Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter were far closer than roommates and friends, they were brothers. Throughout The Big Bang Theory, these two have pushed each other to the limit and tested each other's patience. Sheldon didn't think Leonard made the same sacrifices he did, and Leonard thought Sheldon was impossible to live with. And yet, the two couldn't live without each other.
Leonard wanted more than anything to get out of Sheldon's roommate agreement and start a life with Penny but there was a small part of him that would miss Sheldon. They had subtle moments as best friends that should be appreciated and remembered by fans.

That day, Sheldon took a nap where Professor Proton visited him in his dreams. When he woke up, Leonard was there to check on him and make sure he was okay. In a sweet moment, Sheldon hugged Leonard without saying a word. It was one of those moments that left Leonard (and fans) speechless.

Sheldon and Leonard were on their way to a conference when they realized they weren't that far from Skywalker Ranch. With time to kill, they pulled over to see if they were able to go on the property.

He escaped the car and ran on to the property where he was soon tased by a guard. Sheldon and Leonard were then thrown into a holding cell until they were cleared to leave.

Leonard wasn't really able to sell the lie, but Sheldon had his back either way.

The two friends shared a special moment before the big day where Leonard told Sheldon that he was no longer his problem anymore — he was Amy's problem.

Was there anything more endearing than when Leonard got nose surgery and Sheldon did everything in his power to stop him?

In the third season, Leonard's mom, Beverly, is in town visiting Leonard. Sadly for him, the trip goes sour. It became clearer than ever that he and mom would never have a close relationship. She told more information about their family's ups and downs than to Leonard! After hearing that his parents were divorcing and that his family dog died, Leonard went to his room to sulk. Sheldon knocked on the door and adorably tried to make him feel better. It didn't work the way he expected but it proved that Sheldon truly cared for his friend. "Just remember, Leonard. Where your biological family has failed you, you always have me," Sheldon said.
