My buddy "Denpa Wave Chick Saki" co-wrote this with me. Enjoy!
Elphaba emerged from the bathroom, a towel wrapped around herself and her white shadow at her heels. "All right...I'm done, Glin."
The blonde giggled. "It looks like someone sure likes you, Elphie." She watched the cat following close behind her girlfriend. Galinda closed her sketchbook and put it away.
Elphaba sat on her bed, Malky hopping up beside her. "I suppose...even though she's the reason I fell out of that tree."
"I guess she's just very thankful to you for saving her."
"Perhaps." Elphaba began brushing her hair out, Malky batting at the ends of the raven strands.
The blonde giggled before heading into the bathroom. "I'm just going to take a quick bath."
"All right." Elphaba stood and made her way into her closet, while Malky hopped off the bed and headed back into the bathroom, mewing softly.
Galinda had just stripped out of her dress. When she turned around to reach for the tub faucet, she noticed Malky coming through the door and starting to bat at the tie to her robe hanging by the door. Galinda smiled, kneeling down and holding her hand out to the cat. "Well, aren't you just adorable?"
As soon as Malky saw the blonde reaching out, she crouched down and hissed at her, ears flat and hair standing up. Galinda's eyes widened at the sudden change and she jumped back. The cat started to advance on her, hissing and growling still. Galinda kept backing away, the back of her legs soon hitting the edge of the tub. The blonde fell back, hitting her head on the other side of the tub, but she ignored the pain, just trying to stay away from the cat. "E-Elphie!"
The green woman's head snapped up at the sound of her name. She ran into the bathroom, saying, "What's wrong? Are you all right?" When she saw Malky hissing and the blonde in the tub, she knew. "Malky no!" She picked the cat up and set her outside the bathroom, returning to pull the blonde into her arms, sitting on the tub's edge. "Are you all right?"
Galinda sat up, rubbing the back of her head with a small wince. "Owwie...I hit my head when I fell." She looked up at Elphaba with a small smile. "Elphie, I don't think your cat likes me..."
Elphaba didn't smile back. "I'm so sorry. I didn't think she would..." She kissed the back of Galinda's head gently. "Are you sure you're all right?"
"I'm fine, Elphie. I might have a bump and a headache later, but I'm fine." Galinda smiled, stroking the side of the green woman's face. "Don't worry so much. You'll get wrinkles." She giggled.
"I can't help but worry..." Elphaba pulled her close. "It comes with loving you."
The blonde gaped. "Are you saying that all I do is worry you?"
"N-no! I just meant that I love you so much, that I...I can't help but worry. If you ever hurt...I hurt too."
Galinda smiled leaning forward to give her a kiss. "I know what you mean, Elphie. I feel the same." She rested her forehead against Elphaba's.
The green woman smiled slightly. "Good...I'm glad. I...I'll leave now so you can bathe."
"Can you...stay, please?" She blushed.
Elphaba blushed as well. "Uhhh...s-sure...if you so wish." She reached over to turn on the faucet for the blonde.
Galinda quickly stripped off her underwear before it got wet and threw them over with her dress. She curled her legs up to her chest. "Thanks...it's nice having someone in here. It doesn't feel so lonely..." She smiled.
Elphaba nodded. "I apologize for not being able to join you." Her face darkened at that.
"I-it's fine. I understand." The blonde took Elphaba's hand in her own. "But I still enjoy having you near me."
Before she could stop herself, Elphaba let out a hiss and pulled her burning hand away. "I...I'm sorry...your hand was wet."
Galinda gasped, looking down and retracting her own hand. "I'm so sorry. I didn't think..."
Elphaba dried her hand off, before she used the towel to dry Galinda's hand. Once it was safe, she took the blonde's hand. "It was an accident...I'm all right. I forbid you from feeling bad."
"I'm still sorry." After stretching out and using her foot to turn off the faucet with a giggle, Galinda curled up against the side of the tub, resting her head against the green woman's shoulder.
Elphaba kissed the top of her head. "If that helps you feel better, than I accept your apology."
"Thanks, Elphie." She smiled. "I really like being close to you...It's nice."
Her face turned dark green. "I...I like being close to you as well...in all the meanings of the word."
After finishing her bath, Galinda pulled on a clean dress and sat on her bed with her sketchbook. Elphaba moved to sit beside her, the Grimmerie in her lap. She shooed Malky away when the feline approached. "You don't have to keep shooing her away, you know?"
