DISCLAIMER: Hello all! This will be the first fanfiction I have done in many years. Forgive me as I get back into the rhythm and flow. I do not own BBT or any of the wonderful characters; that is credited to the masterful Chuck Lorre. That being said I am going to play with them a little and I hope you enjoy it.
This story will start from just before the end of season 6, near the end of The Spoiler Alert Segmentation. I have always felt that Leonard just takes whatever love or acceptance comes his way and felt that he has always deserved way more. This will hope to remedy that need.
"Penny you don't even want Leonard to live with you!" Amy shouted in the hall way while Sheldon stood behind her. Penny tried to shush her annoying friend before her boyfriend heard the proclamation of truth.
"Sheldon what the hell?!" Penny yelled at the giant man child who was more than often the reason behind her getting into some form of trouble. "I can't believe you told Amy that."
"Penny you are the one who said you don't want Leonard living with you." Sheldon admonished the hot headed blonde.
"Oh yeah, well since you like the truth so much, let's see how you enjoy this." Penny glared at Sheldon as she turned to Amy, "Sheldon doesn't want to live with you, he likes just having you at his beck and call but don't expect to get anything in return. To him you are just a replacement in case Leonard falls off somewhere."
Amy felt her face fall and turn red, the heat was burning her cheeks and ears. "Sheldon is this true? Is that all I am to you? I'm the Leonard to your Penny."
"What does that mean?" A voice arose from behind the arguing trio. No one had noticed Leonard emerge from Penny's apartment. "Penny you don't want to live with me? Do you see me as someone to keep you entertained?"
Penny turned to face her boyfriend a lie poised on her lips when Sheldon spoke up. "No Amy you are not the Leonard to my Penny, I would never sleep with you because you look to sad to break up with you. I would just break up with you." Penny's face fell as the realization on Leonard's face peaked.
"Oh my god, I have been so stupid. All of those times that I felt you wanted to tell me something and then we would have sex. I just thought we had moved past all the crap and were finally happy but now I see that I was so pathetic to you that you couldn't even tell me the truth." Leonard felt everything hit him like a weight, his chest hurt and breathing was becoming an issue.
"No, sweetie that's not it. I swear. I mean for a little while there I was unsure of what I wanted but I know that being with you is what I want. I just feel like we are moving too fast." Penny tried to explain holding onto Leonard's arm.
"Too fast? Too fast? I have only ever tried to move at the pace you wanted and every time I think we are getting somewhere, to a point of security and trust I find out that you are lying to me. Penny, I have only ever wanted you for you but I think I am seeing that me being me is not who you want."
"Can we get back to the fact that Leonard has to move back in, Walking Dead is coming on." Sheldon rudely interrupted so that his needs were known. Penny, Leonard and Amy all looked at Sheldon with disgust as he shrugged his shoulders in a "what?" motion.
"Sheldon, we are trying to handle something over here." Penny scorned him.
"No, its fine. Sheldon is right. This does need to be handled. Penny I will be moving out of your place and back in with Sheldon." Leonard resolved. As he made to continue Sheldon erupted in a "Hazzah!" and headed for the apartment. "But only until the lease is up at the end of the month." Leonard stated as he headed back into Penny's to grab his belongings.
"WHAT!?" the remaining trio cried together.
Leonard looked back, noting the confused faces, "I will be moving out of the building at the end of the month. I think it's time that I took into consideration what I need and stop trying to make everyone else happy. So Penny, you don't need to worry about sparing my feelings, and Sheldon you can go to hell and find someone else to torture because I'm done with both of you. And Amy all I can say is good luck and don't let them bring you down."
