DISCLAIMER- I don't own the characters of House, M.D.

CREATION- I DO HOWEVER OWN Thadias Morrison Blackout, Septis Setzer Blackout, and Mic. (TM)

House stares at the door for a moment reviewing the firey conversation. House heads down the hallway in search of the black haired mysterious doctor. He finds Septis talking to Wilson inside of his office. He hears mumbling inside as if Septis is pouring his guts out to his best friend. Wilson sees House approaching his door, he tries to warn Septis from the attack but it was too late.

"What in the hell are you doing!?" The angry House yells possibly as loud as he can.

"Since when can't I talk to Wilson? Did it suddenly become illegal for people besides you to talk to him!?"

House smashes his cane down onto the floor causing an un-pleasant sound. "House, I am trying to have a conversation with him. You can either get the hell out or listen to him bitching about you!" Wilson's face is red with furious anger and frustration.

"Alright fine, I'll take you up on your offer. Septis do your worst, but I know that my heart just can't take it!"

Septis wipes the tears away from his red swollen eyes and continues to mumble on about House. "Then he ….." Septis doesn't igknowledge the fact that House is in the room with them, he continues on like nothing has happened.

He wispers quietly so that House can't hear him. "Speak up I cannot make out a word that you are saying."

Septis speaks just barely enough for even himself to understand what he is saying. "Septis in order for me to help you, first I need to be able to understand you."

With emotions raging within young Septis, finally he speaks. "I don't think he likes me because I'm gay!"

Wilson's expression is priceless. He backs up a few inches just to be safe.

"So what you're telling me is that you're gay? Well yes I see the problem here. Septis I don't know how to break this to you but House is straight. My advice is to find someone around your age, not half of it. My second advice is to be more open about your emotions that goes for you too House."

By the time Wilson has even finished his sentence he had already walked out of the door. "I thought that would make him leave…now Septis you can tell me what's really going on."

House walks down the hallway and into the confrence room. Chase, Cameron, and Foreman are all busy at work working on a case in which the two of them should be working on as well.

"So what's in the folder today?"

Not one of them look up at him they continue to do what they were doing. "Hey Foreman has the police came to lock you up yet for theft?"

Foreman ignores him and continues to read the medical papers. The sound of a cane being smashed in half draws everyones attention. Pieces of wood go flying every which way damn near hitting Chase in the side of his blonde head.

"Does it really take my cane smashing in fucking half to make you idiots listen to me!?"

Chase flicks the little pieces of wood out of his hair letting them fall to the floor. "So what's in the folder today!?" Cameron gives him an angry glare as she as well sweeps little pieces of wood from her hair.

"It's nothing really much. Pretty easy stuff." House picks up the remains of his cane.

"If someone doesn't answer my question then I'm going to shove this cane up your asses."

Foreman hands the papers to his evil sadistic boss. "Here, they involve a woman with a weird heart condition. Like Cameron said easy stuff."

House throws the papers down onto the table. House limps up to the front doors of the hosptial. Cuddy is running up behind him trying to have a minute with the doctor. "House what in the hell do you think that your doing!? Get your ass back over there!"

House continues to walk without saying a word. "House answer me!"

His broken in half cane is still big enough to hold his weight. "Do you see the wooden wepon in my hand? Do you still want to ask questions?" She stops dead in her tracks looking at the broken cane.

House heads inside of his apartment and sits down onto his couch. "Damnit…how could this have went wrong? For the first time in my life I am actually sharing my emotions and that bastards off bitching to Wilson. He doesn't even realize how I really feel about him. Maybe Wilson can put some sense into him. If not I'll have to with this cane."

He throws the cane down onto the floor. He hops into his bedroom to fetch his other spare cane. Limping back his phone starts ringing. Normally he won't answer his phone but this time he figured that he would.

He looked at the number and picked up the phone. "What is it Wilson?"

House places his cane onto the floor for a second. "What? Seriously? If this is some sick trick to get me to come back then I'm going to kill you."

House hangs his phone up and heads back to the hospital. Chase has blood coming from his nose and a nasty gash in his forehead. Foreman is holding him up against a wall. Septis is held up against the other side of the wall by Wilson with bruises running down the side of his neck.

House enters the room. Cuddy is standing in the middle of it all with her shirt ripped open a bit. "So you finally decided to call me after the bitches stopped fighting?"

Chase is struggling as hard as he can to get free from Foreman's strong grip. "Hey Cuddy who let the dogs out?"

