Surprisingly, it didn&apos;t feel like Yukari ever had, either. But it was nice and it felt right. It was hidden from anyone who might care about it, and it was safe. It felt nice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 16px; font-family: Literata; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: normal; margin: 16px 0px; --page-paragraph-spacing: 1;&quot;&gt;Akira pulled back, letting her hand slide down to Yukari&apos;s neck. It was hard to get her to blush the way she was right now, and it was beautiful. The shade of pink lit up her cheeks and her eyes darted away, her pale skin turned rosy and her eyes and hair complimented it perfectly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 16px; font-family: Literata; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: normal; margin: 16px 0px; --page-paragraph-spacing: 1;&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Ah, you&apos;re beautiful, Yukari.&amp;quot; Akira finally took her hands off her new&amp;hellip; girlfriend? It wasn&apos;t even in her mouth yet and it felt weird to say.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 16px; font-family: Literata; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: normal; margin: 16px 0px; --page-paragraph-spacing: 1;&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;As are you.&amp;quot; She&apos;d never heard it before, she&apos;d always been called handsome or cool. But she liked beautiful, at least when it came from Yukari.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 16px; font-family: Literata; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: normal; margin: 16px 0px; --page-paragraph-spacing: 1;&quot;&gt;She&apos;d like anything that came from Yukari.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=deantestines&amp;ditemid=2632&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

Normally there is, but not this bad. It was just as uncomfortable as the lumpy bed itself. Alexander stretched, though it looked more like some kind of flail. The nightstand lamp was off, as were all the lights. Al wasn&apos;t incredibly dressed but he wasn&apos;t indecent, and it was too late to be in bed but he had a migraine for half the day so he laid in bed anyway.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: normal; margin: 16px 0px; --page-paragraph-spacing: 1;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;The vent rattled and the gray cold of the metal seeped into the walls, or what you could see of them.

No one was there. Sam and Dean were out, out without him. Danny walked closer to him and he felt something in his stomach welling up: be it nausea, be it despair, be it sorrow. Be it fear. Be it nothing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: normal; margin: 16px 0px; --page-paragraph-spacing: 1;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;I know, Danny, I..&amp;quot; He almost fell off the edge if the bed, his feet were unstable so he landed on his knees.

He never got taller. Never grew facial hair, he&apos;d never get a girlfriend. He&apos;d never grow up.  Immortalized in this small form, but still a person. A person Al would never really get to know. He just wanted to touch his little face once, once, even if it wasn&apos;t him. But wasn&apos;t it him? His bones were burned, so it must be&amp;hellip;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: normal; margin: 16px 0px; --page-paragraph-spacing: 1;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Al had learned it&apos;s not really all that hard to come back from the dead.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: normal; margin: 16px 0px; --page-paragraph-spacing: 1;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Al?&amp;quot; He looked towards the source of the gravelly voice, but then put his eyes right back on Danny. &amp;quot;Can I turn these lights on?&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: normal; margin: 16px 0px; --page-paragraph-spacing: 1;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Please.&amp;quot; The lights hurt when they turned on.

