I wanted to do this:
But I don't know the best thing to do here now, no node in middle to connect:
Sorry if this is a too stupid question! :D

Re: How to connect this properly?
OK, I finally found an easy way to do that accurately.
I just had to use guides.
--
1.Set up the guide lines:
2.Draw the first part, connect to intersection guide lines:
3.Draw the second part, connect to intersection guide lines:
4.Paint with your color:

5.You may find this undesirable thing on the middle:
To fix that just remove the stroke of both objects:
Or make the stroke round, on stroke style options:
I could also use this method to raise the vertical line exactly from the middle. Simple.
If you have better solutions, please reply! I want to hear them.
Thank you!

Hi.
You can set up an axonometric grid at thedocument settings (Shift+Ctrl+D) that might help if you want to draw parallel lines to those segments -if they are going at even angles.
If you use guide lines, one could fit the needs:
drag (from the left ruler) and snap it to the node in the middle, then duplicate the original path, snap one of it's end nodes to the guide line and delete the other.
Maybe split the middle node to two and break apart the original path.
Also possible without using any guidelines:
duplicate original path, and move it vertically -either by the arrow keys, or by mouse while holding Ctrl.
Then, snap one of the duplicant's end nodes to the original's middle node and delete the other.
Drawing it from scratch, the pen tool could take a good use.
Holding Ctrl would ensure the segment to be vertical.
(Don't know why did you use the pencil tool instead the pen tool, though it works here as well.
And I just didn't get the filling part. Is this supposed to be something for a filled corner of a 3D box?)

Re: How to connect this properly?
Thanks for the tips, Lazur URH! You have told many things I did not know about.
I only use the pencil tool. Should I use the pen tool instead?
I thought it could be a house or something.

Pencil is freehand -if you want to draw paths node by nodes, use the pen tool.
For a filled image, other aspect to consider is the rendering and anti-aliasing.
Meaning, that if objects are placed next to eachother side by side, there is usually a small gap displayed in between.
Only a few exceptions can prevent that issue show up, like drawing aligned to the pixel grid, only horizontal and vertical segments; setting right zoom level/export area and resolution.
A way to solve this is to hide the objects behind a stroke.
Or, to draw the shapes as one overlapping the other.
Here I should note that double segments/segments aligned on top of eachother, if the fills are not next to eachother but on top, also produces the same rendering issue. If the fills have a different colour, on the edge an averaged colour can appear; if they have only strokes but no fills, the segments appear thicker.
Can be tricky if you want to make a crystal sharp looking image sometimes.
Here are some examples:

If those were four paths, then yes.
