Drabble: "Watching" (Big Bang Theory, Gen)

[afullmargin]

Stuart watches them from behind the counter, arguing semantics over back issues; who was the best Green Lantern – Alan Scott, of course… everyone knows that even though she likes Hal Jordan better because he was in the movie and played by Ryan Reynolds – and he realizes that despite their differences they’re happy. He’s just another geek in a comic shop and yet there’s this beautiful girl with him that he doesn’t appreciate nearly as much as she deserves. A woman like that is a treasure.

How in the hell did this happen?

And why doesn’t it ever happen to him?
