Sheldon leaned his weight on his desk in front of his white board staring at an equation. What was he missing? Why didn't this equation work? Why did he stop Penny the other night on the couch? What did this mean for their friendship paradigm? Why was he now thinking about Penny, instead of work?
He capped his red dry erase marker and crossed his arms across his chest. He moved his arm and cupped his chin all the while intently staring at his work. He was going to burn a hole in the board if he didn't blink soon. His thoughts were interrupted by Raj.
"Dude! Are you even listening to me? That neutrino should be a tau neutrino, not an electron neutrino. Where is your head today?"Raj cried. Sheldon had been in his own world all morning and Raj had been talking to him for the past ten minutes, trying to solve the equation with Sheldon.
"Hmmm.. Yes, I suppose that works slightly better." Sheldon agreed as he moved to change the type of neutrino. He looked back at Raj and he looked slightly aggravated. Raj paced in a small circle.
"Stop that, you're making me feel uneasy." Sheldon demanded. Raj stopped in place and turned to his friend. He dropped his crossed arms to his sides and sighed in exasperation.
"Look, you've been spaced out all morning. What is up with you, dude? Did you eat from the wrong end of the fiber scale this morning?" He questioned. Sheldon's face ticked and he crossed his arms again.
"What? No-" He started quickly and was cut off. Raj raised his eyebrows and continued his line of questioning.
"Did someone say something bad about trains?" He said with a serious face. Sheldon threw his arms down to his sides.
"No!" Sheldon replied defensively and frowned. He knew what was wrong with him. He was distracted by a certain blond neighbor of his. Sheldon's face softened and he sat down in his desk chair.
Raj moved to the door and closed it. He pulled his chair over to sit near Sheldon. He could tell that something was wrong. Maybe Leonard opened up one of his collectables. He looked at his friend who was fidgeting in his seat.
"I don't know if you are the best person to be talking to about this, and I would like it to stay between us." Sheldon started seriously and looked at his hands which were folded in his lap. All Raj could do was nod his head in agreement. Sheldon continued.
"Penny and I kissed." He stated, talking into his twisting hands. He looked up at his friend slightly embarrassed. Raj's eyes were wide and his mouth gaped open. Sheldon's eyes narrowed and he wanted to tell him to close his mouth. But he just stared at him waiting for a response.
"Dude! That's… How? What happened?" He stammered.
"I'm not going to go into details about what lead up to the events, as that would be extremely rude. We kissed on two separate occasions and it's all I can think about." Sheldon confessed. It felt good to reveal this secret to someone. He felt relieved that he had someone to confide in. He finally understood the covenant of secret keeping. Well, at least on the secret revealer's part.
There was a quiet knock on the door just before it swung open. Howard and Leonard walked in. Sheldon glanced at his wrist watch and established that they were here to grab them for lunch. Sheldon quickly stood up and moved toward them.
"Rajesh and I are working through lunch and leaving early. He will drive me home at the end of the day. Thank you for coming to pick us up, but we are very busy." Sheldon quickly said as he ushered them out of their shared office.
Howard and Leonard were back in the hallway before they knew it with the door being closed in their faces. Sheldon returned to his desk chair and looked at Raj. He had a look of disappointment, but that expression faded as soon as he realized that he got to talk about Sheldon's personal life. "Totally worth it!' Raj thought to himself.
"Okay, so you and Penny kissed-" Raj started.
"Twice." Sheldon interrupted. Raj rolled his eyes quickly.
"Twice. So how do you feel about it? I mean either you liked it or you wanted to drink a bottle of disinfectant." Raj finished. Sheldon took a moment to recall both times they kissed and he was very sure that he didn't want to drink disinfectant. At first he was concerned about the pathogens that he could become infected with, but soon that thought was replaced with all of the new and wonderful sensations. He hadn't even thought about the contamination until just now.
