colleagues. individuals who work together in the same organisation or profession.

chase hated you. not in the ‘in denial love’ way. he loathed your presence. it made him dread work every day.

you had both worked in the same diagnostics team with house, foreman and cameron. if you asked his opinion, he’d say he’d prefer to be locked in a room with house off vicodin for a week straight rather than willingly speak more than two words to you.

where did this come from? god knows. you just.. annoyed him to his very core, without even trying.

“you’re being arrogant. it’s not idiopathic, it can’t be.” chase interjects, sighing deeply and rubbing his forehead with his right hand. house had kept you four here for hours on end. he was adamant to get the case closed within 24 hours.

chase didn’t expect to be with you for more than his shift hours. normally, he’d just ignore you or talk when absolutely necessary. now? he was obligated to converse. it irked him.
