Summary
“How’s the kid’s treatment going,” House asks, pretend-light and clearly uncomfortable. Chase can feel his voice rumbling against his chest. “Are you crying?”
The words get stuck in his throat. He opens his mouth and catches the tail end of a whine between his teeth. House startles at the noise.
“Should we be worried about you killing another kid?” House makes a humming noise. “Probably cheaper to take you off rotation for a month than deal with another lawsuit. Cuddy will agree.”
“Screw you." He tries to put some steel into it, but his voice sounds pathetic.
“Sucking up only gets you far if the suckee is alive, you know.”
“God, you’re an asshole.”
“Another quarter for the blasphemy jar.” House isn’t pushing Chase away, some hidden background process in the back of his brain pipes up. His hands are still hanging limp by his sides, and it’s like hugging a piece of dry driftwood, but Chase can’t let go. “You’re doing a lot of crying over an asshole. You’ll put Cameron out of a job.” He turns his head at the end of the sentence and his warm breath tickles the shell of Chase’s ear.

Summary
ISO: Carer to look after my father for 8 weeks this summer.
Dad is 71, early stage Parkinson’s disease, broke his hip 6 weeks ago. No signs of cognitive decline; mostly needs help with household tasks (cooking, light cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping), getting dressed, showering, changing cat litter/general cat care, getting to and from appointments.
Please know what you are getting into; Dad is physically more or less in good health but awful at accepting his limitations, unnecessarily mean, generally uncooperative, and largely nocturnal. Imagine yourself caring for a feral raccoon that is convinced it’s going to write another book, then subtract everything that is cute about raccoons.
$20/hour, roughly 4 hours a day. Must be able to pass a background check and lift 50 lbs. Patience of a saint not required but preferred.- Language:

Summary
“Fine," Light says. "I suppose I have a deadline, too?”
Ryuk’s feathers flutter. “Sure do! And it’s later than it was supposed to be, thanks to me. You’re welcome, by the way.”
Light knows better than to thank Ryuk. “When is the deadline?”
“It was supposed to be now, actually. But I made a little gamble of my own, and now you’ve got until the end of the week.”
“Ryuk,” Light says. “It is Wednesday night.”

Summary
“How’d it go?”
Amamiya wasn’t allowed in during shooting, of course. Akechi had told him he didn’t need to wait outside, but he had anyways. Standing like this, in a thin alley between cement and brick, in a pocket away from the propriety of TV sets and dressing rooms, Amamiya looks like a secret stowed away especially for him.
“You didn’t watch it for yourself?” He asks.
Amamiya shakes his head no. His eyes flick upwards, and his relaxed lean against the wall means Akechi can’t tell if he’s sizing him up or checking him out. Then, entirely too genuine by comparison, Amamiya just says, “I prefer seeing you like this.”
Akechi’s first thought is that he’s definitely in love.
His second thought is that he needs to kill Amamiya.
The third is that if things don’t change, he might need to kill himself, too.
The only thing more embarrassing than killing the first and only friend you've ever made is getting a crush on him. Akechi is handling that humiliation about as well as one can expect.
