#housner

A good chunk of the fandom considers this to be a Hilson moment, as shippers will use this scene to prove that, because Amber bores a lot of resemblance to House, Wilson actually (or also) has feelings for House. A perfectly solid argument, So far, so good.

Now, to what really matters.

Early on in the same episode it is revealed Kutner felt something for Amber as well, going as far as asking her out. And, if we look back to previous episodes, we'll notice he does seem to warm up to her as the game goes, messing with her and even looking amused by her presence. He states it himself:

So, giving the fact Amber is basically a female House, if we believe that Wilson likes her because of this, couldn't we apply the same to Kutner?

Despite being quite literally a bitch, Amber grew on Kutner, and he started admiring her for who she is, even wanting to date her. With her being so similar to House, you can't help but wonder but wonder what could go inside Kutner's mind, specially after getting rejected.

And, serious or not, if you consider what he says to House the episode before...

I can't tell who exactly caught his attention first, but in his case I'm more inclined to think it was the other way around in regards to which of the two reminded him of the other.

sjshsuwhwhwhw yeah idk if I understand them yet but I love what they've got going on. they are so alike but also so different and so tragic.

some scattered thoughts about them:

i like that house kept firing him and he kept coming back hehdhssh he truly was meant for this fellowship.

and when kutner gives house the watch for secret santa and he's smiling until he sees thirteen and taub and realises they were watching dhshshsh he was literally caught flirting with their boss. and house grinning as he walks away. top housner moments of all time 💖💖💖 house was so fond of him and kutner matched his freak. they should have kissed.

"Thank you, House."

"Don't thank me. He's the one that saved your life."

She turns to face the man next to her — Seth. His name is Seth —, who stays quiet, but is eventually unable to contain a smile. And as he avoids her gaze when she smiles back, there's a clear understanding of everything there is to be understood. They embrace, no more words spoken, in their secret confessions. A confession she shares for a fraction of time before he turns the monitor off. Clenching her fingers in Seth's arm, looking through the screen deep into House's eyes. Hoping he understands. Hoping he knows.

Cate… Dr. Milton's eyes are brown. Almost golden.

"He likes her" He says before leaving the room. The silence somehow feels too heavy.

It's night. He knows where Wilson is, where his girlfriend will be. He's going there, he has to, even if his will is too low for his curiosity to stand. Even if he feels like he could throw up at the mere sight of affection, of one's passionate smile. Even if he wonders what would be like…

He wonders a lot, but is barely able to process the words that come out of his mouth as he stops Kutner before he can leave the hospital.

"Did you mean it?"

Kutner merely frowns. Maybe he's forgotten, just as House should have. Maybe he pretends he has.

"When you said you loved me"

It would be his exact idea of a joke, House thinks. Just mock his duckling a little more to cheer up. But it isn't, not this time. He can see Kutner sees that. Right now, if anything, he's only mocking himself. It feels the whole world is, even Kutner. And maybe that would be best.

Come on. Laugh. Laugh and say no. They could all just go home, and he'd sit in front of his piano and erase it all from his head. Wilson's secret girl, Dr. Milton, the fact he still believed someone would ever say such words to him and be telling the truth. Remind me once again how stupid I am and we can call it a day.

He wants it so bad and doesn't want it even more. But when Kutner looks away, House wonders if he ever even knew what he truly wanted.

"Think I got carried away at the time... Or not"

One glance at his hand. Kutner's lips curve, trying to hold his smile. Maybe the first one he saw in his face that week.

"It's nice of you. Wearing the watch"

House looks at his own pulse. The watch is bulkier, bigger than his last one, and it somehow feels lighter. Lighter as opposed to his heart, heavy as a stone pressing against his ribs. Colder than the South Pole. But it fits just right, as it does his hand when it closes against Kutner's shoulder.

"Yeah…It's a very nice watch."

And he understands. Clenching his fingers, looking deep into his eyes.

Lawrence's eyes are brown, too dark to be golden. That made them all the more beautiful.

What a sickening thing love was.

As if him straightening his posture as soon as House enters the room wasn't enough. My guy, why are you holding your breath while he's taking off the coat??

And letting his head drop to hide that he was staring-
