Summary -  Wilson can't get off the phone...

Written for the sick_wilson      daily picture prompt challenge #1


"Wilson!"

Of course Cuddy had spotted him as he was walking towards the clinic, phone in hand. Sometimes he thought the woman did nothing but lie in wait in the reception area waiting for he or House to walk through so she could pounce on them.

He put his pleasant, mild mannered, oncologist smile on, and turned towards her, trying to hide his hand behind his back.

"Why are you carrying a desk phone around? Did you lose your cell phone?"

He sighed, sometimes he wished he was in fact Gregory House, and could suggest that he was carrying a desk phone around so he could shove it up the nearest suitable orifice. Being James Wilson he just shrugged ruefully and showed her his hand, phone handset firmly attached to it.

"Apparently it's superglue awareness week. Someone put glue on their handset and then tricked me into picking it up."

Cuddy gave him a fake sympathetic look, but it was fairly obvious she was trying not to laugh.

"Well, that was very childish of someone."

"Can't you find him a case? He's bored and a bored House is a House that goes around putting superglue on people's phones. You don't want to know what part of Taub is glued to the conference room table..."

"You mean...," Cuddy looked in equal parts horrified and intrigued at the thought. "Okay, okay, I'll find him a case."

Cuddy started to walk away and then turned back.

"Wilson, you're not going to retaliate and turn this into some sort of stupid prank war are you?"

"Of course not, we don't all have the mentality of twelve year olds you know. Some of us have actual work to do."

For some reason she seemed reassured by that and smiled at him. He stopped to admire the view as she walked briskly away. As House always said it was worth getting a telling off from Cuddy just to watch the walk-off.

When the show was over he continued on towards the clinic. He'd better get to the solvent before it was all gone. He imagined that it would take quite a bit of it to separate House from the chair in his office. Such a shame he couldn't even call for help.

Wilson had the phone.

Thanks! Wilson can hold his own in these kind of things...

LOL! That was so much fun. I was gonna quote all the parts that made me giggle, but realized that was going to be the whole fic. I miss mischievous Wilson on the show.

Great job!

[menolly-au.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it, yeah Wilson has gotten far too serious lately...

[lifes-own-light.livejournal.com]

Love it! I always love the situations where Wilson and House try to one-up the other on pranks. Thanks for this!

Thanks! Glad you liked it :)

Hurray for House Wilson prank wars! I giggled nearly from the beginning to the end.

[menolly-au.livejournal.com]

I don't think wilson would start a prank war but he would always be the one to finish it :) Glad it made you laugh!

[barefootpuddles.livejournal.com]

I love your Wilson. Reminds me of early season Wilson when he seemed to have a much more mischievous side. I am sure once House gets unglued he will appreciate the talent behind the prank.

[menolly-au.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I think maybe events have worn him down on the show - He and House need to get a way for a looonnggg vacation....

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

Awesome. Last. Line.

[menolly-au.livejournal.com]

Thank. You. :)

Ha Ha!! I love it. I too have missed this side of Wilson and his interaction with House. I second the motion that House and Wilson need to get away together for a long vacation...somewhere romantic...;-D

[menolly-au.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Yep, House and Wilson road trip gets my vote...

Oh, how I love those occasions when House manages to outsmart himself -- and it's all the better when Wilson promptly takes advantage.

That last line is pure gold!

[menolly-au.livejournal.com]

Thanks :) Yeah, Wilson can give as good as he gets...

Since everyone else already said what I think about H/W pranks better than I could, I'll just mention how much I appreciate Cuddy being back (ahem) to her natural role.

[menolly-au.livejournal.com]

Thanks :) Glad you liked the Cuddy bits :)

[all-things413.livejournal.com]

This was funny. You've got the old dynamic down pat. I can just see the awe on House's face when he found out what Wilson did. Great job!

[menolly-au.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)
