Chapter 25
"Right, start telling me what's so special about this damn dog and why I have to have him" House slammed the door behind him.
He wouldn't admit it but he was stung from seeing Bonnie kiss Wilson. She may be legally married to the man but House was the person Wilson wanted to spend his time with. House's brain was trying to tell him that he didn't care which of them Wilson preferred but his heart was tutting away loudly and listing all the reasons he cared about Wilson.
"You heard Bonnie, our flat's not letting us keep pets anymore" Wilson flopped onto the sofa
"Yeah, yeah, but why do I have to have it" House sat down beside him
"Firstly he's a he and as a doctor I have checked. The reason you have to have him is because I know it'll drive you crazy and I want to be able to be around Hector when I come home"
Wilson's ears burned as he realised what he had just said. He considered House's place a home. His home. Which it was in a way. He spent all his time here, his stuff was all here and he felt happiest here.
House pretended to ignore Wilson's slip of the tongue
"You still haven't told me what's so special about the dog" he grumbled popping down 3 vicodin
"My parents got him from a shelter for me and Bonnie as wedding present" Wilson rolled his eyes
"In case it's escaped your attention, I'm not interested in your connection with Bonnie" House answered disgruntledly
"Fair enough but Hector is the best thing about our marriage. If Bonnie ever gives me a divorce then the only thing we'll be a fight over is who has Hector" Wilson sighed
"Fine. I'll take the dog but I won't be responsible for any liability"
