Summary: I'm gonna be honest with you, it isn't exactly happy times here. Spoilerish for the past couple of episodes I guess. "Wilson daren't move the sleeping man. There was no need."


He should really have put two and two together last week when he found that empty tumbler on the coffee table. Water, he'd assumed; something to help wash down the Ibruprofen. He didn't bother to take a sniff to confirm his assumption.

A schoolboy error. A black mark to put against his name.

Because now the tumbler was full, almost over flowing, with the richest, brown tinged liquid, a couple of solemn looking ice cubes lay bobbing on the top. And House was slumped on the sofa, one arm across his chest, the other dangling to the floor.

Wilson daren't move the sleeping man. There was no need.

All it would achieve would be to remind them both how they had fucked up.

House's relapse and his failure.

It didn't stop him thinking, as he poured the whisky down the sink, how they had managed to get to this point.

He tries to remember; the things he had seen, the things he had heard, the things that were missed.

But the sums in his head don't add up.

He wish he could. He wish he could divide, simplify and equate. Create a formula to get the right answer.

An answer for the sorry situation.

But his math had always been a little suspect.

:( Well written and so sad! (Sorry, I suck at comments today).

[moose-mcmoose.livejournal.com]

A comment is a comment, no matter how small. And they always make me happy, so I have no qualms.

Cheers! XD

Makes perfect sense, this.

[moose-mcmoose.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to hear you think so. It's bugged me a bit how many people have been moaning that Wilson hasn't been taking enough notice of House recently. Personally, I don't think that's the case. It's more of a case of Wilson knowing something isn't right but can't quite connect it all up, whether it be through his own dense-ness or his inability to work out how to approach the situation.

/ end random and possibly OT comment LOL

Cheers for reading and commenting too!! ZD

Oh rant as much as you like. I agree with you and said so the other day, as much as I adore Wilson, and as much as he thinks he knows House, he gets it very wrong sometimes. He does notice when something is going on, but I don't think he can figure it out. Sure, it's obvious to us, but yeah, I do think Wilson can be adorably though frustratingly daft at times. Especially when it comes to House's feelings.

However, don't I just know that it will work out in the end somehow? It always does. Just hope no one gets killed along the way this time (as much as I dislike some or rather one character, I still don't like seeing them killed).

Very sad. The problem is, the signs were there if he had been paying attention. *sigh* Great fic!

[moose-mcmoose.livejournal.com]

Glad you enjoyed.

Cheers for reading and commenting XD

[fleurione.livejournal.com]

sad :( but great. love this Wilson.

(I don't actually have a sad House icon to use!)

[moose-mcmoose.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

Thanks for reading and commenting. Much appreciated!! XD

(I don't seem to have a sad House icon either *looks curiously)

[alternatealto.livejournal.com]

Sad, but very likely, based on present appearances. Man, I hate the turn this season has taken.

At least your Wilson has found a tiny piece of clue!

[moose-mcmoose.livejournal.com]

I know! It started off so light, with a hint of angst beneath. Now it's all waves of angst and emotional torture.

Thank the lord for fanfic!

Thanks for reading and commenting XD

[3rdgal12.livejournal.com]

Absolutely brilliant and so perfect for the season right now.

Thanks for sharing!

[moose-mcmoose.livejournal.com]

Glad you enjoyed it!!

Comments are <3 and muchos appreciated!! XD

[hibernia1.livejournal.com]

Aw, so, so, so sad... *moans* but very insightful & well done & real. Thanks a lot for sharing, you're rapidly becoming one of my favourite House-authors.

[moose-mcmoose.livejournal.com]

Haha more flattery to soothe my withered, non-existent ego. XD

Glad you enjoyed it but sorry for making you moan in a bad way.

Thanks for reading and commenting hib!

[christikat.livejournal.com]

Aw, that is really sad but rings very true for Wilson.

[moose-mcmoose.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you think so!!

Thanks for reading and commenting

(and I'm off to read the last chapters of Fundamental Changes now. ZOMG!)

[rividori.livejournal.com]

Ah yes, perfect sense. Very Wilson.
"Sorry situation" indeed. :(

[moose-mcmoose.livejournal.com]

Waaa....I hate the depressing, downbeat arc that the series is now taking. Can't we just have a sliver of sustained happiness?

Glad you liked it.

Thanks for reading and commenting XD

[rincewindy13.livejournal.com]

*is sad now*

Good fic though. Very IC. I just wish Wilson would get some more clues on the show...I am a bit scared of the finale tomorrow. (not because of Wilson, more because of the writers...)

[moose-mcmoose.livejournal.com]

They are both as bad as each other. House hides the clues and when Wilson gets them he doesn't really know what to do with them. They need both their heads bashed together.

Thanks for reading and commenting XD

[cuddyclothes.livejournal.com]

Wonderful little piece, like a small painting in dark hues. (Not Dark!Hugh.) Poor Wilson. Poor House.

[moose-mcmoose.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

Thanks for reading and commenting XD

[nadzingers.livejournal.com]

You made me feel depressed.

And that's a good thing!

Good job!

[moose-mcmoose.livejournal.com]

Lol I shall take your word for that. :D
