Summary: 1sentence Challenge Little snippets into House and Chase's relation ship. House x ChaseHouse x Wilson
Disclaimer: I don't own House, M.D., as it belongs to its respective owners (whom I am oblivious of). I also don't own IPod... Though, I do have RCA Lyra… Damn. I don't own Savage Garden's "A Thousand Words" either... Shit... Then there's LiveJournal and 1sentence Challange which really aren't mine...
Rants: I know, I know. That damned Ookami posted another House, M.D. fanfic. Once again, this might be rather weak, but it's kind of the basis for another fic idea I've been toying around with. So if anyone cares about my works, look in here for hints. I mean, seriously, go figure. Oh, and I really don't have anything against Wilson. My OTP for the fandom is House x Chase, but House x Wilson is excellent if done right as well. :) And uh... I was going to say something else, but now I don't remember... OH! Kudos to anyone who recognized the title! It's actually a line from "A Thousand Words" by Savage Garden. (Bitter Laughter) And I didn't really do the 1sentence challange on LiveJournal. I mean, I wasn't slotted to do it. I did it for the hell of it.
Comfort – Chase pat the older male's back awkwardly doing his best to ignore the quiet, uncharacteristic sniffles escaping from between the fingers hiding House's face.
Kiss – House wasn't sure what drove him to do it and the extreme discomfort and confusion on Chase's face after the rough kiss was enough to entertain him for the rest of the day.
Soft – House had come to associate Chase with soft after entering the younger male's apartment and lying on the couch they both melted into, covered in the soft and fluffy mink blanket.
Pain – Chase knew House was in pain, the damn pills he took showed that, yet when they tumbled out of the bed and he landed on the older male's leg and the pain showed on his face did it occur to Chase how bad it really was.
Potatoes – House hated rabbit food, as he liked to call it, and even when Chase cooked his ass off for Thanksgiving House had to mention the damn mashed potatoes, carrots and celery outnumbered everything else there.
Rain – Chase loved standing in the rain, and even on occasion could be found dancing in it, much to House's displeasure.
Chocolate – After spending many years around women (at home and at work) House had come to learn that chocolate was a sacred thing, however, he was surprised to learn that Chase loved it just as much as Stacy did when PMS hit in.
Happiness – At first, what he had with House only brought about bitter emotions of selling himself out, then content-ness, worth, and pleasure, but the day Chase realized what he had with House brought about Happiness he nearly choked to death on his cereal.
Telephone – Chase would call House one million times, and the damned male would never pick up, but the day he borrowed Wilson's cell and House finally answered his telephone Chase was heartbroken.
Ears – If House had learned one thing from sleeping with Chase, it was that his ears were his sensitive spot, and he had taking a knack to nibbling on the lobe whenever they were alone or at the most inappropriate of moments.
Name – Chase never much cared for what House moaned in his sleep, but after a while he noticed that Wilson's name was popping up a lot in the middle of the night.
Sensual – Chase's touch was feather-light, whether it was accidental brushings at work, or the experienced caresses he used while they were entangled together in bed.
Death – Working at a hospital as a doctor, one would think that Chase could handle the sight of people dying, but upon hearing about his mother's death he was crushed, and House was left to pick up the pieces.
Sex – At first, it had only been about sex and an attempt to satisfy urges they'd both been feeling, and by the gods it felt like the best sex either of them had had in years.
Touch – Chase had grown accustomed to House's rough and clumsy touch, much as the other had come accustomed to his feather-light ones, and when Wilson had managed to steal House from him, both of them could still feel the ghost of the other's touch.
Weakness – While Chase had many weaknesses, such as cute girls, kittens, chocolate, and his ears, he had yet to find any of House's, which pissed him off because he hated being at the disadvantage.
Tears – Even as he wiped the tears from his eyes, shoving the other male away, he swore he wasn't crying, after all, he didn't really care House was leaving him for that lying, thieving jackass Wilson.
Speed – House liked going fast, this didn't come as a surprise anyone, and watching him speed away on the motorcycle seemed right to Chase, as if that was exactly where he was meant to be.
Wing – Sometimes, when House is dreaming, Chase has feathery white wings like an Angel, and for some reason, that thought never really bothered him.
Freedom – One of the great things about being single was the emotional freedom he was allowed, yet Chase had to have been a hell of a masochist because he always needed to be with someone who demanded all of his love, even if they didn't really love him back.
Life – House lay on the couch, Chase curled up against him with a bowl of popcorn just out of his reach, and he realized, he wouldn't mind laying like this for the rest of his life, but only if Chase would share the damn popcorn.
Jealousy – Chase walked in to see House and Wilson laughing, and he bit back the bitter remark, handed House the file and left, but that didn't stop either of the men noticing the jealous look that had remained in the blonde's eyes.
