Sheldon walked into the kitchen and began making tea. Penny quickly followed behind him, taking a seat at the island. She nervously watched as he filled the kettle with water and placed it on the stove. Penny was trying to think about what he could possibly want to talk to her about. Maybe it wasn't going to be as bad as she thought it was. Sheldon turned his attention toward her and he cleared his throat as he clasped his hands behind his back. Classic Sheldon stance.
"Penny, as you know, my life is governed by a set routine and a certain set of guidelines, one of those guidelines, being the Roommate Agreement that I entered with Leonard. The agreement clearly states that 'A girlfriend shall be deemed 'living with', when she has stayed over for (a): ten consecutive nights or (b) more than nine nights in a three week period or (c) all the weekends of a given month plus three weeknights.'" Sheldon started. Penny picked through his long winded sentence but before she could grasp his point he continued.
"This brings me to my point of inquiry, as this will be your twelfth consecutive night here, do you feel as though you're living with me?" Sheldon sheepishly asked. Penny smiled, a wave of relief washed over her. She quickly got up off of the bar stool and wrapped her arms around his midsection. Her head pressed against his chest and she hugged him tight.
"Sheldon, is that something you're worried about? That I'm going to take over your scheduled life and muck everything up?" Penny asked against his chest. Sheldon pulled away from her, looking into her eyes. He quickly shook his head and left her embrace to take the squealing kettle off of the burner.
"No, I'm not worried about that happening. Though I won't deny that the thought crossed my mind, I was actually trying to gauge your interest in the premise of my question." He stated pouring the hot water into two mugs. Penny hated the way he talked sometimes, why couldn't he just say, 'Hey Penny, I think you're great and you should move in.'?"
"Sheldon, are you asking me to move in with you?" Penny asked as a smile slowly snuck onto her face. He set down the mug of tea in front of her and smiled back. Her heart skipped a beat at the thought of moving her relationship with him to the next level. She had spent the past five years on her own and she finally felt like she was at the right point in her life and with the right guy, she never thought she would be so eager to commit herself to someone.
"Penny I'm asking you to move in with me." Sheldon confirmed. Penny's eyes lit up and she flung her arms around his neck pulling him into a tight embrace. His arms encircled her waist, hugging her back. Penny pulled away and planted a soft kiss on his cheek.
"What about Leonard?" Penny quickly asked. She knew that Leonard was going to move out, Amy had confirmed that fact just mere hours ago. Sheldon ended their embrace and took a sip from his mug of hot tea. Penny wrapped her hands around her warm mug and let the heat slowly scald her hands.
"What about Leonard? As far as the roommate agreement is concerned, he terminated his obligation to the contract on the tenth consecutive night he spent at Amy Farrah Fowlers. As far as I'm concerned Leonard has for all intents and purposes, moved out." Sheldon replied. Penny looked away from his gaze, she didn't want to reveal what she knew about Leonard's plans. She smiled into her mug as she took a sip of her peppermint tea. She was about to say yes to moving in with Sheldon Cooper and she couldn't be happier.
"Sheldon, I would love to move in with you." Penny softly said, as she reassuringly touched his forearm. Penny finished her tea and rinsed her mug in the sink. Sheldon smiled down at her as he took a few steps toward his laptop.
"Good, I'm glad that's settled, now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to get started on the parameters of our agreement." Sheldon concluded as he took a few more steps toward his computer desk. Penny stood in the kitchen perplexed. There was no way in hell that she was going to agree to Sheldon's crazy terms and conditions. She didn't even read the agreement she entered into with iTunes.
"Wait, wait, wait." Penny started.
"What, what, what?" Sheldon parroted back as he turned around to face her. Penny furrowed her brow and defensively folded her arms across her chest.
"Sheldon, I'm not signing a Roommate Agreement." Penny factually stated. Sheldon smirked.
"Penny, I'm not going to propose a Roommate Agreement, as you are much more than that. I am going to propose a Cohabitation Agreement." Sheldon told her while he folded his arms across his broad chest. Penny rolled her eyes at him and shifted her weight onto one foot.
"I'm not signing any agreement." Penny said, trying to solidify her statement. She was not going to knuckle under.
"Agreements are usually put into place to protect both parties' interests, and I can assure you that your input will be just as important as mine." Sheldon said trying to reassure her, she wasn't impressed.
"I told you Sheldon, I'm not signing your stupid contract, so lay off." Penny warned. Sheldon scoffed. Penny felt her annoyance with the situation shoot through the roof. Was her boyfriend suddenly hard of hearing?
"It's not stupid, Penny, it's necessary." Sheldon sternly retorted. Penny gritted her teeth together.
"You're such a typical Taurus, you know that? You can't see past your own bull-headedness! Y'know what? You have fun drawing up your little agreement, but I am not signing it." Penny said as she huffed and walked out of his apartment. Luckily, she wasn't a stickler for locking her door. She sat on her couch in her robe and fumed. After her last fight with Sheldon, she got rid of all of the alcohol in her house. Seeing just how crazy she got last time made her re-evaluate her dependency on alcohol. She didn't need to repeat what happened last time. Instead of drinking, Penny picked up a pink pad of paper from her coffee table and began to write and re-write her own stupid contract.
