Gravity (Part 2)

[moose_mcmoose]

Okay okay....I was in the mood to write something to bum me out. Soooo..... this is the product of my urges.
It's sort of the second part to Gravity so if you haven't read that then you kind of need it to get on with this bit.

Title: Gravity (Part 2)
Rating: R (saaad)
Characters: house/Wilson
Words: 245
Summary: Sequel to/Part 2 of Gravity. Still sad, still depressing. oh yeah and >>>>>> character death!

He was cold. So very cold.

House tried to warm Wilson up by cradling him close, pressing his friend's face into his chest. But Wilson stayed cold, like a glacier resistant to the glare of the sun.

There was no note; the room was as sparse as ever. Just a chair toppled over in the middle of the bedroom and two feet dangling, swaying gracefully from side to side as if caught in a gentle breeze, told House what had occurred.

He had moved as fast as he could, holding Wilson's weight on his good side and aggressively cutting through the material with scissors using the other free hand. Before House had managed to lay Wilson on the floor he knew he was gone. The wide glassy eyes and the half open mouth complete with blue tinged lips signified Wilson was no longer with him.

Then the tears came.

Hard, fast and unrelenting. Coursing down his cheeks and onto Wilson's light blue shirt.

House had experienced pain before, both physical and mental. But never had he felt such pain with such loss.

He lay his head onto Wilson's, inhaling the scent of the familiar shampoo, before conjuring the strength to lift him onto the bed. He tenderly pushed Wilson's eyelids shut, unable to deal with the dead empty stare from Wilson's eyes.

This wasn't how it was supposed to be.

House planted a soft kiss on his forehead before turning away and collapsing to his knees.

Dear Lord, sad hardly even begins to describe it, it's heartbreaking. Very well written though, thanks for sharing!

Hmm maybe 'sad' is a slightly weak word. But i didn't want to put people off :)

Thanks for your comments and for taking the time to read it. And my god you were quick to comment, like a gazelle. :D

Much appreciated

I'm the quickest cripple alive!

Aw sorry it was too sad. I promise the next thing I write will be something more cheery. I was in a bit of a miserable mood when I wrote this it must be said.

Thanks for reading and commenting though

I just want to let you know that you made me cry. How am I supposed to sleep now? Still very, very well written.

[moose-mcmoose.livejournal.com]

Whoops. Erm...sorry about destroying the sleep you were about to get. Have some complimentary virtual cake as an apology.... http://ninijeanie.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/chocolate-cake-sl-1110246-l.jpg

Thanks for reading and commenting. Much appreciated.

WOW, I thought Gravity was heartbreaking but this was even more so. Very good imagery and well written and oh so very sad :( Thanks for sharing!!!

[moose-mcmoose.livejournal.com]

It was...sorry about that. I felt like writing misery.

And thanks for the kind comments. Much love coming your way for those.

Thanks for reading and commenting. :D

Powerful and heartbreaking, but in a way, the sequel brings closure. Excellent job.

[moose-mcmoose.livejournal.com]

Aw thanks a bunch. I'm always flattered when i get awesome comments from you. :D

Cheers for reading and commenting :D

The heartbreak is killing me. It sure is. :'(

[moose-mcmoose.livejournal.com]

Is it worthy of just the one tissue or maybe a few more?

I don't go out of my way to make people cry I promise... though it is kind of nice when people are touched by it.

Thanks for reading and commenting. Much appreciated :)

Oh definitely a couple more. I'd be the kind of person who's mind will start racing while reading something like this. What is House going to do without Wilson? What drove Wilson to kill himself? But I also like it in a way that because this is short, the answers to all those questions are up to me. I can chose.

I both love and hate open endings, that's for sure.

I loved this little story, both of them, so much though. I always think that Wilson is probably suicidal somewhat. Sometimes. Even though he is clearly upset whenever House plays with his life. Doesn't mean he might not feel like doing the same sometimes.

Head spinning now.

"But I also like it in a way that because this is short, the answers to all those questions are up to me. I can chose"

That's exactly what I was going for. A reader's mind is always better at creating complex answers so I always think it is better to leave it to the reader's imagination (although I am sure there are some uber talented writers out there who can convey such things in words. I don't think I am one of them so I don't really try to). It's why I love movies with open endings, like Vertigo..(SPOILER) did she jump or did she fall? My boyfriend hated that ending but I loved it.

I'm so glad you liked it though. Makes all the sitting, staring at the computer screen worth it.

And don't make yourself dizzy ;)

I know what you mean, I don't think I am one of those writers either. I can't even come up with anything thats longer than a few sentences. My imagination comes up with moments. Statements. Or a particular feeling. I would have aweful problems stringing those together to form a story.

In that way, I am much happier iconing. I think. I can focus on one thing at a time. (Coincidentally I also enjoy my working environment like that, the job I had before seemed to chaotic to me and it was utterly frustrating.)

Anyhoo. I'm fine. I do like a good story to make my day. Even if it's a very sad one. Oh my God. My boys! ♥
