Notes: Quick ficlet; unbeta’ed; written while feverish

When House burst into the office, Wilson was standing behind his desk, shuffling through various files and things – literally paper-pushing, House noted with a smirk. Whatever. He didn’t have time to worry about it.

“I need you to come talk my patient into a highly invasive but really, really cool test.” House spotted Wilson’s coffee and snagged it. A few well-placed hints about Wilson putting on the poundage, and Wilson had quit oversweetening it, so it was finally perfect for House to drink. He peered down through the little hole in the lid; half the cup left, awesome.

“Can’t,” Wilson said. “Gotta go.”

This was an unannounced change in Wilson’s schedule. Curiosity made House stop with the cup only an inch from his lips. “Why?”

“Because I’ve got –” Wilson finally looked up and his eyes widened to amusing, cartoon proportions. “House, no, don’t!”

Yeah, right. House took a gigantic swig and swallowed it with relish. He smacked his lips just to show Wilson who was boss and then said, “You were saying?”

Wilson’s shoulders dropped and he sighed. “I’ve got strep throat.”

BWAH! Oh, House, you totally deserve that.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

It's bound to happen one of these days. A French fry off a plate full of them is one thing, but biting out of already-bitten bagels & sandwiches? Swigs out of coffee cups? That's a lot of spit swapped.

*facepalm*

I hope YOU do not have strep throat! *hugs from a safely germ-free e-distance and offers turkey soup*

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Mmmm, soup, thank you. Rapid test was negative, but if it's not strep throat, it's a virus that mimics it very well. Yuck.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

LOL serves you right, House :DD

Btw, I'm totally enjoying House Season 3. Tritter is such a jerk. And I re-read your fic where Wilson went to prison for House.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

It does serve him right!

What episode are you up to in S3? Tritter is a total jerk, and I thought the calm, cool attitude suited the situation, made him totally creepy.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

It's the episode with the dwarf mother :)

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Oh, she's awesome. Love her.

[phinnia.livejournal.com]

D'oh!
*giggles*
He so totally deserves it, too. <3

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

He does deserve it, doesn't he? He's still going to make Wilson feel guilty though, I suspect.

[purridot.livejournal.com]

OH NO! I hope he didn't get mono from Cameron ;-)

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Nope (hee hee), just strep throat.

[pwcorgigirl.livejournal.com]

Ha! Oh, lovely, and that serves House right for needling Wilson about his weight.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Seems like it's bound to happen at some point, with how often House drinks Wilson's drinks and eats his food. : )

[idonmatrix.livejournal.com]

Oh that was a perfect Thanksgiving gift. It made me totally giggle at the end. Thank you!!

And to the Aftershocks' writer underneath the weather - snuggles and huggles - feel better soon :)

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

I'm still feeling ill but am hopeful tomorrow will be better!

[recrudescence.livejournal.com]

This made me giggle. I hope you're faring better than Wilson.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Thanks. It's been a rough couple of days but with any luck I'm on my way up.

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

his eyes widened to amusing, cartoon proportions
*lol* Can totally see it...

Feel better soon, buddy. :)

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Thanks. : )

[hi-falootin.livejournal.com]

vrry cute, dee :)

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

tyvm : )

[axmxz.livejournal.com]

LOL! Pwned.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

But you know Wilson's going to feel guilty... Thanks!

[axmxz.livejournal.com]

Guilty, why? He didn't do anything wrong. House punished himself.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Because, even though House did it to himself, he wouldn't have strep throat if not for Wilson.

I didn't say Wilson should feel guilty, only that he would. : (

[axmxz.livejournal.com]

I think he won't. Wilson is, at heart, a bit of a bastard. :)

[darkroom-whoser.livejournal.com]

I think this comment made me laugh as much as the story, which was so great, did. Wilson is a bit of a bastard.

[daasgrrl.livejournal.com]

I may... have actually 'oh/euww'd out loud at the screen just then. LOL.

(The 'feverish' doesn't sound good - I hope you've taken two paracetamol and will call me in the morning!)

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Yuck, indeed!

I was on ibuprofen, then acetamenophin, now both. I think the fever's finally knocked out; now just the sore throat and headache to deal with! *thumbs up*

Happy Unremarkable Thursday!

[blackmare.livejournal.com]

Dee, this completely cracked me up. I really, really didn't see the punch line coming, and it's so perfect.

Serves House right. Hee.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Maybe that'll teach him!

Probably not, though. Hee.

[daisylily.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Wonderful!

I wouldn't put it past Wilson to pretend that he had a strep throat, just to get back at House XD

I hope you are feeling MUCH BETTER now - have a lolly.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Wilson could so pull off a lie like that, too, but this time he's telling the truth. : (

Thank you for the lolly. I think the fever's broken and with any luck I'll be back to fully better by tomorrow.

[topaz-eyes.livejournal.com]

Heee! Serves House right. He's in infectious diseases, shouldn't he know better? :-D

(I hope you're feeling better soon, too!)

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

He should know better! All these times he's eaten Wilson's food (from the part already bitten into), and it never occurred to me that an Infectious Diseases guy should know better than anyone not to do that. Kind of lends credence to the "secretly sleeping together" theory, because if they're already swapping spit, then why not?

(Feeling a little better today - fever seems to have broken - hoping to be back to normal tomorrow. Thanks!)

[karaokegal.livejournal.com]

Score one for Mr. Jimmy!

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Yes! Except now they've both got strep throat, yuck. And you know House is going to be all bitchy and whiny and make Wilson play nurse.

Take that whatever way you want. : )

[elynittria.livejournal.com]

LOL! What a perfect scene—I wish it could be incorporated into the show. :D

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It seems like it should happen some day...

[nighteyes-seras.livejournal.com]

...And my next thought really was that now everyone's going to be convinced they're sleeping together when they both come down with strep throat at the exact same time.
Take that, Greg House. >D

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Hee, hee; I didn't even think of that. >D

Thanks!
