Fandom: House, MD
Pairing: Chase/Foreman
Theme set: Beta
Rating: PG-13 for sexual situations
#01 - Walking
His feet scrape along the slick tile floor of the lab, and you realize that you should’ve figured out about his father’s death a long time ago.
#02 - Waltz
“If you two keep dancing around each other like this,” House tells you, shooting an annoyed glance at the blond doctor in the other room, “You’ll not only drive yourselves crazy, you’ll annoy the hell out of me.”
#03 - Wishes
The first time you ask him if he regrets anything, his eyes bore into yours like red hot screws, his words are sharp: “If wishes were rainbows, Dr. Foreman, we’d all have gold.”
#04 - Wonder
His eyebrow raises at your question, but, really, it’s a reasonable one, and if the carpet really does match the drapes then House owes you fifty bucks.
#05 - Worry
“Honestly, Foreman, I’m fine---“ the door to the exam room slams behind him, and the memory of his red-tinged eyes haunt you the rest of the day.
#06 - Whimsy
The little girl’s fingers entwine Chase’s hair with a smile, like she was touching spun gold; really, you understand her enrapturement, and you’ve been longing to touch it, too.
#07 - Waste/Wasteland
The bile rises from your throat, and Chase gently rubs your back, murmuring something about the filth of the patient’s apartment being part of his illness---but really, all you can feel is ill.
#08 - Whiskey and rum
“You take another shot and you know I’ll try to take you home,” he says, and you wonder if that was a warning or a promise as the burning liquid slides down your throat.
#09 - War
“Some kind of eulogy,” he says at House’s funeral, and your fingers link with his, “A personal war that’s never ending, very fuckin’ poetic Wilson.”
#10 - Weddings
Chase is straightening Wilson’s tie, muttering something about four times being the charm, but your mind is on how Chase’s hair curls just above the bowtie on the tuxedo (oh, there’s got to be some sort of medical basis behind how he’s so fucking attractive.)
#11 - Birthday
The band of the watch, the best birthday gift this year, is smooth beneath your fingers, and before you can stop yourself, you thank him for the gift with your lips on his.
#12 - Blessing
“Chase prays before each surgery, I saw him with the rosary beads this morning,” Cameron’s voice is somewhere between awe and disgust, “He’s brilliant enough on his own, why does he think he needs some sort of God?”
#13 - Bias
No matter how many times you wake up next to him, the starkness of his pale skin against yours (or maybe it’s the darkness of yours against his) burns into your eyes and burns the image of your mother’s disapproving face behind your corneas.
#14 - Burning
Lecturing Chase on the dangers of fire, even as you’re bandaging up blistering red wounds, seems almost hypocritical; after all, you were the one who told him to take off his shirt, even though the burn is on his arm.
#15 - Breathing
Cancer works fast---one day he’s fighting with you, arguing, snapping, seducing, gasping, proposing, laughing---then all of it stops in a sharp breath; the same way of his father, you shouldn’t be that surprised.
#16 - Breaking
The “Why the hell did you call me” dies on your lips at the sight of his ramshackled house---everything broken, but his hands are clutched around a picture of a little blond boy and a woman, and he’s looking up at you like you can fix everything.
#17 - Belief
“I was in seminary,” he confides to you and Cameron over a few drinks, “That nun, she was full of bullshit; belief doesn’t save you, it just makes you bitter when nothing good happens.”
#18 - Balloon
The multicolored mylar screams at you from across the room, and, for reasons you can’t figure out, Chase seems to find House’s birthday balloons to you a hysterical treat from the ordinary.
#19 - Balcony
You sip at your coffee as you sit on House and Wilson’s balcony; raising an eyebrow you ask Chase if the two of you will ever become quite as pathetically in love as the two of them.
#20 - Bane
House all but slaps Chase on the back of the head as he leaves, and all the scowls in the world at House’s back can’t take away the nagging jealousy you feel whenever Chase’s eyes lay on the older doctor a minute or two too long.
#21 - Quiet
He’s far from a screamer---almost too silent as your lips trail down his body, thumbs press into his hipbones---and when you scream his name, it feels like sacrilege, breaking such beautiful quiet.
#22 - Quirks
You demand to know what exactly the pencil did to him, and Chase, the chewed-up wood dangling from his lips, looks at you in confusion, asking, “No, why do you ask?”
#23 - Question
“Do you love your father?” he asks you, and your spoonful of cereal stops its rise towards your mouth, to be replaced with an echoing question: “Why d’you ask, Chase?”
#24 - Quarrel
“Lovers spat?” House’s smirk is almost too much to take, and you scowl in reply, the red slap mark on your cheek really already answers his question well enough.
