Sadly I don't own The Big Bang Theory
Phew, I finally finished this story and will continue writing. I have an idea already for my next story so stay tuned!
"Leonard knows about us Penny?"
She nodded slowly. "Yeah, he showed up at my door after midnight clearly drunk and aware. I told him to go home and didn't answer his question."
"I see, now I know why he was passed out on the floor." Sheldon mused, sitting on Penny's couch.
"He was? Wow, he must have been really drunk and upset."
"Indeed. I thought that he was dead at first and I was already thinking of what to tell the CSI when they would arrive." He told her, causing her eyes to widen.
"What?"
"It's common sense that I would be the first suspect as I am the roommate. As I began considering the number of scenarios that might occur, it is starting how anyone with a decent IQ could easily get away with murder."
"You're kidding." She asked, earning a shake.
"If only it weren't true. Now it would appear that he is suffering from temporary amnesia but I hope it's permanent."
Penny took her hand in his. "Sheldon, he'll find out eventually, we can't hide this forever. I'm ready to tell him, are you?"
"Do you by any chance wish to bake MeeMaw's pecan pie? I have a craving for it."
She hung her head. Why did he keep changing the topic? "No, but I could buy one from the store. I don't have the ingredients."
"Unacceptable. Luckily I do and you must make it from scratch. Now let's get cracking."
"I think Penny's avoiding me." Leonard muttered, taking a sip of his coke as they sat in the cafeteria without Sheldon.
"How so? Her presence around you hasn't decreased but just the opposite." Howard replied looking up at him from his plate.
"And Raj isn't helping much either. They aren't dating, alright?"
Raj let out a sigh. "You are denying it because somewhere in that head of yours you know it's possible, even if it's a 1% chance."
"More like 0.0001%" Howard corrected earning a nod from Raj.
"That is still a chance either way, I've seen stranger things happen even against the odds."
Leonard frowned. "Oh yeah, like what?"
"You dating Penny two times and Howard actually getting married." Raj responded, staring at the two of them. "Honestly if I was Penny, I'd pick Sheldon over Leonard. He is much better suited for her and I have a feeling that he knows this as well as the both of you."
Sheldon sat at his desk, writing in his notebook when the door to his office opened. He didn't bother to look up until he heard Leonard's voice.
"I need to discuss something with you."
He stared at him, placing the cap back on his pen. "Do you not remember how to knock?"
Leonard shot him a glare and Sheldon motioned to the chair across his desk for him to sit down. "I trust this is of importance as I am extremely busy Leonard."
He complied and cleared his throat, folding his hands on the desk."It's about Penny."
Sheldon huffed and leaned back in his chair. "Good Lord, you're obsessed with that woman to no end. Please leave so that-"
"You're dating her aren't you?"
He paused and saw the seriousness in Leonard's eyes before moving his eyes down to his clenched hands. There was no use, he would die at the hands of his roommate right there and then. His tombstone was before his eyes: 'Strangled by a washed up Homunculus before accepting his Nobel Prize'.
Sheldon stayed still, afraid to make any sudden movements and eyed his door. If he made a run for it he would make it, Leonard was not a hard person to outrun.
"Leonard, I believe that your delusion is mitigated on the fact that you have not had coitus in a designated time period. I suggest you call Priya before your mediocre mind creates anymore ridiculous manifestations regarding Penny and I."
"Why does everyone want to set me up with Priya again?" He asked angrily as Sheldon stood up from his chair.
"Well, Priya was the second woman in your life that managed to sustain a relationship with you that progressed longer than two months and I believe Raj isn't keen on that I might add."
Leonard's memory then flashed to his drunken stupor when he knocked on Penny's door. He had confronted her about Sheldon and she didn't deny or confirm it, just as Sheldon is doing now. Focusing back on their conversation he noticed that Sheldon had disappeared. He walked out of the office and growled. "That bastard is hiding something..."
"Have you seen Sheldon?" Leonard asked, sitting in his apartment.
