Don't own.
Sheldon stared at Penny. His bottomless blue eyes were empty of emotion, except for a slight hint of shock at Penny's confession. He was stood by her door, his arms hanging loosely by his sides, frowning a little.
oh my god, he's just stood there like a big ol' idiot. Staring at me. Like I'm a freak. Judging me, like everybody else. I trusted him! I thought he's so alienated, he might understand!
"Well, say something!" Penny snapped.
He didn't.
"For Gawd's sake Sheldon, if you're going to just stand there and judge me, then just get out!" she screamed.
Sheldon turned silently and walked out of her apartment.
When he left, Penny burst into tears. She collapsed on her floor, howling like an abandoned dog, her face dripping wet. She buried her head in her hands, drawing her knees up to her chest. She gasped for breath, clutching at her heart. She knew she was hyperventilating.
I need to calm down. I can't breathe. I cant breathe. Fuck fuck deep breaths. Damn you Sheldon!
10 minutes later, Penny was calm again. Wiping her nose, she sniffed, and cleared her throat.
"Sheldon, I swear to God, if you tell anyone about this, I'll tie you to the back of my brother's truck and drag you so far out.."
From inside his apartment, Sheldon smiled sadly.
There was a tentative knock on Penny's door. From the couch, she screwed up her eyes and groaned, waiting for the following 'Penny' repeated three times, but after a pause, she rose, narrowing her eyes suspiciously, and opened the door.
Leanord blinked innocently, his hand raised to knock again. He swallowed at the expression on her face.
"Um, hey Penny.. Um, Howard, Raj, Sheldon and I were just wondering if you'd want to come over for dinner.."
"No thanks Leonard."
Penny went to close the door, but he stopped it.
"Look, Penny, I know you and Sheldon argued. And I know you told him something, because he's been moping about in his room all day, and running away from me. I could only convince him to eat with us because I told him that, well, that you'd be with us. So, to conclude, um.. Please?" Leonard trailed off lamely.
Penny's expression had softened at his words. She nodded silently, and walked out with him, shutting the door gently behind her.
An uncomfortable silence had settled over Sheldon and Leonard's apartment. Raj and Howard were chewing silently, staring at the floor. Penny was trailing her fork across her rice, and glancing up to glare at Sheldon every few seconds. Sheldon was staring intently at Penny, and Leonard was looking back and forth at both of them, like a confused puppy dog. The silence had been going on for 10 minutes.
"I thought Chinese food had too much sodium for you." Sheldon said.
A completely oblivious Leonard winced, and looked down.
Penny leapt up, hands on hips.
"Oh I'm sorry, Sheldon! I came here to enjoy a nice meal with my friends, I didn't come for a damn interrogation!" Penny yelled, and ran out of the apartment.
A shocked silence followed Penny's outburst.
"Sheldon, go after her!" Leonard exclaimed.
Shelson sighed, dropping his fork with a loud clatter, and followed Penny to her apartment.
hey guys. I'm having a complete writers block on this story, and to make it worse, this iPad is the most canopying frustrating thing to to type on in the entire world. If you have any ideas, please review! Much love :3
