[CLOSED TO ROB] Non-medical assistance

Jun 23, 2009 22:06

Wilson approached Rob's bedside with a small smile. Up to this point, he hadn't actually had a one-on-one conversation with the ailing soldier. All the oncology tests Wilson had performed under House or Chase's direction had been when Rob was unconscious, and further sedated so he didn't wake during them. Wilson didn't feel any less like he knew ( Read more... )

Rob sucked in a small, shallow breath and looked Wilson over momentarily. He had seen this doctor around, and knew he was the cancer doctor. But they hadn't spoken and that was okay. "I'm starting to think you lot grow on trees," he joked hoarsely, his voice mostly just breathless rasping now. "I can hardly remember all your names. And I'm doing brilliantly, of course. Can't you tell?"

"You're just a popular one. We're fighting over who can drag you through the next round of tests," Wilson joked back and gestured to the chair beside Rob's bed that was vacant. "Do you mind if I sit?"

Rob's heavy-lidded eyes remained on Wilson's face for a few lingering moments before he spoke. "That depends," he murmured and then paused to take a few pained breaths. "Are you here to tell me I'm dying? Got cancer."

Wilson shook his head and held his hand up a little. "No, I'm actually here to tell you that we cleared you of that. Two forms of cancer, and the tests came back negative. The team are still looking for answers, but it's not cancer, Rob. I've come to just see if you wanted to talk to someone. I know all this is terrible for you, and you're in a lot of pain. Being scared is inevitable. Sometimes people just need to offload when they're ill. I didn't know if you had anyone you felt like you could open up to. I know when you're in the early stages of a new romance, it's not always easy to feel you can open up to your partner for fear you might be coming on too strong too soon. I just wanted to let you know that if you want to talk about how you're feeling, I'm happy to listen."
