History Heartwarming / TheBigBangTheory

* Overlooked because the joke is that Sheldon is CompletelyMissingThePoint, but in "The Psychic Vortex" Raj and Sheldon managed to make two (quite hot) female friends with Abby and Martha. While Raj and Abby were making out and Martha hadn't figured out Sheldon's {{asexual}}ity yet (but still enjoying each others company), she asked if she could stay with Sheldon in his room as the others weren't going anywhere tonight. He, of course, did not know what she was implying but agreed to let her in. As she sat on his bed he said, "Make yourself comfortable, I'll go ahead and sleep in Leonard's room tonight." All things considered, especially since Sheldon generally does not like people in his room, that was quite a gentlemanly thing to do.

* Your Mileage may Vary on this one, but in S05E05, Howard gets offered to go to the international space station, Bernadette ends up trying to convince him otherwise and even goes behind Howard's back to his mother. She ends up making amends with him and apologises, her reasoning being that she'd be devestated to lose him and that he's her soulmate. To see Howard Wolowitz of all people get someone who cares and loves him that much and doesn't want to lose him is heartwarming.
* Also from S05E05, Wil Wheaton giving Sheldon a mint condition Wesley Crusher action figure signed "To Sheldon, sorry it took so long. Your pal, Wil Wheaton.", this troper isn't sure if this means Wil Wheaton and Sheldon buried the hatchet and will be friends from now on or not, but it was a really nice gesture on his part.

* In "The Toast Derivation" Sheldon balks at his circle of friends changing things up by having dinner at Raj's place, so he seeks to acquire a new group of friends including Zack, Barry Kripke and Stuart. After a disasterous attempt at a group activity (mostly the new guys ignoring the stuff Sheldon had planned) Sheldon figured that changing his schedule was worth keeping his original group of friends. So he walked to Raj's apartment by himself and he humbly said between [[RunningGag knocks on the door]] "All my friends... all my friends... all my friends."

* [[spoiler: Wil Wheaton]] making up for something Sheldon took offense to decades ago

--->'''Penny:''' Oh sweetie, I don't really want tea.
--->'''Sheldon:''' I'm sorry, it's not optional.
--->''Penny smirks at this.''

-->'''Sheldon''': The true hero doesn't seek adulation, he fights for what is right simply because it's his nature...I was wrong. Minstrels will write songs about "you".
--->There once was a brave lad named Leonard, fi fi fiddle dee dee. He faced a fearsome giant, when Raj just wanted to pee...

* "The Vegas Renormalization". Sheldon is locked out of the apartment with the others in Las Vegas, and has to stay with Penny. After a night full of his usual unreasonable demands, he surprises her and everyone by sincerely thanking her for letting him stay. It's not much, but coming from Sheldon it's remarkably touching.

'''Penny''': It's just so weird, [[CasanovaWannabe Howard Wolowitz]] ''is'' [[SincerityMode my friend]].\\

** Similarly, him recognizing Penny as a close friend when [[spoiler: her and Leonard break up.]]
---> "I've taken great pains to accomodate for your presense in my life, it would be a shame for it all be a waste."

* In "The Herb Garden Germination", Howard [[spoiler: proposes to]] Bernadette. [[spoiler: She says yes]]

-->Priya: ''"Nice of you to come for Howard."''\\
Penny: ''"Well... he's my friend, it's what you do." (starts giggling)''\\
Priya: ''"I'm sorry did I miss something?"''\\
Penny: ''It's just so weird, [[CasanovaWannabe Howard Wolowitz]] IS [[SincerityMode my friend]]."''\\

* Given how he normally treats his friends, Sheldon (having accidentally drunk tequila) telling Leonard "I love you so much" was pretty aww-worthy.

* When Sheldon suggests to Amy that they treat their relationship like a malfunctioning computer and restore it to the last point they both agree that it worked after [[spoiler: she kisses him while drunk]]. Rather callous for anyone else, comparing a friendship to a computer, but given that we're discussing ''Sheldon''...

* In "The Herb Garden Germination", Howard [[spoiler: proposes to]] Bernadette. [[spoiler: She says yes]]

-->[[spoiler:'''Raj:''' Dude, now you have to forgive him! I haven't cried like this since [[ToyStory Toy Story 3]]! ]]

* In "The Apology Insufficiency", Sheldon accidentally prevents Howard from gaining security clearance to work on a giant laser, and is visibly guilt-ridden about it and spends the remainder of the episode trying to earn Howard's forgiveness. That in itself is unusual for Sheldon, but the fact that he [[spoiler: gives Howard his spot, the 'one point from which his entire universe revolves', just to get the guilt off his chest is legitimately sweet. [[StatusQuoIsGod Even if it only takes Sheldon 49 seconds to change his mind.]] ]]
