Admitting Need

Note: Written for barefootpuddles' Literary Drabble Challenge, a camp sick_wilson activity.
Prompt/Summary: You can tell how fragile a boy is by how ferociously he fights over autonomy (from "Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Lives of Boys")
Rating: general (I am so proud of myself). ETA Possibly PG for mention of drinking and driving (thank you barefootpuddles!)
Word Count: 100.

House opened his eyes: the hospital room looked as every day of the past week, except for the visitor.

“Good morning.”

“How did you find me?”

“I googled your name. The accident made it into the local news.”

”The sooner you finish your lecture about drinking and driving, the sooner you can go back to Princeton. I don’t need you here.”

That was a blatant lie: he would be discharged soon and couldn't afford a nurse. Nevertheless, Wilson nodded, and House finally noticed the deep lines pain and worry had etched on his face.

“I’m here because I need you.”

Thank you for the kind words (stares in amazement at fascinating new icon - where did you get that?)

I spend wayyy too much time online looking at strange images :). I believe I was just using the terms "medical" and "skull" to find this one. Grab away if you'd like!

I try not to grab away other people's icons, but this is really awesome..

Considering that I found it on the internet I figure it belongs to everyone anyway :).
