A/N – These drabbles are a second lot of responses a challenge to listen to an albulm and write a drabble based on each track. A dozen drabbles, all unrelated, mostly House / Wilson and wilfully ignoring later canon. Albulm is 'Up the Bracket' by The Libertines.
Up the Bracket
You're bold when you're young and fit.
When you can run away.
I once had someone I loved.
She run from me.
Now there's a man I have to depend on. He sticks out the physiotherapy and the vidocin and the nightmares. I can't run away anymore, so... If I was fit, I could leave before he does, and he will, I know. I wish I could run from him.
But I'm a cripple and a coward, a dog heeling a master. I wish...I was so bold when I first kissed Stacey.
I wish I could be that bold again.