"Well, I suppose I didn't not like it. I just always thought I was better than giving into those urges. Perhaps I am worried that I will become so consumed with them that I will lose focus and then what? It would have been all for nothing. I wouldn't have the Nobel and I don't know if it's worth it." Sheldon said slightly worried at the thought of losing the Nobel Prize. He had spent the better part of a decade working toward that goal.
"Trust me dude, it's worth it." Raj countered. His face was soft and reassuring. Raj had always sensed the chemistry between Sheldon and Penny. The romantic side of him always wanted them to get together. He smiled and moved his chair back to his desk. Sheldon was quiet, taking Raj's advice, if you could call it that, into consideration.
"So can we go for lunch now?" Raj asked. Sheldon looked at him, stood up and walked over to his white board.
"No, we're working through lunch and you're driving me home afterward." He reminded him.
Raj slumped into his chair, spun it around in a full circle, and joined Sheldon at the white board.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
It was late afternoon when Penny got back home from her second class. It was Wednesday which meant it was new comic books and Halo. She worked on some reading for the next class and tidying her apartment. She didn't have to work until Saturday, as she had cut down her hours at work to Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings.
The water in her sink was warm and full of apple scented bubbles. Sheldon would be proud. She had kept her apartment relatively clean since he had picked up after her. She finished doing the dishes and dried her hands.
Her hamper was full of laundry because instead of doing it on Saturday, she was kissing Sheldon. After years of being so imbedded into his routine, it was hard to get away from him. She didn't really want that though, she just wanted to be with him. Filling up her basket with some clothes, she walked down to the laundry room and filled up a washer with her clothes and detergent.
Perhaps Sheldon could teach her how to properly do this mundane chore. It was always so much better with him than doing it alone. She smiled to herself as she hopped on top of the washer. 'Admit it to yourself at least.' She thought. The way he made her feel, the way she couldn't get him out of her head, and the way he kissed her made her feel amazing.
"I'm smitten." She quietly confessed to herself. She ran her hand through her hair and her grin got bigger. Her abdomen filled with butterflies and she gently pulled her hair over her face.
"I'm smitten, Sheldon Cooper!" She said a little louder and giggled at her confession.
Her phone buzzed in her pocket and she pulled it out of her pocket. 'Speak of the Devil' she thought as she opened the text from Dr. Cooper. She smirked quickly at the thought of calling him Dr. in bed.
"Hello, Penny. I was hoping that we could quickly speak before Leonard, Raj, Howard and I venture to the comic book store. – Sheldon Cooper, B.S. M.S. M.A. Ph.D. Sc.D."
'What a weirdo! Who signs off their texts like that?' She thought as she chuckled to herself. Her brain quickly realized that he was telling her that "They need to talk". Her stomach felt like it was trying to digest a brick and her heart started pounding in her throat. She could picture it, him telling her that she crossed the line and that she was banished from the apartment forever and there were no classes that she could take to rectify the situation.
She took a few short and quick breaths. 'Don't hyperventilate! Just take in a couple deep breaths.' She thought as she steadied her breathing. She held her phone at chest level and began to text back. Her hands were shaking, so she pressed her wrists to her breasts to steady them.
"Hey! Yea. We can talk. C U after wrk."
Her thumb hovered over the send button. She just had to man up and do it. So what if he was going to reject her. At least she wasn't so far into this that she would be incapacitated for a week. She quickly pressed the send button and clutched her phone to her chest. She closed her eyes and let out a steady breath. Her phone quickly buzzed in her hands and she looked at the screen.
"Good! I will be home within the next half hour to forty-five minutes, depending on traffic conditions. You're lucky I haven't left work yet. I am going to bring you a dictionary, as you have effectively butchered the English language. See you soon. – Sheldon Cooper, B.S. M.S. M.A. Ph.D. Sc.D."
Thirty minutes? Penny quickly hopped off the washer and ran up to her apartment. Maybe if she fixed herself up a bit he would change his mind. Why was she so certain that this was going to end badly? She changed into a top that revealed a bit more of the girls and showed off a little sliver of mid-riff.
