Title: Huntington's
Prompt: #45. Oops!
Rating: G
Warnings/Spoilers: Up through season four episode five.
After House had called Thirteen 'Huntington's', Kutner had watched her carefully. He didn't buy her denial of the genetic defect. Most girls her age wouldn't think twice about dropping a file or stumbling out of an elevator.
Your average, everyday 'oops' situation was enough to put Thirteen in an irrationally bad mood.
He hadn't noticed the first time. House had, and thinking back, it did seem unusual. She had just dropped a file. It wasn't a big deal, not to him at least, he dropped stuff all the time. But he supposed it was an indication of a bigger picture to her.
It was strange to him that she wouldn't get tested. Well she may have, it's not like he had asked. But what good would not knowing do? He hated not knowing things, personally. But he had been proved, time and time again, that he was a little bit unusual.
Or maybe it was a female thing.
"What are you staring at?" someone asked from in front of him.
He blinked.
He was caught.
"Uh- nothing."
"Right."
"You're very pretty?"
"Shut up," she said, smiling despite herself. "Your pager just went off, by the way."
He looked down. "I must not have been paying attention."
She walked off and after a couple of seconds he followed.
