Thank you for all your thoughts and comments. I have a few more chapters at the ready, but please comment any thoughts you have. Also there is a Doctor Who reference in their. Kudos if you can find it!

This one is a little short, but be ready for more!

Elphaba had been waiting for almost ten minutes before Fiyero ran in, panting heavily.
"What happened? Did you get swarmed by a mob of girls again?" she asked sarcastically.
"No and I don't like the implication that its happened before. "
"Has it?"
"That's not really the point now is it."
"No. The point is that you're ten minutes late to our first meeting. Explanation?"
"I couldn't find the library" he said sheepishly.
"Seriously?!"
"In my defense I'm new here."
"Oh don't give me that, you've been her a month and you've never been anywhere near the library. I can see why your failing."
"You're judging me again."
"Ya but I know you now." she said smiling mischievously up at him.
He chuckled in spite of himself at her retort.
"So are we going to study or what?"
"Yes, lets. I booked us a private pod. Lets go."
The walked through the intricate rows of book-filled shelves, Elphaba lead him, expertly twisting and turning without looking back to see if he was keeping up. Fiyero on the other hand had no idea where he was going. He tried to keep up with Elphaba's quick strides, surprised at how large the library actually was. It seemed so much smaller on the outside.
They finally reached their destination and Fiyero gulped nervously. Elphaba opened the door to the small four-walled area. He just looked at it. Even though the wall that held the door was glass the rest where windowless. He knew it would be a problem. He slowly walked to the door but did not enter.
"Wanna actually come inside Tiggular?" she said as she started unpacking her books and setting them on the table.
He swallowed hard, clenched his right fist on the strap of his bag and nervously began tapping his left hand against his upper leg. He entered, looking around anxiously.
This didn't go unnoticed by Elphaba, who furrowed her brow and watched the uncomfortable prince.
He finally sat down. She grabbed one of the larger books and opened it, thumbing through it until she found the page she was looking for. She slid to him.
"Read the chapter. When you're done, write a short essay about it. Don't worry, I'm not grading it, I just want to see what lever you are at."
He nodded slightly without an actual verbal comment, took the book and began to read.
She watched for a second before taking one of her own textbooks and beginning to read and take notes.
They both read in silence for a few minutes before Fiyero started tapping his pen. Elphaba looked at him, waiting for him to realize what he was doing, but when he didn't she coughed lightly. He looked up and she pointed her gaze at his still taping pen. He stopped instantly.
"Thank you."
They both went back to the books, but in even shorter time than before he started bouncing his foot, which caused the whole table to move.
"Damn it! FIYERO!" She said exasperated when the movement caused her to mess-up her otherwise perfect notes.
"I'm sorry. " he looked as she tried to save her notes that now had random squiggly lines on it. She just sighed angrily.
"I'm gonna go to the bathroom, ok?"
"Ya fine" she said without looking up.
"Um how do I get there?"
"Just go down the hallway. They're at the entrance." She saw his incredulous and remembered they way she had led him to their current spot. "I just wanted to scare you. "
He rolled his eyes before walking out.

Fiyero was walking back when he passed the long tables near the entrance. Out of the corner of his eye he saw something green and instinctively looked to see what it was. To his surprise, there was Elphaba, in the exact same position he had left her just minutes before. The books were all laid out and his was open to the page he had been reading. He approached slowly and cautiously, unsure of what was happening. He sat down and looked at her. She finished reading the paragraph she was on and look up to meet his gaze. She nodded ever so slightly, but Fiyero caught the movement. He returned to his book.
It was another hour before he finished the essay. When he was done he handed the paper to her. She took it and returned to her book.
"Thank you" he said, trying to communicate how he really felt.
She stared up at him. "We all have our fears. Mine is heights and yours is enclosed spaces."
He nodded not really sure how to reply. She held his gaze for another second before returning to her book. After that he left without another word.

So, ya Fiyero is claustrophobic... I hope you liked it and again, don't forget to leave a comment!
