Since Traci spread the word (grr you haha) I said I'd post this. I recently re-read it the other day and I'm completely embarassed by the first few chapters because, they were the first things I've ever written. The first chapter is all jumpy and cliche, honestly, I think the whole thing goes too fast. It'll get better (I hope) as the chapters go along, I just hope you enjoy it

Chapter 1
“Adam Lambert”
House stared at Adam’s face with a vengeance.
“So you think you’re cut out for this job?”
“Yes sir.”
House narrowed his eyes, “politeness will get you nowhere Lambert,” said House as he tapped his fingers impatiently on the desk.
“Do you want me to be rude?”
“Try me.”
“I’ve heard interesting things about you House,” Adam remarked as he leaned on the chair, “I’ve heard that cane of yours does all the thinking for you.”
House snorted.
“You’re a pretty big talker for a gay man.”
Adam's eyes widened, “How did you-“
“You don’t do a very good job on covering your hickeys Mr. Lambert.”
House smirked as he watched Adam's hand slap over the space on his neck revealing part of a bigger red mark. House stared him down for a few moments before continuing, “Too big to be from a woman, but you never see husbands walking around with revealing hickey’s on their necks. But you realized this and decided to wear a high collared shirt to cover up most of the evidence. Normally you would just cover it up with makeup but I suppose you ran out this morning. Such a shame. Now do you think my cane caught on to this and told me fast enough so that I could make a smartass retort to you in time?”
Adam just stared at House dumbstruck, mouth open.
House decided to continue, “If you want different boyfriends every Friday when you go to that gay bar I’d suggest you’d take away all the signs that you’re unavailable.”
“I’m not a slut!” Adam snarled back.
“Gay men are so fun, aren’t they Wilson?” House said smirking slightly.
“House, stop traumatizing him.” Wilson said spinning slightly in his chair. “Just ask him the questions were instructed to ask.”
House remained silent, rubbing his chin occasionally.
Wilson sighed and turned his chair to face Adam. “Where did you go to collage Lambert?”
“Well, first I went to the Collage for Creative Studies in Detroit for a year to become a graphic designer, but it wasn’t really working out, so I transferred to the University of Michigan to become a doctor, I was there for 2 years.”
House tapped his cane on the floor, “ooh gay and artsy, imagine that.”
Wilson ignored house, “Hmm the university gave you a pretty high recommendation for only being there for 2 years...”
After that House didn’t know what the hell they were talking about, he was too bored to actually listen. He stared at the wall for a while, intent on burning a hole into it. When it seemed that wasn’t going to happen anytime soon House stood up from his chair.
“Well, I’m leaving now.”
House started to head for the door of his office, quickly stepping around his desk slapping Adam’s legs in the process.
Adam looked over at House and raised an eyebrow.
“And what was that for?”
“No, you’re supposed to say that you’re sorry. This is the part where you’re supposed to feel bad for me; an old man accidentally hit you with his cane and just wants to be forgiven!” House remarked, being sarcastic.
“You obviously did that on purpose so I have no right to feel sorry you.”
“Oh cry me a river,” House said walking out the door.
“So that’s it then,” House glanced behind him to see Adam following him, “You’re just walking out on me because I’m gay?”
“No, I’m walking out because its 5:00 and I want to go home to take a bubble bath. I’m sure you’re familiar with the scenario.”
Adam shook his head before replying, “So I’m not hired.”
House turned around and looked at him. “I never said you weren’t. You start tomorrow. 9:30 don’t be late.”
Then House turned around and walked into the elevator, “You’re going to be fun Lambert, I can tell.”
House smirked at Adam as the elevator doors closed.
-----
“Well, Dr. Lambert, since House’s team doesn’t have a case at the moment we normally put him and his teammates on clinic duty. So here is your file for today.”
Adam took the file from Cuddy gratefully.
“Exam room 2, and welcome to the team,” Cuddy seemed to have a wave relief wash over her as she said, “We needed more people so I’m glad House hired you, he doesn’t hire many people.”