"I am punishing her for attacking you like that. Unless you liked smacking your head on the tub..."
"Well, of course I didn't. But that doesn't mean you should just keep her away completely."
"Well, only for the afternoon. It's not forever." Elphaba looked down at her book, pushing her glasses back up her nose. Malky rubbed her head against Elphaba's leg, but the green woman continued to ignore her. Galinda watched for a few moments before opening her sketchbook and starting a new piece. The two sat in silence, but the memory of that night in the bathroom still tugged at the green woman. She tried to ignore it, but after glancing at Galinda, she finally gave up. "Galinda, you...you know I love you right? And I...I trust you...more than anyone."
The blonde gave her a smile. "Of course I do, Elphie. Why in Oz would you think I didn't?"
"W-well after our first date...in the bathroom...I know I kind of...freaked out, but you have to understand...it wasn't because you did something wrong. I...I just wasn't expecting it and...well, I...you and I...um..."
"And you're not ready. Don't worry, Elphie. I understand." She gave her a soft kiss on the cheek. "And I'm not going to pressure you into doing anything you don't want to."
"B-but I...I just...I want...if we go slow..." The green woman suddenly stopped. "I'm late for Dr. Dillamond's research!" She leapt up, grabbing her bag and bolting for the door. "I'll be back later Glin!"
Galinda was left sitting on the bed, staring at the door, as she tried to figure out what had just happened. Malky hopped up onto the dresser, curling up and watching the blonde. Galinda went back to her sketching, eyeing the cat warily every once in a while. The feline eventually fell asleep, as the hours passed and the sun began to set over Shiz.
The blonde spent a large portion of the afternoon sketching on her bed and remembering how nice it had been to have so much of Elphaba's skin touching her own that night. As it got later, however, Galinda got lonelier, wondering when the green woman would return. When she ran out of things to do, she got ready for bed. After getting into her bed, the blonde tossed and turned under the covers, unable to fall asleep without her girlfriend beside her. She finally ended up moving over to Elphaba's bed, snuggling up under the covers and smiling as the green woman's scent surrounded her. Galinda fell asleep almost immediately.
It was late when Elphaba finally did return, later than she had intended. To make up for it, she had decided to bring back a bouquet for the blonde. Upon entering their room, she found all the lights off, which told her that Galinda was most likely in bed. She gently opened the bedroom door, saying, "Glin? You awake?" She was a little confused when she saw the heiress in her bed, but she smiled slightly, setting the flowers on the night stand and sitting beside the blonde to begin taking her boots off.
A soft whimper escaped Galinda's throat. "Nnnn, Elphie..."
The green woman turned at the sound of her name. "I'm sorry. Did I wake you?"
Galinda's whimper had grown into a quiet moan, "Elphie...please..." She uncurled herself in her sleep, one of her hands unknowingly sliding down her stomach to touch herself with a shuttering breath.
Elphaba froze when she saw that, not sure if she should say anything. The blonde didn't appear to be awake...and the green woman knew she should look away...but found herself unable to.
The feeling of pleasure soon woke the blonde up, but she didn't stop, her eyes still closed tightly imagining it was the green woman. Galinda pulled her hand away another minute or so later with a soft groan, realizing that she had gotten as far as she could by herself.
At this point, Elphaba's face was the darkest green it had ever been, and when she saw the blonde pull away, she quickly stood, but she tripped over her boots, falling to the floor.
Galinda jumped at the sound. She cautiously looked over the side of the bed, seeing the green figure on the floor. "E-elphie? W-what are you doing down there?" She blushed furiously. She didn't see that, did she? Oz, I hope not.
"I...I...I fell." Elphaba stood up, rubbing the back of her head. "Um..." She grabbed the flowers and held them out to the blonde. "These...are for you."
"Th-thanks..." The blonde couldn't meet her eyes, taking the flowers in her hand. "I...you're...you're back late..." She held the covers close over her, as if to hide herself, even though she was in her nightdress.
"It's...later than I had intended...I apologize." Elphaba moved over to the closet, beginning to change into her nightdress. Almost inaudibly, she said, "You don't have to do that you know."
The blonde's blush grew. "D-do what?" She set the flowers on the bedside table.
Elphaba emerged and moved to sit beside the blonde, looking down. "You know...touch yourself...that way..."
