Hi! So, I come bearing gifts! Gifts of chaptery goodness! Read on. My friends! Oh, and I don't own TBBT or any of its affiliates. If I did, Shenny would be the main attraction, y'all!

Leonard was shell-shocked. He knew what was just said he was not supposed to hear, but he had come home early from a date with some girl he met online. He was about to open the door to his apartment but instead, he heard Sheldon and Penny's voices through her door. What were they talking about? They sounded tense. He didn't want to disturb them so he listened in through the other side. Then he heard. No, it couldn't be right. Sheldon and Penny? No. He must have heard it wrong. I dove you? I glove you? No, those don't even make sense. He was so surprised and angry, furious, even. How could Sheldon do something like this? He had called dibs when he first saw Penny, and they had even tried going out. And Sheldon was supposed to be asexual. He wasn't supposed to feel anything more than the love for his family and friends. Even his friends, that was a stretch. Leonard stumbled over to his apartment and into his room, shoving his head down on to his pillow.

2 Days Later

Few words had been said between Sheldon and Leonard for the past couple of days. Sheldon didn't know why, he had no clue that Leonard overheard his conversation with Penny. Tensions had been high ever since that conversation. Not only between Leonard and Sheldon, but between Sheldon and Penny, too. They were having trouble coming to terms with what had happened. They were contemplating between how to tell their friends about what had happened, or even telling them at all. Penny was still getting over the fact that Sheldon let his feelings out like that. He was always so stone cold. Just a shell of a human being. It made her think. Has he been hiding a different Sheldon inside of his Whack-A-Doodle exterior? It made her head spin. What was the next step? She needed to talk to Leonard, and she knew he would be upset. How could she do something like this to him? She knew he was still crazy about him and a little part of her still was crazy about him as well. Then there was the alcohol, which didn't help the situation at all. She had become dependent on it, and the stresses of the whole deal over the past 2 days were only fuelling her dependency.

Leonard was still brooding in his bedroom, only getting up to go to work, go to the bathroom and eat. And even those situations he had dreaded. He knew there was a chance of him seeing Penny in the hall, or in the laundry room or lobby. He was figuring out a way to confront Penny or Sheldon on the situation. He knew that they were getting on to him knowing, and they would have to confront him about it at some point, but the biggest part of him wanted to run away and never come back. This was seeming more and more appealing as the hours went by...
