   Summary

   “But you’re in pain. And there’s an orange box full of painkillers in your pocket.” He swallows hard, trying to finish what he’s saying before the coughing shakes his throat and his mind and the words dissipate. “You could take them. All the pain could go away - at the cost of selfishness.” The cough wracks his body again. “You’ve always been willing to lose anyone, anything at that cost. Cuddy and stacy and-”

   “I’m losing you either way.” He brushes a thumb over Wilson’s lips. “This time I want to do it right.”

   (Or: Wilson is dying. And maybe house is dying too.)
