"Emotional Sheldon" - Anonymous. I wasn't sure which emotion you were looking for so I went with happy/love :))))
Silence filled the apartment as the television was switched on. Everyone had gathered to watch the grand premiere of Wil Wheaton and Adam Nimoy's television documentary on the lifetime of Leonard Nimoy.
Sheldon was particularly excited and had been keen to point out that he was making an appearance in it to anyone who would listen. Unfortunately for him, not many people were listening.
Now that the whole gang had sat down to watch it together, Sheldon's nerves overcame him.
The day he had been interviewed was not one of his best.
Amy was sat next to him this very minute. Her knee gently touched his and he arms were neatly folded in her lap. He remembered the time when they were apart. He never wanted to feel like that again.
Sheldon had more than one reason to be nervous tonight; the evidence of which felt heavy as it pressed against his leg from his trouser pocket.
He tapped it gently, to assure its safety.
The documentary flicked through other fans who had been interviewed. Sheldon smirked.They did not have a signed napkin with Nimoy's DNA. His interview was far more impressive and superior than other fans.
Suddenly, the image flickered to Sheldon in his spot. Sheldon shushed the room and leant forward to watch intensely.
He smiled to himself, feeling proud.
However, his face soon turned to worry. Sheldon had assumed that they had cut out his outburst in the editing but sadly not. The gang watched in shock as Sheldon shouted at Penny and ran back to his room.
No one said anything. All eyes turned to Sheldon who kept a steady, sorrowful gaze on the television screen.
Amy's hand slowly moved from her own knee onto his. Sheldon held it gratefully.
In silence, the moment passed and they all moved on, everyone's attention now on a man who had the largest collection of Nimoy figurines.
Sheldon's embarrassing frenzy was forgotten, that was until the end of the film.
As the documentary ended, a picture of Leonard Nimoy flashed onto the screen with the words
In memory of Leonard Nimoy 1931-2015
A loving father, an inspiring actor, and an influence to all
Everyone was touched by the tender words. The air was still and quiet.
The screen changed to more pictures. This time, it was of all the people involved in the film-making and where they were now.
Wil's picture was shown; Wil Wheaton is currently working on the third instalment of 'Serial Apeist' and will be a guest member of their panel at Comic Con
The man from earlier had his photograph taken surrounded by all his figurines; 'After his interview, James decided to donate his collection to children's hospitals all across America'
More and more pictures appeared with everyone's stories. Sheldon sat nervously on the edge of his seat.
"Are you alright?" Amy asked, concerned, "Shall I get you some water?" he was looking rather pale.
As she went to stand, Sheldon put his arm out to stop her, "No, no. I'm fine. I'll get it"
Amy looked puzzled but sat back and left him to walk to the kitchen. He had been acting strange all evening. Amy assumed it was because his outburst had just been viewed by millions of people.
Quickly, a charming picture of Sheldon appeared on the screen.
"Look, look, Sheldon!" Penny pointed at the screen. All eyes read the words below.
Sheldon reunited with his girlfriend Amy last year
The picture changed to one of them together. It was from Leonard and Penny's redo wedding. Sheldon and Amy were frozen on the screen, sharing a secret kiss that they had not known was being photographed. They smiled into each other's lips in pure bliss.
The words underneath had also changed.
Sheldon asked Amy to marry him. She said yes.
Everyone's jaws dropped as they stared at the screen as re-read the line over and over again.
Amy mumbled in confusion, "What? They have that wrong. Sheldon-"
She looked for Sheldon in the kitchen. Her eyes searched and then slowly lowered. He was kneeling on the floor.
Leonard muted the television as the end credits rolled. Everyone turned to Sheldon.
Prised open between his fingertips was a box. The very box they had seen minutes ago. The very box that Amy knew contained a family heirloom.
Her breathing became rushed and she placed a hand to her heart. Slowly Amy stood and walked closer to Sheldon.
"Amy…" Sheldon began in almost a whisper. The whole gang were deadly silent, careful not to miss a word. Sheldon was terrified. Everyone was watching. Had he been presumptuous in asking Adam to include that in the documentary? What if she said no?
Taking a deep breath, he saw Amy's delicate smile and summoned courage.
"I know you know I had this ring, but I still wanted to surprise you. I wanted you to be as excited about the idea of marriage as I am. Because I am excited Amy. I love you. More than anything. That scares me, a lot. But somehow you give me unimaginable strength and help me in ways no one else could. You've changed my entire world and made me realise years ago that change is good as long as I'm with you. We've grown and changed together and there is no possible way to show the extent of my love and appreciation. Unless perhaps…?"
He took a deep breath.
"Amy Farrah Fowler, will you marry me?"
Amy smiled, "Yes"
Standing quickly, Sheldon embraced her with a hard, passionate kiss. Pulling apart, he gently removed the ring from the box and slid it onto her finger. It fit perfectly.
The gang cheered and stepped forward to share in the celebrations which was a little difficult as Sheldon and Amy were firmly pressed together in a kiss that appeared to have no end in sight.
They perfectly replicated the photograph Sheldon had sent in for the documentary.
Embraced in each other's arms. Smiling into each other's lips. In pure bliss.
