Hi everyone,
Here is a prompt request from Hannah22 asking for Amy and Sheldon's first time. This was something quite different to what I have written before but I totally loved writing it so thank you so much for requesting!
Some of this was taken from The Opening Night Excitation. I really hope you all enjoy!
Since Penny and Bernadette had broken the news to her about Sheldon's birthday plans for tonight, Amy's stomach had been in knots. She wanted to do this, of course she did, she wanted nothing more but she never really saw this day arriving. It had taken her years to get Sheldon to this point so much so that she had almost given up hope on it happening with him at all.
The mood was set, her apartment dimly lit by several candles that were scattered across the front room, if she was being honest she would have to admit that maybe, just maybe, she had gone a little over board. She justified that by telling herself that she had waited so long for this, waited until she was sure she was with the right person and now that she knew it was going to happen, everything, every little detail had to be perfect.
He would be here any minute, as Amy looked at her watch, she realised he should have been here three minutes ago. Sheldon was always a stickler for time and as time ticked on, Amy began to panic, began to wonder whether or not he had actually had second thoughts. Whether the advice that Penny or Leonard had given him had freaked him out far too much that he was now backing out. She remembered his reaction to the pressure piled on to him during their prom that they staged just last year.
She was broken from her panicked thoughts when she heard a knock at the door, followed quickly by her name, then another and then another. Maybe he hadn't backed out after all. Rising up to her feet, she smoothed down her skirt and quickly ran her fingers through her hair, not that it would matter to Sheldon but she had to look good. Approaching the door, she undid the latch and pulled it back to reveal Sheldon, standing with a huge bouquet of flowers, tulips, Amy's favourite, shielding him from view.
"Hello Amy, happy birthday" his smile was beautiful as he pushed the flowers towards Amy. Clad in a suit jacket, trousers and a crisp white shirt, Amy thought he looked incredible, she would argue this was the best she had ever seen him look. It was definitely a welcome change from the superhero shirts.
"Thank you. These are so pretty" upon seeing him she felt her stomach flip and her heart start to race, after years of being together she found it rather heart warming that he still managed to make her feel this way. She wondered if he felt the same about her, she had really made an effort tonight, she hoped it got his heart racing in some way.
"I'm sorry I'm a little late" he apologised. "I did purchase a balloon but it blew away and so I chased it for a little while" Amy's heart melted, he had his moments but he really was incredibly sweet and thoughtful.
"That's okay" although the balloon was a lovely thought, she was just grateful that he was here and hadn't backed out of his plan. The plan that right now he had no idea Amy knew about. "Come on in" she suggested stepping aside so that he could enter the apartment. "I'm just going to place these in water. They really are so beautiful. Thank you"
"You're welcome. Oh candles" Sheldon sounded surprised as he stepped inside, closing the door behind him. As he lowered himself to sit on the couch he took in the space around him, she must have had over twenty candles lit, something that to him seemed like quite the fire hazard.
"Sorry. I think I did go a little overboard" she laughed nervously and played with her hair. He could sense her nerves. Why was she so nervous he didn't quite know and why was she playing with her hair? "So what did you have planned for tonight?" Amy asked, sitting down next to him, knowing exactly what he had planned.
"Well, I was thinking we could go for a nice birthday dinner. If we pick somewhere east of here we might find that balloon"
"It's okay" Amy laughed, hooking her hair behind her ear as she looked up at him from behind her glasses. She wasn't even sure herself what she was doing, was she trying to flirt with him? After four years together, she wasn't sure she'd ever made an attempt to be flirty. "We can leave the balloon. I think if it's okay with you, I'd like to do presents first" she explained, without realising she suddenly found herself biting the corner of her lip and shuffling herself closer to him.
"Amy" Sheldon cleared his throat, suddenly his whole demeanour changed and Amy knew something serious was about to happen. She knew now was the time he would tell her his plan. "I don't really have a gift to give you per say. I was thinking that...well...maybe that tonight we could...we" what started as a confident declaration at her lack of present suddenly turned into him fumbling over his words as he tried to put forward the idea of them sleeping together for the first time.
"Sheldon, it's okay" Amy reached out and gently placed her hand on his knee. With anticipation already coursing it's way through her body, the touch alone was nearly enough to send Amy over the edge. "It's okay, I know" she told him, giving him a small smile that she hoped told him all was okay.
"You know?"
