A/N: Hey guys, so sorry I haven't UD in a while, exams and stuff. But I couldn't sleep last night and so this was born! I hope you guys like!
I raced upstairs to prepare for this secret meeting that Sheldon had planned when I realized that I had no idea what was expected. Would this be romantic, but if I showed up all gussied up and flirty but he only wanted to plan something for Missy or something like that, what would that make me look like? But Sheldon wasn't the type of guy to.. ya know, do the hanky panky. But after his display today, who knows what he intends. I exhaled loudly and plopped on Missy's bed. She was currently helping Meemaw organizing her pills. They had been at it for about an hour now and I had no idea when they would be done. After we had gotten home after lunch, most of our time was spent helping Meemaw get settled and just lazing around. I wish I had known about this meeting because I could have easily spent that time readying myself. But I didn't know so now I was faced with the life changing decision that all woman face: What to wear?
I quickly tossed all of the sleepwear I brought and was incredibly disappointed with my decision of not packing the night before. I stood shaking my head for a few moments before glancing at Missy's closet. She's a pretty girl, tall but about my size… I instantly shook my head in disgust. Wearing Sheldon's twin sister's clothes to maybe-possibly-might-not seduce him. It was creepy beyond belief. So I turned back to my choices and let of a gush of air. Well, it was a tie between the Hello Kitty shorts with a yellow tank top and a baggy shirt with a pair of Superman boxers. Hello Kitty it was! I quickly changed then moved on to the topic of make-up. I didn't want to look to seductive in case this wasn't what I was hoping, but I wanted to look flirty enough in case this was going to be something. I decided on some pink lip gloss that smelled like cotton candy, a light powder that looked beautifully natural and a hint of blush that made my cheeks look like a popping cherry blossom. I didn't put on mascara in case the horizontal playground rubbed my eyes. Didn't want to go looking like a baby raccoon now did I? I looked in the mirror and gave myself a once over. Good, I looked natural, but flirty. I tip-toed to the bathroom and brushed my teeth twice. As I silently walked back to Missy's room, I heard medicine bottles closing and voice coming closer to the stairs. Looks like I finished just in time. I ran back to the room and tried to clean up everything before Missy came in.
Just as I was throwing my make-up bag in my suitcase, Missy came in. I turned and tried to look innocent. She eyed me skeptically. "A little late for make-up dontcha think?" She said while raising one eyebrow. "Well, I was just about to- I mean I was going to, uh-" She stopped me during my nervous babble. "I think Shelly will love your get up." She said with an amused smirk. My eyes widened before smiling. "You really think so?" She gave me a reassuring smile before frowning worriedly. "Just, don't push him if he doesn't want to, you know how he gets." I held up a hand. "I, Penny Johnson, solemnly swear that the victim, Sheldon Lee Cooper, will not be seduced against his will on the night of tonight." I spoke in the most official, monotone voice I could manage. Missy immediately lit up in giggles. "Alright, alright, I can already tell Shelly likes you so I'm not too worried, just go easy on im' Penny." She looked around. "Well, Meemaw, Momma and George are asleep so hurry up now, shoo!" She pushed me out the door and closed it behind me.
I inhaled and exhaled before striding silently down the hall towards Sheldon's mysterious childhood room. The dark walls seemed to be closing in on me and my childhood fear of the dark returned momentarily. I had to take a deep breath and ward away my nervousness and fear before continuing on the seemingly endless hallway. When I finally reached the door I slowly turned the handle and entered in the silent room. The door made a small squeaky sound that sounded like a category 5 earthquake in the still darkness of the house. I winced in fear of waking people, but the snoring commenced and not another sound was heard. I listened in the room for any sign that Sheldon was awake since I could not see a foot in front of my face. I waited so long that I began to fear that Sheldon fell asleep. I even began to imagine him in his creepy mummy position with his plaid pajamas laid perfectly over his body; I smiled a bit at the thought. He could be so wonderfully quirky at times. I thought of him in his superhero t-shirts and his perfectly pressed pants and that proud smirk he got when he won, that made me smile.
