Summary: Closing some circles after the events of episode 5-4 (Spoilers to that point.)
Notes: For mer_duff on her birthday. Dialogue only. Thanks to hibernia1 for prompting this.

So we're friends again?

Yeah.

OK. You know it was a total dick statement when you said we were never friends.

It was?

Yeah. Total dick. After everything I did for you about Amber.

Everything you did? You mean harassing her, hassling her, trying to break us up?

I mean running around for two days with a cracked skull trying to save her life. I mean sticking electrodes in my brain to satisfy your damn curiosity.

Oh. House... fuck, I didn't think about it that way.

No, you didn't. You never do.

Fuck!

Spend two months going through her file trying to find the flaw in my medicine, then have the nerve to say I was never your friend.

Jesus, House. Christ. I didn't -- Huh. I was going to say, 'I didn't mean it,' but yeah, I did mean it at the time. I was just... wrong. Looking at an incomplete picture.

You do that a lot.

Fuck.

You gonna apologize?

I'm sorry, House. I'm sorry for not recognizing and acknowledging what you did for me.

Good.

You gonna apologize?

For what?

Harassing Amber, trying to break us up, almost costing me my job twice, getting all my assets seized?

I apologized for the Tritter shit.

You apologized for blaming me for the Tritter shit; you didn't actually apologize for getting me sucked into the Tritter shit. Or for getting yourself mired in the Tritter shit.

Why would I have to apologize to you for getting myself in trouble?

Because I care about you, you dumb shit! Because it hurts me when you hurt yourself!

Oh. I just think you're pathetic when you hurt yourself.

Yeah, I got that.

Wilson?

Yeah?

I'm sorry.

You sure are. Pathetic, even.

Fuck you.

Fuck you too. Let's go have dinner.

Give me some drugs so I can tell you I love you.

I love you too, dumbass.

No, thank you for writing this and making me (and many others as well, no doubt)feel a lot better!

[phinnia.livejournal.com]

yes. yes yes. this is what happened. *nods* Especially the last part.
<3

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

I hope so! Thanks. ♥

[blackmare.livejournal.com]

And it would take, what? A minute, a minute and a half, for the show to actually do this?

*sigh*

Thanks, Dee.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

A minute and a half, and a slot on cable, given the language. Heh. But yeah, it really wouldn't have to take a long time to have Wilson and House address these issues a bit.

(I also, as I was writing this, realized that Wilson going over Amber's medical file trying to find a fault in House's medicine would be offensive to House too.)

PS. Do you have any suggestions for the summary? It's too vague right now, I think, and given the rants I've made lately people might get the wrong idea.

[recrudescence.livejournal.com]

*sighs contently* No one does dialogue-only quite like you.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Thanks. *blushes*

[chocolate-frapp.livejournal.com]

yeah, god, they should have done this. i can hear Hugh and Robbie's voices saying this.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It's my deep-down, crazy, never-happen-in-a-million-years wish for the two of them to record one of my dialogue-only fics some day. They wouldn't even have to practice; just a table read would be fine. Mmmm.

[frankincensy.livejournal.com]

This is just perfect. I can hear every line as spoken in their voices. Awesome.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! Hib and I were conversing through comments, and this just came pouring out.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! *hugs back* *wishes for House-Wilson hugs*

[warmdarkwoman.livejournal.com]

That's so wonderful and so them.

*sigh* I wish this show was on premium cable.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

My latest wish has been for the show to stay on network but have an additional half-hour on premium cable for just the House/Wilson stuff. :D Thanks.

You apologized for blaming me for the Tritter shit; you didn't actually apologize for getting me sucked into the Tritter shit. Or for getting yourself mired in the Tritter shit. I so very much agree with this. Lots of fun!

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

I've always felt the apology in the Tritter arc wasn't exactly on point. :-/ Thanks!

[dreamsofspike.livejournal.com]

oh this was soooo necessary!!! :) hehe... very comforting to get the closure i think was lacking from the ep :) well done, hon :)

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much. This was definitely a closure I wanted to see.

[californiaquail.livejournal.com]

LOL.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[bammel.livejournal.com]

Aaaaahah, sweet catharsis. Thank you, ahaha. ♥

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ♥

[mer-duff.livejournal.com]

Thank you! This is so much love. I especially loved:

I'm sorry.
You sure are. Pathetic, even.

That is totally how Wilson would respond. Such an awesome birthday story.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Wilson knows how to dish out the joke insults when he has to. :D

Happy Birthday! ILU ♥ ♥

[hannahrorlove.livejournal.com]

Would the summary "airing of grievances" work?

And can I say how annoying it is that fandom has to pick up the emotional slack from the show, and how glad I am you were the one to do it?

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Good thought on the summary. It got me to thinking, and I came up with "closing some circles."

I have some hope that the issue might come around again on the show, but was too impatient to wait. Thanks!

[shutterbug-12.livejournal.com]

Teehee. Aw, boys. That was awesome, and a shame we couldn't see something like this. Perhaps there's hope yet.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

I hope there's hope! Thanks.

[talktidy.livejournal.com]

*stamps foot*

I want to see this on show.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

We'll see! Not so much cursing, probably, but there may be something like it some day. Maybe? Thanks.

[lana-ftw.livejournal.com]

"Give me some drugs so I can tell you I love you."

LOL.

Awesome :]

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Thanks! : )

[cindy-lou-who8.livejournal.com]

This must be canon. :)

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

I wish! Thanks. : )

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

So glad you liked it. Thanks!

[remydoodle.livejournal.com]

It's about time this conversation took place.
Fantastic!

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[poeia.livejournal.com]

Happy.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[cherryfeather.livejournal.com]

Wonderful.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[genagirl.livejournal.com]

So IC it's scary! I can picture them both walking down the hall having this conversation in the elevator and out into the lobby!!

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks so much. ♥

[feanix.livejournal.com]

I love you too, dumbass.

Too good.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Thank you. : )
