You're smiling
Just an idea about them ... written quickly and it felt good. Hope you'll all remember that moment. Otherwise go watch the episode again !
At the end or during Humpty Dumpty.
And ... "secret-relationship".
Enjoy !
"You're smiling, what have I done?"
"You're assuming I'm smiling because of something you did? How presumptuous of you"
"That's what I want"
"Being presumptuous?"
He shrugged, eyeing her. Then she turned completely to look at him, one small box of tea in her hands.
"Why can't you just admit that you want to make me smile, make me happy?" she wondered truthfully. She couldn't recall the number of times she's asked him that sort of question. She couldn't help it, though she didn't really need an answer. "I can't believe that, even after all these years, you're still unwilling to say it out loud"
"I'm not. My feelings for you are perfectly clear, have always been" he answered in a steady voice, yet his blue eyes conveyed a deeper vulnerability.
She turned again and faced the window. House stood behind her and nuzzled her neck with his nose. She was smiling again because once more his "I love you" was expressed in his own particular way. There weren't words she was hearing very often but there were less important than his actions, gestures that have proved to her the genuine strength of his feelings for her.
"So?"
She half-laughed, amused by his perseverance. She leaned a little against his chest, waiting for the water to boil. One of his hands found its way under the white t-shirt she was wearing.
"I was thinking about something you did …"
"Ha!"
"Shut up or I'm not telling you" she said chuckling.
"My mouth is shut" he answered quickly "for now"
"We were in Alfredo's room and ha … you just hold the door and let me pass. I don't think you even noticed"
"Really?" House grinned into her hairs "you're such a romantic"
"Not my fault if you got me used to it" she shot back "gimme my cup"
"My hands are busy" he growled, caressing her skin under his t-shirt.
Not really wanting him to stop, Cuddy caught it by herself and poured the boiling water into it. With a quick kiss on his thin lips, she padded toward the living room. He followed silently then dropped on the couch beside her, his cane on the floor.
"For the record, I noticed"
Cuddy bit her lips but said nothing.
