re upset. What’s wrong? " His voice was calm.

A sob left your body and you could feel it trembling, it was silly, it really was but you couldn’t help it.

The man was out of the car in an instant. He quickly moved around the car and opened your door, crouching down in the space he looked up to you and comfortingly took your hand. “Y/N, please, speak to me.”

You could feel the warmth of his hand around yours, even though you were way too warm you really didn’t mind.

“I’m just overwhelmed.” you hoped that would suffice.

“Talk to me.”

“I’m hot, tired, and my heart just hurts ok?” you were done with it all. You could always find another, less fulfilling job elsewhere.

“We can fix two of those things right now. Take your jacket off, we can go and find some cool water and you can nap in the car.” he offered “Why does your heart hurt?”

You let out a huge sigh “I love someone who’ll never love me back. He’s way too interested in model girls, and sure, I really don’t blame him. I could never compare to them.” you weaseled your hand from his and used both of them to wipe your tears “I’m just being silly. Let's go.”

“No.” His voice was soft yet firm. “You’re better than any of those models and he’d be dumb to not see it.”

Your eyes burned and you felt a laugh bubble though “Try telling that to him huh?”  you looked at him and his eyes met his “If only you knew.”

He brought his hand up to your face and pushed some hair behind your ear whilst he took one of your hands in his other. “Is it Clive?” he looked at the floor as he spoke, not really wanting the confirmation.

“It’s you.” your voice was practically a whisper.

His head snapped up, his eyes meeting yours again. Had he just made that up in his head? “What did you say?”

You tore your eyes from his “I’m sorry, forget about it. It’s nothing.”

“Did you say it was me?” 

“Leave it.” you took your hand from his.

“I feel the same about you.”

You looked towards him “What?”

“I like you, well more than that, as well.”

“Don’t mess with me Mulder, you don’t need to just because I’m upset. I know you like me as a friend but-”

“I mean it.”  His voice felt like it echoed for a second. 

“But, I’m seriously not your type.”

“What is my type then?”

You reached forward and pulled the magazine out “This.”

“Y/N” he sighed and took the magazine from you. “At one point in my life yeah sure. Not anymore. Old Sam gave it to me as a joke, you know he knows me from about ten years ago, give or take, he bought me one back then and again now as a joke.”

He walked away from you to the trash can and put the magazine inside before closing your door and returning to the driver's seat “I’m sorry. I really am. I’ve had a crush on you for a long time now. Since I first laid my eyes on you. I just didn’t ever think you’d feel the same. If I’d known-”

You nodded and faced the man “I’m sorry for being a bit emotional today.”

“Sorry? We’d never have known how we felt if you hadn't been.” 

You let out a slight laugh “Yeah, you could say that.”

“I really think we should at least try and grab some snacks and just do our best to do the journey in one.”

You mulled it over for a second “Sure. Then we can-”

“We’re not swapping. If I remember right, there's a gas station about ten minutes from here. We can grab snacks and then get back onto the road with me driving. You, however, will sleep.”

“I’m not-”

“You just said you were so don’t try and say you’re not tired.”

You smiled, your tears were drying up “Thank you.”

“Don’t thank me again. I don’t deserve it for putting you through that.”

The ten minute drive went quickly, the two of you soon breaking out into conversation about the case and awful day that it’d been. Navigating the gas station quickly the two of you stood in line with your snacks. Even though you were practically in the middle of nowhere there was still a decently sized queue.

As the line got more condensed the man stood closer to you, practically pressed to your side yet behind you protectively.

Looking up towards the man your eyes met, the two of you sharing the moment before having to shuffle forward in the queue again. 

What took you by slight surprise was the feeling of the man leaning forward and placing a kiss to your head in an affectionate way. The way a long term couple would do subtly in public to show affection without embarrassing those around them

You felt warmth rush to your face and a smile break out on your lips. The man wrapped his arms around you subtly and you embraced them back before having to breakaway to move to the cashier.

The two of you beamed as you paid for the groceries, you insisted that you paid since Mulder was going to drive the rest of the way.

Sliding back into the car the two of you settled nicely. Mulder spoke about some sightings he’d been tracking and trying to stay up to date with in the United Kingdom. He knew it was unlikely that he’d never be able to investigate it but he was invested in the case.

He noticed that you’d gradually shortened your responses and that they’d become incredibly infrequent until you pretty much weren’t responding to him at all.

Quickly taking a look at you whilst he drove he could see that you were fast asleep. Training his eyes back on the road he let a sad smile form on his lips. 

