This is a deep-friendship to pre-slash story. Now he had to convince House he was okay.' His relief was, however, short-lived as he saw the tight-lipped smile and the look of concern on his friend’s face.
He side-stepped away and fell in line, walking with House down the hall. The world had been lifted from his shoulders as he was permitted, without repercussions to leave the ER. I rated it explicit just because of the subject matter and medical details.
I did keep the details to a minimum because I really wanted this to be about recovery and friendship. WARNING: While the rape in this fic is off-camera, I did include a few details about it that might be triggery so please, PLEASE, don't read if this if this is not your thing.
