Author: lovepass77

Rating: T for sexuality and language

Genre: Romance/Comfort

Summary: In the Isolation Permutation episode Amy convinced Sheldon to cuddle with her after a long negotiation process where they each proposed different forms of human intimate acts and physical contact to do with one another. So I've written a fun little camping trip story to allow some of those acts to come to past.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters. They all belong to CBS and Chuck Lorre.

Recap: Just for your convenience here's a short quote by quote recap of their proposals to one another during the episode.

Amy: "Proposal. One wild night of torrid lovemaking that soothes my soul and inflames my loins."

Sheldon: "Counterproposal. 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."

Chapter 1: The Neck Massage Negotiation

Dr. Sheldon Cooper walks up to apartment 314. He just received some very upsetting news so he's come to discuss it with his girlfriend Amy Farrah Fowler. As Sheldon approaches the door he can hear her inside singing and playing the harp. He pauses outside the door to listen for a moment before knocking on her door.

Amy sits on a small wooden stool by her harp. She passionately plucks the harp strings as she sweetly sings one of her favorite songs by a band called Cheap Trick. In her mind this song represents how she feels about Sheldon.

Amy: "I want you to want me.

I need you to need me.

I'd love you to love me.

I'm beggin' you to beg me.

I'll shine up the old brown shoes, put on a brand-new shirt.

I'll get home early from work if you say that you love me."

Sheldon has heard enough of this sappy love song so he decides to interrupt her singing. He knocks three times in his usual manner.

Sheldon: "Amy!"

He knocks three more times. Amy stops singing and smiles as she looks towards the door excited to hear his voice again.

Sheldon: "Amy!"

Hearing her name come out of his lips makes Amy tingle with delight inside. She stands up and walks towards the door anxious to see him, but she knows she can't open it until he finishes his compulsive, customary knocking routine.

Sheldon knocks again three final times just slightly louder than the first two series of knocks.

"Amy" he calls out one last time expecting an immediate response from her.

She opens the door with a smile on her face.

Amy: "Hello, Sheldon come in. I received your electronic communication, but didn't respond back because I am not familiar with the slang terminology you used. What does K.M.N mean?"

Sheldon walks in to her apartment with a frown on his face.

Sheldon: "K.M.N is a colloquial expression used on the internet amongst urban youth. It means kill me now. I had the misfortunate of learning the term after some ungrateful students tweeted about me. Remember I told you about them and you suggested I try to learn acting to impress them, but Penny turned out to be an awful teacher."

Amy thinks about it for a second then nods her head.

Sheldon sighs sadly then sits down on the couch looking forlorn. Amy can already tell that Sheldon is quite upset about something so she heads for the kitchen.

Amy: "What will it be this time Sheldon? Hot cocoa, tea or perhaps you'd like me to heat up some Strawberry Nesquik?

Sheldon: "Unless you have some hot arsenic back there I don't see the use of any beverages at this point."

Amy: "Of course I have some," she says in a matter of fact tone without realizing he is actually being sarcastic at the moment.

Amy opens one of her kitchen cabinets containing numerous vials of chemical compounds organized by their atomic number and mass. She looks for a bottle of arsenic trioxide, finds it and takes it out of the cabinet.

Sheldon: "Amy, my career has reached a depressing dead end. I've devoted my entire life to solving the mysteries of the universe and it's all been for naught. I might as well retire to a life of teaching fifth graders how to make macaroni art dioramas and volcanoes out of baking soda. Perhaps even give up entirely join the liberal arts department and become completely useless to society.

Sheldon leans his aching head and neck against her couch hoping it will offer him a little relief from the pain. He pouts his lip out a bit like a whining toddler waiting for her to comfort him.

Amy leaves the bottle of arsenic on the counter and frowns with worry. She walks around the couch to sit down beside him.

Amy: "What do you mean your career is over?"

He sits up straight again so he can tell her what happened.

Sheldon: "Today, President Seibert announced in the cafeteria that he authorized an unreasonable charitable donation to some new urban youth group. Now the board of education at our university has put together a team of scientists from different departments to go on a scientific expedition with inner city students. These kids have absolutely no scientific background whatsoever. That means I, Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper one of the worlds most decelerated theoretical physicists will be forced to work with geologists and biologists and…."

He pauses for a second with a look of extreme disgust on his face at what he has to do.

Sheldon: "….even anthropologists!"

Amy: "Oh come on, Sheldon it doesn't sound that bad. You might even have fun."

Sheldon: "Not that bad? Why its scientific chaos waiting to happen! I can barely stand working on projects with lesser minds like Leonard and Koothrappali who are at least physicists. Most of the scientists on the team already hate me for my genius and the physic department beat them in semi-annual paintball championship. This is a nightmare.

Amy sighs, but she doesn't say anything until he finishes his rant.

Sheldon: "Some of these so called scientists wouldn't know the first thing about histrionic string theory. We will be lucky if the urban youth gangsters we are being forced to babysit on this excursion murder us on the bus before we leave the school grounds because that is only the half of it. We're going on a scientific expedition to Yosemite national forest do you realize what that means? It means camping Amy!"

Sheldon stands up; he rubs his aching neck and starts pacing back and forth behind Amy's couch.

Sheldon: "Part of the reason I became a theoretical physicist is because it involves mostly indoor activities. At least once a year Leonard, Koothrappali and Wolowitz go on a camping trip to the desert and I never go with them. I always stay home and work on solving the mysteries of the universe. This is an unmitigated disaster waiting to happen. Everything in the woods terrifies me."

