This has nothing to do with my other fic. I just wanted a short story, probably be two chapters long as I was watching The Tangible Affection Proof and it occurred to me how much Sheldon and Amy have developed in their relationship. I just wanted to explore that in a different way. Completely Shamy.
Amy has just hugged Sheldon.
"Sheldon… this is amazing, thank you so much. I cannot thank you enough." Amy exclaimed, elated at Sheldon's gesture.
"Yes, well, can we order pizza and watch a film now please?" Sheldon asked, dying to get over this 'hippy dippy' moment.
"Yes, of course Sheldon! We can do whatever we want." Amy exclaimed. She was content at the moment and was happy to comply with whatever Sheldon wanted.
"Before we order pizza I just wanted to sit down and chat for a moment." Sheldon said, patting the space next to him for Amy to sit down on.
"Okay. I'll just grab a drink, do you want one?" Amy asked.
"Yes please, water will do." Sheldon replied. Amy grabbed the two drinks and sat down next to Sheldon, gently caressing his thigh with hers. She noticed Sheldon didn't flinch like he normally does or tense up yet he was looking a little scared.
"Sheldon, what's wrong?" Amy enquired, worried about what Sheldon wanted to talk about.
"Well Amy, I just wanted to let you know how much this relationship means to me. How much we have progressed. I find myself thinking about you, about things that remind me of you. I was in my office today, reading a joke on my phone when I thought to myself, Jee, Amy would love this joke. I've never done that about another person before. When I eat lunch, I have recently found myself missing your company, wishing you were there with us. When I come home, I find myself wanting to eat dinner with you more often. Even more recently, I have found myself craving to hold your hand. Amy, you do realise that means I crave your physical contact, only in a small amount though." Sheldon gently took Amy's hand in his. "Amy, I hope this is making you see how much we have developed. How much I have developed. I care about you a lot Amy and I hope you are realizing this. One day, I hope to develop this further but for now, I just wanted you to know how much I care about you. I know you find our relationship difficult at times but I am glad you are a patient person Amy because otherwise I'd be sat here with 25 cats and no Amy Farrah Fowler in my life. We couldn't have that now, can we?" Sheldon joked, a slight smile coming to his lips.
Amy on the hand had small tears leaking down her rosy cheeks, her face in a massive smile, a twinkle in her eyes that Sheldon found adorable. He could tell by her smile that they were tears of joy and he took a deep breath and braved touching Amy's face to softly wipe away the small glistening tears. He hated seeing her cry but knew it was out of emotion.
"Amy, I would like to make a proposal to the relationship agreement." Sheldon declared.
"O-kay." Amy chocked out, the emotion getting the better of her voice.
"I would like to propose that we open up the physical contact and make an experiment. Of course, I am the only one that is allowed to initiate the physical contact until I feel comfortable with it. I will allow hand-holding to be initiated by both parties but anything else e.g. hugs, kissing, making out, is to be initiated by me." Sheldon stated, looking at Amy for her reaction.
Mouth hanging open, tear stricken, rosy cheeked Amy Farrah Fowler was speechless. "Sh-Shel-Sheldon; are you okay? Are you sure? Are you serious? Where is your Bazinga?" Amy stated, disbelief dripping off of her voice. She could not comprehend what Sheldon was saying. This was all she had ever wanted and it was finally happening.
"Amy, you must feel the same? Our relationship has so many layers. Don't you see them? We have an intellectual relationship, your patience, my ability to want to see you all the time, think about you day and night, talk to you throughout the day, my growing ability to want contact with you. Our relationship is very deep and I want to further deepen the bond we have. I care about you Amy and my feelings are constantly growing and I hope you feel the same. Many people just think we are a couple of weirdo's with an abnormal relationship but by withstanding a deep commitment of physical contact, we have completely made our relationship stronger and when we do finally develop to the last stage and completely commit to one another, our bond will be so strong and much stronger than other people's bond. It will truly mean something Amy Farrah Fowler; it will be special, more special than if we did that now, or before now."
