2 - Greed
House's eyes were carefully inspecting the images on the screen in front of him as he grabbed a handful of popcorn from the bowl and brought it to his mouth. Cuddy entered the room at that moment, looking at him skeptically, before moving to sit down next to him.
"What are you watching?" She asked as she sat down and rested her cheek on his shoulder.
House didn't take his eyes off the television. She reached across to grab a handful of his popcorn, but he moved the bowl out of her reach.
"That's mine."
House brought the popcorn back to his lap and took a sip of his beer. Cuddy looked amused and reached out again towards the much coveted bowl. But, once again, House took the popcorn away from the cunning thief.
"I said it's MINE!"
The Diagnostician kept staring at the screen, where a couple of doctors were kissing in an operating room.
"This show is meaningless and has no moral values"
"That's the only reason I watch shows like this."
Keeping her eyes on the screen, Cuddy slowly stretched her hand towards the popcorn and once again failed in her attempted theft. This time House looked into her eyes.
"If you like popcorn that much, there's more in the pantry."
Cuddy smiled sweetly. "I only want a handful."
"No. This is MINE!"
The Dean snorted angrily, as she tried in vain to reach out to get popcorn.
"You're acting like a child. Give me some popcorn"
"No."
House moved away the popcorn even further away until the bowl was tilted so much that a few pieces fell to the ground.
"House!"
"Cuddy!"
"I only want a handful of popcorn and then I'll leave you alone."
"I said no. It's MINE and I'm not sharing it."
Cuddy leaned closer to him and smiled maliciously. She kissed him gently on the lips for a few seconds, before sliding her tongue over his lips in a breath-stealing kiss. With one hand stroking his chest as the other ventured lower, pausing on the longed-for goal. Cuddy took a handful of popcorn and got up from the couch, smiling triumphantly.
"Good. In that case - in that room is my bed and I won't share it with you tonight. You can sleep on the couch."
House looked at her in amazement as she walked quietly into the bedroom eating her trophy. He smiled and continued watching TV certain that if he followed her she would mock him for it all weekend.
