Summary: Continuation+other scenes from S12E06. Slightly based on something I noticed on the episode.

It was something that happened a lot over the years. It was something comfortable, warm, and it smelled nice. Also, it made her a little sleepy if she was lying on the couch.

Whenever she was cold, it didn't matter whether one of her jackets was closer, she would just grab his. They were bigger than hers, she could put her hands inside the sleeves, the hood would cover her entire face – perfect when she wanted to sleep on the couch without shutting the lights off – and the smell. Oh God, that smell. It smelled like home, and in a way it was.

Home is where the heart after all.

And her home didn't exactly have an address. It had warm skin, a beating heart, and a beautiful soul. The kind of person you go to when you need to vent. Or when you're angry at people, so angry that you can hardly breathe. And you hide on the bathroom so that no one sees you, but he gets in there and doesn't say a word. You don't either, because he doesn't let you. And you are just held tightly against his chest, you feel his beating heart and realize that everything will be okay.

It was sort of that feeling she felt when used his hoodie. The difference being, she couldn't feel his heart.

But that was okay since he would get home eventually. Well, he would get into their apartment, she wasn't sure where his home was at. Maybe his home was her, maybe it belonged somewhere else. She wasn't sure. But at that point, she wasn't sure whether or not she wanted to know.

Yeah, she wanted to. But there's a time and place for everything. Now, she was supposed to figure out what she was wearing for Halloween.

She was thinking of something with a skirt, or just a simple dress and an excuse. But Leonard and she were using this party as a way for her to dress up, she needed something that wasn't an excuse.

Finally, after three entire minutes of looking through the costumes, she found a dress. It wasn't too short or too long, it was green and she feels a bit in love – not as much as she loved her husband, of course! – with the way the sleeves were. When she put the costume on, she twirled a little and the dress went with her. Immediately, she took it off and went to the register to buy it.

It was basically loved at first sight. That's how Leonard must have felt like! She smiled at the thought of him and ended up having to be called to actually purchase the costume because she spaced.

Once she got to the apartment, she rapidly took her costume to Sheldon's old room to hide it and got back to the living room.

She decided not to talk more about Halloween so that she didn't spill to her husband what she had planned for their after party.

When she arrived home that day, she wasn't expecting her husband to be slightly mad at her for not remembering their first kiss. She did recall, she just didn't exactly like to remember one of those moments in her life where she wasn't with him. Those moments where she spent most of her days by herself in her tiny apartment, using her now best friends and husband, and dating stupid guys.

Those days were over and she didn't need – or want – them back. It was unnecessary.

But once the party started and the guest began to appear, the sort-of-but-not-really fight was almost forgotten.

That is, until the end, where he once again brought it up. But now, she was calmer, with a glass of alcohol in her system – but not drunk – and his sweet, tired, and big brown eyes were staring at her in such a way that she was honest about how she felt.

About how she didn't like to think of their actual first kiss as their first kiss. He understood, as he always does, and that made her fall in love with him even more.

And once Stuart was out the door, she made sure to make him know that.

(But what was also forgotten, was the hoodie! People that forget shouldn't try to narrate a story, they'll forget so many details they wanted to put in the story! Let's go back a little bit, shall we?)

Let's see, oh! right. She started to feel cold as everyone started to leave and the conversations ended. Before starting to clean up she decided to go and put on a jacket. Once she arrived at the room, she saw two jackets. One was hers, a floral one she owned for a long time, maybe even before she and Leonard met. The other was his, a grey one he bought after she told him to. Laughing as she remembered his face when she put on the jacket and told him they were getting it. She recalls his face as he asked if that was for him to wear or for her. She didn't even answer, just rolled her eyes.

She decided that the grey one was her choice and immediately put it on. When she got to the living room, Leonard looked at her and smiled, but said nothing. She just shrugged her shoulders and started to clean.

(Now that this hoodie story is finished, let's continue with the rest, okay?)

They were both panting, as they laid in bed. Penny put her head in her husband's chest and smiled.

A few moments went by – maybe more than a few – and Penny decided to talk.

"Nice party, huh?"

"Yeah. At least in this one, I'm not in bed alone." He smiled at her, to make sure he knew he wasn't saying anything about the conversation they previously had.

"And I'm not in bed without someone stupid." She smiled back at him, thinking of how lucky she was to have him in her life.

She didn't care which was their first kiss, as long as the one they just shared wasn't their last.

The End

Okay, I loved writing this chapter. Honestly, I'm not 100% sure about the pause in the middle of the chapter, but I wanted to write a bit more about the hoodie part but didn't know where to write it. Then I remembered "I'm the narrator! I get to pause and go back." And so I did. Hope it wasn't weird.

Anyway, I loved this episode. Shamy wasn't too much, I loved Anu and Raj and Howardette were so good! And then that final scene with Sheldon and Bernie. I feel in love with their friendship once again.

Now, Penny's "Why I don't like to remember our actual first kiss" was amazing and made me happy. It wasn't a fight, it wasn't awkward for me to watch, it ended up being sweet. Penny locking the door and asking "Where were we?" and Leonard's little smile. Ugh!, I love them so much!
