I love the headcanon of Sheldon being Aroace, but unfortunately the producers decided to represent this in the worst possible way, so I brought this short fanfic to make up for it!
Keep in mind that I wrote this fanfic thinking it would be between the episodes where Sheldon accepts the experiment of living with Amy in Penny's apartment.
xoxo!

"Are we seriously supposed to watch you pack your things?" Amy said, squished against the wall. Sheldon's room certainly wasn't made to fit seven people at the same time.
"Of course, this is an important moment in my life and probably the only time that someone other than you will be able to enter my room." Sheldon replied as he closed another box.
Sheldon walks to the door and closes it, leaving visible the back where a large flag with shades of orange, blue and white can be seen hanging.
"What is this?" Penny asked.
"This What?" Sheldon took the flag off the door.
"This! " Penny pointed her finger at the flag.
"ah, it's the aroace flag" said Sheldon folding the flag.
Penny looked at Sheldon, as if she had no idea what he was talking about.
"Aro what?" Penny said, trying to understand.
"Is this another one of those weird countries you like?" Bernadette said confused.
Sheldon was silent for a moment, that's what he usually does when someone says something stupid to him, he waits for someone to tell him that it's just another sarcastic joke that he didn't understand.
After he was left without an answer, he decided to take the initiative.
" Aroace isn't a country, it's a sexuality. " Now, the entire gang was confused, but before anyone had time to ask anything, Sheldon spoke again.
"Aroace is the abbreviation used to refer to people who identify as aromantic and asexual, they are people who do not feel any or rarely feel sexual and romantic attraction, they are part of the lgbtqia community!"
"Uh, why didn't you ever tell us?" Leonard said, still processing the information.
" Because I never thought it was necessary, in fact, I thought it was obvious. " said Sheldon.
"Just when I thought Sheldon couldn't surprise me, he goes and surprises everyone!" Howard said, already preparing jokes about.
"Well now I think our group has met all the representation quotas, an Indian, a Jew, a Catholic, nerds, the popular blonde and now a queer!" Raj said, his voice sarcastic.
