Elphaba was content to be in Fiyero's arms. They were on the run and in the middle of a forest but she was blissfully happy. In her wildest dreams she had never imagined Fiyero willing choosing her. She sighed as she lent further back into his embrace.
Fiyero's back was leaning against a tree trunk the girl who had haunted his dreams for the past few years held safely in his arms. He kissed the top of her head. She was his angel, his Fae. She owned his heart and had since that day with the Lion cub.
Elphaba turned so she was lying next to Fiyero. She felt as if he had found her in the turmoil since she had defied the Wizard. She melted as he kissed her and smiled stupidly when they broke apart.
They were nearly in pitch darkness and they would have been in complete darkness if not for the small camp fire Fiyero had lit. Elphaba stared into the flames, the shadows dancing around them.
For the first time since leaving Shiz and being announced as a wicked witch, Elphaba was happy, comfortable and warm. She tucked her legs up under her long skirts. Fiyero pulled her close again as she shivered in a cool wind that had just picked up.
Soon, Elphaba let her heavy lids fall closed and she fell asleep with a smile on her face. Fiyero noticed and kissed the top of her head again. He twirled strands of her hair in his fingers as she slept. That is, until her hand swiped at his in her sleep and he stopped, chuckling.
He ducked his head down to rub his nose on hers. She scrunched her face up and her eyes fluttered open. Fiyero started to apologise but Elphaba pulled his face back down and kissed him.
She could stay there with him forever.