  <title>A Kiss from Death</title>
  <link>https://deantestines.dreamwidth.org/1398.html</link>
  <description>Title: A Kiss from Death&lt;br /&gt;Fandom: Supernatural, House M.D.&lt;br /&gt;Ship: Billie/Lisa Cuddy&lt;br /&gt;Rating: Teen and +&lt;br /&gt;Warnings: None!&lt;br /&gt;Word Count: 625&lt;br /&gt;What&apos;s in here?: Domestic fluff, rainy day, lesbian cuddy&lt;br /&gt;Summary: A cozy day in as the rain pours on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pitter patter on the roof sunk into the setting of the day. Despite the windows being closed and the weather being unable to flow into the house, you could still feel the chill. But no matter how much the colour gray tormented the outside sky, nothing could make it sink into the walls of Cuddy&apos;s home. Inside it was warm. It was lit dimly, the orange tone seeping into the drywall, wrapping itself around the wooden floors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There were two more things contributing to the warmth of the day, two more things blocking out the chill, things unlike insulation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One, there was a warm cup of tea in her hand. She sipped it and it wasn&apos;t quite sweet enough but the second source of warmth kept her from saying anything about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That second source of warmth was a warm body draped over top of her. One whose fingers were twisting through her hair. The one that brewed the tea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;How was work today?&quot; Billie said it so softly it sounded absent-minded, but it wasn&apos;t.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Work.&quot; Cuddy responded and took another sip of tea. &quot;You?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Work.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cuddy could feel the smile on her face before she even registered the emotion that brought it on. She was always smiling around Billie. Billie brought the smile back to her life, the smile she had almost lost. Funny how death herself can give you back your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cuddy put the tea down and placed her hand on Billie&apos;s face. The rain only got louder. There was thunder, as if the earth was reacting to their love. Maybe reapers can do that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wordlessly, they touched foreheads, then lips. Kisses before each other had just felt like wet, weird skin. You were just supposed to pretend to enjoy it, because that&apos;s what everyone did. But a kiss from death shifted that perspective into the perspective of someone who needs to kiss her for so long that the taste of her is permanent on their tongue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I love you, Lisa.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I love you, too.&quot; Cuddy smiled. &quot;I love you a lot. Before.. With men, it was.. well, fine. There were some hiccups. But it never got better than fine.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;And with me?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;You&apos;re a lot better than fine. It took me until you to realize what love is.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;What is it?&quot; Billie&apos;s eyes were reminiscent of the night sky. Cuddy loved the stars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Love is…&quot; Cuddy looked around the room and saw plants that Billie had bought for the house, little touches from her that never would&apos;ve been there without her, that were so common they were just a part of life. She thinks of clothes Billie told her to buy, food she never would&apos;ve tried if it wasn&apos;t cooked for her. She thinks of all the men she might&apos;ve settled for just fine with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Love is just your presence in my life. Love is how you&apos;ve affected me and how I feel about it.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Billie&apos;s curls bounced as she moved, closer to Cuddy&apos;s face, just closer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Love is the puddles left on the sidewalk after a rainy day, then? The one&apos;s that kids love to jump in.&quot; Billie said and planted a kiss on Cuddy&apos;s forehead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I think you got your lipstick on me.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I think I did.&quot; She tries to wipe it off with her thumb, but her expression doesn&apos;t indicate good things about the results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cuddy laughs, pushing the hand away to no avail. &quot;Quit, that, you&apos;re making it worse.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Billie&apos;s face formed concentration as she continues to smudge lipstick across Cuddy&apos;s forehead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Oh, I think you might be right. What a shame, Lisa, it seems that we have no choice but the shower. Together.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Billie holds her hand out for Cuddy to take.