A/N: Parts of this chapter are rewritten to fit Milson's more in-depth fling that I've added in the revision of this book.
Early next week, Wilson had subconsciously allowed himself to stew.
At first, he was too upset and insecure to bring up the idea of Madelyn and House to either one of them. But eventually, he wanted to test how long they'd each lie about it. While Wilson still couldn't be positive that there was anything serious between them, he knew something was off considering the recent changes in House's behavior.
For last several days and counting, House was noticeably more cooperative not just with his patients and team but with completing his clinic hours and logging them. Additionally, House didn't seem as grouchy, in fact, he seemed more lively as he wasn't avoiding conversation or human contact.
Wilson, in particular, was one of the firsts to call House out on the change,
"I don't think I've seen you smile since you got out of rehab."
House scoffed, "I've smiled plenty. What's not to smile about when I'm here!"
"Ah, yes. I forgot how enriching it is for you to be here. Working." Wilson replied playing into House's sarcasm.
House gave Wilson a ridiculously zestful thumbs-up and grabbed his cane. He was on his way to meet Cuddy at her office–of his own volition. They had a meeting and for once, Cuddy didn't have to drag House in by his ears.
Wilson took notice, knowing where House was heading. However, he had just one more thing to say to his friend:
"You know, I think I changed my mind. I think I do want something serious with Madelyn."
House stopped in his tracks beside his door,
"Better think it through."
"Oh yeah?" Wilson wondered, fascinated by where this would take the conversation.
"Definitely," House said nodding, "You might consider ending the idea of any future relationships. They all end in divorce."
Wilson was immune to comments like that, finding them juvenile and meaningless.
"Well she's not seeing anyone and I'm not seeing anyone. What could be the problem?"
House looks Wilson up and down with an exaggerated expression of judgement–his attempt at mocking Wilson's uptight fashion sense. Before responding, Wilson courteously opened the door for House, and stepped outside with him as if he were going to walk House to Cuddy's office.
"You joining?" House asked monotonically. Wilson shook his head, but House only saw the smug little grin on his lips. "So? Where are you heading?"
"Here and there."
"You're not serious?" House guffawed, finding the idea of Wilson asking Madelyn out amusing and un-admittedly nerve-wracking.
