Title: Rhabdophobia
Pairing: Cuddy/Cameron
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: House, M.D. is not mine.
Cuddy knew you didn't get anywhere in the medical business unless your skin was as thick as a lemon rind. (Excellent insurance helped, too.)
*
Cameron knew you didn't get anywhere in life unless you had as many layers as an onion. (Wearing her heart on her sleeve didn't help, though.)
*
Cuddy knew she had a lot to lose if she pursed a relationship with a coworker, no matter how beautiful the skin beneath her ear was nor how quickly she flushed when indignant. (Her credibility, among other things.)
*
Cameron knew she had a lot to lose if she pursued a relationship with the dean of medicine, no matter how beautiful her hair was nor how tiredly she smiled. (Her credibility, among other things.)
*
Cuddy didn't always have a thick skin, and her insurance certainly didn't cover the embarrassment of cursing after accidently spilling her drink on her dress at the hospital's New Year's party only to look up and see Cameron staring back at her. (She had never felt so self-conscious.)
*
Cameron saw Cuddy spill her drink and suddenly she no longer cared about everything she had to lose. (She had never felt so free.)
*
Cuddy never saw the kiss coming, but she allowed Cameron to press her against the wall and slide a hand down her exposed back. (It was exhilarating.)
*
For once, the fear of consequences were driven from their minds, and they allowed themselves to be free to be foolish and in love. (It was exhilarating.)
