As always, I own nothing like the charaters and that sort of thing.

100% Fiyeraba as a heads up, if it's not obvious by the first few paragraphs.

Hopefully this story blossems into something great!

R&R :]


Chapter One

'Elphaba, my sweet love, please be patient with me. I know you want this as bad as I do.' Fiyero stared off into space as he waited. That's all that he was really doing at the moment, waiting. Fiyero and Elphaba's two year anniversary of being together was tomorrow. The current time was 11:49pm, only 11 minutes to go. The moonlight shone brightly through a nearby window onto the navy blue carpet in their condo. The condo was only temporary until they found somewhere that felt a little more like home.

Elphaba drummed her fingers impatiently on the windowsill as she waited for midnight to come. It was plenty dark outside, but they both knew it would be more special to wait. What they were waiting for was indeed, sex. They had never engaged in sexual activity prior to what will become of this night, and now it seems the right time. After all, they had been together for nearly two years now, clearly their relationship doesn't revolve around sexual needs.

Anyone that knew Fiyero or Elphaba would be able to tell you that their relationship is one to treasure. Elphaba, being green, didn't really expect Fiyero the Winkie Prince to even concider her. But he did, and she remembers that very day he asked her to be his girlfriend.

It was nearly one thirty in the afternoon, Fiyero sat in his normal spot in the back of the room for 's class. He chose the very back for a few reasons. Catching up on sleep, not paying attention, and bringing all the Ozbucks one could carry and stashing it under his jacket were among them. But there was another reason, one reason no one would ever guess. Fiyero sat in the very back of the room so he could see Elphaba. Elphaba Thropp was a charater. She was smart, cunning, not to mention beautiful. Of course she was green, and for that ridiculed every single day of her life. If Fiyero would have been in her situation he would have commited suicide by now. Elphaba was so strong she wasn't even phased anymore by the pointed fingers and the smart remarks about her skin. Fiyero saw past that and saw her real beauty.

Elphaba was like Fiyero's shiny penny, she always made him smile like an idiot. Even if she merely cast him a passing glance—or glare, it put a grin to his face. Her voice to him was like a five star performance of the Royal Ozian Orchestra. Music to his ears, sweet, sweet music. All of his life he was surrounded by attractive young ladies throwing themselves at him; One in particular was Galinda Upland. But he had no interest in them at all, he only saw one girl in his life: Elphaba Thropp.

It had been several weeks that he had really noticed Elphaba and her amazing traits, and he simply couldn't hold in his excitement any longer. Today after class he would ask her to be his girlfriend. His confidence soared, and for him that was like being from some super confident species from another planet. The class slowly ticked by second by second, to Fiyero's demise. He was becoming restless, but couldn't do a thing about it but wait. Fiyero was honestly god-awful at waiting, he isn't really accustomed to it. Then doubtful thoughts began to seep into his mind. Slowly he became less and less confident, until he actually had freaked himself out. Something he did not tolerate was not getting what he wanted. Fiyero had always had everything handed to him, never had he actually had to try to get what he wanted. That was another reason why he longed for her, she was something he truly had to work for. Having to work for something, makes that something that much better.

Finally the class ended and Fiyero jumped out of his seat immediately. Elphaba was usually the first person out of class, so he had to catch up to her pace. Luckily he met her stride as she was walking out the door into the main hall. He didn't know what to say, he was lost in her beautiful face. Her eyes sparkeled a brilliant green today, which sparked his confidence once more. Obviously she was in a good mood, hopefully he would not ruin it. He couldn't tear his eyes away from her, but they kept walking in silence. Did she even notice he was there? She must, she was smarter than that. He could grovel in her amazingness all day, but he has to get to the point before they reached the dorms. Fiyero grabbed both of her shoulders and moved her to face him. Nothing escaped her emerald green lips. All he could muster was, 'Elphaba…'

'Yes, Fiyero? Can I help you? I have quite a bit of work to do to prepare for my classes tomorrow..so if you could get on with it that'd be lovely.' A bit of dry sarcasm seeped into her words. Clearly there was something up with the Winkie Prince, but what was it? Probably Galinda problems, like usual. That blonde was always all over him like a five year old with a brand new puppy.

Fiyero took a long deep breath and looked into her eyes once more and saw that everlasting sparkle he saw minutes before. 'I'm sorry..for wasting your time like this..' He trailed off and took another long breath. 'It's rather hard to say.'

Elphaba's sarcastic attitude drained from her as fast as it had came. Maybe he actually had something intelligent to say for once. Elphaba simply waited, and said nothing but nodded her head for him to continue.

He tried shaking off his sudden nervousness and asked, 'Elphaba can I ask you a question? Being serious in all respects?'

She shifted through her mind for a time that she had ever heard him say something about being serious. Never had he before. Was he actually being serious, or just shitting her? With a slight raise to one eyebrow she replied, 'Yes, go ahead.'

Why was this so hard for him to do? The almighty Winkie Prince doesn't get nervous. But of course, it's only human. He ran a hand through his smooth hair, and was just out with it. 'Elphaba, will you be my girlfriend?'