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She doesn&apos;t even hesitate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=deantestines&amp;ditemid=1398&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <description>im sick of being so in love with someone who isnt in this universe with me. i miss him every day and ive never even met him he&apos;s all i want and yet all i can never have. his voice is so beautiful and ill never hear it unprocessed in my ears again. Ill never have him. i feel insane. i want to love normal people like a normal person but i just miss him so much and it sucks so bad because like he obviously doesnt exist (at least here) and i dont think i can write enough love letters and stories or draw enough doodles to fill the ache because the ache is unfillable. every vague you in every vague love song is replaced with my beautiful, nonexistant carlos and i can just never have him. how on earth is that fair? how is any of this fair?? ive just been ripped away from him and told im insane for loving. UGH!! i miss him&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=deantestines&amp;ditemid=1089&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <description>&lt;b&gt;Title:&lt;/b&gt; Warmth&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fandom:&lt;/b&gt; Supernatural, House M.D.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rating:&lt;/b&gt; Gen&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ship:&lt;/b&gt; Dean Winchester/Gregory House&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Warnings:&lt;/b&gt; None!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Word Count:&lt;/b&gt; 412&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What&apos;s in here?:&lt;/b&gt; Domestic fluff, hand holding&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary:&lt;/b&gt; A lazy day in bed with the fan on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was cold and the noise the fan made was strident, but no one could shiver because of all the body heat. The fan bothered both of them, but it was too hot to have it off so they bought some earplugs and nothing bothered them anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The thing that bothered him the least was the very warm body on top of him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Upon first meeting him, people normally assumed House would be touch averse. They think that he&apos;s so rude, so unnecessarily that he just can&apos;t enjoy touch. No one that good at driving people away wants to hold someone, no one that good at pushing others away wants to be held.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But covers on books are only there to market and to tell you what the author wants you to think about the book. And the only word Dean could think of to accurately describe House&apos;s behavior would be &quot;cuddlebug&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It felt like his arms were adhered to him, inseperable from Dean&apos;s body. It was as if House believed his sole purpose in life was to touch Dean, to hold him. House had his hand on Dean&apos;s shoulder and it was like Deans flesh had grown around it and the hand was sunken in, permanently on him. But then House moved it and it didn&apos;t feel like that anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;It&apos;s almost like an aftertaste.&quot; House mumbled into Dean&apos;s chest. &quot;But the cancer is still there, so it&apos;s not an aftertaste... It&apos;s like a middletaste. But one that you didn&apos;t expect, so its not the main flavour.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;House laced his fingers together with Dean&apos;s between both of their faces. Dean watched and didn&apos;t let his view be torn away when House began to speak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Being with you makes me bad at metaphors.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Wasn&apos;t that bad.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;House scoffed. Dean tightened his grip on the hand that gripped his.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I think your judgement is clouded.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I love you, that doesn&apos;t make me stupid.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;You&apos;re right, it makes me stupid.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Greg...&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A shiver finally reached one of them when House kissed Dean&apos;s chest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;It&apos;s worth it.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;You&apos;re not stupid, Greg.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I know.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dean focused on the feeling of House&apos;s hand against his. It was bony, a little. But soft. It made Dean&apos;s arm feel warmer than the rest of his body, which was quite the feat considering he was using a human as a blanket. Those tend to be very warm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fan was still loud. They didn&apos;t want to go to sleep anyways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=deantestines&amp;ditemid=924&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Stuck on the Road, Far Away from You</title>

