'Listen to me, you know this isn't easy for me and I would appreciate if you did what I asked you to.'

'I could, but I won't'

'Why not?'

'I don't want to'

'That's it!' She glared her eyes at him ' Sheldon Lee Cooper, you are not the only one in this relationship, I'm in it too and I am allowed to my opinion and when I ask you for something, which I rarely do, I expect you to do it or at least try!' He was as calm as if she was talking in her normal tone 'I am tired. I seriously am and I am 100% sure you won't understand why and I don't care at this point.' She sat on the opposite end of the couch

'I do believe you're the most beautiful person I've ever seen'

'What?' She knew those words

'Penny… I did an exchange… I cleaned her house while she was telling me'

'You're doing this because you hate change, this break – she points her finger at him – is a change to your routine and you're trying to get it back to normal'

'That's partially true. I hate change, that's a known fact, but I am trying to tell you how much I love you'

'You suck at reading facial expressions so I'm gonna make your life easier: this – she points at her face- is my ' im tired' face'

He changed his position on the couch and was now sitting inches away from her, he looked in her eyes

'I know.'

'I'm tired of yelling, I'm tired of everything. I'm tired of not feeling good, I love you a lot but I am incapable of doing this anymore. I'm not getting these 5 years back, I want to be happy and comfortable and I'm not'

'Why didn't you tell me?' He was genuinely curious

'Remember your train trip? Remember my last words to you before you took off?'

'Yes. We fought about living arrangements'

'That was one of the few times I spoke my mind and look at what happened next. Do you understand?'

'Yes. But I want to hear the truth'

'Answer this to me: you have 5 seconds to answer, if you don't then the answer is implied'

'Let's do this then'

'Do you think I'm pretty?'

'Yes' He immediately answered as soon as she finished her question

'Okay. Thank you.'

'Come here' She was nervous, her decision to ask for a break was based on the fact that she had no freedom in that relationship, but she got closer to him like he had requested

'Now what?'

He grabbed her legs and put them across his so she was sitting on the couch but her legs were resting on top of his.

'What are you doing?' She was curious to see what he was going to do

'Nothing, I'm just making you comfortable'

She smiled, this was actually comfortable and he didn't seem to mind.

'Now, we have other business to discuss Miss Fowler.'

'Doctor Fowler, if you must..'

A.n. - The was she's sitting is usually the way I sit when I'm around my bestie during breaks and i find it very very comfortable ! This is also a thank you to her for supporting me in this,i love you.