I looked back in the dark and was about to leave when two strong hands grasped my wrists and pulled me in. I nearly screamed my head off but one of the hands covered my mouth and I felt my back being pressed up against a body. "Shhh, it's just me." Sheldon whispered in my ear. "Now, I'm going to let go, and you can't scream, ok?" I nodded and his hands left my mouth and wrist. The light then turned on and nearly blinded me. I blinked several times before closing them completely. When I heard the door close I squinted trying to adjust my eyes to the light. I heard Sheldon's feet shuffling on the carpet and I allowed my eyes to let in more light as I looked around. Blue walls filled with posters of sciency things or superheroes captivated my vision. A tiny portrait of Jesus on the cross hung in a desolate corner of the room, most likely from Mary, and several tubes filled with different color liquids and extraterrestrial looking objects and creatures sat atop of dressers and bed tables. There was a book shelf; half was dedicated to comic books while the other half was filled with college books on physics, calculus, and many other things. There was also the occasional action figure here and there, still in their original cases, mint condition. The bed however, was placed in the middle of the room and it was everything she expected. It was bright red with a huge The Flash symbol in the middle of it. The yellow lightning bolt stood out shockingly (A/N: No pun intended) against the scientific atmosphere. The red comforter was pulled back a bit to reveal yellow and red striped sheets. She smiled instantly at Sheldon's…. Sheldonness.
And finally, she turned to Sheldon himself. He, surprisingly, was wearing a plain white t-shirt and blue plaid boxers. She almost squealed. Boxers! God he looked good in them. They hugged his waist wonderfully. And the t-shirt, man he had nice arms, oh and his hair was messy again, heaven. She blinked surprisingly at him while he looked at her questioningly. "Hello- I mean, um, hey Penny." He tried awkwardly. It sounded so weird to hear him say anything other than hello in greetings. "Sweetie, just say hello." He smiled. "Hello Penny." She giggled. "Why hello there Sheldon." Hello there indeed. "Just a fun fact to start with! Did you now Hello Kitty was based off of a Japanese demon." My smile dropped. "Seriously?" "Mhmm." He said matter-of-factly. "That's why she has no mouth, in fact, when you say Hello Kitty, it means Hello Devil." I looked down in horror at my shorts. "Oh my gosh, childhood ruined." I looked closer at Hello Kitty's face and confirmed that yes, she has no mouth. Suddenly, somewhere among my disturbance, I came up with a brilliant idea. "Oh man, Sheldon, I don't wanna wear these anymore," I pursed my lips in fake thought; "um do you think you could lend me something else to wear?" I pouted my lips and gave him my best puppy dog look. He looked around uncomfortably and for a second I was sure that I went to far, then he turned quickly, man what a nice ass, and reached into his drawers, digging around frantically. "Ah, here we go!" he said happily and turned with a pair of Batman boxers. I smiled thankfully. Exactly what I was hoping for. A man loved when a woman wears his clothes. "I'll just change in here, ok?" I turned before he could answer. "Uh, um, I don't oh; I'll just turn around now." I heard more shuffling feet. I giggled at how high pitched his voice was and quickly slipped off the demon shorts and cast them away before slipping on the boxers.
They were kind of big but they weren't too big since Sheldon was so skinny, but they fit in the wonderful way that guys boxers do. I smiled at the repeated batman logo pattern. "Ok you can look now." I spun around like a merry school girl and waited as he slowly counted to three (must be his favorite number) and turned around. "Oh goody, you match!" He exclaimed and smiled bigger than the Joker himself. I smiled and tucked a piece of hair behind my ear, unsure of where to go from here. I looked at his Green Lantern clock; 11:23. "Well, what did you need to talk about Sheldon, its getting late." He looked me straight in the eye with a sense of complete control. "I want to ask you about your feelings for me since I have changed in my demeanor and showed you a different side of me." My mouth dropped in shock. "Uh, well," I didn't know what to do, I certainly didn't expect him to be so blunt, "Well Sheldon, I guess I kind of… like.. you.. I guess." I turned away shyly, not prepared for being on the spot. "Fascinating." I heard him whisper. I glanced at him to see his reaction. He was smiling happily and looking at me seeming very satisfied. "Was that… what you… wanted… to hear?" I asked warily. "Why yes! That was exactly what I wanted to hear!" He smiled even bigger. He has a nice smile. "That's so great Sheldon! So, how do you feel about me?" I asked, once again feeling very shy. He looked shocked for a moment before glancing away in thought for a moment. "Well I suppose I like you too Penny." He said. I sighed in relief and went to hug him, but stopped about five inches away from him. "Can I hug you now?" I asked. "Uh, well I suppose." I barely let him finish before I raced the last few inches and wrapped my arms around his middle and buried my face in his chest. It took him a moment before his long arms wrapped around me in a warm embrace. I was about to question him to see if we would start dating or not but I don't think he could take anymore pushing. So I put my questions and worries aside and decided to just go with the flow for now.
A/N: Hope you guys liked, I know the relationship is moving kind of fast but its all part of the plan. All that I ask is that you guys PAY ATTENTION! REVIEW PLEASE!
