I also can't usually read House/Cameron (well, not without needing an insulin shot afterward) and this is nothing like that. This is lovely, and you made me feel very much how Cameron wants what she cannot have, and her realization that she will never have it doesn't hurt -- it's the most logical conclusion. It's just so perfectly House that he'd allow her to help him and then insult her. With everyone except Wilson, he only takes. Only with Wilson does he give of himself.

Lots of great lines in this, too: "I-" she began, feeling her words burn to ashes in the fire of his stare. Nice little moment here when she stands up to him just a little: He tilted his head. “You didn’t try to tell me his name.”

She looked back down at the chart, apparently uninterested. “Would there have been any point?” she asked.
