Chapter-1/?
“I can’t believe you told Cuddy I had a mental breakdown,” Wilson said annoyed at Chase who was busy packing Wilson’s things for him.
“I didn’t tell her that you had a mental breakdown I told her I thought you needed a vacation, a proper one not just taking a day off to try and fail to clear your head,” Chase said.
“She gave you and me three weeks off, I knew acquired vacation time would be useful one day,” Chase said with a smile.
“You haven’t even told me where we’re going, from the looks of all the clothes it seems like somewhere far away,” Wilson said as he looked at the hastily packed clothes in the suitcase.
“Maybe,” Chase said with a grin.
Wilson opened his mouth to say something but stopped when he heard a familiar knock on his hotel door.
“I know that knock,” Wilson said with a tired sigh.
Chase wasn’t surprised when Wilson let House into the hotel room. “So where are you two off to?” House asked.
Wilson sighed and placed his hands on his hips “I don’t know, he won’t tell me.”
“Want us to send you a postcard?” Chase asked with a grin.
“I’ll pick out my own postcards, I’m coming with the two of you,” House said with an evil smile.
“What?” Wilson asked.
“Well you didn’t expect for you and the wombat to have all the fun did you?” House asked “Cuddy told me how long you’d be gone and I asked for the same vacation time as long as I did two weeks worth of clinic duty when I got back so whatever you’re planning Chase better make it worth those two weeks.”
“Go put your stuff in my car,” Chase said as he tossed House his car keys.
“We’re taking your car?” House whined.
“Yup.”
House left grumbling about control over the radio and Chase smiled at a confused Wilson. “You knew he was going to come with us didn’t you?” Wilson asked.
“I had a good idea, you know how he is,” Chase said as he finished packing Wilson’s things.
Wilson nodded before Chase continued “Besides this vacation might do him a world of good too.”
The older man quirked an eyebrow “What do you have planned?”
Chase smiled as he picked up Wilson’s two suitcases “Nothing.”
Wilson followed Chase out to the parking lot where his car and House were waiting. The Aussie shook his head as he saw House sitting in the passenger’s seat flipping through the large CD case.
“Find anything good in there?” Chase asked as he placed Wilson’s luggage in the trunk and slammed it shut.
“It could be worse,” House said as Chase and Wilson got in the car.
“Glad you approve,” Chase said as he started the car and backed out of the parking space.
“So where exactly are we going?” Wilson asked once more. Chase sighed and figured he might as well tell them his plan. “I don’t know,” Chase admitted.
House and Wilson exchanged a glance before House asked “What the hell do you mean you don’t know?”
Chase grinned “I mean I don’t know where we’re going, we’re just gonna get lost…see what we find on the way ok?”
“Is this a vacation or a treasure hunt, what the hell do you mean by ‘let’s see what we find on the way?” House asked in annoyance, he was hoping Chase was going to take Wilson to some posh hotel in the Caribbean or something like that.
Chase bit his lower trying to figure out a way to explain what he was doing. “Robbie I appreciate you wanting me to take a vacation but I can spend a few days at home and then go back to work I’m fine,” Wilson tried to reason with the young man.
“No you’re not,” Chase and House said in unison.
It was silent for a few moments, each man’s eyes firmly set on the road in front of them before Chase finally spoke.
“Have you ever looked back on your life and wondered if you ever really lived?” Chase asked.
“Not really understanding what you’re asking Robbie,” Wilson said.
“I mean, have you ever wondered what life would be like if you decided to drop everything you have to go out and find who you are?”
House and Wilson exchanged another look “We know who we are Robbie,” Wilson said with a confused chuckle.
Chase grinned “We’ll see about that.”
The young Aussie reached over and tapped the CD case in House’s lap “Get out the CD that has a smushed strawberry on it.” House begrudgingly did as he was told and put the CD into the player and Chase turned up the volume on the player.
Wilson pressed his head against the glass of the not really listening to the song playing. He didn’t know what to think about Chase telling him and House that they didn’t know themselves. Maybe the younger man was right maybe this trip would help him help him find himself because right now he sure felt lost.
