Title: Chorophobia
Pairing: Cuddy/Cameron
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: House, M.D. is not mine.
Cameron is afraid of dancing. She's afraid of walking onto the dance floor, with everyone watching; afraid of closing her eyes and forgetting where she is, who she is; afraid of dancing like she's all alone, except for the empty night sprinkled with stars and the music laughing in her head.
But Cameron promises herself that she will dance for Cuddy, so Cameron finds herself walking onto the dance floor even though her heart is collapsing inside her chest; finds herself unwilling to close her eyes on Cuddy's glowing face; finds she's dancing like she's all alone, except she's not because Cuddy is there, with her hands on her hips.
And Cameron's heart may be collapsing in her chest, but she's too busy dancing to notice.
