Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I do not own House and no profit is being made from this fanfic.
A/N: This story is AU in that House and Wilson have never met before Wilson began working at Princeton-Plainsboro. When I wrote this I had completely forgotten that the show had already described how they met, and so I didn't originally plan for this to be an AU. But luckily I looked it up on Wikipedia just to make sure and I realized I was wrong, so the only way this is AU is that they've never met before working together at the hospital.
When House Met Wilson
by breakdownohh
When House met Wilson, the first words out of House's mouth were insulting. Naturally.
"So is this your new boy toy, Cuddy?"
He said this as he was shaking Wilson's hand, not even sparing him a glance. Instead, House's head was turned over his shoulder, facing Cuddy.
Wilson never even had a chance. He was thrown off balance right from the start.
He continued shaking the man's hand, though his mouth was hanging open and his eyebrows were raised in confusion.
"Dr. House meet Dr. Wilson. He's our new head of Oncology," Cuddy said, exasperation flooding her tone. She ignored House's comment completely except for the rolling of her eyes. "Dr. Wilson's new office is just down the hall."
"Joy," House said sarcastically as he broke off the handshake and finally turned around to face his new colleague.
"I want you to try to show him around until he gets settled." Cuddy, of course, knew her plea was in vain, but she saw no harm in asking. She then turned to face Wilson as well, giving him a tightlipped smile, patting him on the shoulder and mouthing good luck before turning and walking away.
House, after staring intently at Cuddy's swiftly retreating backside, gave Wilson one last appraising look and then walked straight into his office, shutting the glass door behind him and leaving Wilson alone in an empty hallway with his mouth still hanging open and wondering to himself what the hell kind of job he had just accepted.