Raj and Howard shook their heads in unison as they dug into their food.
"Is he missing or something?" Bernadette asked curiously as Leonard set his takeout tray down on the table.
"I suppose you could say that. His phone is off and he changed his Facebook status to 'Sheldon Copper is M.I.A."
"Perhaps you should call his mother." Amy suggested. "That woman would convince the devil to go repent his sins so a hiding physicist should be simple to convince."
"It's so obvious where Sheldon is hiding. You guys are so slow." Raj told them, taking a sip of his beer.
Penny sat with Sheldon on her couch, leaning against him slightly as they watched a rerun of Star Trek. Leonard had come earlier to ask if Sheldon was hiding here and lied that he wasn't there. He had searched everywhere he could and had somehow missed checking behind the shower, and Sheldon thanked his lucky stars. Penny was angered and had had enough, telling him to go check the train store or something.
She wasn't paying much attention to the movie and instead traced her finger over his hand as she held it in the other. He had allowed her to touch him whenever she had the need to without so much of a complaint.
Their relationship was progressing; he had hugged and kissed her when he discovered that he was being considered for the Nobel and recently when he allowed her to sit on his lap to 'try an experiment'. It was definitely a success as he didn't push her off him and it ended in making out on her couch.
For a germaphobe he was pretty lenient to the majority of things. Of course there was still no touching his food and if she was to kiss him her teeth had better be brushed with an appropriate amount of mouthwash in the morning and evening and after every meal.
When she came from work she had to shower before any contact with him as the amount of bacteria at a restaurant could cause him illness or sudden death. Other than that everything was game.
"Is my hand much more fascinating than Spock?" He asked, his eyes focused on the screen.
"Yup, I never noticed how long your fingers were. They're suited to play the piano." She answered, pressing her palm against his to see the difference in size.
"I do play the piano, Penny. You found that out when you sabotaged my virgin Cuba Libres."
She laughed out loud, causing him to glance at her. "Hey, I enjoyed your performance and so did everyone else at the restaurant. They asked me if you could be hired full time but I said it was a rare onetime privilege."
He turned to look at the screen again and smiled to himself as Penny continued talking about him playing sober for her next time.
"Are you ready?" Penny asked, sitting across from Sheldon on the couch as he shook his head quickly.
"I don't think I could do this."
"It won't hurt a bit and I promise you it'll be okay." She pressed, holding his hands in hers.
He sighed. "Penny, I would much rather attempt coitus with you than tell Leonard the truth. At least I won't perish from the latter."
"What did I say about the 'c' word?" She asked, glaring at him."You make it sound like a medical condition."
"Fine, I'd rather have sex with you than tell Leonard, happy?" He corrected, as Penny's eyes fell on his.
"That depends. Are you saying that only as a compromise or are you considering it seriously?"
Sheldon licked his lips. "I am considering it seriously, Penny. I knew that from the moment we would begin a relationship that carnal activities would be inevitable. Besides it's not like I haven't performed the act previously as everyone assumes."
"So you're not a virgin?" She asked in surprise, this was definitely unexpected.
"I am thirty years old, Penny. How does one stay a virgin for that amount of time?" He asked as if she had told him that subatomic particles never existed in the first place.
"Although I did it just to see what the big deal was. I felt no connection to the woman other than biological urges when I was 23 years old. Leonard joked that I finally hit puberty when he saw that I came back wearing the same clothes as the night before."
"It's just odd because you hate physical contact and said that sex is messy, loud and unsanitary."
"You are correct but I recently pushed those thoughts away when I found out about your night with Raj. I was frustrated with the news and found myself wishing that I was the one instead." He explained as he looked down at his hands.
"When you explained yourself to me the next day I felt relieved that you two hadn't committed the act. Finding the reason for my thoughts was foolhardy from the start when I began to diagnose my symptoms and was startled to find myself in the same position as Amy had. Our trip to the symposium only brought out the feelings farther with our closeness."
