Allison stretched her long frame under the warm covers. It was customary for her to wake up before her alarm most days, ready for her morning run before work. She quietly slipped out of bed to get her running gear on and once she was ready to leave, she smirked.

"Rob, babe, do you want to work up a sweat with me?" She whispered, knowing she wouldn't have to speak loud for her boyfriend to react. Chase's eyes flew open, in what appeared as alarm at first, but once he saw his girlfriend dressed to run, he smiled.

"Very funny Al." He rasped. "Just let me get dressed and I'll join you."

As soon as Cameron's sneakers hit the pavement outside, she took off like a shot. Chase was surprised that her run started off so aggressively, but he easily fell into step beside her.

"So," Chase mused. "This is a different way to get our blood pumping, huh Al?" She looked at him, her gaze playful.

"Uh huh." Cameron answered absentmindedly as she was focusing on her breathing. She sped up, pulling ahead for a few minutes, trying to make their run a game.

"Hey! Wait up!" Chase yelled. He knew his girlfriend was fit, but he never knew this was the reason. He fell into step beside her, panting quite hard. Allison chuckled.

"Struggling babe?" She teased light heartedly. Chase rolled his eyes.

"My runs are never this fast or outside for that matter." He spoke, still smiling so his girlfriend knew he was only teasing back. Her laugh in response was a melody to his ears, she sounded so carefree and in love with life. This is what he wanted for her, he thought wistfully. Chase checked his watch and realized they only had an hour before work. He looked over at Cameron, who didn't look like she was breaking a sweat at all. "Hey babe, we should head back now. We only have an hour before we have to be at the hospital." Chase suggested. Allison nodded.

"Race ya!" She called and somehow sped up even faster, leaving Chase to trail after her. He really should have expected that from her. She loved to tease him and play games after all. They reached his apartment quickly, both occupants shedding their sticky clothes as fast as humanly possible. "Ugh." Allison groaned. "I feel disgusting." Rob smiled, shaking his head in response.

"You look amazing." He grinned wider at her blush. "Want to join me in the shower?" He added. She grinned from ear to ear.

"I'd love to." She was still smiling like an idiot when they entered the bathroom together and started the water. They climbed in together once the water was warm enough and Chase couldn't stop staring at her.

"God, you're beautiful." He smirked at her. Cameron blushed again as she thanked him and that was quickly becoming Chase's favourite thing, watching the blood pool in her cheeks like that. "Since I don't have time to love you properly, this will have to do." His statement was confident as he started rubbing his soapy hands into her hair, massaging her scalp. Allison moaned at the feeling of his fingers in her hair and let out a puff of air when she realized she was getting worked up. Chase leaned his head against her wet shoulder and groaned. "You're killing me Al." Cameron's eyes widened in realization.

"Sorry." She whispered. "If it makes you feel better, me too." He smirked at his girlfriend when he realized she meant her own noises were working her up. It was at that point that they each took over washing their own bodies so they could get to work on time.

The duo raced into House's office twenty minutes late. House turned around when he heard the door open and upon seeing Cameron's uncharacteristically wet hair in a bun and Chase's locks not gelled, he smirked. "Did you shower together?" He asked knowingly.

"No. There was an accident on the way here, traffic was horrible." Chase offered, glancing at Cameron with a small smile. She had agreed to date him, but no one at work knew and he wasn't sure if that's the way she wanted it. They took their seats and listened as House listed off symptoms for them to diagnose as one condition. Foreman looked over at Cameron with one raised eyebrow before looking back at the white board in the room. What he saw immediately got his brain working. Fatigue, trouble sleeping, headaches, muscle soreness and seizures. Enough of them to cause serious brain problems and vision difficulties.
