A/N: This is just a little series of disconnected snippets that have been running around in my head. They all occur sometime after Leonard has moved out and Sheldon and Amy have consummated their relationship. Sheldon said in S9 E1 "We make everyone feel awkward, that's our thing!" That got me thinking about how much more awkward "their thing" could become for everyone else if they approach their intimate relationship in the same straightforward manner they approach so much else. Hope you enjoy!
The guys were clustered around the sofa in 4A as usual, just beginning to unpack their dinner. Everyone was there except Penny and Bernadette, who would be a little late due to an all-company meeting that afternoon.
Howard had been a little grumpy all day, owing to his relative lack of sex at home recently (Bernie had been working too late, too often), and problems with a new piece of equipment he was developing for the International Space Station. So pretty much everything was annoying him.
And at that moment he had decided that there had been far too much Shamy sex talk as of late and he thought tonight he would turn the tables on them and beat them to the punch. Glancing over to see Amy leaned across the kitchen island on tiptoe grabbing for forks and Sheldon walking up behind her he saw his moment.
"Hey Amy, try not to let Sheldon bend you over the counter and have his wicked way with you before we get to eat!" Howard quipped, proud of his quick wit. Raj and Leonard smirked along with him as they laid the takeout boxes on the coffee table.
Sheldon looked at him, his face confused. "Don't be ridiculous Howard. Given our considerable height difference the coffee table works far better for that."
At that Howard and Raj shot as far back in their chairs (and away from the offending piece of furniture) as possible. Wordlessly, Leonard immediately began picking up the boxes from the coffee table and placing them back into the bag. It could be another long night.
