Disclaimer: I do not own any portion of The Big Bang Theory or its characters. Bill Prady and Chuck Lorre do, and hopefully will give us some delightful innuendos and outuendos from our dear Shamy in the near future.
A/N: Remember, 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 Way Everyone Else Found Out
Bang bang bang… "Sheldon, open up!"
He was headed for the shower when he heard the first knock and Howard's voice. No way was he opening the door to an uninvited Howard Wolowitz at 7:20am on a Saturday. Especially this Saturday.
"We know you're up, Sheldon, Doctor Who is on, but this is more important. Open the door."
Nothing.
Bang bang bang… "Sheldon, it's an emergency!"
The next voice was Raj's. That did it. Was it really an emergency? What could be wrong? Leonard? Penny? They had gone away for the weekend, maybe something had happened. Oh no... Sheldon finally hurried over and pulled the door open.
"What's wrong?" he asked the pair. But their huge grins were enough to let him know no one's life was in danger.
"Didn't you get our texts?" Howard gaped at him. "Why aren't you dressed yet?"
"Uh, no, I haven't check my phone yet today."
Howard looked at him skeptically, Sheldon was always up early to turn on Doctor Who and today was the season finale. Except that the TV wasn't even turned on, he noticed, looking behind him into the apartment.
"Dude, William Shatner is doing a surprise signing at Capitol Comics today starting at 10am, we have to go, NOW!" Raj tried to grab Sheldon by the arm, though he was still in his pajamas. Well, his pajama pants and a white t-shirt in any case.
Sheldon turned quickly to look down the hall, his Vulcan hearing warning him of impending trouble.
"Sorry guys, you'll have to go without me. Thanks for coming by." He tried to push the door shut but the guys were half inside and Howard's foot held it open. He took in Sheldon's strange expression, only now noticing his uncharacteristic state of dress and rumpled hair.
"Man, what's wrong with you? Are you ok? This is Captain KIRK we're talking about…"
"Hey Cuddles, are you joining me in the shower or am I going to have to wash your favorite parts mysel-" Amy froze as soon as she had opened the bathroom door and saw Sheldon standing with the guys. She wore only the top half of Sheldon's pajama set, her glasses and an embarrassed expression.
Sheldon looked from his shocked vixen to his even more shocked friends. Howard and Raj wore identical blank expressions, their minds trying to process this unexpected turn of events. Sheldon took advantage of their uncharacteristic silence to push them ever so slightly backwards, nodding his head to them "Good day, gentlemen," and shutting the door in their faces.
"Dude."
"Yeah."
They remained motionless a moment longer until they heard Sheldon's voice from beyond the door.
"I'll show you what you can wash, little lady!"
"Dr. Cooper!" Amy squealed.
Thirty-two seconds later both men were already down in the lobby.
