Taking her to the monster truck rally was a mistake. If I’d known, I would have asked anyone else...hell, I would have asked Cuddy first. Taking Cameron sent her the exact wrong message.

No, Cameron, I don’t like you. I don’t like your naivete, your optimism, your firm belief that if you hug me enough, I’ll turn into a fluffy Newfoundland puppy. I’m a cranky old curmudgeon and I like it that way. And now you’re being all noble and quitting and your hand hangs there between us like some horrible metaphor for the good manners I don’t have and never will. I hold myself aloof, steel myself against the hurt in your eyes, and watch you walk out of my life.

I don’t like you, Cameron. But I might have loved you. And the God neither of us believes in help us both if you ever found out.

Exactly the thoughts that House was having when Cameron quit. You just know by the look in his eyes that yes, he does have feelings for her. Good drabble, and a half.

Hopefully, we'll get some insight as to why the only person in the world he seems to let in anymore is Wilson, before the season ends. He strikes me as someone who's been wounded very deeply, and he keeps a prickly shell around himself in order to keep from getting hurt again...

I don't know whether to say, "Aww, House," or, "Dammit, House!" I'm so torn. Heh. Newfoundland puppy.

lol That was the woobiest breed I could think of.

Wilson's getting some good digs in tonight...
