Sheldon Cooper
Amy lips were soft against his and before he knew it he had closed his eyes and kissed her back. It was a fairly modest kiss, no tongue or touch other than their lips. His hands were in his lap and he had an urge to reach out and hold her face to bring her closer. But he restrained himself his logical side still fairly in control.
Surprisingly though, his physical instincts were coming forward also. It was strange because he had never before had to regain control over his physical side. His intellectual nature was always dominant. These thoughts all rushed through his head in a matter of seconds because all too soon the kiss was over.
He was stunned in silence for a moment but managed to get out one word, 'Fascinating'
It was fascinating; he had never felt like this before. Usually he was thinking at a level higher than most. Now he could barely regain a clear thought. His head was a muddle of emotions. The logical part of him was telling him to clean his teeth and that he had just broken one of his personal rules. Another part wanted to kiss he again and didn't care about sharing saliva at all. He in fact didn't mind at that moment very much at the saliva exchange. Amy interrupted his reverie.
'I hope you don't take what I'm about to do as a comment on what we just did' Amy muttured.
And with that she got up from the couch and scurried to the bathroom. Sheldon was confused until he heard her retching from the bathroom. He jumped up in concern knowing that the alcohol was causing her to be sick. He looked at the monkey as he stood outside the door.
'Who's to say you shouldn't be dissecting our brains.' Sheldon muttured to Ricky. Another puff of smoke was directed at him and he fanned it away. 'You really are an ass'
Sheldon walked back to the couch and sat down. He was unsure of what he should do, he didn't think Amy would appreciate him seeing her like this and he and didn't want to see her like that either. He decided to use this time to clear through his thoughts.
Amy had kissed him. It also hadn't been unpleasant. But Amy was drunk and when she was sober she was just as intellectual as he was. How would she feel about this tomorrow? Would she think it was a mistake? That was likely, for some reason the thought made him sad. He did not regret kissing her back but he also didn't want anything to change.
He liked having Amy in his life, she was the only one he could have a true conversation with as equals. He didn't want one kiss to change that. He also was still not ok with unnecessary touching. The kiss had caught him off guard but he would have refused if she had asked. Despite this though, he wouldn't take it back.
He had enjoyed the feel of her soft lips on his, the taste of the cranberry cocktails on her lips. He wouldn't mind if she kissed him again. In fact he wanted her to but he knew that that would have consequences on their girl/friend/boy/friend relationship. They would become girlfriend and boyfriend. Sheldon wasn't ready for that kind of relationship. He would have to engage in coitus and while that sounded appealing when he thought back to the kiss he knew that it was much messier than kissing and his logical side still didn't feel comfortable with that.
He would have to explain to Amy that it was not to happen again. Maybe he didn't have to argue with Amy about it. There was fair chance that with the amount of alcohol in her system she would not remember this. He would have to tell her though; he didn't feel comfortable lying to her. She would likely regret it and he would blame it on the alcohol. Then they would forget about this incident and remain friends.
He liked that idea. The intellectual side was happy and his physical side could still be around Amy. It was a good decision, he decided as he went to check on Amy. He saw her lying on the bathroom floor passed out. Sheldon checked his watch, he had been lost in thought for almost 40 minutes! Amy's glasses had fallen off and he put them on the sink. Grabbing a towel he folded it and lifted her head to place the towel underneath. He brushed her hair back from her face tenderly. She looked so peaceful sleeping. He smiled as he thought that she looked quite pretty with her glasses off. Her eyelashes framed her cheeks and he longed to touch her soft skin.
Reason came back to him and he controlled himself. He decided he had to leave, she was clouding his judgement. He hoped he could control himself better tomorrow when this was all sorted. On his way out he noticed that her oven clock way at the wrong time. Him being who he was he couldn't just leave it like that. He had an internal battle for a moment and then gave in and changed it.
