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.

House smiled at him, and then picked up the phone and ordered - salad, a burger for him, a piece of chocolate cake, and champagne.

When he hung up, he leaned in and kissed him. "I told you that story just because... it's a bit of a sore spot. I trust you. And I don't think you were lecturing me."

"I wouldn't do that," Corbin said. "But... I mean, there's no shame in addiction. I mean- I..."

He trailed off, then shrugged. "I'm just saying that I would understand is all."

[drfeelbad]

House looked at him for a long moment and then said gently, "Your're right. There's not. And if I was an addict, I..." He wasn't quite meeting Corbin's eyes now. "I need to function. To do my job. To not be in pain."

[prince_of_nymphs]

"I get that," Corbin assured him.

[drfeelbad]

House leaned over and kissed him again. "I feel better talking about this with you than anyone else in a long time," he said quietly.

[prince_of_nymphs]

"I'm glad you feel you can talk to me about it at all," Corbin said sincerely. "I'm touched."

[drfeelbad]

"I told you you were special," House said.

[prince_of_nymphs]

Corbin leaned in and kissed him again, softer this time.

"You're special too," he promised.

[drfeelbad]

"Now I'm not sure if I'm spoiling you or you're spoiling me this weekend," House said.

[prince_of_nymphs]

"It can be both," Corbin grinned, stealing another kiss.

[drfeelbad]

"It's all these kisses," House murmured when it broke, and kissed his neck. "Spoiling me..."

[prince_of_nymphs]

"Goes both ways, lover," Corbin smiled,humming contently.

[drfeelbad]

"Have I mentioned how gorgeous you are?" House moved so that he was practically on top of him, kissing his neck and throat. "A vision..."

[prince_of_nymphs]

Corbin blushed and laughed, giving Greg's bum a playful squeeze.

"Yes, well, you're dreadfully handsome."

[drfeelbad]

There was a knock at the door then. "Well fuck," House said. "I guess the nice rooms get you quick service. Do you mind?" His leg ached a little still and he suspected Corbin could pull on clothes a lot faster. "My wallet's on the dresser if you want to grab some money for a tip."

[prince_of_nymphs]

"I've got the tip," Corbin insisted, pulling on a robe and grabbing his wallet before heading to the door.

He returned shortly after with the tray the man had wheeled in, carrying it to the bed so they could properly indulge.

"I do love room service," he admitted. "I'm not one for big meals, but I do like to dine in bed," he grinned.

[drfeelbad]

House had shifted to sit up in the bed, and he smiled. "I haven't done this in ages," he said.

[prince_of_nymphs]

"No? You should treat yourself as kindly as you treat me," Corbin smiled, starting to eat.

[drfeelbad]

"I don't think spending a weekend in a hotel room by myself would be very satisfying," House pointed out as he reached for the burger. "Even with the food."

[prince_of_nymphs]

"I dunno, nothing wrong with romancing yourself a bit," Corbin chuckled.

[drfeelbad]

"Usually I just romance myself in the shower," House said, deadpan, and poured the wine.

[prince_of_nymphs]

"That's not romance, that's quick and dirty," Corbin teased.
