Hello Everybody! I have always been such a huge fan of fanfictions [they should have called it fanaddiction] so I finally decided to write my first fanfiction :) . Hope you will like it. I apologize for any mistakes.
So basically this fanfic is centred around Cuddy and House. Its situated at the beggining of season 6 (after Mayfield basically) so let's admit that all Lucas/Cuddy never happened. It's important to know that in this story Cuddy has NO children so i'm sorry for all the Rachel fan. Enjoy :)
Disclaimer: I dont own House md.
Summary : DARES AND SPARKLES
'I dare you' House whispered to her, a mischievous grin spread across his face. Who would have thought that only three words would have started an endless game of manipulation, seduction and desire? House and Cuddy start a game of dares. Series of one shots based on the evolution of the challenge between the two. Start at the beginning of season 6. !HUDDY!

Chapter 1 – You can't stop our love
Cuddy was sitting in her office, her mind fixed on the last case of a patient suing the hospital because of a certain doctor. She left out a silent sight as she gently brushed away some of her hairs fallen on her cheek behind her hear. She was tired of the hospital having to cover numerous finds because of the rudeness House laid out to his patients.
As she was carried away in her thoughts, Cuddy was taken aback by House's sudden entering as he abruptly opened the doors to her office. She quickly glance at him, an already annoyed look on her face and started to focus on her paperwork once again. House took a few steps, amused by her indifference.
'I'm in love with you Lisa Cuddy'
She suddenly focused back her attention on his very surprising words
'Whaaa…tttt ?!' she blurted out confused.
'I knew that would get your attention, he said with a smirk, you could never stay indifferent to me more than ten seconds. What can I say? I'm so lovable'
Cuddy rolled her eyes at him 'Yeah that's the first word I think, when I think of you: lovable'
'So you do think of me when I'm not here' he smiled mischievously approaching her.
'That's not… It's out of the question house.. I do not think of you.. I mean I do think of you… but only in a professional way… or when I want to feel anger and frustration!' She said triumphantly, standing up and approaching him.
'This would have been such a good comeback without your apparent blushing and your confused pauses' he retorted filling the space between them and staring deep into her eyes.
She gave him an angry glare: 'Haven't you got work to do?'
'That would defy the purpose of annoying you wouldn't it?'
'You don't have a patient fine. Go do clinic hours I know you could not live without it!'
She gave him a sarcastic smile and turned around in order to sit back behind her desk. House slowly limped out of the room. Leaving the door ajar as he got one step out of the office he shouted: 'You can't fight a love like ours Lisa!!!''
Distant chuckles were heard from the nurse station as House gave Cuddy a witty grin before getting out of her office.
After an hour on clinic duty, House out of boredom, decided to skip the rest of his clinic hours for the day. As he had no current case he went back to his office. He threw his cane on the corner of the wall and curled up into his chair. He gave a quick glance behind the glass door separating his office from the differential room. Thirteen was focused on a crossroad puzzled as Foreman, sitting next to her his hand lying on her back, followed attentively her progression through the crossroad as he held a cup of coffee to his left hand. Taub was standing next to the board. As House paid more attention to the inscriptions on the white surface, he realized that Taub was currently drawing a picture of a sunset over the sea's horizon.
Over the general enthusiastic atmosphere, House relaxed in his chairs, closing his eyes. As he was starting to drift into a peaceful nap, the door of his office swung open. Wilson entered, armed crossed, an apparent smirk on his face.
'You can't fight a love like ours??!'
House gave Wilson a mischievous smile: 'No Wilson I already told you it is over between us! If I can no trust you, our relationship can't work!'
'You can't fight a love like ours?!!! Wilson repeated ignoring House's previous comment
'What can I say I have such brilliant come backs?'
'No you have such a huge ego, that's different! Seriously House it has not been a week since your return and you are already annoying Cuddy and ditching your clinic hours ? I must say I'm impressed; I would have given you at least two weeks'
'Oh sorry you didn't win the pool Wilson... consider yourself lucky I haven't started to annoy you .. Yet anyway'
'I think you just started. What are all the members of your team here? And why is Taub drawing a picture of a sunset?''
'They are working on a very important case right now its better if they are not perturbed in their hard work'
'House is that your way of saying you do not have a case and your bored ?'
'Well Jimmy you are very perceptive! What is it the sun above the sea on the board that gave me away??'
'Stop acting like a child house and start doing something.. even if it is clinic hours'
'Dealing with whining brats, annoying Wilson... such a hard choice ... I think I'm going to go with the latter though.. .'
'Get to work' sighed Wilson as he rolled his eyes
'Hey where are you going?'
'I'm going to work... But I'm not sure your familiar with the concept; so if your nice today, I will explain it to you later on..' Wilson said sarcastically as he left the room.
House awoke suddenly at the sound of a Cuddy's authoritative voice.
'House ! Wake up !'
House mumbled inaudibly and shifted in a more comfortable position in his chair but without opening his eyes.
'House wake up now!'
House lack of movements showed Cuddy that he was starting to drift off to sleep yet again. She sighed and tried desperately one last time to wake him up:
'Ok fine stay asleep but you don't know what you are missing. Wilson, some members of your teams and I are doing a strip-poker in the next room. I lost twice which means I'm actually standing in front of you shirtless…'
House opened his eyes immediately. Seeing Cuddy's apparent shirt, although it was low cut, he held a look of disappointment.
'You little minx! Has your mom never told you that lying is bad?'
'No... but she did teach me some other values such as the concept of night and day. See I learned that when the sun is up, it is when you are awake and full of energy whereas when it is all dark THAT is when you close your eyes and drift into a peaceful sleep'
'Touché!' House said as he placed his hand to his chest and got up, holding his cane in his left hand. 'Now that I'm all conscious thanks to your devious plan, to what do I owe the pleasure of your company mistress?' He wiggled his eyebrow as she gave him a frustrated glare.