The Terms and Conditions in This Agreement Shall… Penny looked at the ridiculousness of the sentence and tore the paper from the pad and crumpled it in her fist. After tossing it behind the sofa, she tried again.
The Cohabitation Agreement.
This agreement will be
Penny ripped the paper from the pad and ripped it up. She needed to speak from the heart, rather than trying to speak Sheldonese. If she just put her intentions out there, maybe it would be good enough for him. Penny looked at the paper and started to write.
I, Penny Marie Davis, promise to:
-Clean up after myself.
-Make an effort to adhere to Sheldon's schedule, when I can.
-Never go to bed angry.
-Always have an open line of communication with Sheldon Lee Cooper.
After signing on the dotted line she provided for herself, she got up and retrieved an envelope from her messy kitchen island. She neatly wrote Sheldon's name on the front of the envelope and sealed it shut. Instantly, she felt better, but also simultaneously worse. She felt good because she felt like she could give Sheldon what he wanted without giving into his crazy. She felt bad because of the way she over reacted in his apartment. A sigh escaped her as she placed the envelope in the pocket of her robe and she walked toward her door. Before she could reach out and touch her door handle, Sheldon's knock sounded through her apartment.
Knock knock knock
"Penny." His soft knocks matched the soft register of his voice.
Knock knock knock
"Penny." He softly said, she was sure that his head was pressed against her door.
Knock knock knock
"Penny." She smiled as she grasped her door handle.
oOoOoOoOoOo
Sheldon jumped as he listened to the sound of his front door slamming. Penny had just walked out and he was left standing alone in his kitchen flabbergasted. He played with the string that was attached to the tea bag that was floating around in his mug.
"I can't be a typical Taurus, because I don't put stock into hokum beliefs such as astrology!" Sheldon shouted at Penny, even though she wasn't there to hear his ill-timed retort. He huffed and turned on his heel. His thoughts were invaded by Penny's distaste for agreements as he stalked toward his room. Sheldon looked at the mess that was left behind.
It looked like a hurricane had passed through, Hurricane Penelope. He couldn't help but think that the mess was what he was agreeing to when he asked Penny to move in. He slipped out of his robe and into his Monday pajamas. He glanced around and began to pick up their clothes off the floor and separate them into a neat little Sheldon and Penny pile. He wondered if he would turn into Penny's personal laundering service. He didn't like that idea, however, he did like the idea of Penny learning how to do laundry to his specifications.
Sheldon quickly picked up the buttons that were scattered on his floor, he couldn't believe how much disregard that woman had. Though when he recalled her ripping off his shirt, the buttons seemed like a nice reminder of the intimate moment they shared. He shrugged it off and placed the buttons on his bed side table. Buttons could always be sewn back on. A sigh escaped his lips, perhaps she was right, perhaps the two of them didn't need an agreement to dictate every aspect of their lives. He and Penny didn't have a Relationship Agreement, and they seemed to make it work. Penny was an unpredictable force like a hurricane, Sheldon was a predictable constant like the weather station, although he would give himself more credit than a simple meteorologist.
That's what made them work. He was everything that she wasn't and she was everything that he didn't know how to be. They could learn from each other and grow as two separate people, but also as a couple. Satisfied with his rationale, Sheldon quickly walked through his apartment and over to Penny's apartment. He leaned his head against her door and quietly knocked for her. After his third round of knocks followed by her name, Penny opened the door. Sheldon looked to the floor and shuffled in his spot.
"I'm sorry, Penny." He softly said. Penny gently grasped his hand and led him into her apartment. Penny sat down on her couch and patted the seat next to her. Sheldon sat down beside her and looked her over. Penny smiled as she reached into the pocket of her robe. She held out an envelope with his name neatly printed on the front. Quickly, he grasped it from her reach.
"What's this?" Sheldon asked while opening the envelope.
"Well, I hate to admit it, but maybe you're right. Maybe we do need some rules, we're two totally different people and I just.. Sheldon, I want this to work so badly. If that means that I have to give a little, I will." Penny said as Sheldon read over her hand written pledge. He looked up from her note and smiled. He was impressed that Penny swallowed her pride and compromised.
"Thank you for compromising, Penny. I actually wanted to make it noted that perhaps I could use a little less structure in my life." He said with a slight twitch of his lip. The idea still made him slightly uncomfortable, but when he reminded himself that Penny would be the ultimate prize to his ultimate sacrifice, he almost welcomed the idea with open arms. Penny smiled and pressed her lips against his in a chaste kiss. He was happy that their spat ended relatively quickly, he strongly disliked conflict and conflict with a very stubborn Penny was worse.
"I'm going to stay here tonight, do you want to sleep over?" Sheldon smiled at her request and then quickly shook his head in response. He got up off her couch and made his way to her door. He touched the door handle and quickly turned around.
"Happy New Year, Penny." Penny smiled and blew him a kiss. Sheldon felt relieved as he left her apartment. Tonight, he would relish in the REM sleep he would be getting without Penny's cold feet rubbing at the side of his calf.
