Request #... 5?

for dollsome

Request: SyVa. "And . . . and I never really liked you, anyway, and -- and you have stupid hair!"

"Weirdest break-up."

"Where do you come up with these things?"

"Curiosity."

"Vaughn, do we have to do this?"

"Yeah."

She rolls her head to look at him, her head on his shoulder. The X-Files has just ended- "Irresistable," and just about the scariest hour of television she'd ever seen. She had spent half of it covering her eyes and the other half leaping onto her boyfriend- boyfriend. The term sparkled. "You want to hear about my weirdest break-up."

"How many guys have you dated, Syd?"

She laughs at his expression. "Breaking up with me, or me breaking up with them?"

"Broken up with you."

"How do you get from Donnie Pfaster to weird break-ups?"

"Like you totally didn't know that he comes back to get Scully."

"Shut up!"

"Weirdest break-up, go."

She turns her whole body, bracing her knees against his side and thinks, taking his hand between his.

"First year of college, about a month before I was recruited. He wanted to go a lot faster than I did right away, so I freaked out. He wound up, like, breaking into my dorm room and and emptying out every box of food I had, like, cereal boxes, outside my window."

"Why?"

She laces her fingers through his and shrugs. "I have no idea. But I was pretty bitter."

"He was after your lucky charms, huh?"

Smacking his shoulder, Sydney shook her head. "Your weirdest break-up. Give it up."

"This one girl, she decided we would get, like, married after our first date."

"Which is somewhat flattering."

"But mostly weird."

"Agreed."

"So, we go on a few more dates, until she literally started, like, picking out a church."

"So you broke up with her."

"Yes. Ran like hell. And as I was running, I hear from behind me, 'And . . . and I never really liked you, anyway, and -- and you have stupid hair!'"

Vaughn frowned as Sydney shook with laughter. "I said 'weird,' not funny."

"You don't think that's funny? Oh, Vaughn."

"I don't have stupid hair!"

"But that she said it!"

"You're really mean."

"You have stupid hair."

"Syd!"

"I don't hold it against you!"

She leans up to smooth down his offended hair and kisses the wrinkles on his brow. "Your hair is fine. And I like you."

"Really?"

"Mostly."

"Shut up."

My angst was no where to be found. How odd.

Awww, Madi, that is so the cutest thing ever! For all your angsty skillz, you can also manage, like, the best fluff ever. And there was X-Files, even!

And . . . there's just something deeply beautiful about Vaughn being distressed over the idea of having stupid hair.

I'm just sayin'.

Lovely, lovely, lovely!

Suddenly all my Alias fics have to do with the X-Files. No, I don't understand it either.

Of course Vaughn was distressed! I would be distressed!

Glad you liked it.
