#coltner

(ft a picmix i made because the image felt so picmixable. it took like 15mins because i had to close the browser tab every time my lecturer walked behind me </3 the things i do for the bit…)

i think they would go really well together, with kutner who's playful and wacky and easy-going vs cole who's far more serious and less likely to joke around. but they have fun together (not so) surprisingly.

they GO ON A DATE(to a magic show). house questions the fact that cole has to leave work early for his child but makes time to go on man-dates with kutner to magic shows and whatnot lmao

CMONNNNN. look at cole who's dressed really formal, as usual, next to kutner who's... not. look at them smiling at each other.

KUTNER SLAPS HIS ASS. THAT HAPPENS.

kutner also babysits his son, talks about taking him to the zoo!!!!

you want betrayal and messy complicated relationships. they also have that. IMAGINE them meeting again after the betrayal. imagine the messiness of it.

they're probably both repressed but like in really different ways.

you want someone with religious issues. cole uhhh certainly has that.

even house is surprised that cole betrays kutner cosnidering how they really seemed to get along.

After work, after the test-that’s-not-really-a-test in which House had convinced number 18 — Cole — to participate, in which Cole had, allegedly, gotten drunk for like the first time ever, Kutner offers to drive him home, since they’ve already sort of gotten to know each other, setting a patient on fire and all. We’re basically friends now, Kutner tells him as he puts his hand on his shoulder and looks at him with a large grin on his face. Cole doesn’t oppose his declaration of friendship, though, for what it’s worth.

-> opens with cole and kutner on a man date at a magician's show. cole is dressed to the nines next to kutner

-> in general properly introduces and breaks cole and kutner's friendship in one episode and manages to really make me Feel Emotions about it.

-> KUTNER BABYSAT COLE'S KID. like cmonnnnn.

-> house's weird (and borderline creepy) wooing rituals.

-> wilson and house's scene where they talk about their blood types lol

-> also house and the patient, house as usual being obsessive about the Truth. love the implication that house was also into magic tricks as a kid lmao

-> HOUSE AND THIRTEEN. 13 not wanting to know if she has huntington's. their whole moment at the end there. god.

-> amber and taub teaming up just because they're such a hillarious duo

-> honestly i kinda love that little moment of kutner winking at amber and her rolling her eyes i crack up everytime lmaooo the whole scene is gold

-> have i mentioned that I love the title and how the theme rings through the whole episode. the magic being in not knowing. knowing how cole managed to get cuddy's panties takes the magic and fun out of it (by betraying his friend). 13 not wanting to know if she has huntington's. house Needing to Know.

-> KUTNER. just how he was right about it being an actul case, right about the blood transfusions. how he was so happy and kinda cocky almost the whole episode only to be so hurt by the end. just frozen there. leaving without saying goodbye

-> I LOVE COLE I really do. I love how in the opening scene everytime the magician asks him a question he takes it seriously lmao. i love him and kutner(like there are scenes where they're smiling at each other and everything). you can kind of see at the end that he actually feels guilty about the Betrayal.