He loved you more than anything and was hurt that he’d made you feel otherwise. He’d do absolutely anything to never see you that way again.

Nightmare

Words: 698

Pairing: Fox Mulder x Reader

A/N: Happy New Year everyone!

Request:  Reader helping Mulder down from a nightmare? Like he wakes up frantic about something he saw and the reader has to reassure him everything is alright? - Anon

______________________

Mulder jumped and sat upright quickly, something tearing him from sleep abruptly had his heart beating wildly, sweat beading on his skin and eyes searching the room frantically. 

You were frightened awake by his sudden movements. Taking a second to understand what was happening you softly called his name and when you were met with silence you sat up and looked around the room while steadying your own breath.

Tuning into the noises around you could hear Mulder’s frantic breathing and automatically turned towards him. “Fox.” you spoke softly, letting your eyes search his face while your hand instinctively moved for his. “What’s wrong?”

The man didn’t reply. Feeling your hand on his he moved his hand and gripped yours tightly as he gasped for breath slightly.

You brought your other hand on top of his and gently ran your fingertips over it. “Fox it’s ok. I’m here, whatever it was isn’t real. You’re ok. Everyone’s safe.” 

The man nodded slightly, slowly coming out of the sleepy haze.

Taking this as a sign he was coming down from it you brought your one hand gently up to his face and placed your hand lightly on his jaw. Softly you turned his head towards yours and locked eyes with his “I’ve got you.”

Mulder leant forward and rested his forehead on yours as he slowly regulated his breathing and allowed himself to wake up more. You allowed your thumb to lightly move over his cheek as you sat in silence. 

“I’m sorry.” his voice was barely above a whisper

“Never be sorry” moving your head away from his you placed a kiss to his forehead before wrapping your arms around the man and pulling him close as his arms closed around you.

“What was it this time?” you asked once you felt the man relax in your arms and rest his chin on your shoulder.

He sighed “We were on a ship together, there was a bad storm and you went over. I was stood by the railings calling for you, trying to reach in and grab you.” he gulped “I could see you just under the surface, I shoved my hands in and couldn’t find you. I was shouting and everyone else couldn’t see you, said you weren’t even on the boat in the first place but I could see you and hear your gurgled screams.”

You could hear a slight break in his voice before he stopped for a second and continued. “I jumped in after you and I saw a tall man in a hat with a twisted greenish face grab you and he started to drag you down. I tried to catch you but someone pulled me out of the sea. I woke up in a bed on the boat with people holding me down and the same man who dragged you down was stood at the foot of the bed with some things in his hand. He threw them at me. They were your necklace and engagement ring.”

He let go of you and pulled away “I looked back up and he was covered in blood and then everyone disappeared as he got closer. He jumped right in my face and that’s when I woke up.”

The way the man re-told his dream sent shivers down your own spine “That sounds… it sounds terrifying I’m sorry, you’re safe now.”

“You’re safe” he whispered “That’s all I care about.” 

Your heart softened at his words yet also felt sad at the same time. He didn’t care about himself.

He found your hand and admired your ring, a small smile pulling at his lips before he checked the time and closed the gap between the two of you and placed a kiss to your cheek. “I might get an early start on breakfast. Want anything?”

You looked towards the clock and read five a.m. only an hour before your alarm was set to go off. “We have time to make pancakes together.”

“Pancakes it is.” he laughed. 

Throwing the covers from on top of you you quickly leaped up and headed towards the kitchen, the man on your heels with a smile on his face.

Nervous

Words: 761

Pairing: Fox Mulder x Reader

A/N: Sorry this has taken so long!!

Request: Hi would like to request a mulder x reader where mulder is really nervous about something and he starts holding the reader’s hand and fidgets with their fingers or a ring that they’re wearing which helps him feel better. this idea came from a dream that i had last night :) - @muldersufo

______________________

You couldn’t remember the exact first time the man had done it. All you knew was that it was a habit of his now.

Most of the time he’d just play with your ring from across the table. He’d reach over and twirl it around your finger and it brought him comfort. Sometimes he’d casually reach for your hand and admire the ring before twisting it.

The first time you hadn’t worn the ring he’d held your hand and looked at you with a puzzled expression. “Where’d it go?” 

“I took it off for a shower and I guess I forgot to put it back on.”

The man nodded and placed your hand down and got back to the paperwork at hand. Before long his hand was reaching for yours again absentmindedly and he began to fidget with your fingers.

