Mulder and Scully putting each other above everyone and everything else™ 

I keep thinking about his reaction after she speaks. Like the thought really never occurred to him. All this time he thought he was the only would within his rights to have doubts, ever.

The vulnerability playing field was equal, and he hadn’t stopped to consider that.
