Okay, something I really don't need to be doing, considering I have two stories going already that both need updating (which I will try to do tomorrow!), but I couldn't stop it. The idea hit me while driving home and listening to the song, "Don't Ever Let it End," by Nickelback (great song, btw) and I started this. It will be a set of oneshots centered around moments we didn't get to see throughout the series about our favorite couple. Some will be during their relationship, some during their breakup, some during their budding friendship, and some possibly in the future. This way, any onshot ideas that randomly hit me, I can use to contribute to this! Some will be short, some will be long. Either way, they will be full of Lenny!

First chapter takes place somewhere in season 1.

Enjoy!

With a frown on his face, Leonard reached up and attempted to discreetly scratch his scalp for what seemed like the millionth time that afternoon, moving the cap placed atop of his head aside. Now he remembered why he never wore hats. His frown deepened as the man he was sitting next to yelled, slinging his arm out, and nearly hitting Leonard in the eye with his giant foam finger. The man had already come dangerously close to spilling his beer all over the nerdy physicist. This was why he avoided these crowds. His mind was still a little confused as to why he had agreed to come, before hearing the cheering to the left of him.

Turning to face the beautiful woman next to him, he recalled the knock that came at his door the day before, followed by the woman bouncing in. She held out two tickets in her hand, asking him to accompany her. His mind had moaned and groaned, already aware that he didn't belong at any kind of stadium. He had been close to declining, when she had flashed him her radiant smile and his eyes met hers, causing his heart to jump forward and shove his brain to the side.

The next afternoon, she had knocked on his door once again. When he opened it, she stood in front of him, a blue baseball cap with the white letters LA stitched on the front, along with a matching Dodgers' jersey which fit snugly, highlighting all of her perfect curves. In her hand, she held an identical hat she claimed was for him to wear. Before he could protest, she had already slapped the cap on his head, smiling as she did so. When she proceeded to tell him how adorable he looked in it, he decided, maybe the day wouldn't be too bad.

Hours later, after having Penny explain the concept of baseball more than once, Leonard sat in the packed bleachers, a headache beginning to surface from the screaming around him. He tried to drown the noise out, tried to ignore the uncomfortable seat he was forced to sit in or the constant itchiness from the baseball cap. Instead, he began to focus on the woman next to him, cheering along with the sweaty obnoxious men surrounding them. His eyes were drawn to her smile; the same smile that had got him into this whole mess. How could he have ever said no to her?

She must have felt him staring as she faced him, a bright smile lighting up her face, obviously enjoying herself. She leaned closer to him, speaking directly into his ear, "Are you having fun?"

Not really. Leonard couldn't tell her that though. He chose to smile and nod for her benefit. She seemed pleased with his answer, relaxing against the back of her seat. She kept her face close to his, he noticed. He could detect the smell of her usual perfume amongst the smell of all the strangers around him. He'd probably be able to pick her out of a crowd of a thousand women. There was no doubt she was the most amazing woman he had ever laid his eyes on.

"Thank you for coming with me."

Her voice shook him from his thoughts, fighting back the blush threatening to creep up his neck. "No problem," he replied, before furrowing his brow, gaining the courage to ask her what had been on his mind the past 24 hours," How come you invited me though? You must have friends that are more educated about these events? And what about that guy you were talking to? What was his name? Jim?"

"Jake," she corrected and with a dismissal wave of her hand, she continued, "and he's long gone."

Leonard tried to keep his emotions under control. She was single once again. His heart began to accelerate, his palms grew moist. He wondered briefly just how much of a nerd he'd look like if he pulled his inhaler out of his pocket. The beefy man next to him would probably have a good laugh at that.

Managing to keep his tone neutral, Leonard kept the conversation going," Oh? What happened?"

She shrugged before answering, her eyes on the game in front of her, "I don't know. Just wasn't the right guy. Besides, "She was looking at him again, grinning, "maybe I just wanted to hang out with you, outside of the apartment, away from the other guys and all those video games and star wars-trek shows."

Leonard did his best to keep his frown at bay, but her comment stung a little. He knew it wasn't what she was used to, but he still enjoyed those things. She must have noticed his face fall, because he soon felt the heat from her skin as she laid her hand on his. She gave him a gentle squeeze, and before he had time to comprehend what was happening, her lips were pressed against his cheek.

Penny quickly faced the game again, cheering as the home team got a score or touchdown or something that she had explained to him, but Leonard couldn't remember.

He could no longer fight the blush appearing across his cheeks this time or the widening smile his lips were forming. The cheering and screaming grew even louder around him. Leonard barely noticed the annoying man beside him throwing his popcorn in the air, most of it spilling in his own lap. All he could see was the incredible woman sitting next to him and the image of his lips on her skin replaying through his mind.