Since then he’d reach for your hand so often that you didn’t even realise and were entirely used to it.

Today a particular case had the man more nervous and anxious than usual. The sun was setting yet beaming down into the car as he pulled into a parking lot where the two of you waited for Skinner to arrive.

“And now we wait.” you said with a slight laugh as you relaxed back in your seat.

Mulder did the same as he rolled down his window slightly. He was quiet, as he always was when nervous.

Leaning forward you turned on the radio but the man caught your hand before you could return it to your lap.

As you looked out of the window and admired the scenery the man played with your hand and twirled the ring that you were wearing today, a different ring from usual. 

“I like this one”

“Hm?” you looked at Mulder

“This ring. I like it, it’s probably one of my favourites but you rarely wear it.”

“It’s one of the more fragile and sentimental. I’m scared of damaging it.” you admitted.

The two of you fell into silence again.

Skinner clearing his throat at Mulder's window had you whipping your head towards him. 

“You two got here early.” the man observed.

“We had a head start on the road.” you joked “we were done pretty quickly with the O’Malleys.”

“What do you have for us?” Mulder faced the man fully now.

“We have a lead on Miss Fink’s whereabouts. She was last spotted two days ago by a kid, Adam Sawyer, in the ‘big scary field that you feel like you’re going to die in everytime you step inside of it’ as he put it.”

“How old is the kid?” Mulder questioned.

“Eight.”

“What’s he doing in it if he’s scared?” you added

“He went to get a ball that his friends kicked over the fence by accident. They’re all scared of it.”

“Well, it sounds like a good place to look.” Mulder shrugged.

Skinner nodded “I’d advise you do it before sunset. Apparently, it can get pretty dark out here at night.”

“It get’s dark anywhere.” you added and Mulder let out a slight laugh

The man looked away before looking back at the two of you, you could see that he was contemplating saying something. “Is there something I should know about between the two of you?”

You both gave the man a puzzled expression as he looked dramatically at your hands. Mulder had been holding and playing with yours the entire time that Skinner had been speaking to the two of you.

You could feel the heat rush to your face instantly as the man released your hand and you returned it to your lap.

“Nothing. It’s nothing Sir.” Mulder tried to persuade the man.

The man simply gave the two of you a single nod as he placed his hands in his pockets “We should get a move on.”

Mulder moved to open his door and you did the same as Skinner began to lead the way.

As you stood to your full height Mulder caught your eyes from across the top of the car. 

“I’m sorry he mouthed.”

Smiling you moved around the vehicle and began to follow Skinner, Mulder falling into step beside you “It’s ok.”

The two of you walked side by side with smiles on your faces as you followed your superior, although embarrassing you could both see the humorous side of it and the look on Skinner's face as he looked behind him was a sight to see.

What took you by surprise this time was Mulder's hand slipping around yours to hold it.

Snow

Words: 487

Pairing: Walter Skinner x Reader

A/N: Not my best work but it’s kinda cute. Also this GIF works so well?!

Request: A.D Skinner x reader where they've been looking for a bunch of people who went missing in a town including the reader, who's an agent and they're seeing each other, and there's snow and he finds her and she's injured and cold so he sits and cradles her until more people arrive to help move her or something - Anon

______________________

No one expected this to happen. You’d been sent to investigate a case of abnormal weather in a small town, Mulder and Scully had previously been on a case similar but they thought you’d be ok until they could finish up the one they were on and get to the town.

But not even a day into investigating the case a brutal snowstorm had been triggered, a huge blanket of snow covered the town, most houses were buried under the powder.

Mulder and Scully had arrived as the blizzard was settling and they alerted everyone immediately.

Skinner rushed to the town and helped with the rescue mission.

“Agent Y/L/N! Y/N!” He trudged through the snow as he continuously called your name.

He could see others pulling people out of the snow, teams of people loaded them onto stretchers and carried them to safety.

The sun was setting, the area becoming dangerously dark.

Turning on his flashlight he continued to search as he called for you, he knew the dangers of searching for you alone but right now he didn’t care.

Seeing a figure on its side in the distance covered in snow he began to rush forward, yelling your name.

His hands worked quickly to remove the snow from on top of you as he rolled you over onto your back. 

Bringing his hands to the side of your face he tried to get you to respond as he checked for a pulse.

You murmured some words and his heart felt like it did a backflip. “You’re alright. I’m here now.”

Shaking off his jacket he wrapped it around your front and sat you up against him. Clinging to his shirt you shivered.

“It’s…. It’s the mayor.”

