Not Friends

[deelaundry]

From the S5 post-ep I'm not going to write:

"You said we weren't friends."

"You said you were going to trample my feelings, ignore what I want, use my compassion against me, and risk a patient's life in order to get what you want. Does that sound like friendship to you?"

"You asked me to risk my life, and even worse my mind, on the slim chance it would save your girlfriend of a couple of months. Does that sound like friendship to you?"

"'Girlfriend of a couple of months' implies a lot less love than I actually had for her... but no, it doesn't sound like friendship. Which is why I said it as 'we,' instead of saying you weren't a friend to me."

Oh, I never said I was satisfied with the way they handled these things. Just that in comparison to other friendships we see on TV, House and Wilson are so far beyond the norm even with what we are shown. I try to appreciate that rather than making myself crazy because of all the places they just zoom right past the opportunities to really explore things between those two.