  <description>&lt;b&gt;Title: &lt;/b&gt;Stuck on the Road, Far Away from You&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fandom: &lt;/b&gt;Supernatural, House M.D.&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rating:&lt;/b&gt; Teen+Up&lt;b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Ship: &lt;/b&gt;Dean Winchester/ Gregory House &lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Warnings: &lt;/b&gt;medical emergencies&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Word Count:&lt;/strong&gt; 3,444&lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;What&apos;s in here?: &lt;/strong&gt;Fluff, angst, bittersweet endings &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Summary:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Dean Winchester cannot stop running into Dr. Gregory House. It leaves Dean curious and House curious-er.&lt;br /&gt; OR &lt;br /&gt; Five times they don&apos;t kiss and the one time they do.&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p&gt;Down in the dingiest depths of a drab little bar, Dean finds himself  looking for some company. The bartender doesn&amp;rsquo;t seem to be the chatty  type, at least not to the new guy who&amp;rsquo;ll leave by sundown tomorrow, and  the women seem lovely, but boring. The town seems nice enough to a guy  that isn&amp;rsquo;t excited by &amp;ldquo;new&amp;rdquo; anymore, but just about every town seems  nice enough if you&amp;rsquo;re only visiting. Across the bar, a few chairs down  he spots a man, about twenty years older than he is but just as sad. If  he were to think about that longer, how he harbors the sadness of a man  old enough to be his father, it might just be enough to make him slam  down another drink.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, instead, he sips his drink slowly  until it&amp;rsquo;s gone and scoots over a couple seats until he&amp;rsquo;s a reasonable  but curious distance away from the other man. Said man looks up from his  drink as if Dean pissed in his shoes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Who the hell are you?&amp;rdquo; He antagonizes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;You first.&amp;rdquo; Dean pretends like he holds something over the conversation, like he&amp;rsquo;s somehow &amp;ldquo;winning&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  man huffs into a smile and looks back down at his scotch, as if the  swirl of the drink could make this annoyance go away, or as if it might  give him an answer to the question of who he is.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;What are you drinking?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dean  answers, figuring at this point neither of them would ever find out who  the other one is, just as he likes his late night bar talks.&lt;br /&gt;The  other man looks at Dean as if he&amp;rsquo;d kicked his dog. &amp;ldquo;How do you actually  drink that garbage?&amp;rdquo; He picks up Deans glass and pours it out, much to  the dismay of Dean, who&amp;rsquo;s just a little too drunk to stop him, but  certainly sober enough to feel the loss in his pocket.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  man, the one with grey hair and a life heavy enough to weigh on his eye  sockets, calls the bartender over and tells him to &amp;ldquo;give him what I&amp;rsquo;m  havin&amp;rdquo;, too tipsy to keep the ending letters of his words attached.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As  the bartender makes quick work of the request, sliding the drink over  to Dean, who tries to pay but gets shot down with the oh-so-sweet offer  of the other man&amp;rsquo;s tab, said man finally coughs out a reply to the  question Dean threw back at his face as a first word. &amp;ldquo;You can call me  House.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dean laughs. And then he laughs louder, and louder,  and throws his head back into a full blown cackle. House looks at him  with a curious smile, wondering why his laughter is so contagious. &amp;ldquo;What  kinda dumb name-!?&amp;rdquo; Dean is quickly shushed into silence by the other  patrons, but the remnant of a laugh on his face remains. House, if  blackmailed, might admit he thinks it&amp;rsquo;s cute.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They look at  each other; staring into each other&amp;rsquo;s eyes, they both think that they&amp;rsquo;ve  found something, something that might haunt them. Dean opens his mouth  to speak, but House is ever so rudely interrupted by a phone call. One  where he mutters big words that go over Deans head, though he can make  out the simple words like cancer, disease, infection, and all of the  even simpler word like idiot, moron, and braindead. House pockets his  phone and turns back to Dean, but suddenly whispers some random word to  himself, as if every answer he&amp;rsquo;d ever need just came to him at once, as  if God cut the opening ribbon on a library only House had access to.  House storms out of the bar before Dean can give out his name.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dean  does the thing that you do when someone is running away from you,  reaching his hand out as if he can catch House. But he can&amp;rsquo;t, and to  catch him would mean bad things for whoever has the cancer or the  disease or the infection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Almost mournfully, Dean takes small sips of whatever House ordered for him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s the best damn thing he&amp;rsquo;s ever put in his mouth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;︶⊹︶︶୨୧︶︶⊹︶&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Surrounding  Dean are the worst four walls he could ever have had the misfortune of  being trapped in. A goddamn vegan restaurant in the middle of the city.  