One Thought 💭
House provokes Wilson into getting what he wants…or does he?
(This is also prompt number 36 on the prompt list that I’ll be tagging in my pinned)
Lee: House 🏡
Ler: Wilson 🖊️
Word count: ≈2000
“You’re doing this on purpose…”
An already annoyed Wilson drew, his fingers tapping against his desk.
“I’m doing nothing of the sorts, you absolute wack job.”
House retorted, a smirk making its way across his face.
“Yes you are, you’ve been way more annoying than usual…”
Wilson gritted through his teeth..
“Oh, come on…Just being myself. Just like you told me to, Dr. Dipshit. You know, you really shouldn’t go into motivational speaking if you don’t expect people to take the advice, Idiot…”
House drew, his smirk remaining plastered to his face.
“See?! You just did it again! You’ve been calling me names all day!”
Wilson’s voice rose as he pointed a finger at House.
“And this is different from usual…how?” House flatly responded.
Wilson got up from his chair and made his way towards House, a vein began to throb in his forehead.
“It’s different from usual because it’s less clever, more basic. I’m surprised with you, if I’m being honest.”
Wilson stated as calmly as possible.
“So, I’m not on my A game today, big whoop! It’s not like you actually look forward to the banter, you bi-“
“You want something and you can’t ask me for it.”
Wilson cuts him off by poking into House’s sternum, a giggle swiftly escaping his lips.
“Oh yeah? P-prove it then..” House stuttered, his smirk wobbling into a smile.
Wilson paused, bringing a finger to his lips to contemplate.
“Hmmmm….No.”
Wilson quickly walked out of his office with Manila folders, leaving House alone in his office.
“Alrighty…”
House’s smile noticeably dropped, his typical ploy clearly not working today.
As lunch time rolled around, House tried to catch up with Wilson to steal the fries off his lunch plate but, was disappointed to see that he was nowhere to be found. Perplexed, he went down to the parking lot and noticed that his car was nowhere to be found either.
“That’s strange, Wilson has never gone out for lunch.”
House thought, making his way back to his own office with a dissatisfied look and a $1.25 vending machine trail mix.
“Was it something I said?”
“Did I make him upset?”
“Is it my fault he left?”
“It’s always my fault they leave..”
House was caught in thought when Cuddy entered his office, his eyes not even looking up from fiddling with his pen
“Hey, you’re good to go. Turns out it was Lupu-“
She pauses as she approached his desk, her eye’s immediately drawn to the angry scrawling in House’s notepad
“Yeah, yeah. Figures. It’s never Lupus but, today it is…”
“Of course it is..”
He slammed with notepad closed and got up from his desk.
“What’s wrong with you today? You’ve been more sour than usual since noon…” Cuddy asked.
“It’s…nothing. I’ll be my normal amount of dickish tomorrow. I’ll…see you in the morning.”
He responded, making his way out of his office.
Cuddy sighed and let it be for now.
As House made it to the parking lot, he was surprised to see that Wilson had waited for him.
“I was wondering when you’d finally finish up, anything interesting?”
Wilson asked, with a twinge of genuine curiosity.
“Nope…fucking Lupus…”
House stated before abruptly getting into Wilson’s passenger side.
“Really? It’s never Lupus…”
The door slammed loudly..
After they had arrived in their shared apartment, Wilson sat in his normal spot in the couch. House debated between sitting next to him and sitting at his piano bench but, was interrupted by Wilson grabbing him by his shirt and dragging him into the couch. House sat there for a moment before gently leaning his head into Wilson’s shoulder. They breathed together for quite some time, the TV not even turned on yet.
“I’m sorry…”
House spoke, breaking the slightly uncomfortable silence.
Wilson’s head cocked to the side, a surprised look taking over his face.
“For what exactly?” He asked as he turned his head to meet House’s regretful gaze, clearly forgetting his frustration from earlier.
“I’m sorry for calling you unnecessary, rude names.”
“I’m sorry for making your job harder today. For making your job harder every single day..”
“For being cruel to you.”
“For pushing you away…acting like I didn’t want something from you..”
“For being an asshole...”
“I’m sorry for being…me”
House’s voice faltered, nearly breaking towards the end of his rambling.
Wilson’s eyes softened as he saw tears beginning to form in House’s eyes, beckoning to trickle down.
“Hey now…there’s no need for tha-“
“But it’s the truth! I make your life so much harder than it has to be.
Every day, you put up with my bullshit, and for what??
How do you just roll with the punches I throw and not hate me for it?
How can I be anything to you if I can’t even voice my needs to you like a normal human being?!?”
House yelled, voice breaking fully with tears rolling down his cheeks. A lump began to grow in Wilson’s throat, gnawing against his larynx.
“I-I could never hate you..even if you act hateful when you don’t mean it.”
Wilson wiped away at House’s tears, his palm landing at his cheek.
“I don’t understand…”
House grasped overtop Wilson’s hand, the tears flowing between their fingers.
“You don’t have to. Not everything is some big mystery for you to figure out. Sometimes, it’s just face value.”
Wilson replied, smiling as he ran his thumb across House’s jaw.
House stiffened slightly, goosebumps raising near where Wilson touched.
“Now, about that thing you wanted?” Wilson tapped his left ring finger against House’s neck, his golden band noticeably absent.
“I-I…ummmm….”
House stuttered, biting his lying silver tongue
He had nowhere to go
Nowhere to hide now.
It was all out in the open.
“Well?~”
Wilson hummed, a smirk that matched House’s earlier cockiness began to form.
House looked away, taking a deep breath to speak.
“I…..would really like if you..were to….err…hypothet-umm”
He tried desperately to beat around the bush, a cherry red blush burning through his stubble.
Wilson began to chuckle, an all too knowing smile on his face.
