Rifiuto: Non Miriena
Glinda watched and waited. The looks on her friends' faces turned from one of surprise to shock to disgust in a matter of minutes. Elphaba turned greener, and Fiyero dropped the cup he was holding, before grabbing ahold of the counter. After several moments, Elphaba coughed, and covered her mouth; she looked downright sick.
"What... was in that?" Fiyero choked out. Glinda shrugged.
"Just a some raspberries and mint, that's all."
"That didn't taste like mint." Fiyero replied, leaning against the counter to get his barrings, his head down to stop the spinning. Elphaba nodded in agreement, and then grabbed the arm of a passing waitress.
"Where's the bathroom?" The girl pointed to the back, and the green girl dashed off towards it. Everyone heard her vomiting not five minutes later. Fiyero bit his lip and blanched.
"I think it made Elphie sick." Glinda shook her head.
"Nah, she's fine." The bathroom door opened, and she turned to see Elphaba come out. Sighing, the girl smiled at her friends, and then grabbed her bag.
"Well, I'd better get going, I have-"
"-Class. So do I." Fiyero interjected, his eyes landing on the green girl. Elphaba nodded, as he grabbed his own bag and slung it over his shoulder. "Come on, I'll walk you." He took Elphaba's elbow, and led her to the door. "See you later, Glinda." Elphaba nodded, allowing him to walk her.
"Yeah, see you, Glinda. And thanks." Elphaba called, as the door closed behind them.
Quickly, the blonde hurried from behind the counter to the door. She slipped outside, and watched her friends hurry back to the campus, Fiyero's hand on Elphaba's elbow. The two were walking close together, talking softly, it looked like.
From the way things had looked in the cafe moments earlier, it seemed that the potion was taking effect fast. Especially considering the way Fiyero had at Elphaba after she'd come out of the bathroom. It'd been pure longing and desire that had shone in his eyes when he turned to her. And the way he'd quickly offered to walk her to class, taken her elbow, and led her out of the cafe was evidence that the potion was taking effect- at least on Fiyero.
As for Elphaba, well, for one, she was willing to let Fiyero walk her to class, which, if this had been a normal day, would have required protective body gear. But Elphaba was obviously under the effects of the potion as well, because she hadn't taken her eyes off Fiyero once since stepping out of the bathroom. She'd ignored Glinda completely, focusing only on Fiyero, which was fine with the blonde.
If the potion was working, the potion was working, which was what Glinda wanted.
Going back inside, Glinda picked up the two cups and tossed them in the trash.
"So, they drank it?" Glinda turned, to see Katila- one of her coworkers- leaning against the doorway to the kitchen. The blonde nodded, retying her apron.
"Yeah, they drank it."
"Do you think it'll work?" Glinda looked back at the door, and smiled, before turning back to her friend.
"Yeah, it works."
"How long is it supposed to last?"
The blonde shrugged.
"I don't know. We'll find out though, won't we?" Katila rolled her eyes and went behind the counter, Glinda following.
"Don't you know that love potions are dangerous?" The blonde chuckled softly.
"I know."
"So why put your friends through that if it's dangerous?"
"I don't think it's a dangerous love potion. I think it's just right for Elphie and Fiyero. They belong together. Haven't you noticed?"
"Yeah, I noticed. And I also noticed that they both refused to admit that they like each other."
"Which is why the love potion was necessary. Because we both know that they'd never admit that they like each other."
Once Glinda's shift was over, she returned to campus, and slipped into the cafeteria, searching for her friends. Her eyes landed on Fiyero and Elphaba, sitting at a table in the back corner, talking softly as they shared a sandwich. She hurried towards them, stopping next to their table.
"Hey Elphie, hey Fiyero." The two looked up, seeing Glinda at their table.
"Oh hi, Glinda!" Elphaba smiled at her, and Glinda quickly smiled back.
"So, how are things going?"
"Great." Fiyero said, as Glinda took a seat across from them.
"So they're going good?" Elphaba nodded quickly, giggling, a smile on her face.
"Really good." She said, taking Fiyero's hand. Glinda raised her eyebrows, a little unnerved by the way Elphaba was acting. However, Elphaba and Fiyero didn't take their eyes off each other, and Glinda got nervous.
"Are you-" Elphaba snuggled into Fiyero's side, and he kissed her temple. The whole scene was enough to make Glinda sick, and she had to swallow to keep the sandwich she'd eaten earlier down. It wasn't easy. "O- kay. Never mind." She glanced around, before turning back to her friends. "Well, it's good that you're both so... happy together." After a moment, she got up.
"Wait! Where are you going?" Elphaba asked. Glinda turned back to her friend.
"I'll give you some alone time. I'll see you later, Elphie. Bye Fiyero." He nodded, and turned back to the green girl. As Glinda made her way out of the cafeteria, Milla, one of her old posse, stopped her.
"Glinda! Hey. Did you notice-" The blonde nodded. "I can't believe he actually asked her out. I never thought I'd see them together. They always denied it-"
"I know." Glinda said.
"But what-"
"Maybe Fiyero finally got up the courage to ask her?" Glinda said, heading to the door. Yeah right! Courage my ass.
