blue_frizzanteI just saw the second promo for season 5 of House and for the first time I had a muse to write a House/Cuddy fic that actually worked out!
So here it is, WARNING: contains speculation from promo and speculation from possible spoilers!
I'd love to hear what you think of my writing style and any criticism at all would be great because I just want to get better at writing :).
Mind If I Come In?
Disclaimer: I do not own House MD nor the characters.
Summary: This is a short drabble I thought up based off of 2 lines from the season 5 promo. House/Cuddy
“Mind if I come in?” her voice hinted anxiety.
“Mind if I leave?” he feigned leaving, using sarcasm to cover up his nervousness.
She sighed. Of course he would act as if nothing had happened. She wasn’t going to let it go though. “House, I’m…..” She wanted to tell him how worried about him she was, but that just sounded too cliché for now. She bit her bottom lip, accentuating her loss for words by nervously playing with her hands.
His demeanor changed and he offered, “Come on,” before turning around and walking towards his kitchen.
She stepped into his apartment and closed the door behind her. He was already in the kitchen, walking towards his refrigerator. She followed him and leaned against the counter.
“Are you thirsty?” he asked as he opened the fridge. She wasn’t, but she needed any reason to stay longer.
“Water’s fine,” she answered. He poured a glass of water for her and brought it over to the counter and set it next to a glass that he had presumably poured for himself earlier.
“Thank you” she gave a weak smile and picked up her drink. “Are you really okay?” she took a sip of water.
He sighed and sat down on a stool, trying to avoid her gaze. “I’m fine”. His tone was unconvincing and resigned; there was no finality to it at all.
“You know I’m here for you”. She set her water down and sat on a stool next to him, hands in her lap and body turned toward him. He let his shoulders droop and his body relaxed. She put her left hand on his shoulder and felt him tense up again. “I mean it.”
He turned his head to his right and she leaned in and kissed him. He didn’t pull back; instead he deepened the kiss. He reached his hand up to her shoulder, but it was she who teared away first.
His hand dropped, and she rose from the stool. “Thank you for the water, House.” She said before she turned around and walked toward his door.
He stayed seated at his counter, his mind racing.

I'm curious as to what you all believed to be the incident to which Cuddy refers to and wants to know if House is alright. I wrote it with the intention that possibly House's mother died and Cuddy comes to check up to see how he is dealing with it, but I guess it could be interpreted differently.
