A/N: My first time writing for this fandom! I'm relatively new to this show, but I immediately fell in love with the chemistry between House and Wilson. I apologize if this seems a little out of character, but I like to write dramatic stories with romance thrown in. There will be smut later on. Rated T for now.
Pairings: House/Wilson, Cuddy/Lucas
Please review! :D
Gregory House felt a few tears start to run down his cheeks. His day had just gone from absolutely great to terrible. The love of his life, his husband, completely hated him now. But it was all just a misunderstanding.
"Jimmy, no, please don't do this," House begged him. But Wilson didn't want to hear an explanation. He walked up to House and slapped him across the face. The stinging pain soon followed. "It's not what you think it looks like."
Wilson just laughed. "You are really going to say that to me? What I came home and saw was everything I needed to know. I don't need an explanation of your infidelity."
"But I wasn't cheating on you. I would never do that to you."
"I really don't want to hear it. I didn't think you were the kind of man who would cheat. However, I didn't think you would go after one of our co-workers."
Wilson lifted his head and saw Cuddy standing in the living room wearing nothing but one of House's shirts. What Wilson didn't know was that Cuddy actually had a pair of shorts on underneath the shirt.
Wilson sighed, turned towards his husband and said, "STEP ASIDE AND DON'T TRY AND GET IN MY WAY."
"Jimmy..." House began.
"You don't deserve to call me that. Leave me alone, Gregory House."
House put a hand on his husband's arm to try and stop him from leaving, but Wilson just shrugged him off.
"Don't touch me," he snapped, his eyes blazing with anger.
Even though House rarely cried, this was a moment where he was having a hard time keeping his tears from falling. He couldn't stop himself from crying. He couldn't believe that in the span of 10 minutes, his life had been changed forever. Last night had been so perfect, as well as that morning.
FLASHBACK
The happy couple had arrived home after a long day at the hospital. House had become annoyed by several patients and was feeling stressed out. As soon as he and Wilson had entered their apartment, Wilson had pinned his husband against the front door, tearing off their clothes. Wilson was begging House to make love to him and they had a night of passion. They were having trouble keeping their hands to themselves in the morning when they had to get up and go about their day. Once evening came around, House and Wilson were in the parking lot walking to their car, when they saw Cuddy arguing with her partner of a year, Lucas.
"I can't believe you just said something like that to me, Lucas," Cuddy snapped.
"I can say whatever I want, Lisa," he snapped back at her. The couple were still arguing when they went their separate ways for the night.
That night, House and Wilson were planning on enjoying a relaxing evening at home.
"I'm going to go to the store and get us a bottle of wine for dinner," Wilson said. "Do you want a specific kind?"
"No," House replied. "I can get the wine."
"It's okay, love. I'll be back soon."
"I miss you already."
"That's impossible. I haven't left yet," Wilson teased him. The oncologist kissed him goodbye, then grabbed his keys and left the apartment.
House was working on cooking dinner for him and Wilson when a knock at the door was heard about five minutes later.
"House, it's me," a female voice said from outside.
He opened the door and saw Cuddy standing on the front porch. He stepped aside so that she could enter the apartment. Her face was slightly red and he could tell she had been crying.
House wrapped his arms around her in a hug to help her calm down.
"Do you want a drink?" he asked.
"Sure, but is Wilson around? I would like to talk to him," Cuddy replied.
"He just left a few minutes ago to grab a bottle of wine for dinner, but he'll be back very soon."
House headed into the kitchen to pour Cuddy some wine. After filling the cup, he grabbed it and walked into the living room with his cane in one hand - glass in the other - but he didn't watch where he was going and he bumped into her.
"Oh no!" House exclaimed, the wine spilling all over her dress. "I'm so sorry."
Cuddy turned around and took off her dress, only having a bra and underwear on. Greg took the dress into the kitchen sink and let the water fall onto the stain. He tried to remove the stain, but it wasn't coming out.
"How about you go get changed?" he continued.
Cuddy walked down the hall and came back a couple minutes later wearing one of House's long shirts and a pair of shorts. The shirt was long enough on her that the shorts were covered up. House was frustrated that he had ruined his coworker's clothing, so he put the dress on a hanger and put it inside the coat closet to dry.
He went into the fridge and grabbed an opened bottle of whiskey from the fridge. House handed the bottle to Cuddy and sat down on the couch. She told him what had happened between her and Lucas, and how she feared that her relationship was over. She started to cry again.
"It will be okay," House replied. He pulled the brunette into a consoling hug as her tears fell onto his shirt.
Wilson entered the apartment ten minutes later and walked inside.
"I'm sorry that it took so long to get back, the cashier was an idiot and I-" Wilson began, but then saw the sight of Cuddy sitting on the couch, wearing nothing but a long shirt and wrapped in House's arms.
PRESENT DAY
House snapped out of his flashback and heard Cuddy speak to him.
"I have to go get him," he said. "Wilson is the love of my life and now he just walked out the door."
"This is all my fault," the brunette replied. "I shouldn't have come by."
"You can stay here for as much time as you need, but I need to go find my husband."
House turned off the stove burner and then hurried out to his car.
20 minutes away, Lucas Douglas heard a knock on the door to his apartment. He opened it and found Wilson standing outside.
"Come in," Lucas said, allowing the oncologist to enter. When the door closed, Wilson pushed him against it and kissed him. Lucas immediately pushed him away, very confused. "What the...what was that for?"
"I believe it's fair that I can make love with you since that's exactly what your girlfriend is doing with my husband right now," Wilson replied.
"LISA IS WHAT?! No, she would never. We love each other."
"I headed to the store to get wine for dinner and when I came back, Cuddy was wrapped in House's arms, wearing nothing but one of his shirts."
"Lisa loves me," Lucas said.
"Well, I don't think her clothes just came off by themselves."
"Did either one of them try to explain the situation to you?"
"House did, but she just stood silently in the main room."
"I can't believe that Lisa would be cheating on me with House. I'm sorry, I hope that didn't offend you."
"No offense taken."
Wilson then kissed him again.
"No, Wilson, this can't happen…" Lucas began.
"It can. I want you to make love to me. If they can do that, then we can."
"Are you sure about this? Because if we go through with this, this can never be undone."
"I don't care if it's only a few minutes. I want to feel loved again. I thought House loved me, but he decided to throw it away, just like our marriage, and our friendship."
Lucas kissed him. They managed to make it all the way from the front door to the kitchen table. Wilson kissed him back.
Then the phone started ringing.
