As they rifled through the new comic books the guys were arguing over which superhero would win in a feat of strength. Sheldon was getting irritated that his friends kept arguing, when he clearly had the winning argument.
Really though, the clear winner would be Professor Xavier from Marvel's X-Men. He would beat any superhero without having to lift a finger. So what if it was a "feat of strength"; the mind of a very strong and powerful tool.
He decided to leave the argument, having been the one who was right and decided to peruse the graphic novels section. The newest edition of Akira was supposed to be in today and Sheldon hated having an incomplete collection.
Raj made his way over to Sheldon who was out of ear shot of their other two friends. He gave him a small jab in the back which made Sheldon jump. He spun around and narrowed his eyes. Raj weakly smiled.
"Sorry, dude. I was just curious about what happened with Penny. Are you guys together now, or what?" Raj curiously asked. Sheldon felt uncomfortable discussing this out in the open with his friends in such close proximity.
"Well, we talked and I suppose you could say that we're dating." He said with a small smile.
"Who's dating?" Howard asked as he meandered his way over to them. Sheldon shot Raj a cold glare. He knew he shouldn't have said anything, now he was going to have to spill the beans, so to speak. Raj quickly interjected.
"Sheldon was just telling me about the guy Penny is seeing." Raj said, pleased with how ambiguous he made the statement sound. Now Sheldon would only have to stretch the truth and speak vaguely.
"Yes, well. He's tall, good looking and smart, but that's all I know." Sheldon simply stated.
"Who is Penny dating?" Leonard asked. He was a little curious and tried to hide his jealousy. Sheldon shook his head at his roommate. He was currently in a relationship with Priya and still he was concerning himself with Penny's business. Sheldon's face twitched a bit when Leonard approached them.
"Penny is apparently dating a guy from a romance novel." Howard said as he wiggled his eyebrows at Leonard. Sheldon stood there fuming and did not want to discuss this any further. He didn't like when Howard talked about Penny. He always made her out to be some low-class whore. Sheldon knew differently. He knew that Penny was honest and caring, sure she was a sexual aggressor, but she knew what she wanted.
"Ugh, who cares?" Sheldon said dismissively. He wanted to get out of the comic book store as quickly as he could. He felt like he was suffocating.
He started toward the register, paid for his things and walked out the door. Howard and Leonard looked at Raj who was wide eyed. He looked at his watch and they should be leaving anyways to get to Halo on time.
"Oh-kay… well, I'm just gonna…" Raj stammered as he pointed toward the cash register.
oOoOoOoOoOoOo
The drive back to the apartment was uneventful. Sheldon stared out the car window praying to a deity that probably did not exist to end this night quickly. He wasn't listening to what they were talking about because he was so furious.
He didn't even want to play Halo with them, but the thought of deviating from his routine made him queasy. He would just have to take his frustration out on them virtually. Howard was going to get the worst of it.
"Hello… earth to Sheldon… is anyone home?" Leonard said. Sheldon looked over at him and realized that they were parked.
"Are you coming, buddy?" Leonard asked, genuinely concerned for his friend.
Sheldon huffed and followed them into the building and up the stairs. When they reached their apartment, he excused himself to grab Penny. He closed his apartment door and walked over to hers. He stood in front of her door and knocked.
She answered, still wearing that red tank top, and smiled at him. He gave her a quick smile back and then grabbed her hand. She rose up on her tiptoes to give him a quick peck, but she was suddenly being dragged across the hall.
"C'mon Penny, you're on my team." He said as he led her into his apartment. He took his seat and she sat down beside him.
"I call Penny!" Howard shouted. Sheldon glared at him and gave a condescending smirk.
"I hardly think so, Walowitz. Penny has agreed to be on my team tonight. Prepare to meet your maker." Sheldon smugly said. He glanced over at Penny and she smiled at him. She was delighted to take part in the destruction of Howard.
