Ew. It’s not that his hand is on her ass, or that he wishes to keep it there. Those things are understandable. It’s the way it’s phrased: “firm little ass” and the way he justifies copping a feel. “You’re fault, Scully, I warned you I’m a prick.”
Yeah, that part bothered me, too.
Also, he calls Scully “honey,” at which I think my brain actually made a needle-scratch sound.
I kind of hand-waved that away by thinking, "Oh, well, Mulder has a head injury and is not really himself right now..." But I, too, had a "needle-scratch" moment when I read that. I actually had to double-check to see if I was reading it right!
