    Summary

    You'd say you're a pretty secretive person.

    House would say you're terrible at it.

    After a disastrous day ends with a drink at a bar, a borrowed shirt, and a moment neither of you knows how to talk about, things between you and House become... complicated.

    Sadly, you're still coworkers.

    Fortunately—or unfortunately—you start getting closer anyway.

    Somewhere between shared cases, uncomfortable conversations, and the increasingly difficult task of pretending nothing happened that night, you begin to realize that the hardest things to diagnose aren't always medical.

    Eventually, you'll have to talk about it.

    If either of you can figure out what "it" is.