They played a few rounds and Sheldon started to feel better after the 17th time he killed Howard's character right after re-spawning. When Sheldon and Penny were on a team it was bad, but their kill count was through the roof. They showed no mercy to anyone who stood in their way. Together they were unstoppable.
After being pummeled by opposing forces, Howard decided to take the actions directed toward him in Halo as a hint. He left with Raj and that left Leonard, Sheldon and Penny sitting on the couch.
"So, Penny, Sheldon told us that you were dating someone." Leonard abruptly said. She looked over at him with an open mouth. What was she supposed to say? She glanced back at Sheldon who avoided her gaze all together. She smiled and briefly touched his thigh which made him jump.
"Oh yeah, I guess I am." She replied shortly, not really wanting to discuss her love life with Leonard. He pushed up his glasses and looked down his nose at her. She smiled at him. She was taught to "kill 'em with kindness".
"How's Priya, Leonard? You guys seem to be spending quite a bit of time together." She said warmly and continued. "Is it getting serious?" She asked, not really interested in the answer.
Leonard didn't like how she was acting. He furrowed his eyebrows at her and got up off of the couch. He moved to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water. He opened it and took a big swig. He walked to the hallway and turned around.
"It's getting late, I'm going to turn in. Sheldon, don't stay up past your bed time, you have to work in the morning and I'm not waiting around for you." He said as he turned on his heel and stalked off to his bedroom.
Penny looked at Sheldon who was practically vibrating in his seat because he was so uncomfortable. He met her gaze when she placed her hand on his forearm. Her touch was comforting and he relaxed under her hand.
"Penny, this is exactly what I didn't want. I'm just so frustrated." He said with a soft sigh.
"Sheldon, don't let him ruin this. I don't care what he thinks. He's an ass who thinks that if he can't have me, no one can. Well, he's wrong." She said. He moved his arm and grasped her hand. She was right. Leonard was pre-occupied. He moved on and so did she. He had always been jealous of him. He was taller, smarter and he could eat all the dairy that he wanted.
Sheldon gave penny a quick kiss on the lips. He was amazed by how quickly she calmed him down. She stood up and dropped his hand.
"I'm going to go. Are you going to be okay?" She asked. He nodded and walked her out the door. He bent down and gave her a kiss on the forehead.
"Good night, Penny." He said with a smile. He watched her retire to her apartment before he locked the door and turned out the lights.
He didn't even realize that he was banging on Leonard's door before he came face to face with him. He meant to go to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. Leonard was fuming. He looked up at Sheldon because they were standing toe-to-toe.
After an uncomfortable stare down, Leonard moved past Sheldon and back out into the kitchen. He flicked on all the lights and stared at Sheldon as he walked around the island.
"Leonard, it was cowardly of me to not be, upfront with you, so to speak. I-" Sheldon was cut off by Leonard.
"WHY IS IT PENNY?" He yelled. "Why Sheldon? You could have had anyone else. Let's see, there was Ramona, Little Lolita, and what about Amy? Why do you have to prove you're better than me by dangling her in front of me?" He shouted with tears in his eyes. Sheldon felt his mouth go dry. He had to logically explain this to Leonard, but there was no logic when emotions were involved. He wouldn't have known that if he weren't in the predicament he found himself in.
"Leonard, I don't understand why you are so upset. Penny and I have forged a bond that has been solidified by years of friendship. She is the most logical-" Leonard cut him off again.
"Most logical? Are you even listening to yourself? You sound like a crazy person!" Leonard yelled across the kitchen at his roommate.
Sheldon's face ticked and he balled his hands into fists. He held his breath so he would calm down. He tried to count back from ten, but his brain went into over drive.
"Leonard, I think I'm falling in love with her. I don't know what to do, and the one person who I thought would be happy for me is acting like a… Like a total asshole!" He shouted back.
Sheldon never quite understood the statement "falling in love" until he said it and meant it. He could only hope that she would be there for him to break his fall. He stormed out of the apartment and strode over to Penny, leaving a gaping Leonard behind in his dust.
