X Files really had it all while still giving me nothing

  • Only one bed
  • Stuck in the rain
  • Lost in the woods
  • Among Us style mystery killer paranoia
  • Fake marriage
  • Kidnapped (every conceivable way possible)
  • Crying over your hospital bed
  • Camping
  • Stranded on an island
  • Stranded in Antarctica
  • Using my clothes to cover/warm you up
  • Terminal illness
  • Quarantined together
  • “I’m keeping your [sentimental item] safe until I get you back”
  • *can’t go 2 hours without calling you*
  • Pizza & movie nights
  • Attending work functions together
  • I went back in time and you were there
  • We have to strip to check each other for ominous skin abnormalities
  • Wrote you love letters
  • New Year’s kiss
  • Spent my holiday on a case with you
  • Cleaning each other’s wounds
  • *wipes your face when you got food on it*
  • Road trip
  • Undercover together
  • Stake outs
  • Instinctually reaches out for you
  • I can recognize you even if I can’t see your face
  • Even brainwashed, I refuse to hurt you
  • Literal soulmates
  • Secret relationship
  • They even gave us goddamned surprise pregnancy

The X-Files was trope bingo in show form, it really was.

Pusheen the cat making some chemistry.
