Raj had been staying with Sheldon for over five months and, despite Sheldon peculiarities, he found he felt quite at home there. Walking out into the kitchen one morning he found a reason to be less comfortable.

"What an enticing offer, I think you're trying to seduce me Amy Farrah Fowler" Sheldon said,

Amy smiled and blushed."I promise you the experience will be very exciting and I'm sure I will be more than satisfied with your part in it"

Hearing this conversation Raj entered and than quickly attempted to exit the livingroom with out being noticed. He'd never heard Amy and Sheldon's private conversations and now he was convinced he never wanted to.

"Raj! we were just talking about you" Sheldon said noticing his friend "Amy's got an exciting proposition for you, join us."

Raj froze. He really didn't want to be part of this.

"Come on Raj we won't bite" Amy said trying to calm his nervousness which only resulted in more anxiety. Raj sat in the computer chair in order to make a quick getaway when needed.

"I am currently studying the brain's rection to emotional distress and it just so happens that your social anxiety could prove very important for my research."

"I've agreed to help Amy by doing the initial interview, seeing that you can't talk to her."

"The interview and MRI would only take an hour, and since Sheldon would be present I'm sure you would be comforted"

"Comforting my friends is one of my many specialites"

"It certainly is Sheldon." Amy said unaware of the irony. "So, Rajesh, what do you think"

Raj nodded and relaxed a little realizing that he was not going to be engaged in some strange sexual ritual.

"That's great! Now I must excuse myself in order to urinate"

"Thank God!" Raj said as soon as Amy left the room.

"You are excited for this test. Your enthusiasm surprises me Raj"

"No, I just heard the two of you talking and I heard you say seduce and I thought that you meant that you wanted me to...you know "join you" ."

Amy entered the room and Raj fell silent.

"Amy, I believe Raj initially misunderstood our conversation. He thought that we were inviting him to join us in, as they say, a "three way".

Raj looked at Amy and shook his head

"I assure you Rajesh ," Amy said "such an offer will never be proffered. Despite my interest in social interactions I have no interest in deviant sexual encounters.I hope you can detain yourself from making me an subject of your sexual fantasies,"

"So do I. Raj, you're a strange little man"
