you're scared and suicidal you die? those scars you gave yourself with all your buddies' names disappear better hope you remember when you wake up in the morgue completely healed otherwise that was a hell of a wasted effort
you're scared and suicidal and trying to justify it to yourself

you came back wrong the purge begins at midnight better watch out, petey
[Yeah, he doesn't even know, but he's so over this. Peter can't know that this is bringing back memories of Kid, of House with his own death price, his sanity gone, coaching Kid on the best means to kill himself. He's angry and he's upset that Peter's forcing the memories to the forefront. He buried them for a reason.]
[To think he ever thought he'd be the tiniest bit helpful. Peter's angry now that he didn't get what he wanted, was clearly wrong about several things and no, he wasn't self-destructive--]
you better hope youre far away from me when it happens
[It's not even satisfying. House just feels... unwell that another person came to him asking for ideas for how to kill themselves in useful ways. He knows he's built something of a reputation, but he can't keep doing this. What happens to him doesn't matter. He's not here to help other people do what he does.]
I was saving your delicate sensibilities. One of the chicks asked for birth control. They're having sex with Watson and wanna make sure they can't have his spawn.
[Let's talk about your least favorite person, Will. That's a better topic.]
Sometimes it was detrimental to try to push a conversation. It gave the other man too much leeway to spin away from the topic at hand, and you ended up further away from the point than when you began.
Sometimes you had to poke and then retreat. Live to poke another day. Will suspected that might be part of what made trying to communicate with House so challenging. It was a constant juggling act, and in Will's experience most people didn't give enough of a fuck to work at it. ]
I'm a judgemental little prick you know that. If you're going to go smear yourself with Watson cooties I need to pick up some disinfectant or something.
You misunderstand me. [ Will said, tossing aside his bit of rubble and drawing his knees upwards so he could rest his arms atop them. ]
I can barely stand to listen to anyone. [ He lifted one hand and began to tick off names. ] Hannibal, Molly, Alana, Jack, Abigail and you. Oh look, I've reached the need to use two hands.
The rest of the world, whether they be male, female, or other? Being around them is like being wrapped in a blanket of cut glass.
[ Will paused and after a second, he lowered the one finger raised on his other hand, so he was only holding up five. ] Pull Jack off that list. I believed in him, at one time and I cared about him, but he was never interested in me as a person.
[There's an uncomfortable sort of thrill when House is named off as one of the people Will doesn't mind for company. That's ridiculous, of course, and House has no desire to act like some sort of eager puppy around the younger man. He shoves it aside to deal with later.]
Well, in that case, yeah. Usually you have to be around them. I mean, unless you wanna cyber with her. I can dig that.
[ Will's lips twitched and he couldn't resist the obvious joke; even if it was aimed at himself. ]
Even my dick's not long enough to reach someone in another room. Cybering would still involve interacting. I'll leave that to you and make a note to tease you about condoms and pregnancy tests after the fact.
[ Nope. He has not forgotten that!
The ex-profiler wasn't going to try to hold back the conversation and make hay out of his comment, listing House among people he could tolerate. It was the truth and Will wasn't entirely sure why or when, but he did know that he could breath when he was around House. And he knew enough about his own fragile mental state to realize how rare it was to feel comfortable around someone.
It was the thing that gave him pause when he planned out how to make sure he ended up in the suit. There was no fear of pain or death. Even though he knew Hannibal was not going to be pleased, he also understood that the doctor's curiosity would bring him back around.
But House?
Losing House was going to hurt, and hurt in a way that he was particularly vulnerable too. ]
[ He'd eventually heard about it from Alana. She had thought she was doing the right thing, letting him know. Will was of two minds on the subject. Part of him agreed with her and part of him wished he'd never known. ]

This is an actual warning, we have time to like prepare and stuff
Whats gonna happen once the red markings cover everything
I dont know about you but i wanna fight back!!!
and if that means stopping myself from being used as a creepy pawn to hurt people i will do whatever it takes
the people that can stop me if something goes wrong either hate me or got the red markings too
If youre not gonna give me an experiment to do, fine ill make one up myself and we all know its probably going to be dumb

Didnt say I'd actually do it

Sitting in whatever building they were in, back against the wall, Will looked over from where he was trying to sand his nail on a bit of rubble. ]
Who yelled at you this time?
STALKER
[Go away, Will.]
A psych case. I referred them out to the local shrink. Not my department.
POT - KETTLE
We're all psych cases in this place, House.

Will just gave House a look. ]
You'd be giggling like a school boy of that was the case and you'd still be talking with her trying to get details.
no subject
[Will's going to have to try a different tactic. House can spin this conversation in circles for a while if he has to.]

[Technically. Sort of. House's expression tightens for a moment as he says that before smoothing over to nonchalance.]
no subject
While he worked it over in his head, Will decided to toss out a gutterball.
Literally. ]
Besides, I thought you were aiming higher these days. Going for that goddess ass?
no subject
[Good. They're getting away from uncomfortable topics.]
You saw her, right? Tell me you wouldn't tap that if she came knocking.
no subject
Will gave the matter some thought, before asking the important question. ]
Do I have to listen to her?
no subject
It's 3151--give or take--we've had to listen to them for centuries. They can even vote now.