"Yeah" she nodded. "I know that your present is for us to be intimate" she could feel a warm blush forming on her cheeks as she spoke the words. Intimate. She was about to be intimate with Sheldon Cooper.
"Oh I see" he looked a little disappointed that the element of the surprise had been taken away but given the fact he could barely get the words out just a few moments ago, he was grateful for the girls revealing all to Amy. "Is that alright?" he asked. Amy's heart fluttered when she realised what a gentleman he was being, he probably didn't even understand just how much that simple question meant to her.
Without thinking she leaned forward and placed her lips to his. It was a kiss like no other, there was a tingling that traveled all through her body, an instant connection to him that felt stronger than ever. Thankfully, Sheldon reciprocated her action, moving his mouth slowly in time with hers, before they eventually pulled away.
"Of course it's okay" she smiled.
"I think I might have already figured that out" the kiss told him all he needed to know. "Are you really sure about this?" he asked again. He knew this was a huge deal for the both of them, a huge thing for her. From talking to Penny, he knew that the idea of first times weren't quite always what they were built up to be but he knew better than anyone how much Amy wanted this and so just like her, he was on a mission to make everything perfect.
"I'm really sure" she smiled, placing a hand upon his shoulder.
"Okay, because we could always..."
Amy silenced him again by placing her lips to his, this time with just a quick little peck. It really was the only way she could think of to get him to stop talking. They broke away seconds later, Sheldon looking a little shocked by Amy's sudden forwardness.
"Sheldon, please just kiss me" her voice quiet and low, there was something almost quite sultry about her demand.
"Okay" Sheldon nodded, swallowing. "I can do that" he smiled.
They kissed on Amy's couch for what felt like forever, everything was so gentle and cautious. They had never been one for mad, spontaneous romantic moments, those moments where you want the other person so bad that your kisses are rough and your clothes are ripped from your body. Amy wondered whether those moments would occur once they had been intimate, the thought of Sheldon wanting her so badly was enough to light a fire inside of her.
Hands were delicately placed as they roamed each other bodies, hands running through hair, cupping the others face and somehow managing to discard Sheldon's suit jacket and Amy's cardigan, all with their lips attached to one another, not once breaking free or coming up for air.
"Shall we go through to the bedroom?" Amy asked breaking away from Sheldon for a few moments, she already missed his touch however, she could sense things were getting a little serious and she didn't quite like the idea of her first time being on her couch.
"Of course" he nodded. They were like a pair of giddy teenagers so wrapped up in the moment, so in love with each other. The huge smiles on their faces and their pounding heart rates were proof of that. Amy took Sheldon's hand and began leading him to the bedroom, the closer she got the more nervous she became.
The passion seemed to disappear once they entered Amy's room and the door was closed behind them. Both of them stood awkwardly, anticipating the other one to make the first move, a move that neither of them felt comfortable to make given the unfamiliar territory.
"Okay" Amy started slowly. "Why don't you make yourself comfortable, I'm going to go and freshen up" she told him, scooping up her nightgown that was folded neatly at the end of the bed, she quickly excused herself and dashed off to the adjacent en-suite bathroom. Amy didn't really need to freshen up, she just needed some time to herself, time to process everything that was going on. Stepping into the room with Sheldon suddenly made her realise that this was very much happening and although it was something she had waited a ridiculously long time to do, the nerves were now hitting her at full force.
Glancing at her reflection in the mirror, she wondered if whether after the deed was done she'd suddenly look different. Would she have that post sex glow people talked about, would others simply know about her antics from the night before simply from the new upbeat, positive attitude she was sporting. Would it change her completely? Would it change her and Sheldon? That really was the last thing she wanted, she knew from being friends with Penny and Bernadette that sex just seemed to complicate things, she didn't want that for her and Sheldon. She loved them as a couple just the way they were.
That was just it. She loved him, loved him more than she ever thought possible to love another human being and although at times, he didn't exactly show it in the most conventional ways, she knew he felt the same way about her. What they were about to do tonight was a true symbol of their love and whatever the outcome, if it changed them at all, then they would go through the motions together.
After changing into her nightgown and checking her appearance one last time, she felt ready to do this, well as ready as one could be in this situation. Swallowing back the nerves, she reached for the door handle and opened the bathroom door that led out on to the bedroom. She smiled to herself when she saw Sheldon sitting upright in her bed, that sight alone was one she thought she'd never see. Even at her age, a man in her bedroom, let alone in her bed was quite an alien thought, not to mention a naked man at that. Amy's eyes near bulged out of head her when she saw his clothes, neatly folded on the floor.
