The perfect cure
Cuddy turned around and accidentally whacked House in the face. She hit his lip and made it bleed; he swore and raised his hand to his mouth. Cuddy grabbed a tissue and wet it. She dabbed it on his lip and cradled his face. He stared into her eyes and she moved a little closer without realising it.
"Does it hurt?" She whispered so softly that he wondered if she had even spoken.
Without answering, House closed his eyes and leaned forward. His lips made contact with hers so gently. They broke apart and she smiled,
"Is it better now?"
