Summary: She sees something in him that no one else does.
Notes: Written for 20_fics. October 6.

She sees something in him that no one else does.

It’s what keeps her trying, waiting, hoping.

It’s the reason she hasn’t yet run in the other direction as fast as she can.

It’s why she hasn’t given up on what others would call a hopeless case, a useless, undeniably impossible case.

She sees something in him that stops her from listening when they say he’s not worth it.

She ignores them when they tell her he’s not worth the trouble he causes and the pain he inflicts upon everyone he comes into contact with.

She doesn’t care what they all think.

She thinks they’re all wrong. All so very wrong.

It can’t be quantified. It can’t be explained.

It’s just how she feels.

Underneath the harsh exterior that is House, she believes (knows) there is something more to him, something resembling a human being.

And she’ll wait out the day, no matter how long it takes, that that part of him surfaces.

Ah, I love it. So true. You know that Cuddy sees something in House that nobody else does. Nobody else would put up with him like she does. And it's not because, as she says in one episode "That SOB is the best doctor we have," because you know, being himself, he ruins about as many lives as he saves.

You know it's because she sees something -- whatever it is; his humanity like you say -- or, y'know, also because she totally loves him underneath all of his... House-ness. ;P

Very well put. :)

I think she, unlike pretty much everyone else, sees beyond what he is on he surface and actually believes that maybe there's a chance he'll one day show that more human side of him (more than he already has what with teh kiss of awesome in 'Joy' and all). ♥

Completely off-topic annotation... maybe you should add 46px padding at the top of your header. It gets cut off by the control strip which is sad, because it's such a gorgeous header.

:) Thanks for reading!

It is a gorgeous header and I'd love to be able to 'un-cut' it off. I'm not the best at coding though. How would I do that??

[london_fan]

Well, first question: Do you use custom CSS code in the CSS box or do you use a layer?
It's easy to fix in a layer, if you use the custom CSS box, do you have a txt file of your code, so I could take a look at it?

Okay, ignore me, I see you figured it out! ;)

:) Thanks again for pointing it out. It looks much better now, me thinks!

Nevermind. I think I got it. :)
(Thanks!)

Aw <3 This totally makes me think of "Bleeding Love" The one line that goes
"But I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you. They try to pull me away, but they don't know the truth..." So true to them. Great :]

Am glad you enjoyed the fic.
