Wyn & Alwyn

[drfeelbad]

Honestly the data analysis that went into trying to gain insights about Wyn was one of the best intellectual challenges House had had in some time. The data from Alwyn was also enormously helpful, since he could use it as a control. Also the process of getting some of it was... a bonus.

Finally he thought he had a pretty reasonable theory. He didn't really want to wait until he ran into him again, so one day right after class he went to Wyn's room and knocked on the door.

"I'll walk out with you," Alwyn offered. "Hex will be back soon, and I don't want to watch him play nurse with my brother."

[drfeelbad]

House nodded at Alwyn, and then to Wyn, "Let me know if you start feeling worse than you do right now."

[sweet_alwyn]

"I will," Wyn promised, watching Alwyn as his brother pulled on his coat and made his way over to Greg.

"Shall we?" Alwyn asked with a grin, nodding at the door.

[drfeelbad]

House glanced again at Wyn and then followed Alwyn at the door.

"Well he clearly worked out what's going on between us," he said with a snort once they were on the other side of the door.

[sweet_alwyn]

"Mmm," Alwyn agreed, nodding slightly. "He disapproves," he added, able to sense that much from his brother.

[drfeelbad]

"Mmm. Yes, well I would imagine he finds your interest in me surprising," House said.

[sweet_alwyn]

"Perhaps, though I get the feeling he's concerned for you. I'm not sure Wyn trusts me with humans. ...Especially the ones he favours," Alwyn replied with a shrug.

[drfeelbad]

House arched an eyebrow. "What does he think you're going to do to me?"

[sweet_alwyn]

"Hurt you, I assume. You know, use you up then discard you," Alwyn laughed. "If I did though, would you truly mind?" he asked with a purr.

[drfeelbad]

"I am under no delusions that this is anymore than it is," House said, and then shrugged. "I expect you will discard me any second."

[sweet_alwyn]

"It's possible," Alwyn admitted, not about to lie about such things. He knew how fickle he could be. "It's fun for now though, yes?"

[drfeelbad]

"It's certainly very fun for me," said House. "And I'm very glad to hear it's fun for you." Honestly House was a little surprised every time.

[sweet_alwyn]

"I think you're interesting," Alwyn replied. "I like interesting. Interesting is fun."

[drfeelbad]

"That's a lot of pressure," House said with a quirked smile. "Well are you bored right now?"

[sweet_alwyn]

"I'm always looking to be entertained," Alwyn assured him.

[drfeelbad]

"Well, do you... want to come back to my place?" asked House. "I could try to entertain you."

[sweet_alwyn]

"I thought you'd never ask," Alwyn purred. "Lead the way, lover."

[drfeelbad]

House did lead the way, wordlessly, and when they arrived he said, "So how should I entertain you? Play the piano?"

[sweet_alwyn]

"I can think of better ways, but we could start there," Alwyn said, peeling off his coat and inviting himself to sit.

[drfeelbad]

House walked over to the piano and sat down. "Well why don't you think of another way while you listen." He started to play.

[sweet_alwyn]

Alwyn laughed, laying down on the sofa and watching Greg with a warm smile.

He was talented, and the music was beautiful. So much so Alwyn almost didn't want it to stop. It was so nice to just watch Greg play.

[drfeelbad]

House actually forgot he was there briefly. He slipped into improvisational jazz and just kind of got lost in the music. But then he suddenly remembred and stopped playing to look over his shoulder. "Sorry, got a little carried away."

[sweet_alwyn]

"No, don't be sorry, I'm enjoying it," Alwyn assured him. "You're very talented, your hands are a wonder."

[drfeelbad]

House smiled. "I'm just full of surprises. That's how I stay interesting."

[sweet_alwyn]

Alwyn laughed brightly at that, stretching out where he lounged.

"Oh? What will you surprise me with next? Perhaps a fiddle or a lute..."
