Sheldon Swifties: XIX.: "The Sporting Life…"
Summary: Like my Immortal Beloved bits in my Buffyverse stories, these are fragments and short bits, some longer…Just to fiddle with ideas, possibly forming longer tales later.
Disclaimer: All is Chuck's…
"We fell on the playing field…"
Sheldon, Leonard groaning on the floor…
"The work of an arrogant heel…" Leonard, glaring at Sheldon…
"The din of the crowd…" (Amy, Penny hooting…)
"…and the loud commotion…
Went deafening silence and stopped emotion…"
(Amy, Penny, open-mouthed at the wriggling mass on the floor…)
"The evening was almost done…" Sheldon noted…
"I managed it 12 to 1…"
(What? Leonard, Penny, Amy… "In your 'Physics Fiesta Bowl' dreams…")
"So far I had known no humiliation…
In front of my friends and close relations…"
(Amy, beaming…Who else could he mean but…)
"There's my (yeah, I heard about the bored thing…Sigh) girlfriend looking on…" Leonard, downcast…
"With my girlfriend arm in arm…" Sheldon…Hmmn…
(Uh-oh…Amy…He's finally catching on to my clever effort to get a rise? Now?)
"With the captain of the other team…"
(You bet your booties, pal…Penny, proudly.)
"And all of this (and so much more) is clear to me…" Leonard, sighing…
"They condescend and fix on us a frown…" Sheldon, Leonard…
":How they love…The sporting life…" ("You were the one who insisted we keep playing them, Sheldon…" Leonard, glaring…)
"And father had had such hopes…" Sheldon…
"For a son who would take the ropes
And fulfill all his…Old athletic aspirations…"
(You're kidding…Leonard stared… Poor, poor man…)
"But apparently there's been some complications…
But while we are lying here
Trying to fight the tears…"
"I'll prove to the girls that I come out stronger…" Leonard…
"Though I think I might lie here a little longer…" Sheldon…
"There's my girl…She's looking down
Is that disappointment in her knitted brow?..." Sheldon…
("Oh, no Sheldon…That's raging lust…" Amy, happily kissing him…)
"I should've known
She thinks again
I should have dumped him once again…" Leonard…Downcast…
("Uh…I didn't say that…" Penny, anxious…)
"She turns and drinks the lemonade away
And breathes in deep
The sporting life…" Leonard, Sheldon…
"The sporting life,…
The sporting life…
How they love... The sporting life…" Leonard, Sheldon…
" I could settle for coitus…" Amy, eagerly… "Or just more kissing as opposed to your further humiliation…?"
"Oh…I'm in Hell, Leonard." Sheldon, sighing. "Don't stop, Amy."
"Look…Leonard…" Penny sighing.
"You're just afraid committing to me is giving up your dreams…I get it…We're through…" shrug… "Look, Penny…I can't spend my whole life hoping you'll see that I love you and I'd never stop you from going for your dreams and somewhere there's gotta be a nice girl who'll be happy with me…So. Bye." Leonard heads off...
Amy eyeing Sheldon in midkiss as Leonard leaves, Penny…Jaw-dropped in astonishment…Amy nudging Sheldon…
"Well…You still have…The Sporting Life…" Amy, Sheldon to a staring Penny…