"Hello" he smiled. Amy studied him for a moment, was he nervous? He didn't look nervous and he never was normally one that could hide his emotions well, she could normally read him like a book but right now it all felt impossible.
"Hi" she made eye contact with him and her heart soared. In her eyes, he really was so perfect. "Shall I...um...shall I get under the covers with you?" she asked, was that how all this worked? She really wasn't sure.
"Okay" Sheldon nodded, pulling back the duvet on her side of the bed and offering her a reassuring smile. She climbed in, sat bolt upright and pulled the duvet up her body. Silence fell over them. From looking at her hands that were clutching the duvet, Sheldon could see that she was shaking.
"Are you okay? You're shaking. Are you cold?" he asked, seeming rather concerned.
"I'm...um...I'm just really nervous" she admitted. Sheldon had never seen her like this before, he had never seen her get to a point where she physically shook with nerves. In day to day life, she always came across as so self assured and confident, even in situations that were unfamiliar to her, she faced everything head on. It's what he admired the most about her.
"Why?" he asked. He really wanted to do this, the feelings that he was currently feeling had really surprised him. He never thought he would feel the need or desire to engage in physical intimacy with anyone and yet here he was, in bed with Amy. It all just felt right.
"I don't know" she shook her head, almost as if she was trying to rid herself of the nerves. "I guess I've just been waiting for this moment for so long, I've built it up in my head, I don't know what to expect" she revealed.
"I don't know what to expect either" he told her gently, reaching out for her hand that was clutching onto the duvet for dear life. "We're both new at this, we can find out together" he gave her a hand a gentle squeeze.
"Okay" she nodded her head seeming a little more sure of herself. Reaching out she gently cupped the side of his face, resting her hand there as she leaned forward to place a soft kiss to his lips, he helped her out by meeting her halfway. Just like the kiss on her couch, this one was slow and gentle, they didn't need to rush things, they had all the time in the world to be with one another.
After a few moments of slow, sensual kissing, Amy felt Sheldon's hand move up her arm and land on her shoulder, the whole time this was happening she was desperately trying to second guess his moves, anticipate what he was going to do next, all whilst trying to still kiss him. She felt him apply pressure to her shoulder as the kiss deepened, was he pushing her down? Did he want her to lie down? She really didn't know but she found her body slipping down and sinking into the mattress under Sheldon's touch.
Before she knew it, she was lying on her back with Sheldon hovering over her, his mouth still attached to hers. She wasn't sure she would ever get tired of kissing him, it all felt too good, the desire for him was overwhelming. Swiftly, he moved his lips from Amy's and started kissing her neck, he wasn't so sure what he was doing, he'd never kissed anyone there before but in his debrief with Penny she had told him that women like to be kissed on the neck. He hoped Amy was one of them.
The sudden move and change in tactic shocked Amy, she'd never known him to be so passionate, so spontaneous with affection. As she felt his lips against the skin of her neck, kissing, nibbling and sucking, Amy was sure she'd never felt anything this good before. She found herself tilting her head back, allowing him more access to her skin, she wasn't even aware of what she was doing, it was almost as if her body was demanding more.
Just as Amy had allowed herself to relax and become fully immersed under Sheldon's touch, he pulled away. As quick as he had taken the decision to start attacking her neck, he had now stopped just as suddenly.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?" Amy asked, reaching up to touch his arm as he hovered over her. Maybe this was now his nerves coming to the forefront or maybe she had just done something wrong.
"I'm okay" he swallowed. "It's just we need a... I need a condom" he seemed somewhat nervous to broach the subject. Amy let go of the breath that she wasn't aware she was holding, feeling relieved that it wasn't her that had done something wrong, she was also a little taken aback by the fact he felt ready for that next big leap.
"We don't have to use one, I'm on the pill" Amy reassured him gently, it wasn't as if both of them had a chequered sexual past, this was the first time ever for both of them. They both knew that.
"No, we have to be safe" Sheldon told her very matter of fact, somewhat climbing off of her body and perching himself on the edge of the bed. The duvet still covered his lower half as he searched the floor for his discarded clothes, searching his trouser pocket for his wallet containing the emergency condom he had brought just in case Amy didn't have any.
