Sheldon Swifties LXIII: "The Proposition Rejection…"
Summary: Like my Immortal Beloved bits in my Buffyverse stories, these are fragments and short bits, some longer…Just to fiddle with ideas, possibly forming longer tales later.
Disclaimer: All is Chuck's…
Amy looking rather dumbfounded at Sheldon…Who frowned…
Fine… "I suppose we must have the conventional…" he got down on one knee.
"Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler…Will you do me, and of course, yourself, the honor…"
"No." Amy, quietly. "Please get up, Sheldon."
He blinked… "What did you say?"
"I said…No. Now please get up."
"But…" Sheldon stared, rising… "I thought you wanted a commitment. Amy?...You said you wanted more…"
Sigh…
"Sheldon…I love you more than anything in this world. But I deserve better than to be a fill-in for Leonard Hofstadter because Sheldon Cooper is afraid to be alone. I won't build a life on that…"
"But…"
"I want you to ask because you need me more than anything else in this world, the way I need you. I won't settle for anything less."
Tremble as he stared…
No…No…I will not…She thought…
For him as much as me…
"You don't want to be with me…?" childlike hurt stare…
Oh, God…I don't deserve this….I don't…
"Sheldon. Nothing will change between us. But I won't marry you now, not now…Sorry."
"But Amy…The gypsy lady said I had to work things out with you to settle my destiny."
"Sheldon…" holding down tears… "This is not working things out…This is desperation and fear. I can't have my life built on that."
"Oh, pshaw. Lots of people do…Penny and Leonard are…"
"I don't believe they are…It took time but Penny…"
"She gets one decent acting job that requires her to be away and farewell, Leonard, thanks for being my little security blanket."
"That's not true…And if it were, do you think that's I want? To be your security blanket till you don't need me?!"
"But…I'll always need you…"
OK…That's it, God…You are a son of a bitch! She fumed.
"Amy? Are you angry?"
"Yes, I'm angry!" she stamped. "You can come up with all these things I've waited years to hear, dreamed of hearing you say, now…Only because you're scared to death you'll be all alone now Leonard can't hold your hand anymore. Well, go live with Leonard and Penny if they'll have you! You always preferred them to me, anyway!"
Crestfallen, stunned… "That's not fair." He eyed her. "That's not fair at all." He hurried off to his room, leaving her staring…
Looking down at the coffee table…A card…
"A Wedding…" on front…
Sigh…She picked it up absently…
Sheldon Cooper, always pre…She dropped it in shock…
"Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper and Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler request the pleasure of your presence at their wedding on September (hand written…'Shelly, you have to select the second or third weekend in May or September, Pastor says the church will only be free on those dates, next year and in 2014….Mama) ...2014."