Adam laughed. “Yeah I noticed. House isn’t exactly a walk in the park. How do you handle him everyday?”
“Well after awhile you just get used to him I guess,” Cuddy seemed to be a little distracted, “I was the one who hired him after all.”
“Wait, you-“
“Dr. Cuddy!” House’s voice seemed to echo around the clinic, “Stop sweet-talking the gay boy!”
Cuddy rolled her eyes. “Speak of the devil,” she muttered.
She spun around on her 3-inch heels, the floor squeaking slightly, as she turned to face the limping doctor.
“What do you want House?”
“I see you assigned him to a patient, what gender is the lucky winner?”
Cuddy’s face darkened as if she knew where this was going. “Male.”
“Oh no, that will never do,” House replied with an unimpressed face, “I would have to send Foreman to baby-sit. Just to make sure they don’t play with their tinker toys.”
Cuddy looked at him disgusted. “Go back to your patient House.” She seemed to hiss every word.
“Change his patient.”
“House if you-“
“It’s okay.” Adam licked his lips before continuing, “I get it a lot. Just give me the other patient.”
Cuddy looked from House to Adam for a few moments before sighing and handing him the other file in defeat. “Exam room 1,” she said angrily.
Adam nodded before walking off, “Thank you.”
As soon as Adam’s lab coat disappeared behind the Exam room door, Cuddy turned on House instantly.
“What the hell was that?!” House could practically see the fire in her eyes. “Are you so biased that you would never be able to trust him with any male patient?!”
“I’ll trust him when I see it done.”
“Then why didn’t you watch him when he was originally assigned to the male patient?!”
“Do you think I have the time to follow some gay doctor around all day? I have much better things to do.”
House started back to his room as quick as possible but he grimaced as he heard the familiar sound of the heels clacking behind him.
“Better things to do?” Cuddy spat each word out like venom. “Oh right, sitting in an exam room playing General Hospital is a much better use of your time!”
“Just give me the security tapes if he checks any males.” House glanced at his watch before returning his eyes to Cuddy. “Ah yes, my soap is back on so if you don’t mind I’m going to fulfill that good use of my valuable time.”
House turned and limped back to his exam room.
“Oh yeah, Cuddy, while I’m gone I’d appreciate you taking that pole out of your ass!”
-----
Adam’s eyelids drooped as he shut the exam room door behind him. He could hear Cuddy and House having a full out war in the lobby. Probably about him he had guessed.
Adam never cared about what people thought and he certainly wasn’t going to start now.
“Hey, who are you?”
Adam turned around to see a small brown-haired girl sitting on the examining table. Her eyes were curious and she seemed to bounce around ecstatically.
“I’m your doctor today sweetie,” he replied smiling.
“I’ve never seen you here before.”
“I just started yesterday,” Adam said looking at her.
“I knew it!” The girl seemed excited, “I knew you were new! No doctors here have red hair!” She seemed smug about her accomplishment. “I’ve always wanted red hair; I want to dye my whole head red!” She touched her head lovingly before moving along. “My mommy takes me here every week to make sure I’m healthy! And see this?” She dove her hand into her pocket and held out an inhaler proudly. “This makes me feel all better, one time I was playing outside and it was really really hot so I got-“
“Whoa!” Adam laughed and laid a hand on the girls shoulder. “I just met you! How about giving me your name before telling anymore of your stories.”
The girl’s hand shot up and she pointed to herself with glee.
“I’m Allison!”
Allison seemed excited to tell him the next part, “And I’m 10 and three quarters! My grandma told me that it makes you sound older when you add the three quarters.”
Allison giggled and crossed her legs like a business woman.
Adam chuckled at her, “I’m Dr. Lambert, but you can call me Adam.”
Allison’s eyes widened as she squeaked, “Only me?”
“Yes.”
“Well, only you can call me Allie then,” she said beaming.
Adam smirked as he played along, “Only me?”
“Yes”
Allison giggled at their little inside joke before asking, “Adam, how old are you?”
“I’m 20”
The look on Allison’s face was a mix between pure shock and a total spaz.
