A little fluff...
The whole way back to the hotel, Amy couldn't believe what had happened.
Sheldon was going to propose to her, all those months ago.
She was sad that she had ruined it. If he had asked back then she would have probably said yes. But then again, would that have been the right thing to do? They had both grown so much in this time apart.
Amy watched Sheldon, his eyes were drooping and heavy, the city lights flashed over his face as it leant against the window of the cab.
Sheldon could see Amy watching him. His hand crept into the space between them and he held onto hers. She squeezed it in return. Sheldon smiled and finally closed his eyes.
Amy felt bad. She had taken Sheldon on this roller coaster ride. He had wanted to talk but she wouldn't let him. As it turns out, that is what was really needed. For them to talk.
They did want the same things. Amy didn't want Sheldon to think that she had just rekindled their relationship because he had a wedding ring though. It was much more than that. She needed to explain that.
She was sure there was still a lot to talk about but for now she enjoyed watching him sleep, knowing that things could only get better from here.

Upon returning to the hotel, Amy took Sheldon back to his room. They were both exhausted, their clothes were clinging to their skin, Amy's make-up was streaming down her face from her tears, and Sheldon's eyes were heavy and drooping from pursuing Amy all evening. The sore, stiff neck he got from leaning against the germ-infested cab window was not worth the small amount of sleep he had gotten.
They reached his door and Sheldon slid his key into the lock and turned. Snoring could be heard inside. That was strange, Leonard didn't snore. The couple looked at each other in confusion before stepping closer into the gloomy room.
Penny lay sprawled with Leonard in bed, her head was face down into her pillow, and the grunting coming from her was causing the whole room to vibrate. Clothes were everywhere. Sheldon and Amy could immediately see what they had been doing.
Sheldon turned to Amy with a disgusted look on his face, "No concern for us then" he said sarcastically, "Just their own addiction to carnal activities. Honestly, her snoring is louder than a steam train whistle"
Amy snorted in laughter.
Sheldon shushed her since the sound caused the couple to stir in their sleep. Penny rolled over and cuddled up to Leonard.
"What do I do? I don't want to stay here with them!" Sheldon giggled.
Amy nudged him with her shoulder.
"Why don't you stay with me?"
Sheldon looked deep into her eyes. The laughter had stopped and Amy was looking back at him. Sheldon was suddenly overcome with affection, his cheeks flushed as he felt a tingling sensation in the pit of his stomach, Amy was staring in anticipation, her eyes almost seemed to change colour as he saw her pupils dilate.
He nodded, "Okay"

Amy and Sheldon giggled and hushed each other as they shuffled down the corridor to the room that Amy had been sharing with Penny. She slid the key into the slot and flung the door open.
The room looked the same as when they had left it earlier in the day apart from the light pink bag that was once on Penny's bed had been replaced with Sheldon's case.
Amy walked over to the window and drew the curtains. Sheldon unzipped his bag.
"Did you ask them to bring my things here?" he asked.
"No. They probably wanted to share a room though and assumed we'd be fine so just swapped you around" Amy reasoned.
Sheldon pressed his lips together and nodded in understanding. He was hoping that Amy had secretly planned this by calling and asking if they could share a room tonight, "What made them think we'd be okay with this? They didn't know we'd made up"
But Amy had already gone into the bathroom and now emerged wearing her nightgown, the fresh scent of mint followed her out. Sheldon gulped and quickly gathered his things together.
He swapped with her and went into the bathroom.
When Sheldon had finished with his nightly routine, he unlocked the door and crept out into the dark room. Amy was in her bed, he could see her chest rising and falling, and her breathing was heavy. She must be asleep.
Sheldon shuffled over to his own bed and climbed under the cold sheets, shivering. It was very late now, he wasn't surprised that Amy had fallen asleep so quickly. He tried to sleep too, matching his breathing pattern with Amy's.
It was so quiet that Sheldon was shocked when she spoke up, "Sheldon?" she asked.
"I thought you were asleep" He whispered back.
"No" she said in reply, "I was waiting for you"
There was silence, Sheldon didn't know what she meant. What did she mean, 'waiting for him?'
Luckily his questions were answered.
"I couldn't sleep"
"Me neither. It takes me a while to get used to an unfamiliar bed. This one's really cold"
"You know, maybe we could move our beds. Just so they're a little closer together" Amy suggested "You're really far away" She scrunched her eyes, knowing her suggestion would be met with a blunt refusal.
Sheldon, however, quickly flicked the light switch on and the room lit up. He jumped out of bed and put on his slippers. He squatted against the side of the bed and with all his strength, started pushing it towards Amy's.
"I'm fine by the way" he sarcastically grunted through gritted teeth.
Amy was instantly by his side and together they pushed until the two single beds met to form one big bed.
They climbed in together. The sheets were still cold and so Amy pressed her body as close to Sheldon's as possible, hoping he wouldn't mind. He responded, however, by wrapping his arms around her and resting his chin on her neck.
Warmth spread through Amy. She nestled into the crook of Sheldon's neck and breathed in his scent. Their legs intertwined, Sheldon placed a kiss on Amy's forehead before closing his eyes, and in response Amy lightly pecked his neck. He smiled and pressed his lips to her head. They both sighed and relaxed.
Never had the pair been so cosy and comfortable.
They soon fell asleep.
Only one more chapter left! I'm really sad this is ending :'(
