Chapter Text
Chase could write pages as to why he and House can never be together, even as they stare at each other across rooms, even as want is palpable in each of their movements. But the first one in that imaginary list is, of course, the age gap. Twenty years of a difference.
Even if they weren’t boss and employee, their relationship would still be unsavory, would still bring odd looks and raised brows. He tries to ignore it, but it’s a fact— their relationship wouldn’t be socially acceptable.
He still wants to bridge the age gap; to be allowed in.