Cuddy pulls her shirt closer together trying to prevent House from looking. "Here's what happened…"

After about a few minutes of bitching back and forth House finally realizes the object of their fight. "You two were fighting over me!?"

House pauses a minute after looking at the two angry, struggling men. "I knew that Septis was after me but Chase? I didn't think that you swung that way, but I guess I should've realized it from your blonde hair."

Chase gives House an angry glare. Septis finally struggles free of Wilson. Instead of going after Chase he sits down to catch his breath. "Look House it's not what you think."

House looks over at Chase and then at Septis. "Ok then tell me what is really going on."

Septis looks over at Chase and begins to tell his side of the story. "So that's what really happened? Let's now hear from our new gay wombat Chase to see what he's hiding up his….sleeve."

Chase tells his side of the story including new details that wasn't even mentioned in the other story. "Both stories sound the same! Wilson I told you that I was going to kill you if this was a waste of my time. It looks like your time is up."

Wilson backs up when he sees the cane firmly in House's hand.
Foreman finally lets Chase go. "House, my I have a word with you alone?"

Everyone looks at Chase and House. He nods and gives everyone a warning glare for them all to leave. "Look I didn't tell you because I didn't know how you would react, plus I didn't want to ruin our bussiness relationship."

Chase says looking down at his feet. "Looks like to me that someone already beat you to it. Awww poor Chase it looks like he has to go crawling back to the gay lands of England."

Chase's nose is still red from being hit with a fist. His body aches all over from the frustrating fight he had just had. "You don't have to give me an "I'm straight" lecture, trust me I've already heard it. I know that I'm not going to win here, I just thought that you would like to see where I am coming from."

House sits down for a second trying to get some pressure off of his leg. "Your coming from behind I can already see that. Unless you have some big secret up front that no one knows about."

Hell even Chase had to laugh at that mean joke. "Look I don't know what your impling but I'm all man."

Everyone is peering into the conference room at the two of them talking. Just wondering what they are saying. "Ohh trust me Chase I already know that your all man. No woman can pull off that gay British blonde hair."

Chase stands up getting closet to the door. "So this is how it's going to be? We are only going to be co-workers? Alright I guess I can accpet that….for now…"

He leaves the room leaving House all to his lonesome self. Everyone else rushes back in to see and what went down. "House do you want to talk about it?"

Wilson asks getting closer to the crippled man. "You're not my damn therepist! I don't need your consent on the things that I do!"

Cuddy leaves the room seeing that this little dispute is over. "You two meet me in my office later."

Cameron puts her hand on Septis's shoulder. "Are you going to be ok?"

Foreman even walks closer to Septis. "Hey man don't worry everything will be alright."

Foreman places his hand on the other shoulder of Septis. Septis shrugs them off of his shoulders, he steps forward wrapping his trembling strong arms around House. Everyone is in complete shock as they that Septis has done the un-thinkable.

"I just wanted you to know how much you mean to me." Septis realses his boss and heads out of the door heading home.

"Wow…House….are you sure that you don't want to talk about it?"

Cameron and Foreman both watch as House heads out of the confrence room heading toward Septis. Just when Septis is all alone in the elevador heading home a cane slams in between the two metal doors. House steps on in not saying a word to him. After they droped a few floors House begins to speak.

"Septis you didn't even let me explain."

Septis pushes the one button a few times trying to end this nightmare. "The truth is……" House pauses almost stumbling over his words.

He tries to get all of his courage together by breathing a few times but it didn't really work. "Septis the truth is….that….I love you…."

He looks over at the the cripple lover just trying to figure out if this is real or not. "Are you serious? The last time that you said that you broke my heart and lied to me. I don't know if I can trust you again."

The giant sliding metal doors come open and a man is walking inside. "Do you mind?"

A cane shoves his back onto the floor; profanity is spewed from the mouth of the angry man as the doors close in front of him. "I know that I fucked up, but it was interesting to find out two people on my team got into a fight over me."

Septis smiles for once remembering his fist smahing into Chase's nose. "Don't forget about Cuddy's puppies escaping."

The two of them share a good laugh thinking about the angry Cuddy and her ripped open shirt. "I thought that you would find that funny. She tried to break us up but Chase fights like a bitch. So to even the score Cuddy goes in there and tries to sepreate the two of us. Her shirt accidentally gets ripped open by me."

House laughs even more remembering the sight of her shirt and her 'puppies' almost falling out. "Look I know that you are sorry and are incapable of saying it yourself, so yes I accept your apology." The two of them finally reach the bottom of the floor. They head out going to Septis's home.