Amy: "Well why didn't you ask President Siebert to just take you off the team then?"

Sheldon stops pacing for a moment then frowns at her for asking him that question.

Sheldon: "Don't you think I tried that! President Siebert basically said he'll fire me all together if I quit the team. This is worst than when he made me take a vacation."

He keeps rubbing his neck and pouting his lip out about having to go on this camping trip.

Amy: "Sheldon, come sit down. I might be able to help."

Sheldon keeps pouting, but he sits down again on the couch next to Amy.

She gently smiles at him then leans over to rub hand sanitizer on her palms.

Amy: "Take off your jacket."

Sheldon removes his jacket and places it neatly on the back of the couch.

Amy reaches up her hands to massage his neck, but Sheldon moves further away from her on the couch.

Sheldon: "Amy, wait! Uh…what are you trying to do?"

Amy: "You need to relax, and I believe that pain in your neck counts under the booboos and ouches section of our relationship agreement. Don't you?"

Sheldon thinks about this not sure how to respond at first. Truthfully, he didn't even think to add neck massaging to their relationship agreement at all because of his severe dislike for most human contact.

Then he remembers that Amy once told him how to perform a neck massage on himself and it gave him amazing relief. Still he never considered allowing her to give him one. The throbbing veins in his neck demand attention so Sheldon decides that he will forgo the agreement and allow Amy to touch him just this once to relieve the pain in his neck, but first he wants to set some ground rules.

Sheldon: "You must promise to only touch my neck and the back of my shoulders nothing else."

Amy nods at him with seemingly innocent intentions.

Sheldon: "And you promise to stop when I say I've had enough?"

Amy nods again, but this time she moves close to him on the couch as she does so.

Sheldon: "Also, if this doesn't work I want some Aspirin instead."

Amy: "Okay, but in order for me to do this properly you need to also take off your shirt."

He starts to feel incredibly nervous.

Sheldon: "Oh boy! Uh, are you sure that is necessary? "

She smiles at him and rubs more sanitizer on her hands.

Amy: "Yes, trust me; I know what I'm doing."

Sheldon sighs in frustration. He decides it can not be any worse than allowing his mother or Penny to put vapor rub on his chest so he slowly begins to remove his red Flash t-shirt and his long sleeved striped undershirt.

Amy lets her eyes linger as Sheldon's soft round belly button comes into her view for the first time. She licks her pink lips as he pulls his shirt up revealing his very pale smooth stomach and small pink nipples.

Amy feels a warm sensation spreading through her extremities as his shirt comes up over his shoulders and reveals short brown curly hairs dotting his enclave chest cavity.

She watches happily as light freckles along his rib cage move gently up and down with the rhythm of his breathing.

Sheldon begins to fold his shirts neatly then he places them on her coffee table. He is still too nervous to look at her so he turns away so his back is facing her.

Sheldon: "Okay let's get this over with."

Amy trails her eyes down the sharp jutting bones of his spine towards his hips. She lets out a small sigh and whispers "Whooo," under her breath.

Sheldon: "What? Did you say something?"

Her cheeks start to turn red with embarrassment and she is glad he is facing away from her otherwise she feels like she might try to jump his bones right now.

Amy: "Uh nothing, I didn't say anything."

Amy slowly reaches her hands up to touch Sheldon's bare shoulders. She locates a myofascial trigger point at the base of Sheldon's neck and rotates it. Then she bears down on it to relax the contracted muscles in his shoulders. She moves her fingers in slow kneading counterclockwise position.

Amy: "Hey Sheldon, I have a proposal for you so please keep an open mind. What would you say about me accompanying you on this camping trip? I mean I was a boy scout for two years before they found out I was a girl so I might be able to help you out in the wild."

Sheldon does not speak but instead his breathing becomes erratic; he straightens his back and tightly grips the back of the couch with his hand enjoying the intense irresistible pleasure of her hands. She moves her hands down past his shoulders sending exquisite electric shocks through his extremities.

Amy: "So what do you think? Can I come with you?"

Sheldon: "Yes...Oh god…Yes!"

She grins with excitement knowing that finally she has Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper right where she wants him. He is putty in her hands and she is very pleased with herself for winning yet another negotiation. Ever since he held her hand during Wolowitz's space launch Amy has been hoping to get some alone time with her man and now she has her chance.

Sheldon: "Just don't stop!"

Amy continues kneading his shoulders as she makes a quick mental note to send an email to President Seibert to thank him for deciding to allow his university to participate in the charitable organization that she suggested to him a month earlier.

Author's Note: I hope people will enjoy this new story because my first fan fic Schrödinger's Catastrophe is full of a lot of sad angst for this couple so I want to make this one a happier SHAMY story. I'll do my best to keep them in character, but just a heads up Sheldon will be experiencing quite a lot of physical contact with Amy and a few others in this story so I'm letting everyone know that now in case people think that its out of character for Sheldon to be so intimate this story is more about showing a sexier side of Sheldon. Sorry, in advance if that offends anyone.

I just want it to be more fun, romantic and sexy, but not vulgar. I'm not sure if they'll get as far as coitus I'll probably stop before it goes that far just depends on whether people like what I'm writing or not. So if you have any feedback please leave comments and thanks for reading.
