Moving straight from 'Nobody Would Ever Love Me' right to 'Rather Forward', House narrowed his eyes slightly in thought, the pleased smirk staying firmly in place. Wilson still looked incredibly nervous, fidgeting with anything, but was smiling and stepping closer. He knew it was probably rather odd to Wilson, that he was being open for once and telling it like it was, but House persisted. Because Wilson was the kind of guy that appreciated honesty, and House had to force himself to do that, then he would.
"I quit the drugs for you, you know." Huh, that... hadn't been on the list of things to say, actually. It was true, though - yeah, House couldn't refuse any sort of bet, but there had been other reasons. "I thought it might make you happy," he continued, unintentionally speaking more softly than usual. And in hindsight, that sounded a little weird, logically, but he'd thought that since his drug addiction seemed to cause Wilson so much stress, maybe it might be a good thing if he tried out the pills Lily made for him.
Despite his casual confidence, House felt the bare hint of uncertainty reach up and grab him. It was all fine and good that Wilson was agreeing and making the appearance that he was willing, but House couldn't ignore how utterly paranoid the guy looked.