"Y-you saw..." She brought her knees up to her chest. "I didn't mean to...I was having a dream about...about us doing it...and then I just...I didn't want the feeling to stop. I don't want to pressure you into...doing it, Elphie..."
"I...I know..." She took the blonde's hand. "Galinda...before I left...I said that if we took it slow...maybe we could...nnn...I...I love you...and I want to make you happy...and I do want to try...with you..."
"Are...are you sure?"
"I...yes..." Elphaba leaned in to kiss her gently. "Just...forgive me...if I do something...wrong."
Galinda nodded. "I understand, Elphie..." She deepened the kiss with a soft moan. Elphaba pushed her back onto the bed gently, moving over her in way that kept all her weight off the blonde. The green woman leaned down to kiss her again. Galinda's hand buried itself in Elphaba's hair, holding her close, as her other hand held onto her waist.
Hesitantly, Elphaba reached down to undo the ties on Galinda's nightdress, slowly pushing it down her shoulders. "Is this...all right?"
"Yes..." the blonde breathed. Elphaba gently pulled the nightdress from Galinda's body, pushing it onto the floor. She held the blonde close with one arm, the other running over her bare skin as she kissed her again. Galinda shivered with a small smile. Her hand moved to the front of Elphaba's nightdress, pausing. She pulled away from the kiss. "Can I?" Elphaba nodded slowly, distracting herself by kissing the blonde again. As she started undoing the dress and sliding it off of her, Galinda smiled. "Elphie, you're beautiful." Her hands ran down her back.
At the feeling, Elphaba's back arched, pushing herself closer to the blonde. "I...thank you...so are you...my sweet."
Galinda breath hitched. "Elphie..." Her hands itched strip off the green woman's underwear, but she refrained.
Sensing what Galinda wanted, Elphaba pulled back a little. "Are...are you sure this is what you want? I have nothing to offer you but my green self..."
"I don't mind...I like your green, and I love you."
Elphaba smiled slightly. "A-all right..." Slowly she reached down to remove her own underwear, dropping it off the bed and leaving herself fully exposed to the blonde for the first time. Her gaze was down, as she found it impossible to look at the heiress, afraid of her reaction.
The blonde felt flutters in her stomach at seeing Elphaba's body revealed. She wrapped her arms around the green woman's neck, bringing her down for a deep kiss. "You're more beautiful than I could ever imagine..."
The green woman was somewhat surprised, but she held Galinda close, reaching down shakily, brushing against the hem of her underwear. "Can..."
Galinda nodded, her breath shaky. "Y-yes..."
Elphaba slowly stripped the blonde of her underwear, letting it fall to the side. She ran her hands over the bare skin, inhaling softly. She leaned down to kiss her again, trembling slightly. "I...I shouldn't be doing this...to you..."
"I love you..." The blonde looked up into her eyes. "Please...I need you..."
The green woman nodded slowly, running her hands over the blonde's breasts as she leaned down to kiss her neck. She left a trail of kisses up Galinda's neck, reaching her lips and kissing her deeply as one hand slid down the blonde's stomach, stopping between her legs. "Are...are you sure...this is really what you want? Do you...love me...trust me this much?" she asked again.
Galinda's breath hitched, and she nodded. "Please..."
Elphaba took a deep breath, before she very slowly pushed one finger inside the blonde. "Like...this?"
Galinda gasped, "Y-yes...," her back arching and pushing her chest against the green woman's body. She buried a hand deep into the brunette's hair.
Elphaba slowly slid her finger in and out of the blonde, soon adding a second finger. She held Galinda close, kissing anywhere she could reach. "Are you...all right?"
She moaned, nodding her head. "I'm better...than 'alright'..."
A sudden memory of Sarima started to surface, but Elphaba forced it away. No. Sarima is not here. This is Galinda, the woman I love. Elphaba pulled away slightly to ask, "Do...do you want me to...add another?"
"Y-yes..." Galinda writhed against her. The green woman added a third finger, kissing Galinda again, as she began to move her fingers inside her quicker. The blonde clutched her closer. "Oh, Oz...Elphie..." Elphaba's head came to rest on the blonde's shoulder, as her fingers continued to move inside Galinda, burning beads of sweat forming on her body. The blonde kept writhing and moaning against her. A few minutes later, Galinda's hand wandered down to gently stop the green woman's hand, breathing hard. "Thank you, Elphie. That was...amazing."
"I...did I...hurt you?" Elphaba asked, wondering why Galinda had stopped her. This...this was not how it had ended with Sarima...
