AN: Curses! I was looking for a song on youtube, accidentally came across a Penny/Sheldon video, and went OHMIGOD WHY DID I NEVER PAIR THEM? I can't have any more pairings to write about! Sighhhhh
Itty-bitty one-shot. Penny/Sheldon. 2nd person, Leonard. Hopefully this will get them out of my system…

Occam's razor postulates that the simplest answer is usually the correct one.
Except you know this, you could recite it in your sleep if called upon to do so, and you're still unable to apply it to the situation in front of you.
Sheldon, obviously, has gone blind and doesn't realize Penny's sitting in his seat.
Sheldon must owe Penny vast amounts of money and is somehow paying if off in this fashion.
It's not actually Sheldon, sitting next to Penny in not-Sheldon's seat, it's a clone. No, an alien. A clone wouldn't let her sit there, either.
Sheldon is dead. And asleep. And high on prescription drugs and…and…
Vaguely you realize that your knees have just gone a bit weak, and you're feeling dizzy, and oh, yes, Penny's mouth is on Sheldon's, and obviously, oh yes, obviously one of them needs mouth-to-mouth resuscitation because nothing else could possibly be going on here…
And as you back up into your bedroom, wide-eyed at the sight of your roommate holding hands—even if obviously he's just checking Penny's pulse—you know, Leonard, that nothing but nothing is simple about love.
Aliens, you tell yourself firmly as you shut the door and sit down on your bed.
Aliens, you think. Nothing could be more obvious.
