They spent the next several hours decorating the house with decorations that Fiyero had. Once the tree was up, and the lights added, they decorated it, as Lurlinemas music wafted from the radio Elphaba had turned on.

"What do you think?" She asked, once she'd finished hanging a couple more ornaments. He leaned down and captured her lips in a kiss.

"Perfect."

"You didn't even look at it!" She cried.

"I didn't?"

"No." So he glanced at the tree, before wrapping his arms around her and pulling her close.

"It's beautiful." She smiled at him, before capturing his lips and deepening the kiss. When he finally pulled away, he whispered, "I'll go fix us something to eat." With one lingering kiss, she let him go, before deciding to follow. Once in the kitchen, she hopped onto the counter, and accepted the half of sandwich he held out to her.

"So," She covered her mouth and swallowed before continuing. "what are we going to do? Go caroling, wrap presents... what?" He thought a moment, taking a sip of tea.

"Well, I think carolling's out." He said, glancing at the window, where the snow was still falling. "And... I didn't go Lurlinemas shopping, so-"

"Good, then I wasn't the only one that didn't shop." He chuckled. "I mean, I sent some back home, but-"

"So did I, but I didn't get any-"

They finished eating in silence, as It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Lurlinemas changed to Silver Bells. Fiyero set his cup down, before holding out a hand to Elphaba.

"Care to dance?"

She couldn't hide her smile, and hopped off the counter, and taking his hand. He pulled her into the circle of his arms, and they began a waltz, to the slow, sweet carol. She never took her eyes off him, silently noting the subtle changes she'd avoided noticing the last time she'd seen him, eleven years ago. His eyes sparked light blue when he was excited, and held little flecks of gold that shined whenever he watched her. After a while, she laid her head on his shoulder, and he held her close. When the song ended, they stopped dancing, but continued to hold each other.

When they pulled away, Fiyero went to the door to check on the snow, and Elphaba settled on the sofa.

"Well, is it stopping?"

"Nope. And it doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon." He replied, as she got up and went to him.

"Maybe it'll stop by morning." She whispered, wrapping her arms around his waist. He met her eyes.

"Maybe."

Slowly, her eyes traveled up, to the mistletoe hanging in the doorway. She met his eyes, before he captured her lips in a kiss. He closed the door, and scooped her into his arms, carrying her to the sofa.

"No. The bedroom." She whispered against his lips.

"You sure?" He asked, pulling away. She nodded, pulling him towards the bedroom. Leaving the door open, they moved to the bed, undressing each other as they went, and when they finally reached the bed, she shoved him onto it, before climbing up after him. As she let him kiss her skin, her mind thought back on what had started this whole process.

The teaching position? No.

The coffee? No, couldn't be. She still didn't know who was leaving it.

The dress? No, that was also her admirer.

Then, it hit her.

The mistletoe.

It was the mistletoe.

It had to be the mistletoe.

Damn that weed.

As they continued to kiss, her mind thought back to her admirer. Suddenly, she sat up, and pushed him away. She had to tell him about her secret admirer.

"Yero?"

"Hmm?" He asked, placing kisses on her neck.

"Yero." He pulled away. "I have to tell you something."

"What is it, Fae?" He asked, kissing her cheek.

She took a deep breath.

"I..." She bit her lip. He waited.

"You what?"

"I... I have a secret admirer."

"I know."

"Okay, that's goo- wait a minute. You know?"

He nodded.

"How do you-"

"The coffee?"

She shook her head, and he sighed.

"You told me about him when you asked me to see if the coffee was poisoned, remember?"

It took her a few minutes, but eventually, she did think back on that afternoon.

"Oh. Right. Of course. I remember now. So... you're not angry?"

He shook his head, and pulled her close.

"No. Why should I be?"

"Well, some random guy is my secret admirer. Wouldn't that bother you?"

He shrugged.

"No. And he's not some random guy. He's a teacher at Shiz High, but he's just too scared to admit it."

"Or he's a student."

He chuckled.

"Maybe."

"But then that would-"

"Elphaba," He grabbed her chin gently.

"What?"

"Just shut up and kiss me."
