Sheldon wakes up in his bed he looks next to him half expecting Amy to be there but that was weeks ago that he had her spend the night. It had been a mistake to allow her to sleep in his bed, he had been sick and his defenses were down. Not that the experience was bad he had actually found it to be quite a fascinating experiment. What he did not like was how long he had watched her sleep looking at the way her hair fell on his pillow, how her eyes looked so sweet without her glasses on, how much he liked the way she looked wearing his T-shirt.
Then worrying about how he was going to fit the shirt back in the rotation now that it had to be washed. In the end he decided to let her keep the shirt as a thank you for taking care of him. Mostly because he could not think of any other way the shirt could fit back in the rotation logically and partly because he liked thinking of her in the shirt.
Another side effect of their impromptu slumber party was ever since that night he had been have reoccurring dreams about her. Some were quite boring just him walking into Amy's lab and then noticing how the florescent lighting makes her shine like she has as a halo. Some of the dreams are a bit more saucy than he is used to having, kissing her on the train again but the kiss going on much longer. In his last dream Amy had been chained up to a wall in Princess Leia s gold bikini and he dressed as Han Solo come and rescued her. That could be a Halloween costume idea he thought getting out of bed.
What was that vixen doing to him that she was now the first thought that he had in the morning. My brain has much more important things to think about he chided himself.
Then he noticed something else that made him feel uncomfortable, all the blood he needed flowing to his brain was currently flowing elsewhere. This had been happening since he was a young boy, he would beat a video game or solve an equation and it would go up. He had taught himself the Vulcan art of kulinar though and whenever this unfortunate side effect of being male occurred he would thing about other things until it went away.
"Alright" he told himself let's invoke the art of kulinar and he tried to think about trains and nothing happened. OK then trains is proving to be too stimulating he thought then he tried thinking about an equation he was trying to solve at work the other day but then one of the symbols morphed into a lighting bolt the one on his flash shirt and the flash shirt was on Amy Farrah Fowler laying in his bed.
"Damn it woman!" he said aloud looking down at his stubborn member he really had to use the restroom so he wrapped his robe tightly around himself himself and sprinted down the hall hoping Leonard or worse Penny was up yet. It was hard to get a good angle to pee. He stayed in the bathroom much longer than usual with no change in his situation. Then he heard Leonard knocking on the door.
"Sheldon you OK? You have been in there awhile buddy."
"I am fine just fine now go away please."
"Are you sure you are OK it is past 8:15"
"I know when I am supposed to vacate my bowels! Do not come in here Leonard!" Sheldon says an edge of panic to his voice. The uncomfortable conversation had down its trick though as as and Sheldon could now leave the restroom.
"What never seen a man with a shy bladder before!" he shouts at Leonard as he makes his way back to his bedroom. He is way off schedule and it is making him extremely uncomfortable. Must get dressed he scolds himself. Amy is not even here yet she had derailed his entire morning. He picks up Tuesday outfit "Oh God!" he exclaims it is his other flash shirt. He considers changing his shirt and choosing one from out of the rotation but just the thought of that makes his brain itch.
As he looks at the shirt he yet again sees an image of Amy this time of just before she bathed him that night the way her eyes took him in and how it made him feel. Then the unfortunate situation arises again and he is back to square one. He trues to remember what he used to do before he perfected kulinar when these things occurred.
"Sheldon! you are going to be late, what has gotten into you." He gets dressed hastily and throws his messenger bag in front of himself.
"I do not know why you are shrieking at me through the door what is your rush."
"What is my rush! I have been driving you to work every day for seven years and we leave the house at exactly 8:45 every day or you have a panic attack."
"I have changed Leonard, life riding the rails as taught me to let things flow." Leonard looks at him skeptical but just sighs and Sheldon walks walks out of the door and Leonard follows him.
In the car Sheldon is unusually quiet, Leonard would be thrilled by the silence but his friends odd behavior worries him.
"You are being awfully quiet."
"I am thinking."
"About?"
"Leonard do you believe that the things that happen in science fiction could really happen in real life?"