Sheldon then twitched slightly. "When Amy, Beverly and that woman when I was 23 kissed me I felt nothing at all. Not a single shred of attraction or need to kiss them back. However, when you kissed me when I was stuck on my formula I felt this odd but pleasant sensation during and after the act. It calmed me down and yet my heart rate quickened at the response. The second time was when you were at the hotel and woke me up when you sprawled on top of me completely naked. I tried to sit up but you pressed your lips against mine and I forgot what I was thinking of in that moment. The same feelings were duplicated and that's when I knew I wanted to have c- sex with you."
Penny spread her arms out and leaned to hug him. Rubbing circles on his back she rested her head on his shoulder. "I admire your courage Sheldon. You really are different from the jerks that I dated. All this time I held back sex until you were ready but you've been doing that for me instead."
Sheldon then kissed her and she felt his hands pull her closer and onto his lap, not breaking the kiss. He placed his hand on her cheek and deepened it, tracing his tongue over her lips. She obliged and granted him access as she moved slightly to straddle him and he chuckled against her lips.
"What?" She breathed, parting slightly to get some air as he moved his lips down to her neck.
"This action is a case of Déjà Vu, Kitten." He replied huskily.
Penny felt him bite her neck and a moan escaped her lips as she felt his hands grip her waist to steady her. He trailed kisses down toward her collarbone and brought down her left strap with his teeth. It was making her toes curl and they haven't had sex yet!
She brought her lips to his again and felt his tongue caress hers. He moved it sensually and it made her realize that he truly was a genius in everything he did. Penny sucked on his tongue and he bucked beneath her, sending a jolt of pleasure throughout her body.
Leonard opened the door to Penny's apartment and couldn't believe his eyes at what he was seeing. There on the couch was Sheldon beneath her with his hands under her tank top cupping her breasts while hers were clasped to his undone belt. It didn't help that her pink bra was around her waist and he nearly dropped the phone in his hands.
He averted his eyes, realizing that his Indian friend was right all along. The rest of their friends followed Leonard and stared in shock as Raj grinned.
"There's a Dr. Von Dressler on the line that wants to talk to you." Leonard said after gaining the courage to speak.
Sheldon glanced over at him with Penny sitting on top of him. "What is this pertaining to as I am currently occupied."
"It's about the Nobel Prize, you won." Leonard told him calmly as his roommate pushed Penny off him and grabbed the phone out of his hands.
She fell back onto the cushion and sat up, a little upset that she got blown off for a doctor. They watched him hang up the phone with a smile plastered across his face.
"I actually won! This is astounding that I have proven String Theory!"
They stood there in silence before Amy spoke up. "That's great news but I believe a more startling realization is that you are trying to mate with my bestie."
"I won the Nobel Prize and intercourse with my girlfriend is a higher priority?"
Howard nodded. "Yeah it is, since when did you and Penny start dating?"
"Obviously a week after they came back from Long Beach." Raj spoke up, gaining attention from everyone including Sheldon and Penny.
"You knew about us all this time?" She asked surprised.
"I knew about you long before that. I saw how you two got along and the eye sex you exchanged on a daily bases. If you looked up sexual tension in any dictionary you would find their picture next to it. It was only a matter of time."
Leonard took of his glasses and rubbed his eyes. "I don't know what to say."
Bernadette and her husband grabbed Leonard's arms and pulled him toward the hall before Howard spoke up. "Let's give them some privacy and you can think of something when Sheldon gets back."
Amy followed behind and dug into her purse. "Leonard, I need monitor your brain waves to see if I can duplicate the same effect on Ricky."
Raj flashed him a thumbs up and closed the door causing Sheldon to turn around to a slightly miffed Penny. "I apologize for my action earlier."
She walked up to him and pecked him on the lips. "Apology not accepted."
This caused him to frown at her words. "Why?"
"Because you need to make it up to me with more than that." She said suggestively, pulling him towards her bedroom. "Let's put that brilliant mind to good use shall we?"