“Don’t worry about that for now.” he re-assured you as he held you tighter to him.

“Is everyone else ok?” you stuttered out the words.

“They’re ok.” the man rubbed your arms up and down to try and promote warmth. “Are you injured?”

You shook your head “Just so cold.”

The man nodded and called for help, not wanting to move you alone. “You’re never going on a case alone again.”

You laughed “I won’t object to that.” you curled into the man more.

Several more calls out from Walter later you could see a crowd of torches moving towards you through the darkness.

“They’re coming.” you could hear the hope in the mans voice.

“Finally, it’s a bit chilly out here y’know.” you teased and the man laughed, a sound you’d missed hearing even though you hadn’t even been apart from him for even a day.

The man dipped his head and placed a kiss to your forehead. “It may be cold out but you always warm my heart.”

You let out a laugh “That was cheesy.”

“I couldn’t resist.” the man held you closer to his chest as the footsteps in the snow got closer.

Pairing: Walter Skinner x Reader

A/N: I think this one is actually good! Short and sweet for sure!!

Request: I've noticed you have a lot of Mulder requests. How about a Skinner x Reader where she's crying because of a case or something (up to you) and he comforts her? Maybe some angst? not necessary but he could turn her away initially? up to you I mainly would just like skinner comforting the reader who cries  - Anon

______________________

The case had been messy, a lot of innocent people were hurt, children were hurt, and it was upsetting to think about.

You’d been on the case with Mulder and Scully. The three of you were now sitting around a table talking to several high up members of the FBI. You didn’t know who half of them were but you felt slightly comforted by seeing Skinner’s face opposite you.

The meeting was brutal, it made the three of you re-count events and talk through each and every detail.

By the end of it, you were on the brink of tears. As the room was dismissed you stayed in your seat, everyone bustling around you. 

“Agent Y/L/N?” you looked up to see Mulder looking at you with concern.

You shook your head as some tears began to roll down your cheeks.

Standing up you caught eyes with Walter, the man looked shocked but couldn’t cross the room to you in front of everyone.

His eyes followed you out of the room as you began to rush down the corridor not even knowing where your legs were taking you.

You were distressed and hurt. Hurt for the lost lives, hurt for the irreparable destruction that had been caused and hurt because the man you cared so much about, and that cared so much about you, couldn’t be right by your side right now.

He couldn’t wait any longer. Casually walking out of the room he soon sped up to catch up with you, hating to see you so distressed and not able to do anything about it straight away.

The corridor was empty and he could see you ahead of him “Y/N, Y/N wait.”

The man gently took your wrist and turned you around. You looked him in your eyes as tears streamed down your cheeks. He pulled you to his chest and held you close.

“I’m sorry.” he whispered.

The man’s heart broke as you silently cried against him.  He’d never seen you this upset. 

The sound of footsteps approaching had him pulling away slightly and guiding you into his office swiftly.

As he sat you down in his office, the man moved to speak to his secretary “I don’t want any disturbances. No exceptions.” 

With that he closed the door and was crouching in front of you, taking your hands in his own.

He moved his thumb over them. “Y/N I can’t even begin to tell you how sorry I am. Sorry for everything you witnessed and had no body there to talk to about it. Sorry that I couldn’t be there to comfort you and help you through it all.”

You nodded “It’s not your fault.” a sob broke up your sentence “You’re here now.”

The man sighed and pulled your hands to his cheek before placing a kiss to them.

Standing up he leant forward and placed a kiss on your head as his hand found your back. You wrapped your arms around him and embraced him further.

Pulling away, the mans hand found your jaw, lightly tracing it with his fingertips he moved them along to your chin. Tilting your head upwards his eyes found yours. 

Dipping down he captured your lips lightly with his. It wasn’t your first kiss, you’d kissed many times before. It was brief and he was soon pulling away, dropping his hand to his side he moved around his desk.

He didn’t need to say anything in that moment, you both knew how you felt about each other and his company was all you needed right now.

“I love you.” you whispered under your breath. 

“I love you too.” the man looked at you from across his desk and smiled as you turned to face him properly.

The smile on his own lips was soon ripped away when the telephone on his desk began to ring. 

Rolling his eyes he picked up the phone.

Pairing: Walter Skinner x Reader

A/N: I need to get back into the practice of writing again

Request:  Skinner request anon here. No problem that you can't write it, don't feel bad for not doing it I really don't mind. Could I get a Skinner and reader where they're in a building and there's a fire and he realises the reader is stuck higher up and he goes to save her? Mulder and Scully were caught up with something then realise and go and help him? They say something about him obviously caring for her. - Anon

“Where’s Y/N?” Skinners eyes searched Mulders face. 