It was a miracle he wouldn&amp;rsquo;t have to actually eat there, but just  looking over and seeing his brother not hating it was enough to make his  stomach churn.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Disguised as health inspectors they shamble  around looking for evidence that isn&amp;rsquo;t there, though they do find enough  solidified disgust to warrant calling an actual health inspector. But  no ghosts, never ghosts anymore, Dean thought. Hardly had they  encountered cold spots and wiring issues anymore, just sulfur, black  eyes, and wings. They hadn&amp;rsquo;t found any of that stuff either.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On  their way out, Dean spots House and has a feeling they&amp;rsquo;re here for the  same reason. A case. He doesn&amp;rsquo;t know why but he feels like the guy knows  him pretty well. Living a life dictated by the monster of the week, or  for him the patient of the week, based on the phone call Dean kind of  remembers overhearing, it&amp;rsquo;s something Dean almost felt alone in. And he  knew he was alone, sure the formula was the same, but beneath Houses  formula there laid science, while Dean was stuck with ghosts, mostly  demons, and hardly any concrete answers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Dean walks by House, he puts his hand on Houses shoulder. A pretty blond man falls in diagonal line behind House.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;You&amp;rsquo;re a doctor right? Pretty gross back there. Whatever nasty crap you&amp;rsquo;re looking for, you&amp;rsquo;re probably gonna find it.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;House  stills for a second, looking at Dean, and then takes in a breath, one  that seems different than any other breath he&amp;rsquo;s taken. It&amp;rsquo;s hard to tell  why, they think almost in sync. Something in the air shifts and they  both feel it. Sam feels it, the confused blond behind House certainly  sees it. House nods and they both go their separate ways, farther into  the restaurant and further away from the air of it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;︶⊹︶︶୨୧︶︶⊹︶&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A  few days later, Deans head pounds as he and Sam walk down the city&amp;rsquo;s  streets, looking for something to eat. Sam looks at him, looks down at  him, and they both know he drank just a little more than he really  should have last night. Dean wears a bit of a weary, zoned-out look on  his face as Sam&amp;rsquo;s words, important words, fall into his ear, stumble  around in his brain a little as they knock on doors and ask to be  acknowledged, but eventually spill out the other. He&amp;rsquo;s, of course,  trying to pay attention, but it seems that it&amp;rsquo;s just not working today.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Hey, man, are you alright? You seem pretty out of it.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dean  snaps himself back into place, mostly. He starts to realize just how  much his head really hurts and grasps onto it as if the touch will heal  it. It feels like it almost does, like it could. But it doesn&amp;rsquo;t.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Yeah,  I-&amp;rdquo; A sharp bout of pain strikes through his head, like lighting,  forcing a pained noise out from his mouth. A duller pain rolls through  as if it were thunder in his head, but he&amp;rsquo;s still focused on the after  effects of what felt like a stab. &amp;ldquo;My head hurts.&amp;rdquo; It&amp;rsquo;s all he can spit  out, his expression -- quick blinking, wide eyes, a grimace -- doing the  heavy lifting of his message where words fail him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He feels  Sam&amp;rsquo;s hands somewhere on him, though it&amp;rsquo;s difficult to pinpoint where,  maybe an arm or a shoulder. He tries to force out some words about  needing to sit down and get some water, but his legs do it for him. Dean  falls hits the sidewalk quick, or at least he thinks he does. He can&amp;rsquo;t  see much, and most of his other senses seem to not be working great  either.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;My brother&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; He manages to make out a few words  through the high pitched sound of ringing. &amp;ldquo;..trouble breathing? I don&amp;rsquo;t  know he said..&amp;rdquo; Dean feels a hand on his chest. &amp;ldquo;&amp;hellip; beating just fine.  We&amp;rsquo;re near&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; The voice, though familiar, doesn&amp;rsquo;t sound like his brother  anymore; it sounds much older. And he&amp;rsquo;s not quite sure Sam&amp;rsquo;s hands were  that size before.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ringing turns into sirens.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;︶⊹︶︶୨୧︶︶⊹︶&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Brightness  floods his senses -- bright sounds, bright lights, bright feelings--  though not good brightness; the prickly kind of brightness that numbs  your feet and ruins your eyes and puts a hurt in your ears that mixes  dull and sharp. He hears small clippings of a conversation peeking into  his ears, but ultimately not entering them fully. His head certainly  feels better, and getting used to his surroundings opens up his senses  to actually sense things. He sees his brother and another familiar face.  