#25 - Quitting
All the ‘no’s in the world can’t stop you, and eventually the paper finds its way to House’s desk, Chase’s eyes slicing red cuts up and down your body so you know how much you’re hurting him, too.
#26 - Jump
“Foreman!” Chase’s voice is firm and strong; his eyes catch yours for a moment before turning back to the confused young man on the edge of the roof, “Dan, Dan you’re not on the field.”
#27 - Jester
“Now juggle,” House tossed over his shoulder at Chase, who held his coffee cup, House’s eraser, and a pencil precariously in his hands (you even wait a moment, you’re sure Chase might start, just to impress House).
#28 - Jousting
“Get a room already,” House cries out as he passes the lab, and the two of you stop mid-argument, Chase immediately demanding to know if you two really do fight that often.
#29 - Jewel
“Nah, I’m sure she’ll love it,” you hand the necklace-a birthday gift for Cameron-back to Chase, desperately pushing down the sharp pain of…something…that comes with the knowledge that he cares for her that much.
#30 - Just
You still can’t believe that Chase ratted to Vogler, but his shrug is enough to tell you what you already figured: he did what he thought was right.
#31 - Smirk
You’d kill for anything to wipe that smirk off Chase’s lips; a good solid punch, or a sudden, abrupt kiss…
#32 - Sorrow
“He’s not wearing weights on his wrists,” Cameron suddenly tells you as you both watch him walk across the cafeteria, “He’s bowing beneath his own sorrow.”
#33 - Stupidity
“Christ, Chase, are you really that stupid?!” House’s voice echoes, and for a moment, Chase looks truly broken, before he allows the mask of indifference to slide back on.
#34 - Serenade
Too much gin and tonic, and Chase is on one knee next to you, serenading along with the radio---funny, thing, though, he’s putting all of his effort into one crappy love song.
#35 - Sarcasm
“Why do you sleep with me?” you ask, and you feel him shift beneath your weight with the answer, “Because House wouldn’t fuck me.”
#36 - Sordid
“Do you really think no one knows?” House draws out every disgusted syllable, “Your job or your sex life, Foreman, you can’t have both.”
#37 - Soliloquy
“Why not go to his funeral?” Cameron asks, and Chase gives her a disgusted scowl, “I’ve got better things to do.”
#38 - Sojourn
You hand him his milkshake at the rest stop---a three-hour drive to the patient’s house is far from fun---and, for some reason, when your fingers brush, you get the distinct feeling he doesn’t want to pull away.
#39 - Share
Chase’s affection for House runs deep, and all the promises of love or whatever don’t take away the notion in your mind that you will always have to share him.
#40 - Solitary
Air streams from his nose against the cold, “You have no idea what this is like,” he says in an inhumanly ragged voice, “Parents, siblings, that’s you, and I’ve just got me.”
#41 - Nowhere
“Where’re you going?” you demand from your (not vulnerable, but certainly naked) position on his bed, yet somehow you know you’re not really going to get an answer.
#42 - Neutral
Cameron turns to Chase, “What do you think,” she asks, “Should we go to Cuddy about this?” Silly Cameron, doesn’t she know that Chase is always Switzerland when it comes to House?
#43 - Nuance
“You seem different,” you say, brushing a lock of hair from his eyes one night; “I’m in love,” he replies quickly, and, for a moment, you’re tempted to ask with whom.
#44 - Near
You always sit next to him, and you’ve perfected the lack-of-caring look on your face whenever he shifts closer to you, or brushes his arm against yours (because, really, House doesn’t need to see the thrill, it would just make him more miserable).
#45 - Natural
“I guess House owes me fifty bucks,” you grin, planting gentle kisses near his most-sensitive areas.
#46 - Horizon
“More out there?” you glance into the descending sun after mulling over Chase’s question, “No, Chase,” you reply, “We’re stuck with what we’ve got.
#47 - Valiant
“I’m no hero,” he mutters, flipping off the long-since flatlined heart monitor; when he calls the time of death without prompting, something you’d never be able to do, he’s stronger than he realizes.
#48 - Virtuous
You knock back another shot, “Can’t all be like Cameron,” you say, and your leg inadvertently brushes his thigh, and you don’t try to move it away.
#49 - Victory
“Gonna tell me how you figured out the carpet matched the drapes?” House asks, holding the money just out of your reach and smirking, “No? Then I guess we can’t really call you the victor now, can we?”
#50 - Defeat
His eyes are hollow, and as he rolls over, you feel like you’ve lost something (everything) important to you, and you have no idea how to get it back.
