"Hey, Kutner wait up!"
It had been a long day and Kutner was planning on getting a lot of good sleep once he got back home, honestly, so being stopped two steps from the elevator never really thrilled him.
"What's up?" he said as Thirteen followed him inside the elevator.
"I don't know. I figured we should talk."
There was a bit of unspoken understanding to that statement. He nodded as the elevator started moving downward.
"So talk?" he said.
"We can start with something simple. I can't believe you haven't asked but…"
Kutner had a hunch about what she was about to say, and smiled to himself.
"My name. You don't know it. Which seems ridiculous-"
"I've slept with plenty of people and not known their names," he joked.
"Shut up. Can I just tell you?"
"Sure, you're the one drawing it out."
"It's-"
The doors to the elevator opened and House stumped in, humming a tune.
They both fell silent.
"I didn't interrupt some kind of love fest did I?"
"No," Thirteen said quickly.
House was under the impression that he had.
They got off the elevator and started towards the parking lot, once they were out of earshot of any hospital workers.
"Sorry. I'm just not really into shouting out my name in front of other people."
"It's fine."
"Well, as we were saying before, it's-"
There was a huge crash across the street as a pickup truck and a smaller sedan collided at an intersection.
"Oh shit," Kutner said.
They ran across the street to see what they could do at the scene.
Once the victims of the crash were taken to the ER, they got back to their cars.
"So-" she started.
"Don't worry about it. We don't need to cause another car crash. Maybe I'm not supposed to know right now," Kutner said, shaking his head.
She smiled a little, though she felt a bit defeated.
