Three weeks after returning to Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital Wilson was almost asleep when his eyes suddenly popped open. His mind had been repeating and attempting to translated something House had said at his dad's funeral that was distinctly Housian for something else but the time Wilson hadn't been able to figure out what he had meant. Now the real meaning behind House's special brand of double talk had dawned on Wilson and sleep didn't seem to be important until he had confirmation from House's own lips.
Sitting up Wilson grabbed his cell off the nightstand and hit House's number on speed dial.
House answered on the second ring, "Wilson do you have any clue what time it is?"
Wilson glanced at the clock worried he had called too late even for House and rolled his eyes when he saw the time. "Oh please, House, the night is still young for you yet. You weren't asleep and even if you were tomorrow's Saturday. Get over it!" Wilson breathed in preparing to ask his question. "When I confronted you at your dad's funeral you tried to get me to admit I was afraid I was going to lose you but what you really meant was you were afraid to lose me didn't you?" Wilson expected a scornful retort so what he got instead shocked him.
"If you repeat any of this conversation to anyone, Jimmy, I swear I'll cancel your office's Family Circle and Highlights subscriptions replace them with a Playboy subscription. Got it?" House paused and when he spoke again Wilson swore he was fighting to keep his emotions in check, "Yeah that's what I meant."
Wilson was silent a moment, touched deeply by the admission, "House, I-"
The emotions were gone from House's voice when he said, "Remember what I said about your phone number? That also applies if you don't let me get back to my beauty rest."
"All right goodnight then. Oh and House?"
"Yeah?"
"Thank you."