“Oh my gosh! You’re old enough to sit in the grown-up seat in a car!”
Adam assumed she was talking about the passenger seat and smiled at her lightly.
“Yes I am, and get this; I’m old enough to drive too.”
Allison looked as though she died and went to heaven. “I can’t wait to sit there! But my mom says I can’t because I talk too much but I just can’t stop! That’s why I was sent here in the first place, my mommy thought something was wrong with me.” Allison laughed to herself as she studied Adam’s face with mind-blowing awe.
Adam sat down and looked at her, “she’s quite naïve for a 10-year old,” he thought grinning.
Suddenly the exam room door opened and a blonde-haired woman walked in.
Judging by Allison’s load shriek of, “Mommy!” He guessed it was her mother.
“Hi,” The woman seemed surprised to see Adam, “I’m Sara Iraheta, Allison’s mom. It’s nice to meet you Dr..?”
“Lambert,” Adam replied shaking her hand.
“I hope Allison wasn’t too much trouble, Cuddy and I were catching up.”
No, she was fine Mrs. Iraheta.”
“Yeah mom,” Allison retorted, “Me and Adam are best friends now!”
“Well Adam-“
Allison cut her mother off with a snap of her fingers, “No mom, only I can call him Adam.”
The child turned and winked at Adam with a “We know something she doesn’t know” face.
Adam grinned for about the seventh time, this girl was simply adorable.
------
The little brunette seemed to talk nonstop about anything and everything, this was both enjoyable and refreshing to Adam. It helped him get his mind off of the earlier conversation with House and Cuddy.
“Alright Allie, you’re all done.”
Adam watched as Allison did a happy dance and leapt off the table.
Sara grinned at her daughter before beckoning her out the door. She turned her head and looked at Adam.
“I have to set another appointment, do you mind entertaining her while I’m waiting in line? My daughter seems to have developed quite a liking for you.”
Adam felt as happy as he’d ever been; his first day wasn’t all that bad.
“No, not at all.”
Allison squeaked out of happiness and dragged Adam excitedly out of the exam room, her mother following them out.
Allison engaged Adam in conversation once again when they walked into the lobby. Adam listened, entertained, occasionally he laughed and looked fondly at the youth.
A few moments later, Sara touched both of their shoulders lightly.
“Thank you Dr. Lambert,” Sara said politely, “It’s been a pleasure meeting you.”
“It’s wonderful to have met you too Mrs. Iraheta.”
Allison’s eye twitched as she heard this exchange of words, she knew what was going to happen next.
Sara looked down at her child and said softly, “It’s time to go kiddo.”
Allison frowned at her mother and looked as though she was about to protest but thankfully she decided not to make a scene. She stood up and glomped onto Adam.
She looked up at him and beamed.
“Thanks for taking care of me today, Adam.”
Adam hugged her back tightly, “No problem sweetie.”
Allison’s expression suddenly changed from overjoyed to slightly depressed.
“I want to see you again.”
“Sure, I guess if we see each other around.”
She looked at him determined, “I will see you again.”
Adam’s lips curved up into yet another smile, “Then I guess I’ll be seeing you around Allie.”
She let go grinning like an idiot and clasping her hands in an excited manner. She grabbed her mother’s hand and they headed for the exit. He watched her skip out the door gleefully and sighed to himself. He’d wished life could be as carefree as that.
“So how is the little gay jay doing on his first day?”
Adam turned around and scowled at House, “Fine thanks.”
“You know, some people who see 20-year old men flirting with 10-year old girls often classify them as pedophiles. Others classify them as just plain creepy.”
Adam gave House the dirtiest look any gay man could manage before replying, “What gives you the idea that I was flirting with my patient?”
“Hot mom? No wait; it would be hot dad now wouldn’t it?”
Adam stared at House with such calmness it was haunting.
“I don’t know if anyone’s told you, but you’re a real ass.”
House watched silently as Adam strutted away.
“Yeah, I get that a lot.”
Tell me when to post the next chapter!
