LAUGH

Chase would never admit that he missed House. It wasn’t in a way that people missed lost loved ones. More in a way of House being such a giant pain in the arse constant in his life for so long that there was a void. Maybe there always would be.

After lingering suspicions that House faked his own death, suddenly out of the blue he received an unsigned Christmas card in the post with Santa mooning the receiver with his giant pale arse. Chase just closed his eyes with a long-suffering shake of his head. All he could do was laugh.

CARESS

Chase had spent many nights lying awake alone with his thoughts as he stared blankly at the ceiling, sleep evading him. Insomnia had attacked again, only this time, he wasn’t lying in his own bed. He glanced over at the naked, sleeping body beside him for a few moments, pausing in the absent-minded toying of the St. Christopher’s Medal on the chain around his neck.

He rolled onto his side, shifting closer to Connor and softly caressed his bare shoulder. He missed this intimate and peaceful solitude with someone, and now he really didn’t want to let it go again…

MEMORY

Chase didn’t have many of good memories. He always thought a time would come in his life where a happy memory was just as common as getting up and having a successful day at work. But he was still waiting, and he knew he mostly had no one to blame but himself.

He had lots of regrets. Not just from his own mistakes, but from failures of his family too. Going at life alone was supposed to have been a fresh, hopeful start. Now time was ticking away more quickly than ever. He was well overdue for these happy memories.

BEER

These days, Chase found himself sometimes having a drink alone. Sure, it was probably pathetic, but possibly also symbolic of how he was currently feeling in his life. He sat at the bar alone nursing a beer, occasionally glancing at the TV where an Aussie footy game played that he sweet-talked his way into having it switched to.

Only this time, he was here to think. Think alot. He couldn’t get his mind off someone that was right under his nose all this time and now, he was trying to figure out what the hell he should do about it.

RUN

It took a few minutes for him to find some clarity through the morning freshly-woken haziness. Once it came, though, he remembered quickly what had gone down the night before. Typical of his track record, he had gone and done it again, and he probably should be kicking himself by this point.

Only this time, no one had run away. There was an arm around his waist and a warm, naked body spooned up behind his. They had stayed, and because of that alone, he realised he had a hell of a lot to think about all of a sudden...

HOMESICK

These days, Chase got homesick a lot less than he used to. Back in his early days in America, it was being surrounded by unfamiliar things that triggered the homesickness as opposed to really yearning for the home he left. The home he left hadn’t been a happy place in a very long time.

But he loved Australia, and one day, he hoped he could settle down with someone that he could take back and share all the things he loved about his home country. He even hoped that one day, he could share it with kids of his own...

RELATIONSHIP

Chase liked the comfort of being in a relationship. He liked the company, he liked spooning up beside someone in bed, or going out for a nice meal. He liked that butterfly feeling in his gut when he got excited about seeing them after a hard day’s work, and he like the feelings that came with taken care of someone you were in love with.

He just had no idea why his love life always seemed to crash and burn whenever he tried to make it work. For some reason, he was romantically-challenged and didn’t know how to fix it.

VOICE

On every attempt to call, Chase kept getting Allison’s voicemail. He really wanted to talk to her, but if she was busy or screening, voicemail was better than nothing.

“Hey, Al. I know this is not that you don’t want to talk to me and more being scared of what will come of it, but we can’t just leave it like this. You’re one of the most important people in my whole world and...” a pause, “I miss you. I didn’t realise how much until I saw you again. Please just call me? This doesn’t need to be another fuck-up.”

RING

Chase still had his wedding ring. He never managed to bring himself to get rid of it. What did one do with a used wedding ring from a marriage that was now over with?

Shoved right at the back of his bottom drawer beside his bed was an old sock without a pair. He dug around for it and pulled it out. A pause, and then he tipped the ring into his palm. It was something that still held a lot of memories, good and bad. It was something he knew he could never just toss away as an afterthought.
