Wilson loves House. Loves him with all that he is but he has never told him outright. There have been allusions and thinly veiled substitutes but

those three one-syllable words eluded him. He was too scared to tell House because he wasn't sure how House felt about him. One night he lay

entwined in the octopus known as Greg House, James Wilson pondered those words, "I love you." His hands traversed the broad expanse of his

lover's chest as he thought. Greg opened one eye sleepily and looked at Wilson with that "look" of his. "What are you thinking about?"

Wilson smiled up at his lover and decided it was now or never. "How much I love you." Both House's eyes shot open at that remark. His piercing

blue-eyed gaze seemed to search Wilson's very soul, as if he was trying to make sure Wilson wasn't lying. "You love me? Why?" Wilson had

expected that question but he had yet to figure out how to answer it. At that moment he knew exactly what to say. "Why? Simply because you're

you. Before you say it, yes I know it sounds lame but there is not one thing about you that I don't love." He leaned up and kissed his love soundly

before House could come back with one of his biting remarks. House broke the kiss first and ran his hand along Wilson's jaw as he said, "Me too."

Wilson knew at that moment it was true. He would never be scared of those words again.
