Sheldon x Leonard

~~~~~

The advantage of possessing an intelligent, rational mind usually meant that Sheldon could easily predict and remember the outcomes of certain stimuli and consequently developed rigorous routines to address unsatisfactory issues. It was true that various social situations baffled Sheldon, but given a few nanoseconds, he could usually formulate a plan for reacting. If his day went like it was supposed to, Sheldon would never have to face unpleasant situations due to his complete control of his environment.

Which is why the tall scientist currently sat in Leonard's chair, observing his friend with piercing eyes. The shorter bespectacled physicist sat on the arm of the chair, absentmindedly picking at a loose thread in his pants with one hand, the other cradling his cell phone to his ear.

"Mmmhmm. Sure. I understand. Yeah," Leonard replied every once in a while to the flat voice on the other end. He couldn't quite remember why he had sat down where he was, and vaguely wondered why his partner wasn't in his usual spot. Suddenly a comment from the receiver snapped him out of his thoughts, eyes widening in alarm.

"Actually, that's not a good time for us. You see..." Leonard started to protest, but trailed off as the other voice cut in, berating him loudly.

"Ok, ok... Yes, I see. Fine," Leonard replied weakly, shaking his head to himself. Goodbyes were stiffly exchanged, and then Leonard snapped his phone closed, leaning back against the chair to expel a sigh.

This is what Sheldon had been waiting for; before Leonard could begin to whine and spew self-pitying sob stories about his relationship with his mother, Sheldon leaned in, capturing his friend's lips with his own. By propping Leonard up on the armrest and placing himself in the seat of the chair, Sheldon had reduced the height difference significantly, allowing the two to engage in amorous activities without the fear of neck pain. Methodical attention was given to the task at hand, nibbling on Leonard's bottom lip before asking for entrance with a flick of the tongue. Granting Sheldon access, Leonard moaned softly as the other's tongue brushed against his. For a few minutes, Leonard's thoughts were occupied solely on Sheldon, leaving all the stress and disappointment from his family behind.

Breathless, Sheldon leaned away, watching as Leonard also drew back with a sated smile on his face. Good. His plan had worked. Not that it ever failed, mind you.

"Don't think I don't know what you're doing," Leonard said lazily. "Using your charm to condition me not to complain about mother..."

"It's not charm, it's sexual persuasion," Sheldon replied indignantly. Just like Leonard to misunderstand a simple fact.

"Mmhmm... tell me, Shelly... what are the odds that both of our mothers would visit us at the same time?" Leonard sighed. He knew he didn't have to relate the conversation he had just had on the phone. Sometimes Sheldon's Vulcan hearing had its advantages. Mrs. Cooper had called two weeks ago to announce her impending visit, but of course Dr. Beverly Hofstadter had no such courtesy. Oh no, the day before was plenty of time to warn her son's roommate and her son that she was stopping by.

Although Leonard proposed the question as a conversational tool, Sheldon's mind leapt to solve it. "Given that there is three-hundred and sixty-five days in the non-leap year period, and the two events are independent... Let's set my mother as variable A and your mother as variable B, we can calculate the probability using the formula P(A) = n(A) / n(S) and P(B) equals....."

Sheldon rattled on, but Leonard ignored him, the stress his friend had distracted him from earlier resurfacing. What exactly were they going to do? His mother and Mrs. Cooper were as different from each other as night and day. No, that wasn't quite right; they were in entirely separate universes, which may or may not experience a set pattern of electromagnetic radiation.
