What a damn night.

House really just wanted to get back to his apartment so he could just be with his partner from a long day of work- but then some guy operating a crane decided to pass out from lack of sleep and caused the crane to fall and destroy a building- post office by the looks of it- not that House could care at the moment since there were multiple people in need of medical assistance right now.

But at some point he thought he heard a noise under a pile of rubble- like someone was trying to call for help by throwing something in hopes people would hear the echo. When firefighters declared it to be false House decided to just follow his gut instinct and crawl under the pile by himself without letting anyone know because that’s just House at this point.

He shown his flashlight in one hand and used his cane to feel around as he army crawled through the tight, narrow space; only to have a mini heart attack when a hand grabbed his cane.

Wait…. That hand looked familiar… And that sleeve matched his partner’s favorite sweater….

He moved the flashlight a bit and his body froze when he saw his partner’s dust covered face, their left leg trapped underneath a large piece of concrete from the rubble.

“BABY?!”