"No-no, of course not. I was just...done..." She blushed, giving her a gentle kiss. "Thank you..."
Elphaba withdrew, leaving to wipe her hand off before she returned, moving over the blonde again. "Was...was I...acceptable?"
"You...you were wonderful, Elphie," she chuckled breathlessly. Galinda stroked the side of the green woman's face, looking into her eyes with a smile. "I love you."
Elphaba placed a hand over the blonde's. "I love you too..." She leaned down to kiss her again.
Galinda deepened the kiss a little, gently rolling them over so that she was a little on top of Elphaba. "Elphie, do you...want me to...you know...?" She blushed.
Elphaba blushed at having Galinda on top of her, and she looked away. "I...I don't want you to...have to do anything...you don't want..."
The blonde sat up, looking down at her with a reassuring smile. "But I want to, Elphie. I love you so much, and...if you're comfortable with it, I'd like to return the favor."
"I...I love you too...a-and I trust you...just...please...go slow..."
"I will." Galinda slowly pushed her back onto the bed, leaning down to kiss her. Elphaba held her close, deepening their kiss, as she trembled against the blonde. The heiress's hand moved down to massage Elphaba's breast, but she paused, looking down at her. "Elphie...you're trembling...are you sure?"
"Y-yes...just nervous...I'm sorry..."
"Okay..." Galinda leaned down to suck on the green woman's breast, as her hand wandered down between her legs. Elphaba gasped at the slight burning in her breast, and her body tensed when she felt Galinda's hand move lower. The blonde gently slipped a finger, pausing with wide eyes when she met a resistance not too far in. She's still... "Elphie...are you sure? This will...hurt a little..."
The green woman closed her eyes, teeth clenched tightly at the feeling. "P-please..." she managed to gasp out.
The blonde bit her lip before breaking through the barrier as gently as she could, holding the green woman close. "I'm sorry, Elphie..." Elphaba let out a slightly painful grunt at the feeling, clutching at Galinda and close to hyperventilating. "Are you okay?" She paused.
"Y-yes...I'm fine..." She held Galinda close, her eyes still closed. Galinda slowly started to slide her finger in and out of her, kissing her in an attempt to distract from the pain. The green woman kissed her back fiercely, as her back arched at the feeling of Galinda moving inside her. Slowly, the pain started to give way to pleasure, and Elphaba was surprised to hear herself moan for the first time. Galinda slipped another finger inside of her, sliding a little faster.
Elphaba let out another gasp, holding Galinda tightly and running a hand through her hair as her pleasure built. The blonde started moving her fingers a little inside of her, giving her a little kiss. "Are you alright, Elphie?"
"F-fine..." Elphaba breathed. Galinda kissed her deeply, continuing her thrusts. After a certain point, her pleasure stopped building, and Elphaba reached down to grasp the blonde's wrist, stopping her.
The blonde froze, looking down at her. "I'm sorry. Did I hurt you, Elphie?"
"N-no...that was...much nicer...than I imagined."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes...thank you..." Elphaba gave her a weak smile and kissed her gently.
"I love you."
"I love you too..."
Galinda gave her a smile, stroking her cheek gently. "So much..." She gently pulled out of the green woman, making the mistake of looking at her fingers covered in Elphaba's blood. The blonde fell to the side of the green woman in a dead faint.
"Galinda!" Elphaba sat up, almost crying out at the pain between her legs. She ignored it, as she picked the blonde up gently, carrying her into the bathroom and quickly cleaning the blood off her fingers.
The blonde woke up a few minutes later. When she remembered what had happened, she shot up, a hand to her head. "Oh, Oz! Elphie, I'm so sorry!"
"It's all right...you gave me a scare for a moment there, my sweet." Elphaba carried her back into the bedroom, setting her down on the bed.
"I'm fine. You know how I am with blood. Are you alright, though? You're the one who...well..."
"I...it hurts a little...but we...oh Oz...Galinda we just...we just had..." Elphaba sat down, pulling her knees up to her chest, as the realization began to fully sink in.
"Please don't freak out on me." The blonde frowned a little, wrapping her arms around the green woman. "I love you so much, and I'm so happy this happened. D-do you regret that we did it...?"
"N-no...of course not...I just...how could you bring yourself...to touch someone like me...the way you did? How could you love me enough...to let me...do that to you?"
