“Why?”

He doesn’t appear to be asking to be an ass; he looks truly perplexed.

She can’t tell if that means he doesn’t find her attractive or thinks that she’s attractive regardless of the attire.

She definitely doesn’t want to ask that question.

-- One of the things I can always depend on you for when you write fanfic is that you get right to the heart of the matter without negatively affecting the story or the characterisation. Which I frakking love so much I can't express it in words.

He sits tentatively on the edge, like his own bed might bite him. It’s funny to watch him, shifting and ramrod straight, his thigh six inches from her feet, and after a moment she sits up and pulls at his arm. He goes down easy. She’s pretty freaking strong when she wants to be and he’s not much of a fighter, at least with her.
“Penny?” He questions, tentative. They’re side by side on the bed, enough space between them that it doesn’t feel intimate. It just feels nice.
“Just fifteen minutes, Sheldon.”
“But it’s been six already.”

-- SO IN CHARACTER.

-- Great job, I hope you've written more for this pairing. xx Dulce
