Dance Around the Truth
Title: Dance Around the Truth
Fandom: X-Files
Character: Mulder
Rating: Gen
Word Count: 196
Prompt: Teasing
At first, I watched
Fascinated, drawn in
By the richness of her voice
By the tilt of her head
By the brush of pale fingers through fire
She was a Thomas, un-Believer
Thrown into my world
Her purpose, perhaps, to lead me astray
Even knowing this, still I looked
I should not have Wanted, yet I did
And so the dance began around Truth
Neither doing more than look
A glance when no one would see
I saw. Because I was looking for it
When it happened, I saw
I Wanted but I could not have
Rules made the chase a mere game
A flirtation of words and glances
Vixen, red fox, my own femme fatale
Sent to tempt me across the expanse of desk
Seasons passed and still we danced around Truth
We Fought our way to the Future
Eventually, she did not pull away
A caress allowed, a kiss taken
We dared to make promises
Once she was mine, I had what I wanted
I found I missed the secretive looks
I still Want now what I could not have then
Stolen glances, beautiful pining
I have the Truth - but I miss the dance.Originally posted at http://rinkafic.dreamwidth.org/
