Sheldon fixed Penny with a long, unreadable glance for half a minute. "I cannot deny that you are aesthetically pleasing to look at. You do possess the physical characteristics of what they will term a fair maiden."
"Oh? What do you like about me?" Penny inched closer towards him.
Sheldon maintained a metre radius from her. "I suppose... you do have mesmerising blue eyes which rival Amy Farrah Fowler's."
"You mean it?" the alcohol in her system was breaking down slowly but steadily and her senses were becoming sharper, although she didn't really realise it. "Most guys just say I have a hot body."
"If that's what most guys think, I would say that they're superficial. There's obviously more to a person than his or her physical attributes." Sheldon said solemnly.
Now it was Penny's turn to fix him with a long look. Sure, he was tall and gangly, unlike the buff and muscular guys she'd always dated. His hairdo wasn't popular or in-season, and his shirts always had those geeky slogans printed across them. But his clear blue intelligent eyes, his quirky smile and chuckle, the formality in his speech...
....they turned her on.
"Just shut up and kiss me." Penny lunged forwards and let her lips fall onto his.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The first thought that came to Sheldon's mind was so bizarre that he pondered over a moment if he'd grown a brain tumor over the course of one hour while conversing with Penny.
Do it again.
Instead, Sheldon jerked away from her. No, my hormones do not control me. I'm a rational man, a scientist. I'm not a Neantherdal, and I do not sucuumb to my hormones and animalistic urges.
"Penny, you're under the influence of alcohol, please stop this." Sheldon said in the calmest tone possible.
By now, the alcohol in Penny's system had been almost broken down by her liver and her senses were sharper. "What-what's the matter?" she blinked rapidly. "Did I just-?"
"Penny, if you ever try to exact these inappropriate sexual advances on me again, I would not hesitate to strike you off my Friends List."
"What do you mean?"
"You will not be allowed to socialise with me or my friends, and we will exchange a mere hi and goodbye when we pass each other on the hallway every morning to work like strangers." Sheldon stated.
Penny decided it was time to backtrack. "I'm sorry, I just wasn't thinking. It was a mistake, I apologise." she bit her lip. Her heart throbbed with something which felt like pain.
"You should be. And bear in mind that I'm still officially dating Ms Amy Farrah Fowler, and she would not be happy to know about this. So please do not tell anyone about this, not even Leonard, Wolowitz or Koothrappali. Do you hear me?" Sheldon said firmly.
"Yes." Penny nodded numbly.
"I better go back to my apartment and get some rest. Goodnight, Penny."
"Goodnight, Sheldon." Penny mumbled.

'Morning, Leonard." Sheldon said as he shuffled out in his PJ's.
"Morning, Sheldon. I trust you had fun with Penny at her class last night?" Leonard asked.
"It went rather smoothly." Sheldon gave his usual succinct reply.
"I would have thought so." Leonard smiled.
Sheldon turned to stare at his friend curiously. 'I am usually bad at reading expressions, but something tells me you are hiding something from me."
"On the contrary, you're the one hiding something from me." Leonard raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean? I already told you, I hid your action figure behind the uppercase bookshelf, next to the limited edition and signed copy of-"
"No, I mean last night with Penny." Leonard interrupted. "It wasn't just a biology lesson, was it?"
"Sure it was." Sheldon looked perplexed.
"You guys didn't take it to the next level? Like, I don't know... kiss?" Leonard squinted.
"What? No! What a prespertorous theory!" Sheldon exclaimed. "On what logic do you base your assumption on??"
"Nevermind. But I just want to let you know," Leonard said a little shyly, coloring a little. "I kinda like her. So I hope you didn't make any moves on her."
"Of course not, what kind of friend will I be?" Sheldon scoffed.
"And you do have Ms Amy Farrah Fowler." Leonard said hopefully.
"Indeed, I had such a good time with her." Sheldon said happily. "I do wish you all the best in your endeavour of capturing Penny's heart."
"Thanks buddy." Leonard grinned.
Sheldon felt an unfamiliar and strange feeling rise up his stomach.
Indigestion. I knew we shouldn't have skipped pizza for curry last night! Sheldon shook his head as he dropped his toast onto the plate.
