Title: Night
Pairing: House/Wilson
Rating: PG
At night, when all the rest of the world is asleep (or rather, the part where it is also night), he is at his best. The distractions of the day, the people, the noises, the light, were all gone. He can think in semi-silence, if not in peace.
Sometimes he lies awake all night long, thoughts of nothing and everything running monologues through his head that may or may not be important to the world at large.
When he sleeps, the thinking is only heightened, apparently, as he has often awoken with that one answer, the right diagnosis, completely thought out by his slumbering mind and ready for delivery in the morning.
At night, when that warm body of his best friend is resting against him, lost to the world, filling his thoughts, he really is at his best.