“Well, come on..Tell me exactly what you need. I need to be sure, you know?~” Wilson drew, his pinky finger joined his ring finger to tap at House’s neck.
“You knew the whole time. Didn’t you?”
House chuckled a bit, scrunching his neck up against Wilson’s fingers.
“Knew what, Snickers~?”
Wilson asked innocently as he teasingly fluttered at House’s neck.
“D-dAmmit Wihihilson! You know what I want! I wahAhant you t-to…to..t-ti..”
House stuttered just before the dreaded word just long enough for Wilson’s eyebrows to raise, a look of realization took over his face as he ceased his twitching fingers.
“Oh my god. That’s why you never ask for it…You can’t say the word..”
“Can you?”
House froze, the tips of his ears now blaring a deep red.
“I-I…Umm..ummmmmmm…”
He looked down, not able to quite meet Wilson’s eyes.
“Iwantyoutotickleme…”
House barely murmured
“I’m sorry, I couldn’t hear you…”
He cupped a hand behind his own ear
“What was that?”
Wilson asked, his fingers poised to attack at House’s ribs.
“I-I want y-you to t-ti-tihihihi! T-Ti-T-tihihi! Oh gohohod dammit!!”
House could feel the word teasing on the tip of his tongue through his sweet bubbly giggles.
“Oh my gosh, I’m not even touching you and you’re just a giggly mess.. This is incredible. I’ve absolutely broken you and I didn’t even have to do anything~”
Wilson purred, eagerly wriggling at the air as he patiently waited for House’s word to strike.
“Wilsonnnn, plehehease..”
“Please what?~”
“Pleeeaseeee…”
“Please whaaat?~”
House firmly placed Wilson’s hands atop his middle ribs, much to Wilson’s surprise.
“Please….”
“I want you to say it~”
“I-I really want you to t-t-tickle me, o-ok? Please, Wilson~?”
His eyes now fully averting from Wilson, who’s eyes now glistened, practically filled with stars.
“O-ok..there. You satisfied with thaHAhAhaHahAt!!”’
House burst into laughter as Wilson happily dug into his ribs.
“Very much so, I’ve been waiting all day to do this!”
Wilson replied, bouncing between his 3rd and 5th sets of ribs.
“Nohohoho wahahahay!!”
House’s hands crashed into his face, his muffled giggles and burning blush still having nowhere to hide.
“Yes way~…Wait that sounded kind of silly..” Wilson paused as he brought his hands to just under House’s arms
”No way, yes way, perhaps way? Maybe way? Possibly way?”
“EehehehEhEHe! Y-you’re absolutely ridihihihihiculous! AHahAhahaHa!”
House giggled, squirming against the arm of the couch
“Only for you, Honey~BzzzzBzzzz!”
Wilson buzzed as he added a good dose of nuzzling to the mix.
“NAhHahA!! Wihihihilson!!”
House nearly squeaked, curling into himself with laughter.
“There is no Wilson, only bees! BzzzzzzBzzzzz! BzzBzzzzBzzzz!!!”
Wilson insisted, buzzing up from House’s neck to land on the shell of his ear.
“NohoHohoHo!!! Plehehehase NahaHaHat the bEeHeehees!!!”
House giggled, playfully swatting at Wilson’s face.
“You can’t escape the bees! They’re everywhere! Bzzzzz! Bzzzzbzzzbzz!”
Wilson continued to buzz against his ear while sneaking his spidering nails under House’s shirt, skittering just below his navel.
“GEhEhEt *snrk!* thehehem *snrk!* out ohohof ThEheheHere! Eeheehehe!!!”
House played along with Wilson’s bit, snickering into the couch.
“Hold on, lemme ask them..”
Wilson used one hand to push House’s shirt up, looking to speak to the bees.
“Bzzzt! BzzzzBzzbzzbzzbzzbzzzzz?”
He knelt down to buzz against House’s side as his skittering nails trailed up his ribs.
“WAITWAITWAHAHAHAHAIT!!!!”
House’s back arched upwards, his own arms hugging around his chest in an X. He could no longer speak as his boisterous laughter filled the room, a bright smile plastering his across his blushing face.
Wilson couldn’t be for certain but, if swore if he looked close enough, he could see dimples forming in his cheeks.
“What? I’m trying to talk some sense into them? Oh Christ, see what you’ve done? They’re splitting up now, need to cover more territory..”
Wilson chuckled, taking one of his skittering hands down to just above House’s waist line and the other fluttering oh so lightly between his collarbones.
“OHOHO SHIHIHI *SNRK!* HIHIT!!!! NAHAHAHAT *SNRK!* THAHAHAT!!”
House was now thrashing against the couch, his crossed arms gripping at his shoulders. Unfortunately for an already broken House, this trapped Wilson’s fluttery fingers directly above his sternum.
“It’s funny you choose that position, considering you’ve quite literally dug your own grave.. I’ll speak well of you at your burial~”
Wilson dropped his voice as he whispered into House’s ear, dropping the bit to peck just behind the shell of it. He began to tap into House’s sternum, his other hand clawing at his tummy with one finger digging into his navel. Poor pitiful House was in hysterics, his broken squealing interrupted with snorts and hiccups.
“Is this what you were looking for? Hmmmm? To just absolutely lose yourself in laughter? With not a thought to have except about how much it tickles? Is this what you wanted from me? Hmmmm~?”
Wilson teased right next to his ear, a devilishly cocky smile on his face.
House gave Wilson the tiniest of nods as his arms squeezed tightly for a moment around Wilson’s arm, moving his own hands to stifle his staggering breathy laughter.
House’s attempts at thinking or forming words were swiftly cut off by his wheezy laughter and Wilson’s fluttering hands.
The one thought that plagued his melted mind?
“It tickles so damn bad”