"Because I love you, Elphie." Galinda moved slightly away, when tears started to slide down her face, not wanting to burn the green woman. "I love every last beautiful inch of you...inside and out."
Elphaba pulled her close, not caring if she was burnt. "Please don't cry. I love you too...I just never imagined...that we would...together..."
The blonde chuckled, giving a sniff. "And did you think I thought that all these years?"
"W-well...of course neither of us expected...I just...feel so lucky...that out of everyone in Oz...all the people who are above me...you chose your green servant..."
"I love you, Elphie..." Galinda gently cupped the side of her face, stroking her cheek with her thumb and looking deep into her eyes.
Elphaba smiled slightly. "I love you too..." She pulled the blonde into a hug before falling back onto the bed. "I don't know about you, but I feel rather tired..."
Galinda blushed. "Don't you want to...um...clean up...first?"
"Wh-" Elphaba paused, sitting up and releasing the blonde. "Oh...I'm sorry..." She got up and headed into the bathroom, picking up her bottle of oil and beginning to wash herself off.
Galinda would have followed, but she didn't want to worry her by fainting again. "Are you okay, Elphie?"
"I'm fine..." Elphaba emerged, moving back to the bed. "Am I clean enough to sleep with you now?"
The blonde patted the bed next to her. "I would love it if you joined me."
Elphaba lay down beside her, taking her into her arms again. "Fresh dreams my sweet."
Galinda snuggled closer to her with a smile. "I love you, Elphie."
"I love you too...with everything that I am..."
"Nighty nighty, Elphie." The blonde drifted off to sleep quickly in her love's arms.
Elphaba did not wake early the next morning as was usual for her. Instead, she rolled over, muttering incoherent words in her sleep. Glinda woke up when the green woman moved. She smiled, gently stroking a strand of raven hair from Elphaba's face. The green woman twitched at the feeling, raising a hand up to brush at her face, before she opened her eyes. "Hey..." she said, her voice laced with sleep.
"Good morning, sleeping beauty." The blonde leaned forward to gently kiss Elphaba's forehead.
"I think that title belongs to you," Elphaba said, yawning. She closed her eyes again with a sigh. "Was last night a dream?"
"I dearly hope it wasn't...unless we both had the same dream. Though I doubt it was." She stroked through Elphaba's raven hair. "It was far too wonderful to not be real…"
Elphaba's dark eyes opened again. "You...you really enjoyed yourself that much? I wasn't...bad?"
Galinda gave her a smile. "Last night was the most wonderful night of my life."
"I...it was wonderful for me...too..."
The blonde actually started to tear up. "I love you..."
The tears took Elphaba aback. "I love you too...why are you crying? Please don't..."
"I just...you have no idea how...happy I am right now..."
Elphaba smiled slightly, pulling Galinda close and resting their foreheads together. "I think I do...because I'm feeling it too..."
"So what should we do today?" The blonde sniffed with a small smile, wiping at her tears. "After such a wonderful night, I'm not sure anything will be able to measure up."
Elphaba pulled her close with a sigh, kissing the top of her head. "Would you be content...just staying like this?"
Galinda buried her face in the green woman's neck. "I would love to stay like this."
Elphaba smiled at the feeling. "Then here is where we will stay."
The blonde gave a small shiver. She pulled the covers higher over them and snuggled closer to Elphaba. "Why are you so warm?"
Elphaba chuckled softly, stroking the blonde's hair. "It's my green; it retains heat better."
"Well then since I can't be green...you'll just have to always stay with me to keep me warm."
"Well, I suppose I can live with that...there are worse things..."
The blonde rubbed her face against Elphaba's neck with a content sigh. "You're so soft Elphie."
"I could say the same about you, my sweet." Elphaba's hands ran up and down the smooth skin of Galinda's back. A sigh soon escaped the green woman though, as the thoughts that had weighted heavily on her mind finally spilled out as she said, "Galinda...I know...we wanted this to remain a secret, but...now we're in pretty deep, and I...I'm not strong enough to lose you...so are you going to be willing...to stay with me...even if it means people finding out?"
Galinda looked up at her. "Elphie, of course I will. Do...do you really doubt me that much?"
"N-no. I just...this isn't...socially acceptable. I know you love me for me, but other people won't see it like that. If you weren't...well, the heiress of Oz...things would maybe be different...but as you are..."