Hands – House liked Chase's hands, which he knew was a weird thought, but they were slim, quick, warm, and felt perfectly matched with his own.
Taste – For Chase, a lot of things revolved around taste, which amused House to no end, and the only food he was willing to share with the other was unbelievably godlike, and tasted like the best damn food in the world.
Devotion – House hated sleeping with Wilson, because the male would always regret not being faithful to his wife, and they both knew poor Chase, while clueless, was still hopelessly devoted to his bitter co-worker.
Forever – House never promised 'forever', because he liked to remind Chase that 'forever' was a god-awful long time and nothing ever really lasted that long anyway.
Blood – So technically the sight of blood shouldn't really have surprised House much, but watching the liquid trickle down Chase's arm invoked a kind of terror and anger in him he knew shouldn't be there.
Sickness – As a doctor, Chase reasoned he was supposed to diagnose and cure any sickness he came across, however, seeing House stuck in bed with the flu brought about a twisted guilty pleasure of watching the other male squirm, sweat and moan.
Melody – It surprised Chase at first, to learn that House was the kind of person to always have music playing at home, and on his IPod, but after a while he got some of the damn melodies stuck in his head at the oddest of times.
Star – Chase had a gold star sticker on his fridge, one that House teased him about relentlessly, but a faint blush rose to the blonde's cheeks every time he thought about his old third grade teacher.
Home – House's place was just a house, and no matter how often he stayed there, even after he sort of move in, Chase still found it hard to call the place 'home'.
Confusion – After House kicked him out and left him for the damned Wilson, Chase was lost in a web of tears, anger and confusion as he struggled to find exactly what it was he did wrong.
Fear – Chase had an insane fear of garden gnome's, one House had yet to figure out why, and when one ended up sitting on the kitchen table, though it honestly wasn't House's fault Chase refused to speak to him for a week.
Lightning/Thunder – While Chase claimed he wasn't afraid of storms, he still liked to cuddle against House wrapped in the other's arms, never sleeping a wink until the storm passed, and sometimes House would stay up with him, just holding him.
Bonds – They say bonds of friendship are hard to break, but whoever had the gall to say that was the stupidest man alive, Chase thought bitterly, because he hadn't once talked to Wilson ever since that day, even though the two of them had come to be close friends.
Market – Chase liked going to the Farmer's Market for fresh fruits and vegetables because as a cook he liked to know what he did was good, and the day he was too sick to go House was forced to suffer through the whining.
Technology – While technology was indeed a blessing, it was also a curse, because while he loved the damn computer to death, House still couldn't figure out how to fix it for the life of him, and hated resorting to Chase for help.
Gift – The small colourfully wrapped present still lay on his desk, and House stared at it for what seemed like hours, because he hadn't known he was supposed to get a gift for Chase for Christmas too.
Smile – Chase had a cute smile, warm and bright, and every time House saw it he had the urge to kiss the damn blonde just to wipe it off of his face.
Innocence – One of the first things House noticed about Chase when he slept was that he had an air of childish innocence, from the fluffy blonde hair, the slightly blushed cheeks, to the slightly curled fist by his head as if he was about to suck on his thumb.
Completion – Something about the way Chase curled against him, kept him warm at night after keeping him company during the day brought out an odd sort of completion within House, one he hadn't ever gotten from Wilson.
Clouds – Chase has caught House leaning against the wall outside staring at the clouds more then once, and sometimes, House lets him stand there and stare too.
Sky – House has brilliant blue eyes, and Chase absolutely loves them, because when it comes to the pure colour of them, even the sky has nothing on his eyes.
Heaven – While neither of them really believed in Heaven, Chase supposed it would be a nice place to go, even just for vacation, because he doubted he'd end up there forever.
Hell – Whether he really meant it or not, hearing Chase tell him to go to hell was a blow House wasn't quite ready to take.
Sun – Shielding his eyes from the sun, Chase stared up at the hospital into what he knew to be House's office, and bitterly wondered if the other male was already in.
Moon – House shifted his weight ever so slightly so that Chase's weight wasn't completely on top of him while he slept, and his eyes trailed out the window, staring into the sky at the absence of the moon, for once regretting the whole thing with Wilson.
Waves – House loved Chase's waterbed, because it was just the right height to fall into, and the small waves it made always pissed off Chase as he tried to sleep.
Hair – House found it humorous that there was a poll amongst the nurses who had the better hair out of Wilson and Chase, and House had to say Chase because softness the faint scent of strawberries was just so much fun to nuzzle into.
Supernova – Of all the things Chase had ever found good and pleasurable, having sex with House was at the top, the mixture of pain, bliss and devotion was like an explosion, a supernova even, and neither of them could ever wait for the next time.
