Animal Dreams
Mulder woke up with a snort quickly followed by a groan as if he was dying. "Ughhhhh..."
"Finally! I told you that you over did it at the playground today..." Alex
tugged at his arm, trying to get him off the couch. Mulder squinted and
noticed Scully and Skinner staring down at him with disapproval.
"Oh...guess it's time to go home, huh?" Mulder rubbed at his neck and
struggled to his feet with Alex's help. Walter and Alex had helped him
baby-sit William while Scully had taken a personal day at a spa. They'd
taken Will to the playground, the zoo and then home for a video and pizza.
Apparently he'd fallen asleep on his lovers when they'd gotten up to put
the kid to bed.
"Yes, Fox...Scully would like her couch back. Alex and I filled her in on
Will's day and we'd like to get home. Come on..." Walter nudged him
towards the door while Alex said their goodbyes. Once in the car, Mulder
chuckled to himself.
"What's so funny?" Alex glanced over at his shoulder to look at Mulder in
the backseat.
"Oh...I was just remembering my dream..."
Walter made a left turn and then glanced at him through the rear view
mirror. "What was it? You were snorting and scuffling around in your
sleep when I put Will to bed."
"Well...we were in that movie, 'Ice Age'...only we were the characters...
I've definitely watched that movie too many times with Will. Next time
I'm going to bring my own movie."
"I don't think Scully would appreciate anything 'you'd' pick out, Fox. Who
were we in your dream?" Alex looked intrigued now, turning around in
his seat to grin at him.
Mulder chuckled and looked over at the baldhead above the driver's seat.
"Well, Walter was the mammoth...all gruff and 'hands off', but actually
rather protective and caring."
Alex bit his lip and glanced at Walter who just snorted and continued
driving. The younger man looked back at Mulder and winked. "And who
was I?"
Mulder smirked, "You were the saber tooth tiger, all sleek and
dangerous...trying to set us up, but in the end died protecting the
others..."
Alex's grin faded a bit, but he nodded. "Hmm, okay. But that leaves one
more question...who were 'you', Fox?" His grin became larger as he
watched Mulder squirm slightly.
"He was the sloth, obviously. Rather accurate description, I think" Walter
said in a mischievous tone, but he was still concentrating on the road ahead.
Mulder frowned a bit at that. "Yes, I 'was' the sloth...nothing wrong with
that! I was the glue that held the two of you together. Idealistic,
wanting to return the kid to his father..."
Alex chuckled and reached back to touch his arm. "Walter's right, it 'is' a
good description...you're the glue that holds 'us' together." He leaned
over the seat and Mulder let him kiss him, grudgingly. As they pulled into
the driveway, Walter turned off the ignition and finally turned to face him.
"That's what I meant, Fox...To tell you the truth, 'I' was thinking you
reminded me of that idealistic, wisecracking, foolhardy sloth, myself as I
watched it. Of course, you 'were' imitating Sid rather well on the couch.
How 'did' you sleep with your head bent over the arm?"
Mulder stopped any pretense of pouting and rubbed at his shoulder.
"Hard. My muscles are all seized up..."
"Guess we'll have to take care of that, then..."
The three of them ended up in the Jacuzzi in the back. Hot bubbling water
helped soothe Mulder's aching muscles, but not nearly as much as the
massage the other two gave him at the same time.
Mulder groaned with ecstasy as the rubbing slowly drifted down a little
lower. He wondered if he should tell Walter about the different ending in
his version of the movie had taken...that big hulking mammoth and the
sleek tiger with the dangerously sexy glint in his eyes... Nah, it was better
to act it out...