"I love you." She cupped the green woman's face. "I love you more than anything. I know that we haven't exactly been together for the longest time...but already I feel like I would die without you. I need you more than air. Of course I will plan on taking the throne for now, but if the time comes and the people will not accept me with you by my side, then I will leave. I can't live without you, Elphie, please understand that."
"I..." Tears welled up in her eyes, and Elphaba quickly turned away, swiping at them so Galinda wouldn't see. "I can't live without you either...but Oz needs you. You can't abdicate your throne for me, if it comes to that...because just the fact that you would...means so much to me..."
Galinda turned her back to face her, wiping away the green woman's tears. "I love you...and Oz would be better off with Nessa ruling than with a brokenhearted Galinda." She gave her a reassuring smile.
Looking into the blonde's eyes caused Elphaba to fully lose her composure for the first time, and she began to sob. "H-h-how could you pick me? It doesn't make sense! I-I-I don't have anything to offer you a-and I came off the streets! Y-you deserve the best, yet somehow, you picked me. A woman with skin green as sin...and now you would give up e-e-everything for me. I can't...I can't..." Elphaba tried to catch her breath, which resulted in near hyperventilation.
Galinda held her close, stroking her raven hair soothingly. "Elphie, you are the best...the best for me."
"B-but I-I-I-I...I don't deserve you..." Elphaba clung to the blonde, her face buried in Galinda's shoulder.
"I think you deserve everything in Oz. You're more wonderful than you give yourself credit for. You're beautiful inside and out. You're the kindest person I have ever known. You're smart and wonderful, and anybody should be happy to have you...and I just thank Lurline every day that, after everything from our past, you still chose me."
Elphaba let out a sniffle, still clinging to the blonde. "I...I held on...because I never forgot that little girl...who first reached out to me...and every day I endured because...I clung to the hope...that she would come back...and then you did...I love you Galinda...and I can't lose you."
"You won't lose me, Elphie...you'll never lose me again."
The green woman sat back, wiping her face. "I...thank you..."
"No. Thank you, Elphie."
Elphaba just nodded, before she leaned against the blonde again. After a pause, she said, "You never saw me break down...we will never speak of that again."
Galinda chuckled. "But what if I liked seeing you like that. You opened yourself up to me more than you ever have before..."
"But I was trained to never show weakness...and that's what just happened...how can you see me as a bodyguard if I am slave to my emotions?"
"Because all I see is the woman I love more than anything."
Elphaba sighed, running her hands down Galinda's back. "I...I'll always be right by your side...no matter what happens...or what people say..."
The blonde shivered a little at the touch, her back arching closer to Elphaba's body. "I look forward to always having you with me."
"As do I...but Miss Galinda...what will people say?"
"They will see us together and see how much we love each other." Galinda gave her a smile.
Elphaba smiled slightly. "If you don't mind...then I don't mind either."
The blonde's smile faded a little, and she looked down. "But...maybe we should...tone it down just a little around other people."
Elphaba sat up. "I...I thought you wanted me to...did you not? Did I embarrass you? I'm sorry..."
"N-no! You didn't do anything wrong, Elphie. I just...I will tell everyone eventually, but...I don't want Popsicle to find out because of people gossiping around here..."
Elphaba's eyes widened slightly. "I...I didn't even think...I'm so sorry!"
"It's fine, Elphie. Don't freak out so much about it. Let's just...act only has friends outside of our room from now on, okay?" She gave her a smile.
The green woman nodded. "A-all right...friends..." A pause and then, "But wait! Milla...she knows!" Her eyes darkened. "That can be changed..."
"No no absolutely no. You will not hurt her because of this. I'll talk to her and convince her to keep this to herself."
"Fine...but I'm going with you. Intimidation never hurts..."
"Fine...but promise me something, Elphie?"
"Anything..."
"Since we are only friends outside of this room from now on..." She grinned. "Whenever we are back here, I get naked cuddles every night and enough kisses and cuddles and affection to make up for what I'm not getting outside."
The green woman smiled slightly. "If that is what you wish...then it shall be done."
Galinda smiled, snuggling closer to her. "Thank you, Elphie..."
"Of course...I live to serve you my sweet...What will we tell your father when the time comes...?"
"We'll tell him that we love each other, and we will do whatever it takes to stay together."
"I hope that is all it takes, because I cannot imagine him allowing me to be with you..."
"Then I will give my place to Nessa, and we will leave. I refuse to let him control my life any longer, Elphie."
Elphaba held the blonde close. "I love you..."
"I love you too..."
