My first song fic! The song is "I Want You" by The Kooks. I looked up the lyrics online and on their album cover and in the two places the lyrics were a bit different. So if anyone's confused for whatever reason I chose to use the lyrics on the album. Enjoy!
Disclaimer- I own nothing… Which is really sad because between the cast of House and The Kooks there are a lot of very pretty people.
It had arrived in the mail a few days before Chase had time to even see it. There had been a big case at the hospital where he'd barely even seen the outside world, let alone had time to check what had arrived in his mail.
Even when he did notice the package, he was wary of it. There was no return address after all. Wasn't he supposed to be wary of packages from strangers? He was pretty sure he'd heard that on the news once.
When he finally did decide to open it, it turned out to be a CD. Popping it into his boom box, he was surprised that there was only one track on it.
//Take me back to the place where I loved this girl for all time. //
It was an unfamiliar tune. The singer's voice was accented. British if he wasn't mistaken. A painful idea came to his mind to who might have sent him the song.
//Why must life just take away every good thing one at a time. //
He slid deeper into the comfy arm chair, pulling his knees up towards his chest. Why would House send him a single track CD? Why would House send him anything for that matter? He tried to dismiss the idea right away. It was a silly thing to think in the first place.
//I want it back, yes I want it back. I want you back, please give it me back. Because I want you. //
His breath caught in his throat and he sunk deeper into the chair. Not House, no. But who else could say that they wanted him back? He hadn't dated anyone else exclusively in a long time. He didn't want them to, but his eyes began to water.
//How can I not even cry for such a big thing in my life? The pain it takes the heart of me to turn around and say goodbye. //
He figured it probably took House forever to find this one song. The one that said it all. Chase had always hated him for not even showing any remorse for how it had ended between them. Maybe it was starting to not hurt so much anymore.
//How do you do it females? How did you do it angel//
He was smiling with trembling lips and tears fell without his consent. Embarrassed even though he was all alone, he quickly wiped them away.
As the song was starting to come to an end someone knocked on his door. He didn't move from his chair. After barely a few minuets of waiting the door knob began to jiggle. A familiar thud of a cane came from his doorway.
House was standing there solemnly, waiting to see if he would be taken back. Chase could only give him a lopsided smile in return.
//You always keep me on the run. //
