The year is 2007. The crisp autumn leaves are falling and Sheldon has finally gone back to Texas to visit his mother. Leonard had the whole apartment to himself for once! He could eat all the pizza he wanted without someone complaining and finally finally lie down on the couch. He was gonna relax, kick back, play some Halo and—

He was about to unlock the door to his apartment when he noticed the door opposite his open with a few moving boxes propped against it. He stepped away from his door and hesitantly walked towards the newly furnished apartment. Did he have a new neighbour?

He paused once he saw the new tenant step into view and… jih doq(‘oh my god in Klingon), they were gorgeous.
