Loved this! Loved adorably drunk Wilson, the loneliness club headed by Morrissey and House's thoughts and feelings of the situation. :-)

Oh love it - as usual you have sparkling dialogue and House inner monologue. Love House's confusion over just what he wants to do to/with Wilson :) And drunk!Wilson is always adorable :) The discussion about the 'lonely people' club was great :)

Favourite lines

Wilson gave him the “I’m warning you” look. Really, House thought it was cute he still tried that.

“Why didn’t you go hang out with all those great people I supposedly keep you from? That would’ve been the perfect time, don’t you think?” - Oh, ouch!

“Broccoli’s good for you,” Wilson insisted, then winced as he placed the bag over his eye again. “Sucks as first aid, though,” he grumbled. “Too spear-y.”

“It’s a really socially awkward club,” House clarified. “We just stand there staring at each other.”

There were people who decorated trees, or lit menorahs, or stuffed their faces with turkey and eggnog. And then there were people who snuggled with their drunk best friend and watched Christmas porn. - yeah, this doesn't mean anything House, of course if doesn't :)

The image of a drunk Wilson trying to balance frozen broccoli spears on the one hand and House's (caring) snark on the other is just wonderful :D You've got so many great lines, it'd be impossible for me to quote them all in one comment <33

Drunk Wilson and Caring/snarky House are a favorite combo of mine :)

You're HW stories are such a treat. I can't help but smile as I read House's thoughts and his conversations with Wilson. Adored coat-check guy.

So many great lines but I this one was awesomely awesome:
House shifted uncomfortably. This conversation was approaching heart-to-heart territory, and House had heard of that place. It was filled with Oprah-recommended books and knitting circles, and Deepak Chopra was the town doctor.

Aww - Thanks for your awesomely awesome comments :D
