Nothing I say is getting through to him.

[rubikscomplex]

that's almost impressive

[He is so not the person to be playing relationship counselor.]

okay, well
what do you actually want?
i'm assuming "it's for the best"
is your stiff-upper lip eastern bloc way of saying
"i want him
but i'm suffering because we're having a fight"

[tablewithoutpity]

I want to be understood. And to be wanted. Not merely seen as a burden.

[rubikscomplex]

understood and wanted i think we can do
but you are a burden, dude
you're dating a cop
whatever you blended inside his head
he's a cop with a guardian complex
and you're a psycho who murders people in interesting ways
it means he's always gonna see you as a dog who needs a chain
in some capacity
unless you limit your murders exclusively to people he'd consider "bad"
and worth murdering

[tablewithoutpity]

Could it not be said that he, a cop, is likewise a burden to me, as a killer? And do not be fooled, Dr. House. Will is also a killer.

I would be willing to reach such am agreement with him, were he interested in collaboration instead of control.

[rubikscomplex]

i watched him break beckett's neck in ten seconds flat
i don't have any illusions

[He... also still doesn't know how to feel about that. At all. Or deal with it. So, it's getting slammed in the trunk of 'trauma we will not be dealing with today or ever.' It will find a nice home there along with the sight of Hannibal explosively decompressing, Wilson turning into an automaton, and a dozen other horrors Norfinbury has thrown at him.]

but fine
collab
it's a place to start

[tablewithoutpity]

By definition, it ous impossible to collaborate with someone unwilling to do so.

cw: drug addiction

[rubikscomplex]

[House pinches the bridge of his nose. He needs more Vicodin to deal with this.]

yeah
which is why i'm gonna talk to him
and tell him to talk to you

i'm not encouraging him to commit murder
by himself or with you
he does it, fine
whatever
he kills people
i take drugs
everybody has their thing

[God, he shouldn't be trying to rationalize this, but there's not a lot to do when he knows it's just something Will... does. And Beckett does. And a lot of his allies have done.]

but if i can get him to something like stable-ish and listening
can you work with that?

[tablewithoutpity]

If you can, then yes.

[rubikscomplex]

don't screw it up with him again, lecter
i'm not doing this twice

[tablewithoutpity]

Come now. You're well aware he is capable of screwing this up all on his own.

[rubikscomplex]

[Don't get cute.]

i like him more than you, though
easier to blame it on you
