Sheldon awoke with a lump in his throat and his body ached. His mouth was dry and he felt congested.
"Leonard!" He shouted from his bed. He sat up in his bed and reached into his side table to grab his thermometer. He quickly read his temperature and flopped back down in his bed. He didn't have a fever but he was sure it would soon rear its ugly head. "Leonard! I'm sick!" He yelled into the seemingly empty apartment, hoping his roommate hadn't escaped. He got up and wrapped his comforter around his lanky frame. Feeling a slight head rush, he grasped onto the door frame until the pressure subsided. He continued on his way, shuffling toward Leonard's bedroom. He knocked three times and shouted for his roommate. After his third round of knocks he opened Leonard's door and was met with his perfectly made bed. Sheldon sighed and shuffled toward the living room. He stopped in the kitchen and filled up the kettle with water. He was interrupted with loud banging on his front door. He set the kettle on the stove and walked toward the front door. "Sheldon! Sheldon Cooper, you come unlock this door right now!" Penny yelled through the locked door. 'Good, now I can chastise her for bringing foreign pathogens into my home and infecting me with her corn husking illnesses.' He thought as he unlocked and opened the door. Penny looked like a hot mess, and she had her own comforter wrapped around her body like a gigantic towel. Her hair was messy and she had dark circles under her eyes. She was wearing a pull over Nebraska hoodie that was two sizes too big. Her eyes narrowed at the sight of him in his comforter. "You got me sick Sheldon Cooper!" She snarled at him. "I can't afford to be sick! I lost out on good tips today because I had to call into work sick. I also start school in just over two weeks and I can't afford to miss classes." She huffed as she pushed past him into his apartment. Sheldon closed the door and crossed his arms through his blanket cocoon. "Penny, that is highly unlikely as, in the past, you have always been the one to infect me with your germs. I am glad you are here though because now you can take care of me. The kettle is on the stove, be a lamb and make me a tea?" He retorted as he settled into his spot. She threw her hands up in the air and stomped into the kitchen. Sheldon watched Penny as she prepared their tea. Her movements were sluggish and exaggerated. Her face was flush with colour and her expression was soft. Sheldon always thought she was attractive, but he liked her more when she was just Penny. He liked it when she was with minimal makeup and dressed in jeans and a t-shirt. Not so much today, she looked like a hobo. He smiled at her as she moved slowly toward the couch with their drinks and sat down beside Sheldon. "Here you go Moonpie. One tea for a sick Shelly-bean." She sarcastically said as she looked over at him. He scowled and his right eye twitched as his hands grasped the hot beverage. She flicked on the television and left it on a Firefly re-run. Sheldon squirmed in his seat. He was so uncomfortable and now he couldn't even lie down on the couch. "Penny, will you move over so I can lie down?" He pleaded. "No. I'm not moving. You can just put your legs over me." She huffed. He looked at her skeptically and put on his best pouty face. "Penny, I'm sick. Can't you just move?" He whined. She grabbed his comforter covered legs and draped them over her lap. She could feel his body stiffen. "I'm sick too, Sweetie. Now we're both comfortable and we can finish watching this show." She smiled and turned her attention back to the television. She felt him shuffle into a more comfortable position and she placed her hands on his knees. At first he felt like she was violating him, even though they were both wrapped in comforters, his legs were touching her legs and they were in very close proximity to each other. His mind started to think about the germs, but then quickly rationalized that they were both sick and probably had the same illness so the chances of obtaining any additional sickness-inducing pathogens was minimal. He shifted and grabbed the Vicks Vapo Rub from the end table behind his head. "Penny, will you rub Vicks on my chest?" He held out the jar and she grabbed it from him. She watched as he lifted his shirt and exposed his chest. He was very lean and fit and his stomach was flat. His skin was like soft cream. A few small freckled were peppered over his abdomen. She expected him to be pastier. Her eyes followed the trail of hair from his belly button to the top of his pajama bottoms. "Stop leering, Penny. I won't hesitate to give you a strike, and right now you can't afford another one." He quickly chastised her. She narrowed her eyes at him. "If I rub you down with Vicks, you have to sing Soft Kitty to me." She countered. He rolled his eyes and huffed. Her eyebrows rose up on her forehead and he gave in with a small nod. She opened the container and scooped a glob onto her fingers. As she brought the medicine to Sheldon's chest he quickly stopped her. "Counter clock-wise or my chest hair mats." He reminded her. She smiled, gave a quick nod and proceeded. He stiffened under her touch and then quickly relaxed as her fingers made small, slow circles on his chest. He let out a soft sigh and closed his eyes. With her free hand, she reached for his forehead and placed the back of her hand against his cool skin. In a swift motion she brushed his short hair to the side. The feeling of her hand in his hair was gone as quickly as it came. He opened his eyes and stared into her bright green orbs. He took a deep breath and looked away. "Thank you for taking care of me, Penny. You're the only person who knows how to do it to my specifications." Once more, he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
