~~The Break Up~~

The evening was overcast, and the air in the café seemed heavy with unspoken words. Amy Farrah Fowler and Sheldon Cooper had chosen this place to celebrate their fifth anniversary, but instead of celebration, the air was charged with tension.

Sheldon meticulously arranged his napkin and cutlery, his expression as meticulous as his arrangements. Amy, seated across from him, looked at him with a mix of frustration and sadness.

"Amy, is something wrong?" Sheldon asked, his voice tinged with a hint of annoyance as he noticed her distant stare.

Amy took a deep breath, trying to steady her emotions. "Sheldon, we need to talk about us."

Yes, they finally do the deed. But it's been nearly half year since their firsts..and last month, a successful celebration of Penny and Leonard's engagement party came to them when Sheldon and Amy was drunk enough to do it again. But it seems that Sheldon's been avoiding what had happened last month, and Amy's sensing that he's embarrassed about it and can't let himself be seen as some hippy guy that walks around the corners of Pasadena. And through this past month, Amy's been trying to amend the relationship agreement, a way for Sheldon to feel that she's in their relationship, but there's no help, Sheldon's been so distant and has been reasoning out that he's busy about his job that's why he can't attend their regular Skype meetings. And because it's their 5th year anniversary today, Sheldon has to attend and celebrate the day with Amy given that they've been clearly having issues since last month's unscheduled, sinned, drunken incident coitus.

Sheldon looked up, his brow furrowing. "About us? What's there to discuss? Everything is proceeding according to my expectations."

Amy's voice quivered with suppressed emotion. "That's exactly it. You've been so rigid and dismissive lately. It feels like you're not willing to even consider my perspective or feelings."

Sheldon adjusted his glasses, his tone becoming defensive. "I'm simply adhering to logical processes. My routines are essential for my productivity and well-being. If you find them inconvenient, I'm unsure how I can address that without compromising my own needs."

Amy's eyes flashed with frustration. "It's not just about routines, Sheldon. It's about empathy and compromise. You're not even trying to understand how your behavior affects me. It feels like you're more interested in maintaining your routines than in maintaining our relationship."

Sheldon's face hardened, and he leaned back in his chair. "Amy, if you cannot accept my way of living, then perhaps we're fundamentally incompatible. I have specific needs and preferences that are crucial for my functioning. I cannot simply ignore them."

Amy's voice wavered as she replied, "I'm not asking you to ignore your needs. I'm asking for some flexibility and understanding."

Sheldon looking away, fidgeting with the edge of the napkin towel placed on his lap.

"Sheldon…I just want you to acknowledge me too…that I am part of this relationship…this is not about the physical intimacy I want on us, but I feel like we're drifting apart. We don't spend much time together anymore, and I'm really missing that connection we used to have. I just want us to be closer again."

Sheldon look at Amy, Amy who's trying tohold on her tears. Amy tries to catch Sheldon's but it goes back again to his lap and Sheldon started to talk..

"Amy, I've been giving this a lot of thought. I believe it would be more beneficial if we reduced the amount of time we spend together."

"What? Why would you say that? Is this about the night we had a few weeks ago? I thought we were both just drunk and—"

"It's not just that. It's more complex. I've realized that our relationship might be better if we—"

"No, Sheldon. I don't understand. We've been together for five years. I thought we were building something. I want to work on this, not end it."

"I don't think there's anything left to work on. It seems we've reached an impasse, and it might be more efficient to terminate our relationship."

"Are you serious? It feels like you've already made up your mind, and you're not even listening to me. I don't want this to end, not like this, not today."

"Amy, it's a rational decision. It's not about feelings but about efficiency and practicality. Our relationship is no longer fulfilling its intended purpose."

"Today is our fifth anniversary, Sheldon. I can't believe this is happening now. We owe it to ourselves to at least try to understand each other before making such a drastic decision."

"I've given it considerable thought. This is the conclusion I've arrived at. I believe it's best for both of us."

With a heavy heart, Amy nodded. "If this is really what you want, I can't change your mind. But I hope you know that I'm heartbroken and that I really tried to make this work."

This dialogue captures the emotional complexity of the situation and the contrast between Amy's desire to work on the relationship and Sheldon's decision to end it based on his own reasons.

"Goodbye, Sheldon."

As Amy left the café, she felt the weight of the conversation settling heavily on her shoulders. The relationship that had once brought her joy now felt like a closed chapter.
