A/N: Just a short, funny story that I wrote. Thanks to Mucleber for the inspiration, lol. We come up with some strange things. This is just going to be a 2 chapter story, by the way.
Cameron walked into the house and set her purse down. 'That's odd,' she thought when she noticed that the lights were all off, with exception of the dining room chandelier, which was very dim at the moment. She walked through the living room to find Chase sitting at the table under the faint light. A bowl of cheerios was in the middle of the table.
"What's going on?" she asked with a smile. He was definitely up to something.
"I'm glad you're here," Chase said sincerely.
"Uh…me too?" Cameron phrased this as a question, not quite knowing why he seemed so glad. She leaned over to kiss him hello.
Chase smiled and got off his chair, taking her hands in his as he got closer. "Cameron, I know you've had a long week, but I've got to ask you something."
Chase got down on one knee and looked up at Cameron. She felt a knot develop in her stomach, she knew this was coming; they had been dating for over a year, they both knew they were perfect for each other.
"Allison, I love you, I know you just got home but…" Chase started, his empty stomach rumbling. "Will you… will you please go to the store for me?"
Cameron's face fell in disbelief. "What!" she nearly screamed.
"I really need some milk, I'm starving," Chase whined. He'd forgotten to eat breakfast and had missed their lunch date when House called them into work. Cheerios were just no good without milk.
"Are you KIDDING me?" Cameron yelled and turned on her heel and walked out of the room.
'Great,' Chase thought. 'Now I'm going to have to eat the cheerios dry. Damn.'
The next day Chase woke up with a sore back and was reminded that he had fallen asleep on the couch, not voluntarily. He got up and wandered into the bedroom. She wasn't there.
He found a vague note on the kitchen counter. 'Went to work early,' it said. He knew Cameron was pissed; they usually ate breakfast together then rode into work together, except when she was mad at him. It was her silent, but not subtle way of telling him that she was angry.
Chase got ready and did not particularly enjoy his lonely ride into work, plus he felt crappy from what he did last night. He hadn't realized at the time that she thought he was proposing. 'Getting down on one knee probably wasn't the smartest thing to do,' Chase thought stupidly.
Chase walked into the meeting room and saw that House and Foreman were already there.
"Where's Allison?" he asked.
Foreman tried to suppress a laugh while House just smirked at him. "She had to go run some tests," House finally told him.
"Okay…" Chase replied, walking towards the table, not really knowing why they were both acting so weirdly.
He sat down and was not amused by the little gift that one of his co-workers had left at his seat. A half-pint of milk was placed on top of a few of his files. Cameron had obviously told them about last night.
Foreman finally stopped trying not to laugh. "You really are stupid," he told Chase.
They all fell silent as Cameron walked into the room, a smile still evident on House and Foreman's lips. She stared coldly at Chase, noting the milk in front of him.
"Funny," she said sarcastically. She glared at Foreman for a moment. She had told him what had happened last night when she came in, but didn't expect him to pull something like that. Come to think of it, she should have expected as much. "You really think this is funny?" She directed this to Chase, who actually was the only one not grinning.
"Me? No! Look…" Chase started to apologize.
"No, Robert, you listen. You get down on your knee, take my hands, and ask me for MILK!?" she said incredulously.
Chase started to defend himself, but House stopped him. "What is wrong with you Cameron?! Couldn't you have just gotten the man some milk?"
"I'm not even going to dignify that with a response!" she told House.
Eventually they finished the meeting and all left the room. As House passed Chase on the way out he whispered "Got milk?"
Chase was never going to live this down.