“I think she went to retrieve some of the data disc higher up.” 

The two of them turned to where they could hear Scully calling for Mulder. The man quickly left Skinner’s side and was charging down the corridor in the direction of Scully’s voice.

As the fire alarm blared Skinner began to run in the opposite direction for the staircase. Taking two steps at a time he soon found himself on the top floor, where the flames were very much present.

“Special Agent Y/L/N!” the man called. Stepping towards the doorway he raised his arm in front of his face to shield it slightly from the heat and flames. 

The sound of you coughing had him instinctively moving forward “Y/N!”

“Walt?” your hand rested on your stomach as you continued to choke. Finding a nearby beam you supported yourself on it.

“Stay where you are.” he called as he tried to navigate the flames and debris. 

The man jumped back as building material fell in front of him.

He fought his way through the rubble until he found you. You slowly fell to your knees and supported yourself with your hand as you coughed.

Putting his arm around you he tried to pull you to your feet “Wait.” your voice was hoarse.

You handed him the data disc and his eyes looked into yours searching for an answer.

“Take it.” you tried to push him away “Get out of here.”

“What do you mean Y/N? I’m not leaving you here.” 

You gestured down to your leg and he was horrified at the sight. The two of you flinched as more material fell. “I’ll just slow you down. Go.”

“I’ll carry you.” his voice was pleading as he stuffed the disc into a pocket.

You shook your head “We both know that’s dangerous considering how fragile the building is.”

“I don’t care. Let me carry you, that’s an order.” 

The man barely gave you time to respond when he was quickly maneuvering you to carry you fire-man style. The pain through your leg brought tears to your eyes.

He heard your wince of pain and felt sympathetic yet determined “I’m going to get us out of here.”

The man began his journey back through the building. The flames were biting at his skin as he took the same path he’d just walked to you.

As he reached the stairs he couldn’t hold back his coughing anymore. He tried to move down the staircase but his movements became slower as he did and his chest began to feel tighter.

The silence from you had him concerned “Y/N? Y/N say something.”

Panicking he tried to speed up down the stairs. Opening the door onto the ground floor he was met by two familiar, and welcome, faces.

“Let me.” Mulder gestured to you but Skinner shook his head.

“I’ve got her.” he continued to walk

“Let Mulder take her. You need support of your own.” Scully interjected 

The man stopped and allowed Mulder to take you. “I think she’s unconscious.” Skinner admitted.

“Probably from the Smoke. Mulder get her to the EMT’s quick.”

The man did as instructed and rushed forward with you as Scully put her arm around Skinner to support him slightly. 

He leant into her support as they walked, occasionally stumbling as they went. “She’s going to be ok right?”

“She should be.” The woman peered at him quickly “How did you hit your head?”

“What?”

“You’re head. It’s bleeding.” The entrance was now in sight and the fire department was rushing past the two of them.

“I don’t know.” the man whispered. As the two of them stepped into the fresh air he sucked in a breath and instantly left Scully’s side. 

He locked eyes on the ambulance Mulder was stood at the back of and let his legs carry him to it. “Is she ok?”

Mulder’s hand was on his chest as an EMT let him know you’d be fine but Skinner's eyes were fixed on you.

“You need to get checked out.”

“Let me ride with her.”

“You need to get checked out first. You can meet her there.”

“No.”

“Sir.” Mulder’s voice was stern “I know you obviously care for her but you need to consider your own health first. What use are you if you’re sick or injured?”

The man looked at Mulder now. “You’re right.” his voice was sincere. “I’m sorry I don’t know what came over me.” He'd never acted this way before, ever, it was unusual for him.

“It’s ok. You know, I feel the same way about Scully as you do about Y/N even if you can’t admit it yet.” Mulder gestured forward to another EMT who’d arrived and Skinner followed them to the next Ambulance. 

The man sat on the back of the ambulance as his head wound was treated. Mulder was beside him and watched in silence.

Skinner’s eyes fell back to the ambulance you were in and he saw Scully stepping up into it and the doors closing behind her.

The EMT gave him the all clear and he got to his feet as he watched your ambulance pull away.

He looked at Mulder and broke the silence “You’re right. I do care about her.”

He began to walk away from the ambulance, Mulder quickly caught up with him and placed his hand on the older man’s shoulder. 

“Let me drive.”
