sick_wilson | "From This Point On" Challenge

Hello again, everybody!

I'm obviously the kind of counselor who believes in keeping you all hard at work. After all, we don't want Wilson getting well on our watch, do we? (Unless, of course, it's as part of the "Cure Wilson" challenge!)

For this challenge, I thought I'd try something a little different. Below is a section of dialogue I've written that can fit into a sick!Wilson story. Your job is to write the story to go with it! There's just one condition: you have to include this dialogue, word for word, in your story. It doesn't matter whether it's at the beginning, the middle, or the end.

Here you go:

“No matter what you say, I don’t agree with you on this.” House was glaring at him, blue eyes intense, as if the power of his gaze alone would be enough to make Wilson change his mind.

“We’ve disagreed before,” Wilson said, mildly.

“And you’ve been wrong every time!” House said, frustration plain in his tone.

“Not every time, House.” He tried to hold himself steady against the renewed glare. It was difficult.

“This isn’t some minor thing, you idiot! This on a whole different level. This . . . this changes things.”

“Aha! Now the real motivation comes out. You’ve always hated change.” Wilson spoke lightly, but regretted the words as soon as he’d said them when he saw the flash of pain in the other man’s eyes.

“Screw it,” House said. “You won’t listen to me, you obviously won’t listen to your own common sense. Fine. From this point on, you can leave me out of it.” He turned and limped away.

Wilson sighed, watching him go. House didn’t mean it; he was upset and lashing out at the nearest available victim. Wilson rubbed at the back of his neck, looking down at the sheaf of papers he held in his other hand.

So what's going on? Why is House so upset? What's Wilson planning to do? And how can you use this bit of conversation to keep Wilson on the sick list?

Have fun figuring it out!
