Amy was more than happy to not be a man in that very moment. She had never been so aroused before and if she would have been a man, she could have sworn her pants would have exploded.

By the way… man… pants… she looked next to her and down on Sheldon. His little "problem" was still very visible.

"Crap" Amy hissed and tossed her legs onto the sofa, before throwing her upper body over Sheldon's lap and leaning her head into her hand. Then she randomly punched the remote control on the couch table and the screen flickered on.

"Amy…" Sheldon stared down at her.

The door flew open and Leonard entered the apartment.

Due to Amy's good placement over her boyfriend's lap, nothing was to be seen anymore. She smiled at her boyfriend's roommate. "Hello Leonard"

"Sheldon, one of the fuses in Penny's apartment is broken. Where do we have spare ones?"

"I don't know" Sheldon mumbled.

Leonard stopped in his movement and looked at him quizzically. "Is everything okay?"

Sheldon looked back at him and his expression was blank. He was too distracted by his erection and the fact that Amy was close to it, again.

"Oh well, we're just a little tired. We ran around in the rain quite a while and then my car wouldn't start…"

Sheldon pulled his eyebrows down and opened his mouth but Amy punched her fist against his chest.

"Oh, that's a shame" Leonard was already looking around in a few drawers. "I wonder when this thunderstorm will stop. Damn!"

He closed the drawer and headed over to the door again. "I guess we will just sleep here then and buy new fuses tomorrow."

"But wait!" Sheldon sat up a little. "Where is Amy gonna sleep? I thought she could spend the night in your room!"

Leonard stopped and looked at them. "Oh…"

"It's alright. I'm… I'm gonna take the sofa!" Amy smiled.

Leonard nodded and left the apartment again. When the door was closed, Amy sighed and sat up again, throwing another glance at Sheldon's pants. "You're lucky that I was so fast!"

"You lied to Leonard" Was Sheldon's only dry comment.

"Would you have preferred if I would have said 'Oh, I'm just lying here to hide his boner, because before you decided to interrupt, he and I were making out like horny teens'?"

Sheldon looked at her in shock. "No, of course not!"

"Good" Amy took a deep breath and then bit her lip. "I… I think I need a tea. You, too?"

"Yes, please"

Amy knew that Sheldon didn't dare to move, so she stood up and went over to the kitchen. If only Leonard wouldn't have come…

Sheldon had taken a long cold shower to solve his problem while Amy, Penny and Leonard had cooked some lasagna. After they had eaten it all up, they were hanging on the sofa, full and tired.

"I can't even drink a sip of water anymore" Leonard moaned and closed his eyes.

"Ugh, please don't talk about anything that would even go in my mouth now" Penny rubbed her belly.

"I'm gonna go brush my teeth!" Sheldon stood up and disappeared in the bathroom again. Amy sighed. She wasn't sure if she had broken him in a kind of way. He had hardly talked all evening and fled whenever it had been possible.

A loud thunder ripped them all out of their thoughts.

"Damn" Penny turned around and looked to the window. "That's terrifying. I am happy I have a strong man by my side!"

She turned back just to look into Leonard's angst-flushed face. Penny rolled her eyes and grinned before tousling her fingers through his hair. "You're my favorite nerd"

Leonard grinned back and they shared a kiss. Amy looked at them dreamily. Sheldon came back and witnessed the scenario. He bit his lip. He felt uncomfortable about what had happened and he didn't know when he would be able to kiss Amy again. If even ever again.

He walked back down to the sofa and sat down on his spot.

"We have spare toothbrushes in the bathroom cabinet and you can use my toothpaste if you want" Sheldon smiled at Amy. It wasn't her fault… nothing was her fault. And he absolutely didn't want her to feel bad.

She insecurely smiled back, nodded and left for the bathroom.

Penny and Leonard were finished kissing but still busy smiling at each other. Sheldon felt a slight stinging in his heart. He sometimes wished it would be that easy. He sometimes wished he wasn't such a genius. When it came to love and all that came along with it, it really seemed like ignorance was bliss.

"Hey, Amy needs something to sleep in! I'm gonna go and get her something from my dresser!" Penny jumped up and happily swayed out of the apartment.

"Great, now she's gonna end up in Hello Kitty shorts and a pink bra" Sheldon sighed.

Leonard looked at him and grinned. "Or half naked"

Sheldon looked back at him but he didn't grin back. Leonard cleared his throat and his face went straight again.

"You should call Wolowitz tomorrow for the fuses"

"Yeah, probably. It would be much cooler if I did it myself but… a little less cool if I ended up on the floor with an electric shock…"

Amy came back to the living room. So did Penny.

"Hey, Ames! I got you something to sleep in!"

"Oh dear"

Leonard grinned due to Amy's reaction.

Penny handed her a white silk nightie that still looked pretty innocent though. Not exactly something that would have put Amy in her total comfort zone, but she was glad that she didn't have to sleep in her underwear.

"Well, how about we head to the bathroom and then…" Leonard stood up and went over to Penny before slightly kissing her neck. "Right to the bedroom"

"That sounds like a plan!" Penny grinned and grabbed Leonard's hand. "Good night, you two. Sleep well, don't let the bed bugs bite!"

"Good night" Amy and Sheldon chanted in unison.

When the bathroom door closed and they both heard some giggling, Sheldon also turned around to Amy. "So… uhm…"

"Yeah…" Amy bit her lip.

"It's past my bedtime already so I'm gonna go to sleep, too. Good night, Amy…"

"Good night, Sheldon…"

The physicist stood there for a few awkward seconds longer, unsure what to do, but then he turned around and walked to his bedroom.

Amy sighed and turned off the light. The streetlights of Pasadena made it light enough for her to see where she was going and where she could put her clothes.

She took off her cardigan, her blouse and her shirt and placed them carefully on the chair Leonard usually sat in.

She rushed around, as she heard steps. It was Sheldon again. With something in his arms.

"I forgot to bring you a pillow and a blanket" He was so all-business, that he hadn't even looked up yet. He quietly went down and placed everything on the sofa, nicely arranged.

Then he bent up again and stood right in front of Amy.

"Oh!" He swallowed when he realized she was in her bra.

Amy crossed her arms in front of her chest. "Thank you"

"You're welcome, good night!" He hurried up to his bedroom again, afraid he'd have to take another cold shower.
