god cameron literally loves being unknowable. like she loves it. people misinterpreted her and she smiles to herself and never corrects them. like it’s fun for her. and then there’s house and he can’t figure her out. like he’s devoted his life to figuring things out. he has a pathological need to figure things out. and he can’t figure her out. and it’s like, no one figures her out but also people don’t usually know that they haven’t figured her out. but house has figured out that he hasn’t figured her out. and it’s now a personal challenge for him. and she loves that. like she loves that. because now it’s not just her laughing. someones playing this game with her. someone’s there with her. and then there’s chase. and it’s like. i genuinely think he understands her. like on some level. like he gets the details wrong but broad strokes he really can read her pretty well. because she let him!! like she let him. she starts their casual hookups because she doesn’t like him. like she care about his opinion. and she tells him that. because it doesn’t matter to her what he thinks. so she’s just honest with him. because she doesn’t care enough to hide. and then he falls in love with her. like she wasn’t hiding but he falls in love with her. she told him that she dislikes him and he falls in love with her. and the problem is that she’s started to like him too. and now somebody that she actually likes can see her. and she hates being seen. she started this because she doesn’t care about his opinion enough to care about whether he sees her. but then she does care about him. and he can still see her. and she spends their relationship running towards and away from that fact.
