They were very cosy all through the movie, snuggled together in each others arms. Cameron made frequent excuses to retrieve beers and go to the bathroom whenever it seemed House was growing increasingly uncomfortable with their current positioning, mostly she'd return to find him in a different position with his hand resting slightly gingerly on his thigh. She didn't mention it... instead she kept making excuses to leave unsure what was allowed in this new evolved relationship and crawled up against him and rested her head on his shoulder. These excuses also got her a little tipsy and she was drinking her forth or fifth beer as the credits began to roll and the blaring soundtrack filled the room.

She stretched against him, her breasts pressing out, her ass pressing to his hip and her whole body arching allowing his hand to slip inconspicuously against her hip and stomach before sliding up her ribs slightly. The ticklish feeling caused her to shudder and curl forwards giggling slightly.

He chuckled softly against her and pressed his nose to her hair as he clicked off the entertainment system casting them into darkness.

"Is that bedtime I take it?" Cameron asked softly covering his hand with hers.

"I figured I'd better get you to bed early or else you won't be up in time to sort my mail."

"It's nearly midnight... it's hardly early."

"Special occasion." He mumbled exhaustedly.

"I think you're the one who needs to rest." She said softly turning her head to press her lips to his. "Come on off to bed with you." She said standing and holding her hand out for him.

"And I wonder how long you've dreamt of saying that to me." He said standing and taking her hand to follow her down the hall.

"Too long perhaps." She whispered.

"I've got a spare toothbrush somewhere I think." He said with a slight frown as if trying to remember where he put the half used pack as he drew her into the bathroom and began rooting through the cupboard beneath the sink. "Aha! Here... you can have the girly pink one." he said fishing it from the packaging and handing it to her.

"Thanks." She said with a smirk.

They brushed their teeth standing side by side almost fighting for sink space and constantly flirting in the mirror as their eyes met again and again. As soon as they were both done House turned and pressed his lips to hers instantly demanding entrance then exploring her thoroughly as she opened to him. Though she couldn't taste him the insistent touch of him and the feel of his gently roaming hands was enough to make her shiver and flush in his arms.

"Colgate Kiss." House murmured as he finally pulled back, his eyes lazy with exhaustion and a hint of lust.

"Are you going to do that every time we're done brushing our teeth?" She asked as he plucked her toothbrush from her hands and set it with a gentle air of accomplishment next to his.

"I'm contemplating it." He said with a grin as he turned back to her and brushing his lips against hers once more.

"So I should wake you up at 6 then?" She asked with a grin.

"Yeah, actually. That would be great. "He said with a slight frown, it would work well he thought as he pondered on the morning. He could wake at 6 and take a couple of Vicodin which would mean the rest of his sleep would be pain free and his leg wouldn't require a blistering hot shower or an 10 minute massage just to gain some semblance of normality.

"Sure?"

"Yeah... don't expect anything though I'll be going straight back to sleep after you kiss me." He said with a grin.

"I sounds so tempting." She said rolling her eyes and leading him out of the bathroom to bed as she attempted to stifle a yawn.

"Oh you know you want it." He said with a grin. "I'm giving you permission to wake me just for the simple reason of a goodbye kiss."

"Fine! Okay I'll wake you... but I want two kisses." She said separating from him and moving to the left side of the bed and switching on the light before crawling in. She stopped as she realised what she'd done. "Is this side okay?" She said watching as he hung his cane on end of the bed and pulled off his shirt.

"That side's no different from that one." he said pointing from one side to the other.

She watched enthralled, his chest rippling softly as his arms moved.

House grinned slightly and flexed his biceps slightly. "Like what you see?"

She gulped and lifted her eyes to his and nodded gently. "I liked you before you took your shirt off too."

He smirked. "God help you when you see me completely naked."

Her eyes flashed. "B-but..." She stammered slightly nervously.

"Don't worry I won't tempt you tonight as much as I like sleeping naked." He said undoing his belt buckle and sitting on the edge of the bed to kick off his jeans from around his ankles and slip off his socks.

She watched his back move in the gentle light and marvelled at the strength of him, her eyes were instinctively drawn to his right shoulder knowing it would be strong from carrying half his weight everyday and yet his left didn't seem disproportionate.

"Do you work out?" She said gently her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Are you trying to pick me up?" He asked sliding beneath the covers and rolling towards her leaning on his left side with his elbow bent so he could look down at her. "Because you've got nothing to worry about in that department you've already made it to my bed."

"No I meant... your shoulders." She said her fingers smoothing over his skin. "They're the same size."

"Physio department's empty at night. Once a week, sometimes twice." He admitted quietly, a trail of goose bumps spreading over his skin in the wake of her touch. "I had to bulk up a little after lying in a bed for so long before I could use a cane instead of a wheelchair, when my leg gave up I didn't and I worked on my arms instead."

"Does your shoulder hurt much?"

"Sometimes."

She shifted closer to him and lifted her body slightly.

Her eyes met his; not really asking for permission but wanting to show him what she was thinking, to show him what she was feeling as she turned back to his shoulder and closed her eyes before kissing his shoulder oh so gently.

House rolled his head down as she began to kiss along his collar bone and up his neck with such slow soft touches.

"Physio hasn't got a damn thing on you." he whispered as he slid his arm around her carefully.

She smiled against his skin. "I doubt it." She whispered some where near his ear as her hand smoothed down to his boxer clad hip just above his half thigh.

He tensed beneath her touch, his hand stilling on her stomach.

She moved her hand to cup his cheek as she kissed him softly. "It's okay." she mumbled.

House rested his forehead against hers and sighed softly. "I... I like you, Allison."

Cameron grinned. "I like you too; Greg and I think we should get some sleep."

He reached over and switched off the light before kissing her softly and then spooning her to his long, strong frame, his arm tight around her waist.

"Greg." She whispered her arm covering his as it flexed against her stomach beneath her shirt. "I'm not going anywhere."

His hold loosened slightly and he pressed his half thigh between the warmth of hers as he nuzzled her neck slightly and sighed before finding sleep easier than he had done with any other bed partner.

Cameron wasn't far behind him, sleeping in an foreign bed would normally take her hours to adjust to but the scent of it was so familiar to her and the arms around her so warm and comforting to her that she was relaxed almost instantaneously and slumber crept over her swiftly.