He blinks a couple times, doing the standard things you do when you  wake up, rubbing his eyes and clutching his head in agony. He falls back  into a laid down position almost instantly after sitting up.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Dean?&amp;rdquo; It seemed almost instantaneous that Sam appeared next to him. &amp;ldquo;You okay?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Yeah,  it&amp;rsquo;s just.&amp;rdquo; He grunts, whether it&amp;rsquo;s the pain in his head causing it or  just the general soreness about him. &amp;ldquo;It&amp;rsquo;s nothing. The hospital?  Really? I mean, really Sammy, all I need is a cold beer-&amp;rdquo; He attempts to  sit up again, having his lies instantly revealed to the room by an  involuntary groan. &amp;lsquo;Damn you&amp;rsquo; he thinks in regards to his own mouth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sam gives Dean that smile he smiles when Dean is being frustrating.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Well,  one, you passed out, so&amp;hellip; don&amp;rsquo;t think a &amp;lsquo;cold beer&amp;rsquo; will fix that. And  second, Dr. House insisted on it when he saw you.&amp;rdquo; Sam gestures  generally in the direction of the man, who does that overexcited wave  kids do when they see, well, anyone really. &amp;ldquo;How do you know this guy  anyway?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dean waves off the comment with his hand. &amp;ldquo;Not  important.&amp;rdquo; He finally finds a way to sit up that pleases whoever is  hammering nails into the inside of his head. &amp;ldquo;What is important is  getting out of here..&amp;rdquo; He trails off as he adjusts his sitting position  to get off the bed. &amp;ldquo;&amp;hellip; So we can do our job.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;House&amp;rsquo;s cane pushes him pack into his spot on the bed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Oh  no you don&amp;rsquo;t, ya little bugger.&amp;rdquo; House ignores the little cry of &amp;ldquo;Hey&amp;rdquo;  that Dean pretends he thinks will work to subdue the doctor before him.  &amp;ldquo;See, we other people have jobs too, and mine is curing you. Seeing as  you passed out from the strenuous activity known as... Oh, what was it,  walking? You might need me to do that job. And I&amp;rsquo;m assuming that  whatever job you two have that your little brother over here won&amp;rsquo;t tell  me about isn&amp;rsquo;t very easy to do when you&amp;rsquo;re passed out on the floor.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dean can&amp;rsquo;t find anything to argue with, but he does anyway. &amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;ll be fine, it was a one-time thing.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;House doesn&amp;rsquo;t even let him think about getting off the bed again before pushing him back onto it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Tests  say it wasn&amp;rsquo;t&amp;rdquo; House picks up Dean&amp;rsquo;s file and holds it next to his  head, bringing it farther away so he can tap on it with his cane. He  says a bunch of jargon that Dean, again, can&amp;rsquo;t quite process, but it&amp;rsquo;s  certainly sensible to the average non-doctor enough to make him want to  sit right there in his hospital bed and not move much for a while.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Now!&amp;rdquo;  House takes a bit of a deep breath, not a genuine one, but one to make  emphasis. He seems to do that a lot. Dean thinks it&amp;rsquo;s a little cute.  Dean thinks he should rip that thought from his brain and throw it  straight into the nearest trash bin. &amp;ldquo;I have a few questions to ask.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;What ki-&amp;ldquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Are you on any drugs?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dean takes a moment to gape. &amp;ldquo;Uh, No-&amp;ldquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Have you ever taken drugs?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;No-&amp;ldquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Really?  Cause&amp;rsquo; I don&amp;rsquo;t know if you realize it but you were talking a whole lot  about ghosts on the way over here. And demons. And all sorts of other  things, but I think you got the point from ghosts and demons.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dean looks over at Sam, who grimaces and looks away. &amp;ldquo;I thought I was asleep the whole time.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;You  were! You just also happened to be talking about the thrilling career  you&amp;rsquo;ve made out of hunting monsters, while you were sleeping. Crazy,  right?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dean saves the rolling his eyes as something he does  inside of his head and instead puts on a charming smile. &amp;ldquo;I watch a lot  of movies, doctor. And I don&amp;rsquo;t take drugs.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;House looks at him  for a moment and slides into a smile Dean would consider almost as  charming as his own. If he were crazy. Which he might be.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;You&amp;rsquo;re quite an interesting one.