As Amy watched him search for the condom, she wasn't quite sure what had come over her. Of course they needed to be extra safe, she was surprised that in the moment she had allowed herself to become so flippant, she had well and truly lost herself in the moment and she was quite embarrassed by the fact she would let something so important slip.
Once the foil packet was retrieved, Sheldon held it in his hand, his fingers shaking as he tried to rip it open. He wasn't sure why he was shaking or why something as simple as tearing open a packet was proving to be so difficult, maybe he was more nervous about all of this than he first thought.
"Hey, I can help" Amy told him, she really wasn't sure how she could help, she wasn't exactly an expert in this field but as soon as she reached forward and gently touched his bare shoulder, even though it had been seconds, a minute if that, she realised how much she missed his touch.
"It's okay, I've got it" he told her quickly. Amy could sense he was getting stressed but she decided not to push the matter, the last thing she wanted was for the moment to be ruined.

"Okay, do I just...you know...put it in?" Sheldon asked as he hovered over Amy, the condom now securely in place after Amy endured a few painful moments of sitting back and watching Sheldon attempt to put it on himself. He seemed grossed out already by the pre lubricated rubber, Amy wondered how he would react after they had done the deed.
"Hmm" Amy nodded her head, waiting in nervous anticipation for what was about to come.
"Is it going to hurt you?"
"I don't know" her voice was quiet, she wanted this so much and yet she had never felt so exposed and vulnerable in all her life. Penny had explained that first times can sometimes be uncomfortable but she hadn't really mentioned pain, although Amy knew some suffered awful pain. She simply had no idea how her body would react.
Bracing her hands on Sheldon's upper arms (she wanted to touch him but really had no idea where put her hands) she felt him gently nudge himself inside of her. Amy's eyes squeezed shut and she felt herself bite her lips in anticipation, upon seeing this Sheldon instantly stopped.
"It's hurting you isn't it? We don't have to do this Amy" he was so worried about causing her pain, about making her feel uncomfortable. All he wanted was for this moment to be special and from the look on Amy's face, he wasn't sure that right now that was the case.
"No, no, I want to" Amy told him, looking up into those concerned blue eyes. She wanted this more than anything. "I want to. Just go slowly, okay" she explained, looping her arms around his neck. "Kiss me while you're doing it, it might take my mind off of it" she told him, kissing Sheldon was always a good distraction.
"Okay" he nodded and swallowed hard. He kissed Amy, it was slow and sensual at first but then the hunger in both of them deepened and the kiss turned more urgent. Like before on her sofa, tongues lapped against each other and they moaned into each other's mouth, it was almost enough to take Amy's mind off the fact that Sheldon was now fully inside of her. "Are you okay?" he asked, pulling away from Amy's lips rather abruptly.
"I'm okay" she smiled up at him and he believed her.
"So what now?" he asked. Although, in Penny's brief she had told him to take control, he needed Amy to guide him through this step by step.
"Move" Amy laughed gently, her laugh and smile completely relaxed him and before long they both found their pace.
The night was incredible. Amy had never known it was possible for her body to feel things like this, being so close to Sheldon, him allowing her to be this intimate with him was just everything she had ever wanted throughout their whole relationship. She loved him so much and him committing himself to her like this was all the proof she needed that he loved her just as much.

Amy lay with her head and hand resting upon Sheldon's bare chest, she could feel the rapid rise and fall of his chest as he breathed, hear his heartbeat thudding as it tried to come down from the enormous high they had both experienced. Amy felt exactly the same, her body still tingling from what Sheldon had done to her, she had no idea it would have felt so good. She had no idea he would be so good.
Completely inexperienced, she really didn't have anything at all to compare it to but once the initial awkward fumble was over, she could have sworn he was an expert at this. She only hoped she had performed just as well.
"Well, that was pretty amazing" Amy giggled rather girlishly, her body floating in a sea of oxytocin and endorphins. She couldn't recall a time she had been happier.
"I enjoyed it very much" Sheldon responded as the arm that he had draped around Amy pulled her closer. Amy felt so content. She had spent her whole life wanting someone to want her like this, Sheldon had spent his whole life never knowing it was possible to want someone like this.
"I love you" Amy revealed, tilting her head slightly to look up at him from beneath her lashes. By no means was this the first time they had revealed their love to one another but after the huge event that had just taken place she felt it very appropriate. "Thank you for the most wonderful birthday"
"You're very welcome" he squeezed her tighter. "Oh, and I love you too" he added with a smile as he placed a gentle kiss to the top of her head.
