Dearest Readers,

Alas, this is the last chapter. I do hope that you'll continue on to read the sequel, "You." I'll also be starting the process of editing that story as well. Do note that I've hit a massive writer's block on steroids for "You", so I figured the least I can do is edit it…also because I don't like some parts of it.

Read on, Cherubs.

Over and out.

Chapter 10

They were in the parking garage, everyone said goodnight and went their separate ways while House and Chase continued to walk to where they parked. They were in comfortable silence and Chase grabbed House's hand, now that they were alone, and they came to a stop when they reached Chase's car. Chase looked at his car, he didn't want to leave House; he looked up at the older man and smiled slightly, the last few weeks have seemed too good to be true but also overwhelming. House leaned his cane against the car and wrapped his arms around Chase, pulling him closer.

"You did well tonight, Robbie." He whispered in his ear, sending shivers down Chase's spine. He kissed Chase's temple and looked him in the eyes, finding them to be shining in the parking garage light. Chase wrapped his arms around House's neck and brought them even closer.

"I…I don't want to be by myself tonight." He said, looking up at House to find a gentle smile on his features, but he also felt a blush creep to his face. House laid a light kiss on the tip of his nose and pulled away.

"I'll meet you at your place." He said and Chase smiled and nodded, feeling like a teenage girl with a crush.

HouseXChase

House arrived just as Chase was unlocking his door. Chase turned and smiled at him as he let them both in and turned on the lights. House closed the door and stared as Chase putted around in the kitchen, grabbing glasses, filling them with ice cubes and water. The light from the kitchen lights reflected on Chase's blonde locks and made his skin look even more flawless.

He never really took the time to look at Chase's apartment. The first thing he noticed was a black piano sitting to his left, sheets of music in organized piles on the floor. He then noticed that the apartment was very clean and organized, nothing was out of place.

"I'm a little bit of a neat-freak." Chase said as he handed him a glass of water. House took it and they walked towards the couch and sat in comfortable silence.

"I didn't know you played piano." House said after a while; Chase nodded with a smile.

"Yeah, I've been played since I was about 10 years old. It was my way of getting thoughts of my dad out of my head."

"Did he buy you the piano?" Chase chuckled lightly.

"Oh no. He never bought me anything. I got that particular piano when I came to America. The piano I learned on was my neighbor's…I liked her." Chase sat his glass down and walked over to the piano. House, in turn, placed his glass down and stood next to Chase as he looked down at the piles of music on the floor. "I can never decide who my favorite is." Chase laughed as he looked up at House.

House smiled and turned Chase towards him and wrapped his arms around his waist possessively. Chase brought up his arms and wrapped them around House's neck, bringing their faces closer. Their breaths lingered between them, both intoxicating. House closed the gap between them and deepened the kiss as soon as Chase's lips parted. House won dominance immediately and ran his hands underneath Chase's shirt, wanting to feel more. Chase brushed his hands over House's shoulders and down his chest, taking in the muscles that lay underneath the clothes.

Damn clothes.

He pulled House as close as possible, wanting everything the older man had to offer. They broke apart, panting. They stared at each other's eyes, while still clinging to each other.

"Stay?" Chase asked, not really able to ask the full question. House smiled lightly again.

"I'm never leaving even if you want me to. I'm a stubborn man and you'll have to kill me to get rid of me."
