The whole friend group was at Leonard and Sheldon's apartment for the evening. There was a heavy winter storm going on outside, so Bernadette had made hot chocolate while you ate dinner. You were having fun, despite only knowing the group for a few weeks. Penny, Amy, and Bernadette were already asking you to join girls night.

As dinner was winding down and the conversations turned more relaxed, you noticed Leonard getting increasingly cuddly. That wasn't odd, exactly. Your boyfriend was always very physically affectionate. But this wasn't just cuddling, it was more like he was trying to burrow his way into you.

You knew that openly asking what was wrong in front of his friends would embarrass him. So you opted for rubbing his back as a silent acknowledgement. Your eyes found his mug next to yours on the coffee table with some hot chocolate still inside and figured it out. Bernadette had made the hot chocolate with milk.
