Thanks to all the people who followed, favourited, reviewed etc. Enjoy chapter 8!
Amy and Sheldon were sat at the counter, sipping hot chocolate. Pluto was sleeping contently in his basket, which they hoped meant he would sleep through the night. The rest of the gang had left to watch a movie, leaving Sheldon and Amy to discuss the feline agreement.
They had begun with the basics; emergency contacts (Leonard), who would do vet visits (Amy), weekly food shopping (Sheldon). Then came to what Sheldon titled "nightly arrangements"
"Clearly we want Pluto to grow up believing that this is his house, so if he were to ever get lost he knows where to return" Amy began
"Agreed" Sheldon typed "so it means we have to be the flexible ones"
"Just for now" Amy stated "once he's older he will sleep fine and be able to feed himself"
"Don't think you'll be getting off the hook of the care then" Sheldon pointed out
"Of course not" Amy smiled wryly
"Anyway, the present" Sheldon typed "for living arrangements"
"I propose we continue with last nights arrangement"
"Defend"
"It did not effect us in any way, it would make much more sense than having to make up a separate bed"
Sheldon pondered on this. He had tried to not think of last nights events, but he had to agree, having Amy sleep next to him wasn't all bad. She was conscientious, quiet and her routine did not disturb his.
"Alright" he agreed. He saw Amy's face light up, which both scared and amused him at the same time.
So then, they (mostly Sheldon) began to outline the rules of the bedroom. Amy had to abide by the "line" in the middle of the bed, Sheldon had to be of "comfort" if Amy were to have one of her night terrors. After an hour of typing, re-typing and printing, the agreement was done.
"Sign here" Sheldon went through the agreement, allowing Amy to sign each section. He then did the same.
It was reaching bed time, so under the new routine, Amy went to get ready first. Exactly 5 minutes later, she emerged from the bathroom changed and quite sleepy. She went into Sheldon's- her- bedroom and packed up her work things into her bag. Sheldon entered whilst she was still packing up
"I do hope Pluto sleeps tonight, or I won't be in the right frame of mind for the lecture I'm giving tomorrow" Sheldon took off his dressing gown.
"Here's hoping" Amy walked up to him, feeling brave
"So, are you going to give your girlfriend a goodnight kiss?" She pondered, smiling up at Sheldon.
Sheldon didn't respond, unsure of what to do.
Amy sighed "fine" she said, and she quickly reached up and kisses his lips. Sheldon went red.
"You didn't let me answer" he smiled slightly
"Doesn't matter" Amy turned and got into bed "I knew you would have said no anyway"
"Not necessarily" Sheldon began
"So you enjoyed it?" Amy asked as Sheldon got into bed next to her.
"I would say that the physical act of kissing you just bestowed on me was both confusing yet satisfactory at the same time"
Amy smiled "so, yes?"
Sheldon turned off the lamp "good night Amy" turning away from her
"Good night Sheldon" she replied.
Sunlight was streaming through the curtains when Amy awoke. She smiled. Pluto hasn't woken once, which was both good and bad. Bad because it could mean shorter time living in Sheldon's.
She turned to her boyfriend, who was still sound asleep. She got out of bed carefully, putting on her dressing gown to begin her morning routine. First, she decided to check on Pluto.
"Good morning Pluto" she sang as she entered the living room. She looked at his basket. He wasn't there.
"Pluto?" She called, looking around the living room. She called out for him as she searched under the sofas, the kitchen. She began to panic. Where was he?
It was then Sheldon entered the room, being awoken by Amy's calls.
"Pluto's missing?" Sheldon queried
"I can't find him!" Amy panicked
"Let me look around" and he began to help "Pluto...Pluto.."
"Oh no, what if he went in the bathroom?" Amy asked
"I'll go check" Sheldon began to leave, when...
"SHELDON!" Amy and Sheldon jumped at the loud voice that came from down the hall.
A second later, Leonard was in the hallway, holding a wide awake Pluto in his hands. His eyes were beady.
"Oh Pluto!" Amy ran to Leonard to pick up Pluto.
"What the hell was he doing on my bed!" Leonard yelled
"On your bed?" Sheldon pondered on this
"Yes, I woke up to him on my face! Scared the crap out of me!" Leonard glared.
"I can't imagine how he got up to your bed" Amy said
"Probably using his claws" Sheldon commented
"You need to get your cat in line" Leonard commanded
"Maybe you need to close your door" Sheldon quipped back "now if you don't mind, I have a lecture and need to begin my routine" he looked at Amy "keep him in here"
"I shall" Amy went up to Leonard "sit down!" She commanded, pointing at the sofa.
Leonard gave her a look of confusion.
"I was joking" Amy smiled
"Hysterical" Leonard turned and went back to his room. Amy was left with Pluto.
"We need to keep you safe" she whispered to him "now, who's hungry?"
