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

[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.

[recrudescence.livejournal.com]

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

[chocolate-frapp.livejournal.com]

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

[frankincensy.livejournal.com]

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

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

I hope so! Thanks. ♥

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.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Thanks. *blushes*

[blackmare.livejournal.com]

and a slot on cable, given the language

The structure and content of the scene is so perfect, though, and how much do I adore the last two lines?

As for a summary ... something simple, I would think. "A conversation on their way to Wilson's car," perhaps?

[warmdarkwoman.livejournal.com]

That's so wonderful and so them.

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

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!

[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 :)

[californiaquail.livejournal.com]

LOL.

[bammel.livejournal.com]

Aaaaahah, sweet catharsis. Thank you, ahaha. ♥

[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.

[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?

[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]

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

Happy Birthday! ILU ♥ ♥

[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.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

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

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

The tough thing is that even saying they're walking together is a spoiler for 5-4. Heh. I went with "Closing some circles after the events of 5-4."

I think House swears like a sailor when we can't see him... although he has a large vocabulary and doesn't have to, I still think he enjoys it. And Wilson's tongue may be silver but I don't think it's pure. : )

[talktidy.livejournal.com]

*stamps foot*

I want to see this on show.

[lana-ftw.livejournal.com]

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

LOL.

Awesome :]
