Okay – firstly I am not medically minded; anything I say along these lines is most likely made up! Secondly, I actually did research for this ficlet – unfortunately this involved eating lots of sweets...oh the demands of fiction...
Wilson was sitting in the oncology lecture, barely able to believe what he was hearing – there was some new hormone treatment that had proven to slow down the spread of leukaemia in children. Wilson had just reached the peak of cloud nine when something landed in his lap.
He looked down. It was a pink love heart candy, inviting him to 'be mine'. Momentarily distracted, Wilson then pocketed it and returned his attention to the lecture.
Not a minute later another sweet fell into his lap. This time declaring 'cheeky boy'.
There was only one person Wilson knew who would disturb what was possibly the most important lecture in his whole life, just to irritate him with children's candy. He tried to ignore this thought as he attempted once again to concentrate on the lecture.
'Boyfriend' was to catch his attention next, landing on his shoulder and rolling down the front of his shirt. Wilson surreptitiously turned his head around to look at the seats behind him, but even under careful scrutiny he could not identify his leading suspect.
Wilson reluctantly turned back around, flinching at anything that momentarily passed through his peripheral vision.
After several minutes he eventually calmed down and settled his attention back on the talk. This was the moment when he was attacked by a 'wild thing' sweet.
Forgetting that he was sitting in the middle of a lecture hall, surrounded by other people, Wilson stood up in an outrage and yelled "House!" simultaneously flinging his hands in the air.
The room fell quiet.
"Is there a problem Dr. Wilson?"
Blushing to the nines, the oncologist turned to face the front.
"No, no sorry." He apologised, nodding at the various people, and once again resuming his seat.
At the back of the hall House grinned and popped a candy in his mouth – suitably declaring 'wicked'.