"For the last time Sheldon you just had a stomach ache there is not an alien growing inside of you."
"No, not that, that turned out just to be excess gas. No what I was speaking about is something that affected ."
"What are you talking about?"
"Remember when Spock's blood boiled with mating lust and he had to mate every seven years."
"Pon Farr,yeah I know, Sheldon are you saying that you feel you are Vulcan and experiencing pon Farr?"
"It is the only reasonable conclusion that I can draw from the symptoms I have been having."
"Sheldon the only reasonable explanation is that you are insane."
"I am not crazy…"
"Your mother had you tested I know! Without going into to much detail what symptoms gave you been having?"
"Well I have been having these vivid and enjoyable dreams about Amy, and this morning I woke up I had, well let's just say my dreams induced a physiological reaction I was not prepared for." Leonard gives him a grossed out look and shakes his head.
"You did read that book we gave you right?" Sheldon shakes his head yes
"Then you know that you are not Vulcan, you blood is not boiling with mating lust. What is happening is that your body is telling you that you are ready for a physical relationship with Amy even if your brain is not there yet."
"Leonard, I am a master at controlling my body's impulses I am not a slave to my baser urges like you are."
"I am not a slave to my baser urges, and deny it all you want but I think you feel something for Amy, I am not saying you have to act on it but you have to at least address how you feel about her. I heard you tell Penny that a physical relationship with her was a possibility."
"I am quite fond of Amy, and yes I have contemplated a physical relationship with her. I mean who wouldn't when they are around her she is bright, funny, interesting."
"So why don't you want to get physical with her?"
"To do that Leonard would be admitting everything I have espoused and believed in for the last twenty or so odd years was wrong and. I am just not prepared to do that."
With that they arrived at the university and they went off on their separate ways. Sheldon goes to his office and begins his work, he is able to forget the events of the morning as he gets engrossed with his work. He has no idea how long he works before he hears a knock at his door.
"Its open!" he calls distractedly and Amy walks in he is both delighted and dismayed to see her. He just got his thoughts controlled and here she was to distract him again.
"I just wanted to know if you would like to eat lunch with me today. I called but you did not pick up."
" Oh I am sorry, I turned my phone off I have been working on this equation all morning."
" Oh" Amy says stepping over to the board.
" Your work is excellent , your mind always amazes me ."
Sheldon beams at her she really looks quite lovely today. She is wearing her purple striped sweater he likes that one a lot. The way the light is playing with her hair reminds him of his dream and before he knows what he is doing he is crossing over to her. He places his hands on her hips and kisses her not a light peck either it deepens and he feels her tounge press lightly against his own. This would have disgusted him before but he finds he really enjoys it and matches her rhythm. So many things he would never have allowed happen before and it overwhelms him but he does not want to stop either. That's when he hears a throat clearing and sees Howard and Leonard in the door way. He hurriedly breaks the kiss off.
"Gentlemen." he says to them Amy turns and looks embarssed.
"We were going to see if you were ready for lunch but it looks like you two are busy." Howard says wigging his eyebrows suggestively when he says busy.
"Yeah we will leave you to alone." Leonard says smiling
" No need, we were just going to leave for lunch." Amy says wrapping her hand around the strap on her bag and charging out the door Sheldon is grateful for her no nonsense attitude and that he will not be subjected to their teasing while she is around. Really what was he thinking kissing her in his office not even on a date night?
Later that night Leonard is at Penny's apartment and he tells her the events of the day.
"So they were making out! In his office! Amy texted me and told me but her definition and my definition of making out are very different." Penny exclaims proud that Sheldon us finally breaking down some of his barriers.
" Yeah this was not a light peck hello on the cheek there was definitely tounge involved, he had his arms around her and everything. "
" Awww our Sheldon is growing up!" Penny says taking a sip of wine.
"I'll say, this morning he was going in about how he thought he was experiencing pon farr, and revealed a little more information then I really needed to know."
