Story Title: Medical Mysteries

Disclaimer: I own nothing. Well…I own my computer. And my car. And all three seasons of House, both seasons of Bones, and the entirety of the MASH seasons. But the rights to House? Not mine. Really. Honest.
AN: This is more of a…fun… piece little drabble. Out of character and such. I just loved it, and it didn't fit in with T of D. Cameron has her own office…etc. Just one question for ya'll…What is the definition of a drabble again?

"Differential diagnosis."
Cameron glanced up to see House leaning against her office door. She shot him a confused look which encouraged him to continue.
"Older than dirt doctor, who is a complete bastard I might add, starts experiencing strange chest pains every time he comes in contact with a beautiful young woman."
"I see." She said, putting down her work and humoring him. "Is it every young woman or a specific one?"
"There is only one woman that this happenstance occurs. Although he does experience random flashbacks to his infancy whenever he encounters a different woman who seems to be the devil incarnate."
"Well, it seems to be a classic case of 'fallen in love' syndrome, though the last symptom doesn't exactly fit."
"I was thinking it could be something wrong with the heart, say palpitations or a heart murmur, perhaps even the warning signs of an attack."
"You should order an echo then. That will diagnose the problem right away."
House scrunched up his face into his classic 'I'm about to disagree with you' face. "Mmmm….not going to happen. The patient won't allow any tests."
"That poses a problem. Well, I'll just have to assume he's in love with the woman with whom this occurs."
"And the flashes of infancy?"
"Simple. His female boss is stalking him."
"I knew she was stalking me!" He let out a theatrical gasp, his hand over his heart. "Dr. Cameron, the patient is experiencing the heart irregularities again. What do you suggest he do?"
"Now this is something of a medical mystery." She stood up and moved around to stand in front of House. "But I think I can come up with something."
"Do tell."
"Mm, I'd rather show you." She smirked and pressed her lips to his. She felt him smile against her mouth and she found herself pulled flush against the hard body in front of her.
"House!" Cuddy's loud voice broke through their make-out session, cutting it short.
"Damn." He muttered, pulling away from Cameron and giving her a smirk. "Goo."
She pressed a hand to her mouth and giggled, quickly turning back to her desk to hide her grin.
House wrinkled his nose and pushed past Cuddy. "I'm on my way to the clinic now, Boss."
"How'd he know…?" Cuddy found herself pointing to air as House disappeared. "Dr. Cameron…?"
"Yes, Dr. Cuddy?"
"Were you two just…?"
"Yes we were." Her tone told Cuddy that there was nothing she could say or do to dissuade the younger doctor from her choice.
"Congratulations."
"Thank you."
