Summary: bittersweet redemption


When Wilson died on a Tuesday House didn't cry. He sat with his hand loosely embracing the others non responsive arm. He let his neck move downward until his chin was touching his collar. He kept his eye fixated on Wilson's closed ones. 

He sat in the silence of the room. All the machines were turned off and nothing but his own breathing to keep him company. The sounds outside were magnified but House refused to listen. It was only him and his last moment with his best friend. 

They'd gone pretty far on their trip but not far enough to beat cancer. It seemed that months could fly by in a heartbeat when all you wanted was them to slow the fuck down!!!

FUCK!! This wasn't happening. He couldn't breath. He took gulps of air and counted to ten, but he couldn't calm down-- then it happened, he laughed. A laugh so loud it startled him before the laugh turned into a sob. He quickly looked up to the ceiling to catch his breath. He pushed all feeling away both shaken and disgusted by his emotions. 

Once he felt numb he looked back down at Wilson's dead body and rubbed his thumb across quickly cooling skin. 

'I've never believed Wilson.  Don't believe now, but I god damn hope--" he paused and moved closer, his lips now where his thumb was stroking his arm. 

'you hear this...' 

He took a deep breath before he whispered into his skin, 'you're life meant something, James. You're not alone...'

He paused again and the words felt like sand paper as they slipped past his lips. 

'I love you...' 

It felt like bittersweet redemption once said and heart breaking remorse that it didn't come out until now. 

On Wednesday he call Foreman and he thankfully didn't have to tell him why.
