House had given up a long time ago. He missed the dirty blonde, almost brown hair and those warm, chocolate brown eyes, but he would never admit that to anyone. No one. All he could do was cry, when no one was around to come through the wall he'd have to let down.
****** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****
Wilson was still awake. He missed the pressure of the blue eyes doctor's body near his as he laid stock still on the mattress, instead of the light, curved body of his new girlfriend, who in no means was up to the standard that Gregory had set. He sighed as the phone on his night stand, but being the person he is, he answered it anyway, attempting not to wake the sleeping woman on his left.
"Hello?" He mumbled into the receiver of the phone, quietly, attempting not to wake the blond next to him.
Honey why you calling me so late?
"House?" He whispered, mentally cursing himself for not keeping his voice down, as next to him She began to awake.
It's kinda hard to talk right now.
He stood up slowly, muttering to Her that it was a work call, and that he needed to talk alone.
He moved into the next room over, leaving the light off, liking the cloaking feeling of darkness. He stood, back to the door, phone to his ear, as he listened.
"Greg, are you… crying?"
Honey
why are you crying? Is everything okay?
I gotta whisper 'cause I
can't be too loud
Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I
wish she was you
"Yeah, I cant be too loud… yeah, she's in the other room…" Wilson breathed into the phone. "You know, Greg, I wish she were you…"
I guess we never really moved on
There was a silence on the phone as House and Wilson spoke without words, each knowing that they were living a lie.
It's
really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
"Wilson…"
Coming
from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me
weak
Greg's
voice flowed soft and sweet, yet still rough at the same time, from
the phone receiver right into Wilson's ear and down straigt to his
heart, making his knees weak.
"I…." His voice drifted off, and Wilson knew he could hear Her in the other room, moving about.
"I should go." House whispered into the phone, words Wilson dreaded to hear.
And
I never wanna say goodbye
But you make it hard to be faithful
With
the lips of an angel
Wilson gulped, as She called him back to bed from the bedroom. He cringed as he heard Gregory sigh, a noise filled with so much pain and hurt that it was almost unbelievable that a single breath could hold so much.
He hung up the phone and went back to bed, where She fell asleep immediately, and Wilson lay awake for hours, until he slipped into a dream, where somewhere out there, he and House had made it through.
**** **** **** *** **** ***** ***** ***** ****
It's
funny that you're calling me tonight
And, yes, I've dreamt of you
too
House awoke to the phone ringing on his bedside table. Waking from a dream where somewhere, somewhere out there, he and Jimmy had made it through, he blinked rapidly and stretched, reaching towards the phone.
And
does She know you're talking to me
Will it start a fight?
"She,
She thinks this is a work call. It Shouldn't be a problem…."
Wilson breathed into the phone. Wilson. Wilson.
Wilson was on the other line, and for a moment, House could hardly breathe. This didn't happen, not to people like him, the person he had molded and concocted himself into. People didn't come back for him… only Jimmy could.
He heard Wilson mutter to Her on the other line, and House closed his eyes, laying his head against the cool of the ebony and ivory.
Well
my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
Hearing
Wilson say that he missed Greg, it was too much to bear, he reached
for a vicodin, not hoping to dull the pain in his leg, but the pain
in his heart. I
guess we never really moved on
No,
we didn't.
It's
really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so
sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it
makes me weak
He breathed in and out, calming his heart. Wilson always made his heart race. Always had, always will.
And
I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be
faithful
With the lips of an angel
"Please…" House heard his voice whimper, sounding vulnerable, a tone Wilson had never heard before.
"Wilson, Don't Go."
It's
really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Wilson…
Don't Go…
Coming
from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me
weak
And
I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be
faithful
With the lips of an angel
"Don't Go."
"I Won't."
