She is more than a girl, more than a friend...
(Finally made it to the Shamy Anniversary Fluff Crawlspace held by @nerdforestgirl)
Sheldon is first introduced to Amy in S3E23, “The Lunar Excitation”. Their conversation took 60 seconds but their chemistry was immediate and ever lasting.
Amy: Excuse me. I’m Amy Farrah Fowler. You’re Sheldon Cooper.
Sheldon: Hello, Amy Farrah Fowler. I’m sorry to inform you that you have been taken in by unsupportable mathematics designed to prey on the gullible and the lonely. Additionally, I’m being blackmailed with a hidden dirty sock.
Amy: If that was slang, I’m unfamiliar with it. If it was literal, I share your aversion to soiled hosiery. In any case, I’m here because my mother and I have agreed that I will date at least once a year.
Sheldon: Interesting. My mother and I have the same agreement about church.
Amy: I don’t object to the concept of a deity, but I’m baffled by the notion of one that takes attendance.
Sheldon: Well, then you might want to avoid East Texas.
Amy: Noted. Now, before this goes any further, you should know that all forms of physical contact up to and including coitus are off the table.
Sheldon: May I buy you a beverage?
Amy: Tepid water, please.
We hear Sheldon “defending” himself from his friends taunting him… “She is a girl, and she is a friend but she is not my girlfriend.” He confesses that not only had he continued talking to her for 4 months, but that they spoke to each other ON A DAILY BASIS. Socially awkward Sheldon didn’t realize that he had fallen hard for this girl from the moment they met. more than he was willing to notice or admit.
“By any standard, Amy is more similar to me than anyone I’ve ever met…. whether you see it or not is irrelevant.” - Sheldon Cooper
In S5E8 “The Isolation Permutation” Sheldon worried something is wrong with his “friend”.
Sheldon: Sorry. I’m a little distracted. I can’t seem to get in touch with Amy. I tried e-mail, video chat, tweeting her, posting on her Facebook wall, texting her, nothing.
That’s a lot of worrying. He goes check up on her. She confesses she finds herself craving human intimacy and physical contact. They enter a negotiation of sorts to meet halfway.
Amy: Proposal. One wild night of torrid lovemaking that soothes my soul and inflames my loins.
Sheldon: Counter-proposal. I will gently stroke your head and repeat, aw, who’s a good Amy.
Amy: How about this? French kissing, seven minutes in heaven culminating in second base.
Sheldon: Neck massage, then you get me that beverage.
Amy: We cuddle. Final offer.
Sheldon: Very well. Oh, boy. (They cuddle, awkwardly.)
And the thing is, he didn’t have to enter this negotiation or even accept any offer she made.
He wasn’t obliged to do so. After all, as he had stated many times before… “ She’s a girl and she’s a friend but she is not my girlfriend”.
But, his actions show that Amy is and always was much MORE than that. She is a bird of a feather. A woman with an admirable mind. A person who he likes, quirks and all. She challenges him. Stands up to him like no one can or has. She understands him. HE HAS NEVER TRIED TO CHANGE HER. He’s never commented on her physical appearance because he’s always seen what is within her. She keeps him interested. She’s his vixen, his peach, his little lady.
His comfort who held him when his enemy/colleague was smarter. His advice giver when he can’t figure out what to do with his roommate’s girlfriend. His hand to hold when his friend goes to the space. His confidant to share his best kept secret. The only one to touch his mind, heart and his body (in that order).
She is his one true love.
