Leonard stepped out of the shower at the same time the door opened. Howard and Raj stepped in with huge smiles and armfuls of tale-out Thai food.
"Hey, guys," Howard said, "Sorry we're late, but there was a long line at the restaurant."
Leonard, who was drying his hair with a towel, said, "No problem."
Raj stared at Leonard confusedly, "Dude, were you just in the shower?"
"Yea, why?" He answered, slipping on his glasses.
"Wait," Raj replied, "Sheldon changed the schedule and allowed you to take a shower now?"
Leonard and Sheldon froze, causing Howard and Raj to look at each other in confusion.
"Are you guys okay?" Howard asked, slowly.
Leonard recovered first, "Yea… Yea, we're good." He dropped the towel on the armchair, and then sat down.
But not in his usual spot. Instead of the armchair, Leonard plopped down next to Sheldon, and not just next to Sheldon, but close to Sheldon. The weirdest thing was that Sheldon did not seem to mind. In fact, was that a small smile on his face?
"Are you sure you guys are all right?"
"Yes," they answered simultaneously.
"Okay, whatever…" Howard said sitting down in Leonard's usual spot, "Let's just eat."
The meal passed slowly. Every so often, Howard and Raj would share a confused glance, while Leonard and Sheldon shared a secretive, happy glance.
Finally, the meal was done, and they put down their plates… well, not plates really, but that's beside the point… The TV was turned on, and the Star Trek theme song could be heard throughout the room.
"Hey, Leonard," Raj asked, "Can I borrow your book on astrophysics and how it relates to quantum physics. I'm working on a new thesis."
"Sure. It's in my room. Uh, bottom shelf."
Raj nodded and left the room.
"If you don't mind, I'm going to go to the bathroom," Howard said, and he too left.
"They're suspicious," was the first thing out of Sheldon's mouth.
"I know," Leonard replied, "It probably doesn't help that I'm not in my spot. I should probably move."
"You will do no such thing," Sheldon said.
"But," was all Leonard was able to get out before Sheldon kissed him, pushing him back onto the couch. Leonard wrapped his arms around Sheldon's neck and immediately opened his mouth. Sheldon was currently massaging Leonard's tongue with his own when a simultaneous exclamation made them freeze.
"Oh my God."
Sheldon flew away from Leonard, while Leonard simply tilted his head towards the hallway.
"H-hi, guys," He said and then licked his lips.
"You were kissing Sheldon."
"Uh… Yes?"
"You were kissing Sheldon?"
"I believe that has already been established."
Howard and Raj ignored Sheldon and rushed to Leonard's side, grabbing his arm, "Why would you kiss Sheldon?"
Leonard blushed, " 'Cuz… I want to?"
"But why?"
Leonard glanced at Sheldon, whose eyes were suddenly interested in his feet. Leonard shook of Howard and Raj and sat up, wrapping his arms around Sheldon and resting his head on his shoulder.
"I l… like Sheldon… just the way he is… and I will kiss him as much as I want to, and if you don't like that then… then you can just leave."
To prove his point, Leonard quickly leaned over and gave Sheldon a peck on the lips.
Howard and Raj were silent for a moment.
"Alright, dude, whatever you want. It's all cool."
"Yea, it was more of a shock."
Howard and Raj backed off and sat down.
"So, how long have you two been…?"
"Approximately, 23 minutes and 53 seconds before you guys showed up."
"Really? It just happened?"
"Yea…"
Howard let his perverted mind start asking the questions, "So… are you guys going to do… you know… the uh… freaky nasty?"
Leonard blushed and covered his hands, Sheldon, however, seemed unfazed, "I imagine we would engage in coitus."
Howard and Raj spluttered, "You mean you'll actually have sex?"
"While my sex drive is not as great as Leonard's… I will be willing to have coitus with him… and if he needs to 'get off' as one says, I, of course, would help him."
Howard and Raj guffawed as Leonard sank into the couch. To be honest, the idea of Sheldon pushing him back to the bed, climbing up over him, locking him into a searing kiss, and then his hands would slide down him and…
"Leonard? Leonard? Earth to Leonard?"
Said person snapped back to reality, blushing at his thoughts. Everyone was looking at him.
Howard spoke up, "Seems like Lenny here likes the idea."
They would have started laughing again if Sheldon had not spoke up, "Please, refrain from calling him Lenny. I reserve that right to me."
"Ooh… Sheldon's serious."
"I am always serious."
"Uh-huh. Well, anyways… It's getting late… I have to go. My mom wants me to help wax her chest hair."
With that disturbing image in his wake, he left the room. Raj followed swiftly after simply saying that he would see them tomorrow.
"I sense that I have caused you some discomfort."
"No, it's alright. It's just embarrassing."
"Embarrassing? How so?"
"Normal people in relationships don't talk about their… coitus agreements."
"Lenny. We're not normal."
Leonard sighed, "I suppose."
"Do you wish to be?"
"I suppose. Sometimes."
Sheldon seemed shocked, and then he reached over and pulled Leonard into his chest, "You seem just right to me."
"Thanks, Shelly."
"I like it when you call me that."
"What? Shelly?"
"Yes."
"Well, I'll try to call you that from now on."
"Good."
"I'm tired, I'm going to go to bed." Leonard stood up and gave Sheldon a quick, but passionate, kiss.
Leonard made it all the way to the hallway before Sheldon called out.
"Lenny! Wait." Sheldon quickly stood, "I believe you should sleep in my room tonight."
Leonard froze and his eyes widened, "W-what?"
"We will not engage in coitus, but I believe we should share the bed."
"O-okay… I never thought I would actually sleep in your room."
"That's what you get for assuming."
Leonard hmphed and turned back round, this time heading for Sheldon's room.
"I'll see you soon."
"Yes, you will."
