Everlasting chapter 4

"Mmhm… Yero, stop it!" Elphaba let a small giggle escape her, as her boyfriend of two months nuzzled her neck.

"And why, do tell, would I do that?" he asked innocently.

"Because, Darling, we're supposed to be studying."

It was true. And they had started out doing just that. But, Fiyero decided that the grapes she was rewarding him with whenever he got the answer right, weren't enough. He then decided that kisses were better, and he was easily distracted.

"Can't we take a break?" he pouted.

"Fine." Elphaba grumbled. "So, anything going on with you?"

"Actually, Fae," he began "I got a letter from my parents, and they're coming to visit this weekend." She nodded and began to say something but he continued, "And, as you know, they know about us, and everything, and, they really want to meet you…"

"Me?"

"Well, they said they wanted to meet Elphaba Thropp, and You're the only Elphaba Thropp I know…"

She shook her head, "I mean why do they want to meet me? Its not as if-"

"Fae!" he interrupted, "You're my girlfriend," she smiled at this, there was a time when she knew she would never be Fiyero's girlfriend and it had truly broken her fragile, guarded heart. "Of course they want to meet you! Plus, they already love you, because you've gotten my grades up." It was true, since he had started dating her and, to a lesser extent, the day with the lion cub, he really had been working much harder on his education, and was doing much better.

"I'm telling you, you've done the work." The green girl argued.

"Yes, I suppose that is true, but if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be doing that work."

"Good point." She conceded, and allowed herself to be kissed, again. "And I'm proud of you for how much you've improved."

"Thank you." He initiated another kiss, simply because he could. The green girl did not object, but there was a knock at the door. Elphaba began to pull away to answer it, but Fiyero mumbled a "leave it." Against her lips.

Another knock. Elphaba managed to wiggle herself out of his arms, not that she wanted to, and went to answer the door.

When she swung the door open, she was surprised to see Nessarose on the other side. She immediately ran a green hand through her slightly disheveled hair. "Hi, Nessie." She said nervously, knowing her sister wouldn't approve of Fiyero being in her dorm room.

"Good afternoon, Fabala." She then noticed Fiyero sitting on Elphaba's bed, hair mused, and shirt half-way unbuttoned. She raised her eyebrows, "What are you two doing?"

"Studying." The Winkie spoke up.

"Oh… what exactly?" Nessa asked and Fiyero held up the first book he found lying on the floor. Which just happened to be an Anatomy book. "Ah… I see." Nessarose sent a disapproving look towards her sister.

"Oh, relax, Nessa. We weren't doing anything indecent." Elphaba told the girl.

"Okay, then."

"Well," Elphaba began, "Come in." She opened the door wider to allow Nessarose to wheel herself in, "What brings you over here?" the green girl asked, sitting on the edge of her bed.

Nessa's face turned excited as she came closer, "Father's coming to visit!"

Elphaba was far less excited, given her and Frexapar's relationship, but decided to amuse her sister. "Really, Nessie? When?"

"This weekend!"
