Holy shit. I'm so very sorry for taking so long to post. I dunno if any of you have bothered checking the little update I leave on my profile page now, but I got so very caught up in real life and stuff that I haven't felt like writing or doing much of anything else. In an attempt to fix this, I forced this chapter out. I'm so sorry that after about a month it's so short!!! DX

NOTE: This is a bit of a spoiler for Season 6, if you don't know what's happened with House.

Chapter 37: With a Sprinkle of Gayness

Wilson walked through the door late one night, having had piles of paperwork to catch up on. A succulent smell was wafting in the air.

House was making dinner, as was the new 'usual' in their home. He still didn't have his medical license back and cooking had offered him an outlet of sorts, so of course Wilson didn't really mind. It was a nice little change.

A lot of things had changed about House. Sure he was still the narcissistic, loveable bastard that he always was, but... he'd lost some of his edge. The bright light that made him the ruthless, medical genius that he was had dimmed a bit. He no longer obsessed about the diseases anymore, which was good.

But at the same time, it felt so very wrong.

"I'm home." he called out as he removed his tan coat and shoes.

"... Don't expect me to come running with your slippers and a kiss while proclaiming 'Welcome home, honey!'. I'll do other gay stuff for you, but that's just a bit too flaming for my taste." House stated from his spot at the stove, not looking up from his latest creation.

This made the younger man chuckle, partially in relief. He still thanked every God in existance that House hadn't lost his own personal brand of humor. "That's alright. Doing chores is enough, thanks."

Wilson walked into the kitchen, right up to House. After a few moments, House finally turned to him and pressed a kiss to his lips before returning to the steaming pot.

Smiling, Wilson turned to go change into more comfortable clothes.

Just as he walked past the doorway, House sighed. "Hey."

Wilson turned around, looking at him, "Yeah?"

Still stirring the ingredients on the stove, House spoke quietly. "... Welcome home, James."

"Thanks, Greg."

I know, I know. What the fuck was I on when I wrote this? It's just so... gay. So very gay. ... And yes, it would seem that in this chapter, I've changed from HouseWilson to WilsonHouse. It's mostly because in the recent episodes, House has been the one doing the chores and acting like, well, the wife. Kinda. ... Wilson's still his nagging self. :P

Not to worry. HouseWilson will prevail!
