The Girls' Night Intervention – The boys' intervention


Sheldon entered the apartment dazed and confused. 'What just happened?' he thought. Leonard, who was in the kitchen grabbing a late night snack, looked at his roommate puzzled.

"So, I take it by the scene out in the hall that you and Amy are good again?" Leonard questioned.

"I'm not sure, Leonard," he said approaching the kitchen island and taking a seat on one of the stools.

"What do you mean? You don't know? That was some kiss you two were engaged in out there. What did you do again?" Leonard jested.

"Nothing… I think. I asked her if she wanted to stay here tonight but she declined. And just now, I asked her if we would be seeing each other tomorrow and she told me to send her a text and that she would think about it."

"Well, what did you expect? That she would just jump back into the relationship as if nothing happened. You haven't exactly been Prince Charming where Amy is concerned," Leonard pointed out.

"Said the man that chased a woman relentlessly for years and then went to a communal gathering on a ship and smooched with another woman instead of actually working," Sheldon snickered.

"I made one mistake with Penny, Sheldon… one!" Leonard said defensively as he held up his index finger. "And at least I'm going to try to make things right with her. You have made numerous mistakes over the past five years but are unwilling to put aside your selfish pride to even acknowledge them!" Leonard shot back.

Sheldon didn't have a come back for this one. He knew his friend was right. During the past two weeks, he had thought about the way he had treated Amy over the years and concluded that he was, in fact, an ass. He had shown little consideration for her profession, thus throwing her in Kripke's path. He had little physical contact with her outside of date night parameters. He had never shown her the same regard as she had for him therefore driving her away and he had never put her needs and wants before his. These were the thoughts that crossed his mind frequently during their break, the ones that rendered him silent. Sheldon put his head in his hands and sighed heavily.

"Listen buddy, it's not my place to tell you what to do as I have screwed up myself, but it's time you started showing her physically how you feel, and I don't mean rush off and have coitus but, you know…kiss her more often, do romantic things for her once in a while. She has done so many nice things for you over the years…it's time you man up and reciprocate," Leonard asserted.

"You're right," he said as he looked up again, "it's not your place to tell me what to do…but thank you for doing so."

"Leonard," Sheldon continued, "I believe I know why Amy is not exactly happy with me right now. I took your example of coming clean before we resumed our relationship and told her what I said to Kripke."

"Oh really, and how did she react?" Leonard asked with an insidious smirk.

"Wait, did you know that Amy knew about what I said to Kripke a while back… about our physical activities?"

Leonard looked him dead set in the eyes and tauntingly replied, "Yes."

"You knew she knew yet you didn't inform me that she knew? WHY!" Sheldon huffed, throwing his hands in the air.

"Shall I remind you of my woolen Lenny sweater, Sheldon?" Leonard exclaimed. "If you can dish it, you should learn to take it," Leonard said as he took a water bottle out of the fridge and started walking towards his room with a smug and self-satisfied smile on his face.

Sheldon slumped down on the stool and rested his head on the counter. This night was certainly not skewed in his favour.

He sent Amy a good night text and retreated to his room throwing the phone on his bed. He was hoping for an answer of some sort from her but knew he probably wasn't going to get one. It was a consequence he would have to bear . He dressed in his pajamas, brushed his teeth and climbed into bed. Still, no answer. He sent one more text, one with the numbers 143 and his initials and decided to turn his phone off. He laid in bed once more, feeling alone and distraught. "Oh Amy," he exhaled deeply and shut his eyes tightly, falling asleep with images of her in his head.