Amy was silent. Shocked.
Completely shocked.
"Oh Sheldon!" Amy withheld her hug but Sheldon could sense that she wanted one so he opened his arms and laid back, inviting her in to hug him.
They hugged for a while, both content that they knew where they stood in the relationship. After fifteen minutes of staying like this in the corner of the couch, Amy moved to order pizza and Sheldon watched her, admiring the way she spoke, the curve of her nose, her rosy tear stained cheeks, the way her body moved as she finished the phone call and got up to wash her face and clean up a little bit. He watched her as she moved to the bathroom, admiring her curvaceous figure. He truly was one lucky man and he promised to himself to make the effort to prove that to her.
Two months later.
It was date night again and Amy decided she would have the night at her apartment for a change. She made an effort to dress up however and was wearing a flowy cocktail dress that fell just below the knees in a deep purple colour; her hair was lightly curled, eyeliner and mascara applied and bracelet on. She even put her tiara in her hair, hoping Sheldon would realise. She decided not to wear any shoes as she secretly liked the height difference between them.
Sheldon did his signature knock bang on 7pm and Amy opened the door. Recently, Sheldon had been more daring in their relationship, initiating intimate hugs between them and even kissed her cheek a few times when they said goodbye. Amy was appreciative of the effort and made sure not to push Sheldon. Ever since that intimate night two months ago, she had been sure to let Sheldon develop in his own time. She knew he would come round when he was ready and when he thought it felt right.
"Oh Amy, you look beautiful." Sheldon exclaimed. Amy blushed lightly, the tint in her cheeks making her look even more adorable in his eyes. He softly placed his hand on her cheek and she rested her cheek in his hand. His eyes sparkled even more when he looked up and realised she was wearing the tiara he bought her. He wouldn't admit it, but she was his princess in his eyes. He was her knight in shining armour.
"Thank you Sheldon. Would you like to take a seat and I will serve dinner. I have cooked your favourite; spaghetti with little bits of hotdog in with Strawberry Quick for a drink." Sheldon hummed in appreciation as the food was brought over by Amy. "Oh Amy, this looks amazing!" Sheldon tucked in and soon dinner was over a done with.
As they sat there staring at one another, an idea came to Sheldon's mind. He usually hated these types of idea's, thinking they are hippy dippy but he thought Amy deserved some romance tonight and he was feeling daring and wanted to make the effort.
"Amy, what do you have for dessert?" Sheldon enquired.
"I have strawberries, cream and melted chocolate, why?" Amy asked.
"Go and sit down, I'll sort out dessert." Sheldon smiled to himself, hoping this would work out. Amy obliged and went and sat down. She was curious as to what Sheldon had planned.
He put the strawberries in one bowl, the cream in the other and the melted chocolate in another one. He brought the food over and placed each bowl in front of himself and Amy.
"Sit back and close your eyes." Amy obliged.
Sheldon picked up the strawberry, placed it in the cream and then the melted chocolate and slowly moved it towards Amy's mouth.
"Open." Amy did so and he lightly placed the food in her mouth. She hummed in appreciation, the delectable taste filling her mouth.
He repeated the process a few times. After the fourth time, he placed a strawberry covered in melted chocolate half into his mouth, moved cautiously towards Amy and stopped a centimetre from her mouth. She could feel his warm breath bouncing off of her face and decided to close her mouth around the rest of the strawberry and bite down on it, taking her mouth. She moaned gently, loving this new daring side of Sheldon.
Sheldon enjoyed the sensation surprisingly. He knew he was nearly ready for a full blown kiss but wanted to take it slow and wanted it to occur on a special night. Tonight was not that night but it was soon he thought to himself.
They enjoyed the rest of the night, each feeding the other and lost track of time until Leonard called Sheldon asking him if he needed to be picked up or is Amy was bringing him home because it was late. He decided on Amy taking him home since she offered and he was having a good time.
