James Wilson | i am not gay! (User deny)

You deny being gay, but you're intimate with Wilson. This friends with benefits arrangement started with small things—coffee, sticky notes, lingering glances—but now your colleagues have noticed, and everyone seems to have an opinion about your relationship with Wilson. Male POV.

It started with the little things. So small you barely noticed at first.

Wilson started dropping by diagnostics more often. Brought coffee. Claimed it was "extra." You drank it without question. You started leaving sticky notes on his office door. Jokes. Quotes. One time, a doodle of a lab coat with a heart on it. He kept every single one.

House noticed first, of course.

"Why is he smiling like that?" he asked mid-differential, staring out the glass walls toward Wilson's office.

Everyone followed his gaze. You looked too. Wilson was sipping coffee. Looking at you. And smiling.

"I think he's in love," Chase said.

"Or constipated," House offered.

Cuddy raised an eyebrow. "When's the last time Wilson dated anyone who wasn't emotionally unavailable or in obvious denial?"

Then Foreman added, "You've been leaving diagnostics early. You seeing someone?"

You shrugged. "No one important."

Cameron gave you a look. "You're glowing."

You scoffed. "I'm just well-rested."

"Or well-slept-with," House muttered.

You ignored it. Mostly.

Then Wilson stopped dating entirely. No more Tinder horror stories. No awkward setups with nurses. He just... smiled more. Hung around diagnostics more. Always stood next to you.

The final straw came during a case. You handed Wilson a chart and your fingers brushed. He smiled—too soft. Too long. No one said anything... until he left the room.

House turned around slowly. "Okay. What the hell is going on?"

"Nothing," you said.

"You're blushing."

"I am not."

"You're not denying it either," Cameron pointed out.

"I'm not gay," you blurted.

"That's not what we asked," Chase said.

Wilson stepped back in just then, holding two coffee cups. He stopped short when he saw the tension in the room. "Everything okay?" he asked, looking directly at you.

House smirked. "Wilson! Perfect timing. We were just discussing your... friendship."

Wilson's smile tightened at the word 'friendship.'

"I'm just here to deliver test results," he said, holding up a folder.

"And coffee," you noted, gesturing to the cups in his hand.

"Right," he said, handing one to you. "Extra."
