Author's Note: Hope you all enjoy this! I don't own House! This is just a fanfiction.

It was his first headache after he found out that he had an inoperable brain tumor. No one else knew yet, not even his best friend Wilson. It was only a matter of time before his secret would be discovered and that was the last thing that House wanted.

House supposed Cuddy or Wilson or both of them would be the first to find out. He had been sending a lot of time talking with the brain cancer specialist. Confidentiality required his doctor not to speak to anyone else about it, but Wilson and Cuddy were not idiots (at least not all the time.)

He expected to be pitied or worried about. He despised other people's pity. He did not want people to feel sorry for him. He didn't need people to be sorry for him. Nor did he want other people's worry.

Wilson might not because he knew him so well, but he suspected Cameron's and maybe even Chase's puppy dog eyes. Then, imagine what would happen if the rest of the hospital found out? No, he rather not think about that. He knew that most likely people would probably start treating him different and he resented that idea.

His whole childhood he been taught that pity got you nowhere and he wasnt going to change his perception this late in his life. Some people liked feeling special, but it was the last thing House wanted. He didn't want to be special.

His head started aching more than his leg was. It was hard to concentrate. House sighed. Another thing the universe had to throw at him. His father would tell him that he deserved it. House wasn't so sure.

He was confronted the very next day awakening to Cameron trying to draw his blood and see if it was really cancer. House refused her, but he knew that it was a matter of time before they discovered his blood sample was still in the hospital under a pseudonym.

Then, when they discovered the truth, Chase hugged him. House couldn't help but cry and cry some more when he felt pathetic. This was not any bit usual for him. In fact, it was the opposite. House didnt like sharing his feelings. It was one thing he always found difficult for him. He didn't understand why he was crying.

"I can take over and be your doctor if you like." Wilson said trying his best not to show his concern.

House could see right through him and when Wilson realized, he lowered his eyes in shame. This was House he was thinking about. He should have known. Wilson could feel that his question and the look on his face made House uncomfortable.

"I don't think that will be a good idea." House replied softly.

Wilson knew that this wasn't a good time to push it. House needed space right now. Besides, House was probably going to be too stubborn to change his mind.

"Want me to leave you alone?"

House nodded with a hurt look in his eyes that terrified Wilson, but Wilson swallowed his emotions and said, "Okay."

And that was the end of that.

For now.