'Just wanted to tell you that I meant what I said this morning. If you don't have a patient you go and do clinic duty and you...'
'I already went to the clinic today. Thanks for the visit though. Goodbye now' He cut her off as he started to walk towards his desk. Before he could take another step, she interposed herself in front of him.
'Being half an hour in the clinic isn't clinic duty! You will now spend the rest of the day in the clinic and before you ask, this isn't a negotiation; it's an order!'
House rolled his eyes and against his will, limped towards the door. Before stepping out, he glared at her.
'You know I liked you better shirtless.'
'Yeah… keep dreaming House' she gave him a sarcastic smile
'Believe me: I will' he said as he closed the door and walked towards the elevator.
'What seems to be the problem?' House asked as he walked in the exam room.
On the table sat a boy, dressed in a blue sweater and clenching on a yellow sparkly ball. Next to him, stood his mother.
'I think he has a cold. He has a sore throat, a slight fever and a loss of appetite. Yesterday he fainted during gym class. He also seems more tired than usual'
House approached the little boy and checked his lymph nodes. He looked into the boy's mouth and after a few other tests, he finally broke the silence:
'Tell me how old are you?'
'I'm eight and half' the boy responded shyly
'The months don't count. You're eight'
'How is that relevant?' the mother asked annoyed.
'Well it isn't really except for the fact that your son here, has be getting some action'
The mother glance at her son, a sentiment of shock spread across her face.
'Tell me who did you make out with to get mononucleosis?' House asked playfully
'I didn't mean to.. Girls are stupid anyway. It was Chuck. He told me that he already kissed more the ten girls on the mouth. He told me that I was too much of a coward to make out with even one girl. Then he dared to kiss more than ten girls to prove that I was not a coward. So I..'
'You little player! House exclaimed. You got to prove your manhood and got a little somethin' somethin' at the same time. Up high!' House held up his right hand to the boy.
'This is unacceptable young man! I am very so disappointed in you! You cannot simply kiss randomly gir…'
'Relax, House cut her off, it's curable. I'll leave you the prescription at the nurse station'
House got out of the room. He limped towards the nurse station.
'Got a patient with mono. Need a prescription.'
The nurse glared at him and retorted:
'If you want the prescription I need the file.'
'Damn… I forgot it in the room. Do you mind getting it for me??'
The nurse gave him an angry look and ignored his previous comment.
'People used to have more respect for cripples you know'
House walked back into the room. As he grabbed the patient's file, a sparkling object caught his attention. He saw a bright yellow ball placed on the top of the exam table. He smiled and grabbed the ball.
He leaned on the station counter as he gave the file to one of the nurse. He threw the ball high in the air and caught it in his right hand. As he continued with his little throwing and catching game he was startled by Cuddy's sudden appearance and almost let the ball fall on the ground.
'Good god woman! Do you always scare people in such ways?'
'Only the one I want to see die of a heart attack, she retorted, why aren't you with a patient and what is with the sparkles?'
'Pretty isn't it? My former patient left it behind him. I couldn't resist. His loss, he threw the ball, my gain' he said as he caught back the ball.
'House this is stealing! And from a patient! Give it to me!'
She tried to grab the ball but he held his arm up in the air. His tall figures forbad her to take the ball from him, despite her high heels.
'House I am not playing games. Give. Me. The. Ball.' she muttered angrily between her teeth.
'You didn't say please.'
Before she could retort, a nurse approached them and handed a file to House.
'Your eight year old patient just received his treatment for mononucleosis. You need to sign the file.'
House grabbed a pen. Cuddy looked at him shocked:
'He's eight! How did he ever get mononucleosis?'
'Well his friend dared him to kiss more than ten girls at school. So he randomly kissed ten of his classmates. You got to admire his determination.' House answered her question as he handed the file back to the nurse.
'All this because of a dare… What would children do nowadays.' she sighed
'I beg to differ. I think what he did rocks. Not that you could ever kiss randomly someone.'
'That is so not true. You obviously never saw me in high school, I…'
'Everybody made out with everybody back then. It was high school. No, what I'm saying is that now, at this present hour, you could never dare do what the kid did.'
'I do not have the time to listen to your inappropriate comments'
'Interesting. You are deflecting, but come on now...' He took a step towards her, invading her personal space. 'I dare you' House whispered to her, a mischievous grin spread across his face.
As he stared at her challengingly, a doctor approached Cuddy, a chart in his hand.
'Dr Cuddy, I'm sorry to disturb you but I need you to sign off on an appendix removal.'
Cuddy broke off the stare as she smiled at the doctor standing before her, as he held her the chart. She took a step towards him, grabbed his tie and crushed her lips against his. The doctor, shocked by her sudden reaction, froze in place as she started to kiss him angrily. She finally broke off her make out session, grabbed the chart off the doctor's hand and quickly signed it. She handed it back to him and gave him a wide grin:
'Here Doctor Jones. Hope you have a nice day.'
Doctor Jones just nodded his head, still flabbergasted and turned around. Cuddy then focused her attention back to House. She tried hard not to break off into laughter as House's expression was priceless. His mouth was slightly ajar as he stared at her his eyes wide opened and obviously startled by her previous actions. She ceased the moment as she quickly grabbed the yellow ball from House's hand. She gave him an amused smirk as she turned around to her office. House realized her sudden departure and snapped out of his shock state.
'Hey that's stealing! It's mine! You know I'm just going to steal it back, right??!'
Cuddy turned her head and grinned at him:
'Go on. I dare you.'
