Do You Trust Me? Chapter One
"Test this for glucose and cholesterol." said House, dropping the vial of blood off at the nursing station in the clinic. His patient had only had a blister, but he didn't need anyone to know that. As he headed back upstairs, he got to thinking.
Thinking was not one of his good friends recently. Whenever he started thinking, he started questioning his decision, working it over in his head with pros and cons at every chance he got. It was frustrating, simply because he knew his decision was the right one and as soon as he was cleared to, he was going to act and his conscious couldn't be in the way. He couldn't mess this up.
He went to badger the ducklings, which made him not think for a while. But when they went off to run tests, he was left alone with his doubtful subconscious. He was sure it hated him. He wanted to do this. He wanted to stick with his decision. He knew he'd be happy. He knew it was right.
But the rest of the crew was worried. Wilson saw House changing right before his eyes. He would always drift off into thought and stare, then realize what he was doing and shake his head, get up, and walk away mumbling. Wilson had never really seen House like this unless they were working on a really hard, life-threatening case, which this wasn't. But he knew better then to confront him, he needed to work it out in his mind on his own and he'd fill him in when it was done.
Later that afternoon, the blood work was returned to House and the glucose and cholesterol levels were perfect. This troubled him even more. What it a sign that he should just do it? Or a sign he shouldn't?
Almost on cue, the doubts started flowing through his head. The pros and cons list drifted back in and consequences started running through his mind. He snapped out of his thoughts when the ducklings walked in.
"You were right. Tumor in his left lung. He's scheduled for surgery this afternoon."
He mumbled back incoherently, and grabbed his ball. As he threw it against the wall, the ducklings looked at each other and shuffled into the conference room.
"Something's up." said Cameron, sitting down.
"You're telling me. He hasn't made fun of me in days!" said Chase, getting coffee.
"He's just House. He gets in random moods. It'll blow over in a few days. You know him." said Foreman, looking over some paperwork.
"I think we should talk to Wilson about it." said Cameron.
As if on cue, Wilson walked by the room and beckoned them out. They headed soundlessly toward his office and once safely inside, Wilson sighed.
"What's going on with him?" he said, looking hopefully at the team.
"We were going to ask you." said Cameron with a sigh.
"He hasn't made any British jokes in over a week! He mopes around all day." said Chase, leaning against the filing cabinet.
"It'll blow over soon enough. Just leave him. I'm going to the clinic." said Foreman, and he left.
"We'll wait a few more days. If he doesn't change or say anything to any of us by then, we'll talk to him."
Meanwhile…
He was going to do it. Right now. No more doubts. He had to just go. Man up and face it. Right here. Right now.
He was parked outside Lisa Cuddy's house at 9:00 PM. He stared up at the house where he could see Lisa sitting in her living room in front of the fire. He always told her the whole world could see in her front windows, but she always ignored him. "Focus Greg. This is it." He opened the door and got out and walked to her door.
He took a deep breath and knocked, listening to her slippers pad across her hardwood floors. She unlocked and opened the door.
He stepped up and kissed her. No words. He just kissed her. She kissed him back, despite her shock, and kicked the door shut. They stood kissing by the door until Cuddy whispered "House, what-"
"Shhhhhhhhh." said House back, kissing her again. Slowly, they walked to her bedroom and fell onto her bed. Between kisses, she whispered, "House, the fertility meds. Are you-". He cut her off and stopped to look at her. "I know. Do you trust me?" He smiled at her mischievously, as she nodded back and grinned.
And they went on their merry business.
