So now I can concentrate on other things, like fic writing! :D Thank you for all the reviews, favourites and follows, much appreciated and much love!xx

It had been 4 months since Valentine's day and 4 months since Sheldon made Amy his emergency contact number. She had been called to his assistance several times since then, the latest one when Sheldon thought he had swallowed a spider and thought that he would become Spiderman but wanted to get seen by the nurse. He was so adamant to call Amy that the nurse had to obliged, leading to Amy being very frustrated at Sheldon because, in her opinion, he had wasted her time yet again.

"Sheldon, I thought we had discussed this! I don't want you wasting my time again."

"But Amy, I swallowed a spider – I could have become Spiderman, did you not want to witness that?"

"No, I wanted to stay at work and taunt monkeys with pictures and see their reactions."

"Amy, I don't feel like you understand what this meant to me. I could have become a superhero and I feel as though you are taunting me."

"Really? What gave you the first hint?"

"Well, there was your tone of voice, your obvious frustration and the fact that you didn't want to witness me becoming Spiderman."

"Sheldon… THAT WAS SARCASM!"

They parted ways and had barely spoken to each other since then, a week ago now. It was now their regular date night and they were having it at Amy's again. Amy had thought a lot over the week that had passed since their last encounter with one another and thought that she needed to start taking Sheldon more seriously; she has known for three years now that Sheldon is into this 'stuff' and she needs to come to terms with it. Just how exactly is another question. She decided she needed to have an actual serious talk with him. One where they discuss the full extent of their feelings and secrets they don't know about one another.

Sheldon did his signature right at that second, always on time. It was 6:30pm and Amy had just finished preparing dinner, snapping out of her day dream to take it out of the oven and then answer the door.

"Hello Sheldon. Please, come in." Amy stepped aside to let Sheldon and she thought he looked deep in concentration. Something is wrong.

"I have prepared dinner. Would you like to eat now?" Amy enquired. On an attempt to make peace she had made Sheldon his favourite of Spaghetti and Hotdogs. It smelled divine.

"Yes please. Have you got any Strawberry quick?" Sheldon asked, his eyes lighting up at the possibility of one of his favourite drinks.

"Of course I do! Let me go and plate dinner up and I'll make you your drink." Sheldon took a seat at the table whilst Amy plated up their dinner and brought it over to the table. She set it down in front of Sheldon and he didn't even wait for Amy to sit down before he started eating. Boy, I should make this more often! Amy thought.

"How was your?" Sheldon asked, bringing Amy out of her daydream.

"Oh just the usual. Monkeys trying to attack me because I won't give them alcohol. The image stimulus is going well though. It's really funny actually, you show a monkey a picture of a vagina and they scream! It's just like what you'd do!" Amy joked yet Sheldon just gave her a withering look, not at all amused.

"I'll have you know Sheldon Lee Cooper has matured thank you very much." Sheldon retorted, eating his dinner quietly and ignoring Amy. If this is his game, let's see how he copes with that.

Amy and Sheldon finished eating dinner in a deadly silence. Amy casually took one of her cardigans off and then the other. Sheldon quickly looked up but still remained quiet.

"Don't you think it's a little hot in here? I think I'll just go and change. You don't mind clearing up do you? I did cook after all." Amy smiled sweetly at Sheldon and excused herself. Sheldon did as he was asked and when Amy returned from her room, Sheldon was shocked.

Amy was wearing a Victoria secret nightdress. It was a royal blue and reached her mid-thigh. The breast area was covered and Amy was wearing underwear but the rest of the dress was see-through and did not leave much to the imagination. Her effect was imminent.

"Amy, don't you think you should put something on?" Sheldon queried.

"Oh, so now you'll talk to me. Right Sheldon Lee Cooper, I have had enough of this. We need to talk. Right now. You need to realise the fact that I am a woman. I have needs. I have emotions. I have tantrums. I have a screwed up mind. I have mood swings. I cry, I laugh, I scream, I fight. It's what we do. Can you handle that for the rest of the foreseeable future because if not, you need to walk out that door right now. I am fed up of your behaviour, your ignorance towards sex and your attitude towards comic books and crossing them over with real life. Do you realise how embarrassing it was telling my boss, 'sorry, I just have to leave because my boyfriend swallowed a spider and believes he might become Spiderman!' Yeah. I had to tell my boss that. I've had enough Sheldon! I have been patient, I have calmed my sexual desires in other ways. I have even tolerated your consistent watching of Star Trek and Star Wars. I don't even know which one is which! I have done weird fantasy stuff with you just try and get you to want to spend more time with me. Yes, over the past 4 months we have progressed but I am tired Sheldon! I was lonely as a child and I was unloved. I don't want that for my adult life and I deserve better than this and I know deep down you know I do otherwise you wouldn't have progressed over the past 4 months. I want cards on the table Sheldon. Tell me where this is going. What you are feeling. What you want out of this. Tell me." Amy finished, her chest heaving, ragged breaths leaving her body and her face falling towards the floor. That was the first time she had expressed these emotions. She hadn't even spoken to Penny or Bernadette about this. This was a spur of the moment and she felt relieved. Amazing. She started giggling slightly and Sheldon looked at her. He really looked at her.

It hit him, like a ton of bricks to the face.

He loved her.

She was beautiful in his eyes. The way her body curved, her hips inviting him, the curve of her breasts intrigued him.

He slowly walked towards her and stood inches from her.

"Amy." He whispered.

It was now or never.

"I'm scared. Horrified. I have never, ever, felt this way. What you just said, you want to know how it made me feel? Ashamed. Hurt. Scared. Horrified that I had treated you that way. In all honesty I didn't even know I sexually frustrated you. But you know what? I feel the same. I didn't realise it before, but, seeing you here and now, I realise how much I want you. How much I need you. How much I rely on you. I don't want you to walk away, give up on us. You may not realise how far we have come, but honestly Amy Farrah Fowler, we have come so far. I can tolerate your touch. I want and need your kisses. I enjoy our hugs. I can even hold your hand. Do you know how many other people I can do that with? Only my family who I care for dearly. You have changed my life for the better and I am now a more open minded person. Remember that time that you got me to do that social sciences experiment? I would have never considered that before Amy, but I did it with you. In time we will engage in coitus, but why rush? We have the whole of our lives to enjoy this. To explore this. Look at me now, I am acting like a hippie dippy and expressing my feelings to you! Who would have thought that three years ago, you would have walked into my life and changed it for the better Amy Farrah Fowler."

"Sheldon…"

"Shh."

He gently leaned in and kissed her, slowly at first but eventually putting his hands around her and exploring her body.

After the night of revelations and expressing of feelings, they were both content that they understood where they stood in their relationship and the journey they were about to explore. He was now comfortable with second/third base and was having fun exploring it and Amy was entirely glad to be on the receiving end.

"Amy… can we share a bed tonight? Purely for sleeping next to one another!" Sheldon asked hesitantly.

"Of course."

Now it was time to explore this new adventure. Together. Both on the same page.

This was based on Penny and Sheldon expressing their feelings to one another because it gave the idea. (The Hofstadter Insufficiency.) If anyone wants me to do the coitus scene, I can change the rating and do so, but I was planning on leaving it there. This was only a short story after all! Please read and review, much love!xx
