Disclaimer: I do not and will never own Wicked…sadly.

A/N: So I'm bored, VERY bored. Not to get into specifics, but let's just say: Girlfriend's mom hates me, Forbidden to talk, Lots of free time. The end…well of that little story. Anyways, I send my sincerest apologies to the three people who actually reviewed my fanfic for not continuing sooner, but here I am and since I have nothing at all to do besides learn guitar I will most likely be writing fan fiction. By the way, I've lost my touch, so if this chapter or any of the ones in the hopeful future stink as well, I'm sorry, and I haven't a beta. Onto the story though and again, reviews are EXTREMELY appreciated. Oh, and one more thing, if my chapter titles are random, I blame my ADD.

Inappropriate Thinking

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Elphaba grunted at the annoyance beside her head, glaring upon the clock's candle-lit surface she felt Glinda simply snuggle more into her side. Taking a glance at Glinda, Elphaba noted a stray curl lying lazily across her midsection, the blonde's preferred choice of pillow. Figures she chooses my stomach over the half a dozen pink pillows she has. A steady green hand tucks the contrasting pale lock away behind a cream ear while brown eyes focus on the curve of a soft jaw.

"Elphie…" Glinda murmured into the green girl's stomach. Smiling, said green girl returns her hand to blonde curls, gently massaging the sleeping girl's scalp. To Elphaba's surprise, blue eyes flutter open slowly, squinting in the dark. "Go back to sleep, my Sweet…" Elphaba whispers softly, bringing her face near the blonde's. A silent yawn escapes pink lips as blue eyes squint further at the motion. "Elphie," Glinda begins throatily, "what time is it?" The green girl turned her head resulting in a light crack of her neck, but checks the time regardless of her bones. "It's nearly sunrise, Glindy." Elphaba replies, still staring at clock that plagued her only moments before. Tenderly, a manicured hand cups a verdant jaw, turning it towards her. "Watch the sunrise with me?" Glinda asks with a small grin, hoping to win her over.

"Glinda…I really shouldn't go out. If anyone see's me…" As an afterthought, Elphaba lifted her hand and places it on top of Glinda's. "Please?" Glinda was pouting now, that adorable pout that she knew Elphaba couldn't resist. Seconds passed, each wearing the green girl down. Eventually, with a slight nod of her head, Elphaba agreed. The moment Glinda saw her give in, she let out a muffled squeal, covered by her own hands in fear of awaking one of the guards posted at her door. An assault of "thank you"'s were whispered quickly followed by dainty squeezes around Elphaba's neck by the blonde's arms.

The route the pair took to get outside was not as hard as Elphaba had thought. Simply knowing where the guards were and if they were the ones who were awake made the short trip to the garden easy. Elphaba was accustomed to sneaking around and Glinda was more of a map, knowing where everything and everyone was. Glinda lead the way both inside and outside. Smirking, Elphaba followed obediently, simply wanting to be with her Glindy.

"Elphie, isn't it just…beautiful?" Glinda asked almost dreamily. Wrapping an arm around Glinda, Elphaba nodded her consent and turned to the blonde as they leant against a large maple trunk awaiting the sunrise. Sensing eyes son her, Glinda turned around as well. Blue eyes locked with brown, both seeming to get lost into the other's eyes. Still staring, Glinda choked out a 

"What?" Shaking her head was all Elphaba could do before looking up again. Glinda was still gazing, waiting for an answer. "…you…you're more beautiful. That's all…" Elphaba stammered dumbly, a very unbecoming trait on her.

Blinking, the blonde merely looked as though Elphaba had said "You look like a fish out of water." Elphaba's gaze retreated instantly along with her arm. Well wasn't that flattering? Glinda however wasn't satisfied. "Elphie…" When the green girl didn't turn, Glinda grabbed for her arm, forcing her to turn. "Look at me." She said softly, but stern. "What… what else?" Glinda closed her eyes completely for a moment recognizing the stupidity of her inquiry. It was Elphaba's turn to blink now. "…what do you mean?" Glinda opened her eyes at Elphaba's smooth voice. "You must…what else do you think." She paused, swallowing as if she couldn't speak but then continued. "What do you think, of me?" Again, blue eyes met brown, and this time neither blinked. "I-I think…fondly, in the highest I think of you." Elphaba answered sincerely. "I think of you in ways you wouldn't understand." The words seemed to vomit form the green girl's mouth. Glinda sobered even more at this, reaching a hand to caress Elphaba's cheek. "Why wouldn't I understand?" A shiver went down Glinda's spine as Elphaba met Glinda's hand with her own, entwining their fingers. "It's most inappropriate what I think of you." Brown eyes disengaged and looked down, but a squeeze of her hand brought her focus back up. Tension built in Elphaba, almost enough to have her hop on her broom and leave, but she was transfixed by the loving look Glinda was directing at her. Glinda cleared her throat for what she had to say needed to be clear. Composing herself, the blonde grabbed at Elphaba's neck. Elphaba tensed at the sudden, but gentle grip, confused at the shift. Calmly, Glinda leant into a green ear with confidence before whispering words that left Elphaba a pale green from shock.

"I think of you most inappropriately as well."
