Another old fragment I'm discarding, from Nov. 2006. It was going to be part of a future fic. It's goopy-schmoopy but I kind of like how it's phrased.
***
"You caught me."
It's not actually funny but House laughs anyway. He's been laughing a lot lately. Everything seems to tickle his funny bone, and it suddenly occurs to Wilson that House is now, in general, happy. The realization brings a small prickly lump to his throat. After all the years of trying so hard to help House feel better, it turned out that letting go and letting House take control was what did the trick.
House's eyes are narrowing - he probably sees the glistening in Wilson's eyes. Time to distract him. Wilson stares up at the ceiling and puts one arm behind his head.
