New update time! Want to get these drabbles done so I can focus more on my WIPs, both the ones that are published in part and the ones that aren't.
In other news, Roxanne (ennaxor) and I have started recording a podcast for fun; if you want to listen to us discuss recent Leonard/Penny and Shamy news, Raj/Lucy, and the last new episode in general, go to The Big Bang Buzz dot com, and you'll find the podcast recording. : )
Oh yeah, and this fic, I don't own it. Or anything in it. You know the drill. It's carved in stone. With Leonard's chisel.
Be kind and sweet while she's on her period.
The first time Leonard threw her a mini party, Penny thought it was really sweet, especially since the day had also involved getting no tip from two of her tables despite them both making a mess of their immediate vicinity. Coming home to a bowl of trail mix, a movie, and Leonard including a whispered I have dark chocolate in the fridge, too, during their hug just made Penny want to hang on to him for the rest of the night. And she did, cuddling close and missing parts of the movie because she was focused on the faint sound of his heart that she could hear with her head on his chest. Forget the rest of the night; what he'd done, and feeling him holding her now, made her not want to let him go ever.
Or maybe it was just the hormones.
No, she was certain that it was that it was Leonard.
When his little routine turned out to be a monthly thing, Penny wondered if it was weird. None of her previous boyfriends ever did that. None of her previous boyfriends ever did anything like that. Mike hadn't even been sure of when her cycle was.
Of course, Leonard was nothing like her previous boyfriends, certainly not anything like Kurt or Mike. And overall that was a really, really good thing. Penny figured that her initial reaction to what he'd done for her was probably the correct one. It was really nice to know that he would go out of his way to make her feel better, and if the day of Leonard's Penny Period Party – which he preferred to call P3 – came on a day she worked, she could get through the under tipping and the aching feet and the messy customers knowing that she'd come home to hugs, promises of chocolate, and cuddling while watching a movie that he would never have picked out for himself.