&amp;rdquo; House writes something down in Dean&amp;rsquo;s chart.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dean&amp;rsquo;s chest feels funny.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It must just be the medical problems.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;︶⊹︶︶୨୧︶︶⊹︶&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A  couple days later, Dean&amp;rsquo;s head only hurts the normal amount and any  risk of fainting has been eliminated. Unless, of course, a ghost spooks  him. House really gripped onto that tight, not letting it go for even a  second. Dean didn&amp;rsquo;t really mind, even though it seemed to stress Sam out  a little.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The brothers pack Dean&amp;rsquo;s things together and Dean  decides that it&amp;rsquo;s time for some thinking about that strange, hot old man  who cured him. More particularly the things his team had said about  him. Dr. Cameron was the first to comment on how Dean seemed special to  House, how House never really talked to patients, how it made her wonder  why he was different. House has had plenty crazy patients, why care so  much about the guy who&amp;rsquo;s not even claiming to actually believe in  ghosts. It made Sam hold back a bit of a laugh and it made Dean wonder  why, indeed, House seemed to be so interested in him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Following  Dr. Cameron&amp;rsquo;s comment, Dr. Chase and Dr. Foreman commented the same  thing again at different times. Dean figured this House must really be a  weird guy. It only made Dean want to talk with him again more. If he  were the type, he&amp;rsquo;d almost say he&amp;rsquo;d missed him. But that&amp;rsquo;s ridiculous.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On  his way out the door, Dean has his with granted. House plants himself  firmly in the way and immediately realizes he doesn&amp;rsquo;t have anything to  speak of besides the desire to speak. &amp;ldquo;Hi.&amp;rdquo; He spits out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Hi.&amp;rdquo;  Dean replies, with a bigger smile than might be considered appropriate.  And Dean wouldn&amp;rsquo;t consider himself a hugging man, but today he does and  he gives House a firm, one-armed hug around the shoulders. He has to  get onto his tiptoes a little bit, which makes blood flush to his face a  little. Maybe he&amp;rsquo;s sick again. When Sam walks past House, they shake  hands, Dean hears a thanks being said behind him. He knows he&amp;rsquo;s going to  miss something about this place. He wonders what.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;︶⊹︶︶୨୧︶︶⊹︶&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dean  ends up in the same bar he started in. He tried to think of anywhere  else to go, anywhere else he wanted to go, but his heart pulled strings  in the decision process so heavily that he found himself hoping to see  his doctor again. And he&amp;rsquo;d never really liked going to the doctor. He  almost walks out when he sees the bar empty, but before he can sit down  and resign himself to drinking alone he hears the &amp;lsquo;tap-tap-Tap-TAP&amp;rsquo; of  wood on wood. Looking to the source of the sound Dean sees an occupied  table with a greying, though handsome, doctor.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dean slides  into the chair across House&amp;rsquo;s; He&amp;rsquo;s met with food that certainly looks  exactly like it came from this bar. Two possibly overcooked burgers and  fries that claimed to have cheese on them, but instead were just soggy.  Dean picks up the burger because food is food and you need it when  you&amp;rsquo;re drinking.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;How&amp;rsquo;d you know I&amp;rsquo;d be here?&amp;rdquo; Dean speaks  through a mouthful. He feels comfortable with House, for some reason. Or  maybe he just realizes politeness isn&amp;rsquo;t necessary when speaking to  someone like the man across from him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;House shrugs. &amp;ldquo;I just  knew.&amp;rdquo; He daringly puts a fry in his mouth and his face wrenches up in  disgust as he spits it out. He bothers the poor, lone worker manning the  tables about how crap the food is, but Dean isn&amp;rsquo;t paying much attention  to the words coming out of his mouth -- more so just his mouth. It&amp;rsquo;s  annoying how much it distracts him, it&amp;rsquo;s annoying how annoying it is,  it&amp;rsquo;s annoying that House is annoying, and it&amp;rsquo;s quite annoying how many  things are annoying him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;House seems resigned to his soggy  fries after being told something along the lines of &amp;lsquo;well, that&amp;rsquo;s just  the way they&amp;rsquo;re s&amp;rsquo;posed to be, now eat &amp;lsquo;em &amp;lsquo;fore I have to make ya.&amp;rsquo;  Picking up his burger he takes a bite and decides it&amp;rsquo;s not intolerable  and reaches into the aid kit that is the condiment box on their table to  rescue his burger with ketchup.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Where&amp;rsquo;s your brother?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Studying.&amp;rdquo; Dean replies. It is true. Technically.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;He a student?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;It&amp;rsquo;s uhh&amp;hellip; for our job.