[Oh... well. House had mostly been expecting her to laugh and pull back, tell him he's ridiculous. He's not going to look a hot nurse in the mouth. His eyes stay open, watching her as their lips meet and she presses forward. It's a long few seconds before he responds, waiting for this to be a joke or a trick or a hypothermia-induced hallucination. But here they are, Claire kissing him.
He raises a hand to her cheek and rises up slightly to deepen the kiss. House lets his eyes close and he loses himself for a few moments. When they break apart, she'll see some of his general wariness has fallen away. It's been replaced by something surprised and more vulnerable. House very rarely expects this kind of thing. Now that he has it, he's not sure what to do with it to avoid screwing it up.
There won't be anything between them past this moment--maybe something more physical--but he's not looking for a girlfriend. He doubts he'll even be nice to her; although, pretty girls have made him dumb in the past.]
Well, we're jumping up from a 3 stars our of 5 to a 4.
