Sheldon sat in the living room on his spot on the couch and watched Billy, fascinated.

Billy was just staring at the laundry. He had been for a few hours now. Sheldon make another note in his book.

"Okay, I have to ask, why are you staring at the laundry? Do you hope to make it explode with your brain?" he asked.

	Billy blinked, looking over at Sheldon. "Oh. Hey." How long had he been sitting here? "Uh, no, I just - I usually do laundry on Wednesdays," he said. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"Well that is good, because if you were, your technique is off," he said. "You need to be more like this," he said, putting his hands on his head and demonstrating how to try to make something explode with your brain. "Wednesday is halo night. I normally do my laundry every Saturday night at 8.15," he said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Billy nodded. "Right. I'll make a note of that," he said, a little sarcastically. "I do laundry on Saturdays too," Billy sighed. "Usually around 11AM. Wednesdays it's the afternoon, mostly..." But he couldn't bring himself to go today. What if she was there and didn't want to see him? What if she wasn't there at all? He didn't know which would be worse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That sounds like a good idea," he said, not getting that Billy was being sarcastic. "And you're still here?" he asked, mildly horrified that Billy had broken his routine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Billy stared at him for a second. That had gone right over his head. Okay... Billy nodded. "Yeah, I - I don't know whether I should go or not. See, Penny does laundry then, too. It's how we met, and ... it's kinda a thing we had." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_bazinga 2010-03-03 10:37 pm UTC (link)
	"A thing you had?" Sheldon asked in confusion. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lovetheair 2010-03-03 11:10 pm UTC (link)
	"It was something we did together, we'd bring coffee and talk, and stuff. Like a date," he said. "We were laundry buddies." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_bazinga 2010-03-03 11:15 pm UTC (link)
	"Like a date?" he asked. "How can it be like a date? Surely it is either a date or it's not," he said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lovetheair 2010-03-04 12:36 am UTC (link)
	"Well, when we first started meeting there we weren't dating. We were just friends. It kinda... grew into dating," he said, shrugging slightly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_bazinga 2010-03-04 01:51 pm UTC (link)
	Grew into dating? Oh, did you know that apparently three dates means coitus. Date the social convention, not the dried fruit. Have you and Penny had three dates yet?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lovetheair 2010-03-04 02:33 pm UTC (link)
	Billy raised his eyebrow. "Automatically?" he asked. "Um, I guess we did, if you count the laundry. More than three. But, um, we never ... You know..." he trailed off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_bazinga 2010-03-04 02:38 pm UTC (link)
	"Apparently," Sheldon answered. "Copulated," he finished for him. "It did take Leonard two years to copulate with his Penny. Then again for them, that was probably three dates." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lovetheair 2010-03-04 04:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh." He nodded, though that word was kinda gross and technical. "Yeah, I kinda didn't want it to move too fast. And especially since - since she didn't know about the Dr Horrible thing." And now they'd probably never get to. God, this was depressing. "You know, I'll just go tomorrow," he sighed, looking at his laundry. "And find a new laundromat." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh no. You can't just give up your routine like that. What happens to what you normally do on Thursday then?" Penny, after talking to Brooke, decided she needed to talk to Billy. She walked over to his apartment and knocked on the door. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Billy shrugged. "I'll.. do it Wednesday?"

He heard the knock and got to his feet, walking over to answer the door.

"I can't go there today, though. I mean, what if I get there, and I see-"

He paused because he'd opened the door. And she was there.

"Penny," he breathed, stomach clenching. She was here. Why was she here? That had to be good, right?

She looked so amazing.

He blinked. "Uh, hi," he said.

Sheldon shook his head, horrified at the prospect of him doing something he'd normally do on Thursday on a Wednesday.

"Hi Billy," she said, giving him a small smile.

Sheldon looked over at them and noticed Billy blinking more than before.

"I noticed that you seem to be blinking a lot. Your eyes are probably dry. I'd recommend optrex to rehydrate your eyes," he said.

Billy stared at her for a couple of seconds, wanting to say a million different things but not sure if he should say any of them.

Sheldon's voice shook him out of his daze and he blinked, and then paused, realising what Sheldon had just said. Was he blinking more? Okay, now he was super aware of that.

"Uhh, come in," he said, stepping aside.

"Uhm, Penny, this is Sheldon, he's my new roommate. Sheldon, this is Penny."

He blinked again. Damnit, why had Sheldon pointed that out?

	She walked inside and smiled at Sheldon. "Hi Sheldon, nice to meet you," she said, giving him a smile. "Thank you. And it's Dr Sheldon Cooper," he said. "Okay, nice to meet you, Dr Sheldon Cooper," she said. He looked over at Billy. "Well, she seems a much more acceptable Penny to Leonard's." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Billy looked at Sheldon. Well, he didn't seem to like Leonard's Penny, so that was a compliment. He gave Sheldon a small smile.

He blinked - he had to stop doing that - and looked at Penny. Why was she here? She obviously wanted to talk to him about something, but what? He really wanted to hope it was a good thing, but he didn't know if he should.

Whatever she had to say, she wasn't going to say it with Sheldon here. He gave him a look, really hoping he'd get the hint and give them some space to talk.

	Sheldon looked back at Billy before taking a seat on the couch, not getting Billy's hint. Penny looked at Billy and gave him a small smile. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Billy returned the smile, nervously.

He glanced back at Sheldon, he was sitting down. Of course he didn't get the hint, Billy should have known he wouldned.

He blinked. "Um, we could - um, go to my room," he said. He walked over to the door and paused, it was probably a mess.

"Actually, can you just - just give me one sec," he said.

He gave her a nervous smile and blinked before he opened the door to his room, ducking inside and throwing the sheets on the bed, gathering up his clothes and shoving them in the closet.

He opened the door when he was done. It wasn't perfect, but it was neater than before.

"Sorry," he said, stepping aside to let her come in.

He was a little breathless from the frantic tidying, and also because Penny was in his bedroom, and that was kind of ... terrifying.

	"Sure," she said, softly. She waited and stepped into the room when he came back in. "I should have called over sooner, I know. It was just... well a big shock." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lovetheair 2010-03-08 01:46 pm UTC (link)
	He shook his head. "No, it's fine," he said. "Of course it was, I didn't - I didn't expect you to come by." He looked at her. She was so beautiful. "I'm sorry," he said. "I'm so sorry I kept it from you and I didn't tell you sooner. I should have. And it's completely fine if you never want to see me again, I get that. It's okay." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lostnlonely 2010-03-08 02:00 pm UTC (link)
	"It's alright," she said. "You told me in the end." She took a step closer to him. "It's not okay," she said, quietly. She hadn't stopped thinking about him since he'd told her and it wasn't Dr Horrible she'd thought about. It was Billy. Her Billy. "I'm still not sure I understand it. But I need to know something. Can you still be my Billy?" she asked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He looked at her when she stepped closer.

"Yeah," he said. "Of course - I am your Billy. I'm - All of that was true, everything I told you. About liking you but not being able to work up the courage to talk to you..."

He sighed and glanced down. "I actually - I thought you'd be impressed by Dr Horrible. That if I became someone, you'd notice me, and-" He sighed.

He swallowed, looking up at her. "I'm really sorry. But I really do care about you. I l - I like you, a lot. I don't ever want to hurt you, and I'm so sorry I did..."
