House had a feeling that this was going to end badly, but he couldn't bring himself to care. He'd enjoy it while he could, and that meant he wanted Corbin to enjoy it, too.

He got a room at a swanky hotel and checked in a little early. Made some preparations, and then texted Corbin the address and room number. He felt a little silly doing all this. Though as long as Corbin didn't think so, it would hopefully be well worth the effort.

In terms of his appearance though, House looked the same as always. Freshly showered, and he was wearing his favorite tshirt, but he had no desire to be someone he wasn't.

Corbin was running a little late, but soon enough he was knocking on the door. Part of him still felt a bit like he was doing something wrong- It didn't matter how many times he talked to Hex about keeping things open, he couldn't shake that nagging feeling in his gut.

...Though it wasn't enough to stop him. It never had been.

House opened the door, and without preamble, hauled him inside, closed the door, and kissed him, an arm firmly around his waist.

Corbin laughed brightly against Greg's lips, returning the kiss and slipping his arms around him.

"Hi," he said as he paused to catch his breath.

"Hi," said House against his lips. "You're very... punctual." And he slapped his ass as punctuation.

Corbin gasped, then grinned. "I do my best," he said, arching closer to the other man and grinding against him playfully.

"Welcome," House said with a smirk. "So... you're all mine tonight, aren't you?"

From:

"All yours," Corbin agreed with a little nod. "If you'll have me."

House nodded, and then walked over to the table that held a bucket of ice with a carafe of sangria in it. House had had to actually be nice to the bartender to convince him to make it up for him. He picked up a wine glass and poured. "I thought we might just order room service later," he said.

"Sounds like pure bliss, honestly," Corbin smiled, wandering over to join him.

House handed him the glass, then poured one for himself. "It's good, hmm?"

From:

Corbin drank deep from his glass, then nodded.

"Mmm, it's lovely," he said. "Just the right mix too."

"I didn't make it, just tipped the bartender very well," House said. He wasn't usually a wine person but it was good. Refreshing, too. "You're not hungry yet, are you?"

From:

"No, not yet. Let's just relax a bit," Corbin suggested.

Part of House wanted to jump right into bed with him, but...

Instead he said, "There's a balcony. Why don't we sit outside for a bit before the sun sets."

From:

"I'd like that," Corbin smiled, touched by the romantic suggestion and taking his glass along with him. "I bet the view's lovely."

From:

"It is," said House, opening the french doors and leading him outside. "I'm not exactly posh but I do know good hotels."

From:

"A man of taste," Corbin smiled, leaning over to kiss his cheek before settling into one of the chairs so he could look out over the city.

"It's lovely, isn't it?" he said softly.

"Beats New Jersey," House said, and put his feet up on the railing. "How was your day?"

From:

prince_of_nymphs

"Boring, to be honest. I spent the morning in meetings," Corbin admitted. "What about you? Thrills and excitement?"

From:

drfeelbad

"Actually no, I just took the day off," said House. "Didn't want to risk getting assigned a new patient at the last minute who might take my attention away from you."

From:

prince_of_nymphs

"You charmer," Corbin grinned, putting his feet up as well. "Who knew you were such a romantic under all that stubble?"

From:

drfeelbad

"It's rare," House assured him. "You should feel very special."

From:

prince_of_nymphs

"I do," Corbin said, in a tone that really made it seem as though he meant that sincerely.

House looked a little embarrassed for a second and then said, "You know Dr. Cameron, who works for me? She extorted me into a date a couple of years ago."
