Foreman stopped short at House's question. It wasn't one he wanted to answer, or face up to. One of the advantages of being with House was that no one would believe it, which meant that Foreman, in a sense, didn't have to believe it either. He could let it happen without examining it. And despite House's propensity for analysing everything to death, so far he hadn't gotten on Foreman's nerves by trying to explain him to himself. Much. Anyway, it was a stupid question. Whether or not Foreman wanted to hide it, there was going to come a point when it became common knowledge. It could have been this morning, and he was damn glad it hadn't been. But House would let something slip to Wilson, or one of the new fellows would read too much into a word or a glance. Workplace relationships were never as inconspicuous as the people involved in them thought they were. Look at Cameron and Chase.
"I don't want people to find out because we're fucking in the sleep lab," Foreman said briefly. He turned away, frowning. All he wanted was to shower, dress, and not start wondering why House was asking. If House was asking, that meant he was interested in Foreman's reasons, or reactions. He might start dropping hints during differentials just to see whether he could make Foreman jump. It wasn't a fucking joke. The other possibility--that House was asking because he didn't want to hide it--was even more uncomfortable, and luckily even more unlikely.
Ignoring House, and the trouble he'd probably manage to cause on his own, Foreman headed for his bedroom. He stepped out of his shoes and pushed off House's sweats and boxers before heading into the bathroom to start the shower.
