When Amy gets sick, Sheldon is there to take care of her, because the relationship agreement says he has to, and he cares about her well-being.

Top 10 Things About Young Sheldon That Make No Sense to a The Big Bang Theory Fan

#11: Amy Might Not Get Nobel Prize “The Confirmation Polarization”
Top 10 Young Sheldon Moments
This sweet, make-you-happy-cry, moment is a great example of the culmination of Sheldon’s emotional growth.

But when he is told that his best chance of winning one is to cut Amy out of the deal, he refuses to be a part of that plan.

And it’s all worth it when they get the phone call that they’ve won.
#10: Pass the Butter “The Indecision Amalgamation”

Sheldon wants Amy to take his dilemma more seriously, so she does, providing exaggerated, over-excited and amazed responses to his descriptions of both gaming systems.

In case there was any doubt in anyone’s mind that Sheldon and Amy were meant to be together, this moment puts those doubts to rest once and for all.
#8: Spider-Man Speech “The Date Night Variable”
Top 10 Spider Man The Animated Series Episodes
If sitcoms have taught us anything, it’s that when you need to say something meaningful but can’t come up with anything on your own, just quote from a movie. Seinfeld used “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan” with Susan’s grieving parents and Sheldon used “Spider-Man” with an angry Amy looking for some heartfelt words. Pro tip: you probably don’t want to tell the person you’re talking to that you just quoted from a movie. Although, in Sheldon’s case, Amy was just happy to hear the words come from his mouth, regardless of their origin.

#5: Tiara “The Shiny Trinket Maneuver”
This one all begins with Sheldon being dismissive of a rather impressive career accomplishment by his girlfriend. Only focused on himself, Sheldon is more excited about his 100 Twitter followers than Amy getting published in a prestigious journal, and as such he needs to apologize. Penny takes him to a jewelry store to look for the perfect apology and, as it turns out, a pocket watch. Although Amy is initially unimpressed when she sees the jewelry box, when she opens it up, it’s a completely different story. Unlike the tiara that causes it, Amy’s reaction to receiving said gift is priceless.

Top 10 Times Sheldon Was the Best Character on The Big Bang Theory
