House came out of the bathroom on the first floor, when he saw from a distance a man at his door. It was still early and no-one really noticed the guy. House limped closer and peeked around the corner to see what the man was doing.
"Ford." House thought seethingly. Dr. Ford was changing House's name again on Examining Room 1.
A nurse saw House and looked at Ford, then back at House. When Ford left, she spoke up.
"I'm going to call this in. He can't do that, there's nothing wrong with being gay."
House smiled and looked at her name tag. "Evelyn... Thank you, but you don't have to do that."
"He should get fired for this!" she said unbelievingly.
"Yes, I know... But could you do me a favour? I have this idea..."
The two of them put their heads together and their smiles turned into something that resembled a villainous smirk.

The next day
"Hey Cathy have you heard..." Evelyn said to her friend at the reception.
"Belinda! You will not believe what Evelyn said to me!" Cathy started half an hour later.
"Yeah, I heard it from Belinda, who heard it from Evelyn. She assured me it really happened!"
"No! It didn't! It did! Who would have thought!"
"So far the plan was working." Evelyn thought and winked at House when he came in. He tried to surpress his smile.

"House!" I want to talk with you for a minute... Euh, what are you doing on this floor?" Wilson looked around to confirm that House was here on the wrong floor.
"Wilson. Shut up. Do something for me will ya?" House said. The taller man looked around and saw a herd of nurses appearing around the corner. Furiously cackling among themselves.
"Wait here and when I appear again, say to me: "What where you doing in Ford's office?" and try to sound really surprised and innocent. You should've no problem pulling the choir boy card. Alright?"
Before Wilson could react, House already dissapeared behind the corner. Wilson waited and the nurses came closer. Suddenly House reappeared. His lips looked red and swollen, his clothes in a disarray. All in all, he looked like he had just made out and he had a blush on his cheeks.
"House is blushing!" Wilson thougt and without knowing his face went slack from surprise, helping House even more with his plan. The nurses skidded to a halt and Wilson remembered what he had to do.
"What were you doing in Ford's office?" It came out with a high voice and House seemed pleased.
"Shhtt!" he answered, holding up his hand as to shush Wilson from telling his secret and he looked pointedly at the curious females.
The nurses giggled and started walking again, when they were gone Wilson turned to House.
"What was that all about, House?"
"You'll see..." he said with a face that clearly told the cat got the canary.

Ford was talking with a nurse at the reception about one of his cases when House appeared at his side.
"Hi Will." He said.
Before Ford could answer, the doctor with the cane was already gone.
The nurse was smiling widely at him and Ford could see the wheels turning in her head.
"This is not what it looks like."
"Sure, honey."

He just found a place when another doctor from the staff clapped him on the shoulder.
"I'm happy for you! Try to teach him some manners, will ya!" and the man walked on.
Ford just remained frozen. "What the hell is wrong with these people?" he thought.

It took Ford another three days to hear the new rumour about him and House.
When he heard it, his face went red from anger, then got an even deeper shade of red out of pure embarrassment, then a light greenish tint, quickly followed by turning white as a sheet from fear.
Oh God no, everyone was looking at him. Everyone believes it.
Matters got even worse when House, for the first time in weeks, came in the cafetaria and winked at him. The wink spoke of very dirty promises and it made even the more promiscious people blush.
Ford started thinking about eating in his office. Alone.

"Is it true what we heard?" Cameron asked.
"It depends. Yes, this one time I peed in the vase with flowers of a patient. But don't worry. He was in a coma and I really had to go and I didn't want to miss what they were saying on the show on tv and..."
"Not that!" Foreman said, crinkling his nose in disgust.
"About you and Ford." Chase added.
Wilson had just entered their office. "What about you and Ford?"
He looked at his friend, waiting for an answer, when House sighed.
"You jealous?"
"No!" and Wilson left without telling in the first place what he was doing there.

"For the hundredth time! I'm not gay! House is leadig you all on!" Ford yelled at Evelyn. "I hate gay people! I think it's disgusting!"
"Seems to me like you're in denial." Evelyn said.
"No! I couldn't be gay! You remember those pranks on House? Well, I did that because I wanted to get him out!"
"What pranks?" Evelyn innocently asked.
By now Ford was very agitated and trying to get people to believe him of not being gay.
"Changing his name on his door, the cane-incident, the porn..."
"Interesting." Ford suddenly heard behind him. "Ford, my office." Cuddy said and with a brisk and angry spring in her step, she walked away.
Evelyn took the phone in her hand and made the call.
"The eagle has landed, the snake's gone!"
"I'll buy you dinner." House said and put down the phone with a smile.
