A/N: this is a rather short chapter, but I wanted to put it seperately. The next one will be much longer...

The next morning when Wilson drove to work, he set his Ipod on random, to listen to some music.
The first song started and after a couple seconds Wilson realized, it was the same one he'd found House listen to, yesterday. The memories brought a smile on his face and he let the song wash over him. When it was finished, he reached over and pressed repeat.
Listening to the lyrics it struck him how much the song fit House. He pondered that thought for a while. Yes, it did fit and on several levels too... He wondered if that was why House had listened to it, even though it wasn't his kind of music.
Wilson knew that House wished he hadn't had the infaction, or at least that they'd diagnosed it earlier, before the damage had become irreparable. He knew that House felt chained down by his disability. Hell, who in that situation wouldn't feel that way?
But Wilson also knew, that House was chained down too, by his inability to trust people and to accept help from them. He just wasn't sure if House realized it too. Sure, people, and especially Wilson, had told House over and over again, but he'd never really admitted he was aware of it. Much less that it might be a problem. Wilson wondered if House secretly wished he could change.
Maybe inviting him over and swaping stupid stories, was House's attempt to reach out and bond with someone. Well, it wasn't a very bright idea doing it with Wilson, who already was his friend, but Wilson remembered his own advice „Start small.". House hated doing something, when he wasn't sure of the outcome. Knowing House, he'd probably run a few tests on people already close to him, just to make sure things couldn't go too wrong. That was, of course, only if he actually tried to change his relationships with people. With House you could never be sure of his intentions. Wilson shrugged to himself. For know he'd hope that he was right and watch House's further actions, like he always did.
