So apparently there is something wrong with my grammar and spelling...By all means, point out these flaws to me. It bothers me, 'cause writing has always been a strength of mine.
Anyway, enough of my insecurities. Enjoy this little chappie.
Elphaba stood, jaw set, eyes narrowed, lips dangerously thin. She surveyed Fiyero for a moment, his eyes wide in horror. 'She's going to kill me for laughing at a serious moment, and all Galinda and Boq will find is blood everywhere.' he thought to himself, wondering why she had such a thing about 'the showing of emotion at inappropriate times'. She took a tentative step towards him.
"Can I try something?" asked the green girl, her voice almost inaudibly quiet.
"Will it result in my loss of a limb?" Fiyero replied, for once entirely serious.
"I don't know. I've never done it before."
"Sounds ominous." Elphaba shot him a reproving look. "All right, all right." he conceded, surprised such a small, waif-like creature could prove so terrifying. She took a deep breath then three self-assured strides, took him by the shoulders, pulled him down and kissed him square on the lips.
It was clear to Fiyero in an instant that Elphaba had no idea how to kiss someone. She stood rigidly with a vice grip on his shoulders, her eyes wide open. He pushed her away gently, a soft smile on his face. She looked away, cursing the heat that rose to her face.
"Sorry Yero…That was silly. I think I'm just going to-" she muttered, beginning to walk away.
"For once, Elphaba…stop talking." Fiyero replied, catching her hand and pulling her back to him, wrapping his arms around her waist and bending to capture her lips with his. It didn't take long for her to respond to him, sinking her form against his and letting her arms snake up around his neck.
Moments passed before the pair pulled apart, and Fiyero wound a strand of Elphaba's silky black hair around his finger. He opened his mouth to speak, only to be silenced.
"Can I just say…one more thing?" the green girl asked breathlessly, sealing his parted lips with one thin finger. Fiyero nodded his assent. "Wow." Elphaba finished simply, a wide grin spreading across her pretty face.
When Galinda and Boq returned from the impromptu 'date' that night, they were pleasantly surprised to find Fiyero and Elphaba asleep on the couch. Her head lolled onto his shoulder, a book held loosely in her emerald hands. His face was nuzzled into her black hair, one arm draped casually around her shoulders. Galinda looked at Boq with a radiant smile on her face.
"Elphaba made Fiyero read?" she breathed, intertwining her small fingers in Boq's own. He laughed and kissed her gently, his heart soaring. This little blonde was his now, from the gay little hat perched atop her pretty curls to the neat canvas flats she wore on her tiny feet. Boq had to admit, not matter how silly it sounded, that he couldn't be happier.
The figures on the couch stirred, a low grown escaping Elphaba's lips as the book dropped from her hands and she massaged her sore neck.
"Funny thing is, I was enjoying that story." Fiyero laughed, blinking rapidly as his eyes adjusted to the light.
"Mmm..It was always one of my favourites. Ella and the Wizard." Elphaba replied, smiling up at him, unadultarated adoration in her eyes. Those same eyes flicked sideways and caught sight of Boq and Galinda. "Glinny! Boq!" she cried, springing away from Fiyero and running her hands through her hair in an attempt to tidy up. Galinda gave an uncharactaristic smirk and winked at her friend, who sighed and leaned back to her companion, draping herself artfully across his lap.
"Who's for food?" Boq chirped, tactfully steering Galinda into the kitchen. With another wink, Galinda floated out of the room, mouthing the word 'tonight'. Elphaba groaned inwardly. This wasn't going to be fun.