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;House nods.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Why aren&amp;rsquo;t you with him?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dean  stills. His thoughts still. Why isn&amp;rsquo;t he helping Sam? Why isn&amp;rsquo;t he  taking a nice big nap in their hotel room instead of helping Sam? Why  isn&amp;rsquo;t he drinking alone in one of the numerous other bars in the city?&lt;br /&gt;He blinks some motion back into himself.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;I&amp;hellip; You. I wanted to find you.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dean  rubs his head, like his headache was back, like maybe it was this bar  that caused all of it. This bar, it&amp;rsquo;s occupants, the grey stubble, the  pretty lips, the blue eyes, the free drink, the pretty lips.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;House  doesn&amp;rsquo;t seem very affected. Well, he does, but he&amp;rsquo;s obviously been  expecting that answer since before either of them even sat at this  table. He rests his head on the handle of his cane. He seems almost  dejected, like he knows the answer to the next question as well, but he  knows it won&amp;rsquo;t make anybody happy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Will I ever know what you do for work?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dean huffs a pretend laugh, a dry one that doesn&amp;rsquo;t mean a thing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;For your sake I pray you never do, and I don&amp;rsquo;t pray.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;House nods again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another  question. Dean can see it through his face; he&amp;rsquo;s conjuring up words to  ask something, another something. Something Dean wants, something House  wants. It&amp;rsquo;s hard not to know it even without words being spoken. House  almost asks but then, looks at Dean. And he realizes something.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He doesn&amp;rsquo;t need to ask any more questions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dean has the answers stored in his eyes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And  so there is no question. House drops his hold on his cane and grabs the  back of Dean&amp;rsquo;s head instead, as if it could hold him up, as if it could  make him walk again. Their mouths crash together like a plane to open  water; they get entirely enveloped in each other. It almost, just for a  moment, feels as if there had never been another person on earth. And  why would they want there to be?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They pull apart from each  other, leaving drool as a track between their mouths. Maybe in a  different situation, one of them might have muttered something like &amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;m  sorry&amp;rdquo;, or possibly a criticism of the others lack of asking. But not  tonight.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;House&amp;rsquo;s hand fell off the back of Dean&amp;rsquo;s head and he  relaxed back into his seat, Dean does the same. They didn&amp;rsquo;t feel any  need to break eye contact. Not when all the answers sat across from  them, when the answers were splayed out inside of the others eyes like  pretty stars.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dean gathers himself, breaks the connection in  their gaze, and takes the final bite of his burger. He looks down at  House as he stands next to him, picking up his cane that he&amp;rsquo;d dropped  and handing it to him. House looked at Dean like he were a puzzle.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;For  your sake and mine,&amp;rdquo; Dean casts his heart aside; he thinks of the past.  He thinks of what has happened and applies it to what might. It hurts.  &amp;ldquo;I hope we never have to see each other again.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before  dragging himself away, he lets his heart win one more time and gives  House another kiss. Less like a crash, more like flowers rubbing up  against each other after being planted close together.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Dean has to go, like always.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=deantestines&amp;ditemid=696&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Hi!!</title>
  <link>https://deantestines.dreamwidth.org/311.html</link>
  <description>Uhm, so. I don&apos;t really know what to do with this account. I love supernatural and house and crossshipping! I like, don&apos;t really know what to do on here but I like journaling websites and I&apos;ve heard very good things about dreamwidth. I also like writing fanfiction, my ao3 is wirefins but I&apos;ll probably crosspost things maybe? I don&apos;t know how to make friends or uhm do much of anything on this website yet but it seems fun! I like websites where you &quot;create your own algorithm&quot; because fyps are evil and only show me things i don&apos;t want to see like fandoms im not in and r18 stuff. tumblr is awesome but no matter how many people i block tadc and hannibal (the show i love the books) always end up in my face. and i dont have any friends there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=deantestines&amp;ditemid=311&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>
