Please forgive the long delay. It's been crazy lately. Trying to turn my writing into an honest job sounded a lot better in theory than in practice. Never realized how time consuming it really was until now.
Regardless, enjoy!
Sheldon and Amy woke up the next morning to the sun beaming in through the window. Everything felt surreal to them at first before reality began to sink in.
"This is real. Last night really did happen," Amy thought to herself.
"Good morning, Amy. I hope you slept well last night," Sheldon said, breaking Amy's thought.
"I did, thank you," Amy replied.
Sheldon got up to make his way to the bathroom to void his bladder. When he opened the door, he was surprised to see both Leonard and Penny asleep on the floor. He knew why they were there and couldn't help but laugh to himself. He cleared his throat quite loudly as to wake them up. Penny and Leonard both jumped to their feet when they realized that they had been busted.
"Oh…um…hi, Sheldon," Leonard said, nervously.
"Well, good morning, Leonard. How did you and Penny sleep last night?" Sheldon asked sarcastically.
"Well, um…look, about that…" Penny stammered.
"I know what you were doing. Although, I can't seem to figure out how you got back in front of my door without my knowing. I do having hearing like a hawk," Sheldon questioned.
"We're just good like that, I guess. Come on Leonard," Penny said as she pulled Leonard off towards his room. With that, Sheldon shook his head and made his way to the bathroom.
"I can't believe we got busted!" Penny squealed as her and Leonard entered his room.
"I know! That was insane," Leonard said.
"Do you think Sheldon is mad?" Penny asked, the reality of the situation finally setting in.
"I doubt it. He didn't seem too concerned with the fact that we were asleep at his door after spending the night trying to see if we could hear him and Amy having sex," Leonard replied sarcastically. Penny let out a little giggle before wrapping her arms around Leonard neck and giving him a little kiss.
In Sheldon's room, Sheldon returned from the bathroom to find Amy getting her things together to leave.
"What was all that about?" Amy asking, referring to the exchanged between him, Leonard, and Penny.
"Oh, it was nothing. Just Leonard and Penny participating in some sort of mischief in which they listened at the door all night to see if we were engaging in coitus," Sheldon said matter-of-factly. "Where are you going?"
"Oh, I must be getting home. I need to shower and spend some time at the lab. Next week we are starting a study on the correlation between bleaching one's hair and their brain patterns," Amy replied.
"Sounds messy," Sheldon retorted.
"Not really. The chemical processing that is required to change the color of one's hair is typically done in a hair salon," Amy replied.
"Still sounds messy. Regardless, I hope you have safe travels and don't forget our weekly Skype session tonight," Sheldon said as he walked her to the door.
"I wouldn't miss it," Amy said with a grin on her face. She gave him a quick kiss before hurrying out of the door back to her place. A short while later, Penny left, leaving the boys home by themselves. Each were working at their respective desks. There was a sense of awkwardness in the air as Leonard tried his hardest to avoid talking to Sheldon. He didn't want to hear Sheldon's inevitable lecture about why is was inappropriate for Leonard and Penny to have spent the night camped out in front of his door to see if himself and Amy were doing something that was quite frankly, none of their business.
"Leonard," Sheldon finally said. Leonard groaned as he knew what was about to come out of Sheldon's mouth.
"Yes, Sheldon?" Leonard asked reluctantly.
"Don't sleep in front of my door anymore. I don't like it," Sheldon said, matter-of-factly.
"Don't worry, I won't," Leonard replied.
"You and Penny seem to be spending a lot more time together lately," Sheldon said.
"Yeah, I guess we have been. Actually, I've been meaning to talk to you about Penny," Leonard said nervously.
"What about her?" Sheldon asked quizzically.
"Last night, she asked me to move in with her," Leonard replied.
"What did you say?" Sheldon asked.
"I kinds told her I would," Leonard said as he tried to avoid Sheldon's gaze.
"Well, this certainly does put a spin on things," Sheldon said, not sure of how to react.
"I know, it was big for me too," Leonard replied.
"Well, I guess social protocol is for me to tell you congrats. So, Congrats!" Sheldon said.
"Thanks Sheldon," Leonard said.
"I mean it. You and Penny have been together sometime now. This is the only logical step in your relationship," Sheldon said as he tried to defend himself.
"You think so?" Leonard asked.
"Well, of course. Unless you are in Texas. Then it would be a sin and Jesus would be upset with you," Sheldon replied. Leonard rolled his eyes and went back to his laptop and continued working.
Life was about to change drastically for the two geniuses, but in a really good way. If only they knew what life had in store for them.