"Pon Farr?" Penny asks confused
" Vulcan mating ritual. "
" So wait! what you are saying is that Sheldon admitted that he was horny to you this morning and then you catch him kissing Amy this afternoon? "
" Yeah , not in so many words but he says he has been dreaming of Amy every night."
" Holy crap on cracker! Do you know what this means!"
"Do not get to excited, it took him a year and a half to admit she was his girlfriend, and four years to kiss her."
"Whatever! this is major progress though!"
"Sure by the time they have been together eight years they might sleep in the same bed without touching." Leonard laughs.
Sheldon tries to get to sleep in his bed but his thoughts are racing and he can not settle down. Amy is taking up entirely to much of his time and brain. Even his dreams are not safe from the vixen anymore. He has to break it off with her he thinks that is the only way to release himself from his constant thoughts about her. That's it he thinks he is going over there now to let her know as he is not her boy toy. Kissing her in his office what had he been thinking the ridicule over it would never end.
Sheldon rides the bus to Amy's apartment and knocks on her door, it is late almost midnight and he had caught the last bus out there . He has prepared what he is going to say to her the whole way over.
" Amy, I respect you as an individual, and have enjoyed your company immensely over the last couple of years, but I am first and foremost a scientist and can not have you as a constant distraction in my life." He mumbles under his breath practicing.
When the door opens and Amy appears the words are swept out of his mouth. The damnable woman is wearing his shirt and she looks like a vision standing in the doorway. The faint light from her apartment glows on her from behind and he cannot remember seeing a more beautiful creature.
" Sheldon, what are you doing here, it is very late, is everything alright?"
Sheldon still as no words for her, for what he feels at that moment is not a feeling he has ever felt before. Instead he grabs her roughly by the waist and backs her into the apartment. He turns her around and shuts the door then leans her against it. His hands brace against the door framing her face he leans down and kisses her she wraps her small hands around his neck and kisses him back. They kiss until they are both breathless then Amy breaks the kiss and buries her face into his neck.
"Sheldon, not that I am objecting to any of this." She whispers into his ear her warm breath in his ear makes him tingle. " But why are you here?"
" Honestly, I do not know, all I know is that you are constantly on my mind, that even my dreams are not safe from you anymore."
"So you thought this would be a good way to get me off your mind?" Amy disentangles herself from his arms and grabs his hand leading him to the couch.
"At first I came her to break up with you but obviously that is not something I really want to do. What I feel for you scares me and my body is telling me it is ready for something my brain is not."
"So you are saying that your body is experiencing the affects of sexual attraction and you are not ready for it."
"Yes,"
"Sheldon I do not want you to do anything you are not comfortable with, this is my first time feeling like this too and it us just as scary for me as it is for you. The important thing is that we have each other and I will go as as slow or as fast as you want."
Amy leans over and kisses him it is so reminiscent of the first time she kissed him that sets off a memory. They way her lips had felt against his that first time how he never thought he could find that experience pleasurable. The only reference he had before her was Leonard mother and she had been rough and smelled like stale alcohol and tacos. Amy had smelled like fresh shampoo and cranberries the kiss had been so light but resonated through out his whole body like the clanging of a bell. He felt that same clanging tonight but deeper and he responds to her kiss.
The kiss deepens and he pushes her backward on the couch and hitches one of her legs around his hip. Nestled between her legs he feels that part of himself pushing against her. He wonders if she notices,if she can feel his bodies natural response to her. Amy runs her hands underneath his shirt running her finger nails lightly against his skin and it makes him shiver. Then feels her tugging the material up and he let's her undress him first his T-shirt then his undershirt til he us shirtless before her. Amy's hands rove over his body greedily, they down his arms then across his collar bones then she stops them at his chest.
" Your heart is beating so hard" she murmurs against his neck kissing and biting her way down.
"Yes I am given to understand that it is a common reaction in sexual arousal."
"Or on fear ." she says looking up into his blue eyes the pupils at dilated and she still can not detect if it is out of fear or not.
"I am not afraid, not anymore." he says getting up and taking Amy's hand leading her into her bedroom.
