    Summary

    “What do you need, Wilson?”

    “Nothing. Go back to bed.”

    “Talk to me.” House said. “Tell me what…what’s going on.”

    “There’s nothing to talk about.”

    House stamped down the urge to tackle Wilson into the couch and hold him until the sun rose and everything would be okay again in the daylight.

    Instead, he sat his empty glass next to Wilson’s full one and hobbled back to bed.

    House didn’t sleep a wink. Wilson didn’t come back.

    ***

    House thinks Wilson is cheating on him. The reality is worse than he imagined.

    Summary

    He’s angry, at first. Angry at House for hurting Cuddy so badly that she hasn’t returned to the hospital since the incident. For breaking his wrist, which still hurts like a bitch every time he moves his arm wrong, and aches even when at rest. For torching not only his career but his personal life too.

    For leaving Wilson behind and all alone.

    [...]

    Over time, the anger fades, leaving a deep, bleeding, House-shaped wound in its wake. He’s no longer angry at the bastard, he just misses him. And isn’t that pathetic?

    After the assault on Cuddy's house, Wilson spirals.

    Summary

    House creates a betting pool on if him and Wilson are dating, but lives to regrets it.

    "House remembered the first time someone joked about him and Wilson being an item, a chuckle in the break room that spiraled into the infamous betting pool. It started as a dumb joke— a way for House to mess with Wilson and a way to gauge how the hospital viewed their relationship. The debate had been a staple in the hospital for years, and eventually the opposing sides had reached a stalemate. No money seemed to be distributed to anyone until the two died or married. The betting pool had become a losing battle, a silent cold war among the staff. "

    Summary

    ‘That’s going to happen to Wilson one day. One day he will wake up, likely none the wiser to what will happen, and never return home. He won’t come back to see his lover, feel his embrace as he kisses him and asks about his day. He won’t be able to fulfill his promises he doesn’t realize have a deadline closer than he thought.

    He will simply pass, perhaps peacefully in his sleep or in a horrific car accident, and that will be it.’

    OR

    Wilson wakes from a nightmare and starts panicking about the thought of death, waking House.
