This is my first crack at a House story. Short chapter to start, to test the water. Obviously, I own nothing.
"My parents have a better sex life than I do." Park casually commented as she stood in the silent elevator with Chase. "It's really sad, but true."
Chase just stared at the small woman beside him in confusion. He thought he should be used to her random, sometimes very awkward comments, but this one was out there, even for Park.
"I don't know what to say to that." he replied.
"I went to pick up Popo from her water aerobics class and we walked in the front door and found them..."
"Please, stop." Chase begged her, not wanting the image of her parents to be burned into his mind. "I don't need to hear anymore."
"Did you ever walk in on your parents?" she asked. "It's really weird at my house now."
"I'm so happy to say that I've never been in that position." he sighed in relief. "It's good though, that your parents are still into one another."
"Yeah, that's true." she agreed as the doors of the elevator opened to the ground floor of the hospital and they stepped out. "But, I wish they'd keep it in the bedroom."
"So do I." Chase nodded as they stopped at the nurse's station to get some charts for patients waiting in the clinic. "That way I wouldn't have to hear you talk about this."
"Sorry." she said. It wasn't her intention to freak him out. She just needed to vent a bit and she'd found that Chase was a great person to vent to, be it about House or her family, he was always nice and listened to her and gave advice when he felt she needed it, or when she asked for it. "Like I said, it's just been a bit weird."
"You're welcome to that spare room at my place." he muttered as he looked over the chart for a patient who needed stitches.
"Popo would end up spending a lot of time there again." Park pointed out.
"Not a problem." Chase smiled. "It would give me a chance to win back that fifty bucks I lost to her last time she came over."
"You're going to be a bad influence on her."
"I think she's a bad influence on me." Chase said defensively. "Have you seen that woman drink?"
"Maybe you two should stay away from one another." Park laughed. "I'd hate to come to work and find out that you're my new grandfather."
"A drunken night in Atlantic City." Chase nodded. "She does have a strange, seductive quality about her."
"I already have the images of my parents in my head, the last thing I need is images of you and Popo."
"You'd rather just have images of me." Chase replied with a wink before heading off to see his first clinic patient.
"Oh, please." Park scoffed. "You're not that good looking, you know!" she called after him, a bit too loudly, causing some of the nurses and patients to stare at her.
