I'm just a little unwell [Buffy & House] Crazy House FTW

Oct 13, 2009 11:14

They kept her tied down most of the time but today she'd been good. She'd taken her medicine, she hadn't attacked any of the orderlies and she'd talked to the shrink. As a result, they'd taken her restraints off and let her have a little bit of freedom. She stayed in her room anyway. It hurt when she tried to interact with everyone else. It ( Read more... )

Buffy didn't know how long she'd been here. She'd spent the first several weeks drugged within an inch of her life. Every time they took her off the drugs, she broke someone--arms, legs, collarbones, concussion--you name it she'd caused it in the orderlies. It took them several more weeks after she'd stopped fighting for anyone to come around her and even now, they drew straws to decide who would be her orderly for the day ( ... )

Oh! Look! House being House gets him rewarded with a look that is 100% GTFO Buffy. It softens into a slight smile after a moment.

"I should have known I'd have to go to an insane asylum to find a guy that understood the attraction of Daddy issues."

He couldn't help it; her bitchy look prompted him to laugh. She was still Buffy after all.

"You didn't. Remember, you came into my clinic and found me? Looks like there's memories in there these assholes did knock loose." House went back momentarily to scowling before grinning almost lasciviously. "Of course, I'm sure I can fill it up with new and improved ones."

His laugh made her feel more like herself and if she remembered correctly, it was hard to get a laugh out of House. His words made her face scrunch up and for a minute she looked like someone had kicked her puppy.

"They'll probably come back though...right?" she asked him. "Not that I don't expect the new and improved ones too."

This time, house pulled Buffy into a hug, kissing the top of her head. He was telling her that yes, they were going to come back. Probably all on her own what with those handy supernatural powers she had.

"You'll be okay. I promise."

Okay. She was happy here. This was good, which was why she slipped her arms around his waist and leaned against him, her cheek on his chest. House was tall. She liked that about him.

"Princeton, right? Can I just go back there with you?"

Her mood improvement was a good sign. House rubbed her back lightly, and enjoyed the smell of her hair, still smelling a little like vanilla somehow.

"Only if you promise to make Wilson's life impossible, cause I live with him now," he replied. "I'll even let you pick what we watch for awhile."

He checked his watch, counting down toward the near couple of hours left before lights out would happen and organizing the general workings of his distraction plan. A couple of paranoids with alien and government delusions would be a good start, and House was sure he saw a kicker in the mix as well. A little stirring and he'd have the aids' hands so full they wouldn't catch up to Buffy until she was out of the parking lot.

House stepped back from her, tucking a piece of hair away behind her ear. "I gotta go be a manipulative bastard now. Give me an hour, and then bust your finely toned ass out of here."

"Like taking magic candy from a high school principal," Buffy assured him regarding Wilson. "Whooohooo, bad ice skating movie marathon, here we come." She wasn't sure House actually knew that about her. That she could ice skate or that she enjoyed the bad ice skating movies with a passion that could not be denied. They'd mostly stuck to kung fu movies and horror movies; things she could bitch about.

When he stepped back, she looked up at him and nodded. "Like Sean Connory. Only less old man but still sexy. Me not you because I'm doing the busting out. Only he had--you get my point. Go be a manipulative bastard and by the way, I don't know if I've ever told you this--and I probably won't again--it's sexy when you do that."

"You're gonna regret telling me later," he assured her before stepping away toward the door. "But remember that you did. Don't let them take away what makes you who you are. You know, the bitchy parts."

With that, he hobbled as gracefully as he could out and down the hallway to cause some havok.
