This takes place years ago, it is Wilson and House's first ever meeting. To show how they start off, I'm going to elaborate more on how they have developed into becoming lovers sicne I am a HUGE House/Wilson shipper. If this isnt your cup of tea then simply do not drink it. "The chemicals Between Us" is my first House fic, reviewers are loved!

I do not own any of these charactors, otherwise I would have money...Alas the woes of a poor college student:(

The chemicals between us

It was late August, the sun was blazing above in the pale blue sky. It was early Friday afternoon, and McGill campus was bustling with students busy with their daily activities. While most went off to their classes, concerned with nothing more then the weekend ahead; James Wilson was anxiously packing his bag with various textbooks. Straightening himself he quickly looked over the cluttered dorm room making sure not to leave anything of importance. Before launching off into the stifling mid-day heat, he arrived in front of the meeting hall with twenty minutes to spare. In only twenty minutes he would be interviewed by none other then the greatly accomplished Dr. House. Such a great opportunity this was for James, Dr. House had handpicked several of McGill's top medical students to interview for a working fellowship in a prominent American hospital! Sitting in front of the meeting hall, James could hardly sit still, this could be his chance to really show everyone what he can do and to finally travel some! All these thoughts rushing through his head it was no surprise James didn't see the shabby dressed man suddenly sit beside him on the wooden bench.

"Howdy Partner" smiled the strange man extending his hand toward James, not wanting to appear rude he accepted the handshake respectively. "Sure got us some mighty nice weather here eh?" James felt slightly nervous speaking to a stranger mere minutes before his meeting with the great doctor, but James's soft side kicked in and he stayed. "Well yes, but I am ready for the winter, I can only take so much summer Sun." conceded James, noting this other man didn't look too much older then himself. Pity the guy was homeless by the looks of him, James wondered if campus security would escort him away. Then without warning the strange homeless man fell to the ground convulsing violently, James had no first hand medical experience outside the classroom, and briefly looked around desperate for help. After not seeing anyone, he quickly knelt beside the man and tried to remember exactly what his text books had said to do in this state. James checked all the vitals, reassured the seizing man was breathing properly; James called out for help though not leaving the sick mans side. Any change in his condition needed to be noted and him closely monitored. In less time then he expected medical workers arrived and wheeled away the strange man, James described the mans condition to the medical workers using every correct terminology he could recall to make it easier for the workers to know what had happened and James even suggested several different conditions that could be caused by a sudden seizure. "He could have epilepsy, diabetes, or a potassium deficiency" feeling frazzled and un-nerved James watched as the medical crew went off in the general direction of the parking lot. Collapsing back down into the wooden bench, James suddenly remembered his meeting with Dr. House was to start in two minutes. Collecting his books and cleaning himself off, James Wilson took a deep breath and opened the door to the meeting hall.

James sat down tensely worried about his meeting since the Doctors chair was facing the window away from James. Shifting uncomfortably he remained perfectly quiet, waiting on the doctor to face him. After a minute James cleared his throat, hoping to alert the Doctor of his presence. "Howdy Partner" came the response, just as James thought he just have heard wrong the chair spun around to face him. And that same poorly dressed man was looking back at him, apparently very humored by the look of utter and complete shock covering James's face. "Hoping to catch a worm, with that mouth?" asked House grinning at the student's surprise. "But, you were, but how can, but?" Gregory House only smiled at the baffled boy "Why really I hope you don't meet everyone this way Wilson, mind if I call you Wilson?" James could only nod stunned into silence, within a moment he was full of questions. "Why would you do that to me, have you done that to every other student too?" House leaned back in his chair, "You know how I first say Howdy Partner when meeting?" Wilson couldn't understand where this question was going, hell he couldn't understand where this interview was going! "Uh no" he answered feeling bewildered. "You're the only interviewee I've said Howdy partner to twice" Wilson still wasn't following, something about this madness was starting to make sense by punching new holes in his logic. As if this somehow explained everything, House stood to his feet across from Wilson, hand once again extended. "Welcome aboard Wilson, pack your bags your fellowship starts now and we have a plane to catch tonight." Once again James Wilson was left standing while watching House walk away, he had a feeling he was going to be seeing a lot of House walking away from now on.
