Wilson didn't always wear the ugliest ties in the world. In fact, sometimes, he wore normal ties. That's when you knew things were bad. Wilson seemed to like his wives picking out his clothing. House never understood why, women always gave Wilson the ugliest ties. So, House always poked fun at Wilson's ties, the tacky colours and hideous patterns. Then, one day, Wilson walked in wearing a navy blue tie. It matched his navy blue suit.

"Is Mrs. Wilson out of town?" House had questioned, intending to tell Wilson he needed food.

"She's out of my life." Wilson had mumbled. "Ex-Mrs. Wilson to you." And he had walked into the office and shut the doors.

A few months later, Wilson was sitting at his desk when House barged in, he opened his mouth to speak and saw the green with orange-polka-dotted tie. "You slept with her." He told his friend. Wilson grinned, "I'm getting married."

This time, the ugly ties lasted longer, just over a year. Then, one morning, Wilson came in late, wearing a grey tie to match his suit. House raised his eyebrow; he remembered the last time Wilson's tie had matched. "Need you to buy lunch today." House told him.

"Leave me alone House." Wilson replied.

"Why? I need to eat." House replied.

"And I need to call a divorce lawyer." Wilson countered, turning his back on House. "Leave me alone… please."

So, it came to House as no surprise when he heard Wilson was getting married again. After all, the plaid tie was all he needed to see to know that. It was also no surprise when Wilson showed up on his doorstep, suitcase in hand, no tie at all. And while Wilson was living with House, House noticed, that his ties, always, matched his suits.
