Helloooo, I'm back! Writing BBT fan-fiction this time, after all those Naruto ones. I love BBT, and I've watched all the episodes so many times ^^' I am a Shenny supporter for many reasons, but mostly because it's such an unlikely but cute couple :) Hope you enjoy this first short chapter, it's a slight rewrite of "The Pulled Groin Extrapolation", Leonard and Priya never got together, and he is feeling a bit down about the Penny-situation instead.
Romancing a nerd (and a whack-a-doodle)
He'd never seen it coming. He'd always fallen for girls he couldn't have, thee cool ones, the prom queens, the models. And every time he fell in love, he fell harder. When Penny had moved in across the hall, he thought that she was it. The last one he'd ever fall in love with. The one he'd marry some day. But that wasn't meant to be. They'd tried dating, doing the on and off-again relationship. At first he'd blamed himself. He wasn't her type, he was a nerd and a geek through and trough. He'd tried giving it up, but it was a too large of a piece of himself to lose. And if she really loved him, she wouldn't have let him. She just didn't see him for who he was. And perhaps he didn't see her for who she was either. It really was time to move on, and let the thought of them together go, it just wasn't meant to be. Leonard was lying on his bed, hands laced together under his head, staring up into the ceiling. He sat up, suddenly determined. "It may be as big of a cliche as it gets, but this is the first day of the rest of my life! I need to stop obsessing over Penny." he said to himself. "I've told you so a number of times on several different occasions, Leonard." Sheldon was standing in the doorway, barely caring enough to raise an eyebrow at him. Startled, Leonard turned around to look at the tall Texan nuisance. "Can I help you?" he said, feeling a little annoyed at being observed acting more than a little crazy even if it was by Sheldon. "Well there isn't a question of if you can or can't help me, Leonard. Amy is here." Leonard hastily checked his wristwatch and frowned. "Ouch, we're going to be late for the ceremony." He went to the closet to grab his suit jacket, and Amy's corsage.
Amy and Penny were waiting in the living room, talking to each other. Sheldon shuffled over to the coffee table where he had set up his new train set. "Aaw, so handsome! Like James Bond!" Penny exclaimed when she saw Leonard. "Better than James Bond, because he's tinier", Sheldon said with a happy grin. Amy was wearing an outfit of pink and black, putting on her glasses as he turned to her.
Wow, Penny can really do makeup
Leonard thought to himself.
Amy usually didn't wear makeup, her mother claiming it was for "women of sin". But since befriending Penny, she had taken up more interest in clothes and fashion. He held up the corsage he'd bought for her, thinking it would be a nice gesture. "Amy, this is for you." Penny put a hand on his shoulder, stating "Honey, I don't think they wear corsages to weddings. It's more of a prom thing." "I never went to prom, my mother paid my cousin to take me but he spent the money on drugs." Amy stated flatly. "Put the corsage one her" Penny says in a shaky voice. Leonard fumbles with the corsage, trying to attach it to Amy's dress.
Where should it go? Not collarbone, no...That's too high... Woah!
"When you're done cupping a feel that goes on my wrist" she says, eyebrow raised. He hurries to nervously slip it on her wrist instead.
Cupping a feel? I'd never cup a feel! At least not sober... And it's Amy for crying out loud. She's... She's Sheldon's! But she is looking nice tonight... What, wait, no!
While he was having this panicked conversation with himself in his mind, Amy slipped her and into the nook of his arm.
ooooooooooooooo
Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed it. Next chapter, the wedding!
