Like, the crux of House and Wilsonâs relationship for Wilson is that Wilson is somewhat preforming kindness and empathy, and around House he doesnât have to. He can be fucked up and a little weird, and play increasingly destructive pranks. He can fight with house, and punch him in the face and ask him to dinner a second later and he doesnât have to preform normality because there is genuinely nothing he can do to ruin this friendship.
And the crux of House and Wilsonâs relationship for House is that Wilson see past Houseâs bs and sees the sliver kindness in Houseâs heart, the one house keeps hidden away deep under layers of sarcasm and insults. Itâs not all the time, as house still gets defensive when Wilson says something that hits a âsore spotâ, but House is still kinder with Wilson than he is with anyone else, he shares his fears with Wilson, and makes sacrifices to make him happy. He doesnât have to preform his âasshole personaâ because Wilsonâs the only safe person to be venerable with.
This is why they need each other, because they have to preform with everyone else, and they always end up back together because we all need someone we can be authentic with, and itâs why theyâre so lonely without each other.
