1More than Curiosity- Chapter 2
House, clad in jeans and an old "Queen" t-shirt, knocked obnoxiously on Cameron's front door at 6:30. Yeah, that was him, "fashionably late," as always. Leaning casually on his cane, he heard the shuffling of feet and Cameron was at the door a moment later, hiding half way behind the door and looking awkward.
"What? Are you waiting for me to say trick or treat?" House snarked, before letting himself in and tossing the blockbuster DVD on the coffee table. "There! I got the movie!" He said mock- triumphantly. He noticed the bowl of candy on the side table next to him, and popped a mini Reeses cup in his mouth before continuing,
" Are you putting it in or not? Hello! Doctor Cameron!"He waved his hand in front of her face, and she snapped out of her daze, "Oh, yeah."
"Gee, don't sound to enthusiastic."
Ignoring House's comment, she put the movie into her DVD player. "Is this the first or second one?" She asked.
"It's Saw I. I haven't seen this series yet." House responded. They both sat down on the couch, making sure to keep at least a foot of space between them. After a few minutes of watching the previews th menu screen came up, and House finally spoke again, "This movie better not be a lame "Horror Comedy" like the "Scary Movie" series or "Shaun of the Dead" he warned.
"It's not." Confirmed Cameron. Having House sitting so close to her was distracting, to say the least. She decided to act as if having him inches away from her wasn't making her happy and nervous all at once, and said, "Now shut up and watch the movie." House leaned back lazily, smirked, and for once in his life did what he was told.

House was surprised, Cameron had barely jumped at all yet, and they were already more than half way through the Movie. Her impressive bravery was ruined., however, when an extremely gory image came out of nowhere. She yelped, and jumped sideways, instinctively hiding her face into whatever was close to a pillow. Which, by the way, turned out to be House.
They both stiffened at the contact, yet neither of them attempted to pull back. Eventually they both relaxed somewhat, and House spoke, " You can look now, jumpy."
"I only jumped once!" Exclaimed Cameron defensively, removing her face from House's shoulder. He still allowed her to lean on him though, which surprised them both. 'I think I'm going soft. I knew Cameron's niceness was contagious!' House thought to himself. Cameron tried to defend herself once again. House rolled his eyes and made an exaggerated shushing sound, and they watched the rest of the movie in silence, Cameron jumping one or two more times before the end, much to House's amusement. Due to the unexplained tiredness that comes from watching a movie at night, they were both fast asleep by the time the credits rolled, even though it was only a little after nine. It looked like the poor little trick-or-treaters wouldn't be getting any candy from Cameron after all.
A/N: I know that sort of sounded like an ending to the whole story, but it's not nearly over yet folks! Stick around and review. :)
