Incommunicable Emotions

"No Regrets"
She could only hope that her wishes wouldn't be short-lived.
After a few hours of holding each other, hidden from the world, Elphaba and Glinda agreed it was time to put their plan into motion. Thankfully it was still dark outside, so no bystanders happened to notice the cloaked but obviously emerald woman drop off the teary-eyed Gillikin at the train station.
Glinda
Glinda sat in her private compartment, feeling nervous and apprehensive. She knew she had a long couple of days ahead of her, reciting the words Elphie had rehearsed with her at length. She only wished Elphie could be with her, for those times were the only times she felt truly whole, and able to think and function properly.
"I'll be there in a week or less, I promise." Elphaba said, planting kisses down Glinda's collarbone. "Once again, just hold out. For me."
Oh well, perhaps it wasn't as hard as she was convincing herself. Send out a public notice about Chuffrey's 'mysterious' murder, and only personally speak to those that were bold enough to call on her at her estate.
She would just hold out for her Elphie, and remember each caress and kiss.
Elphaba
Sitting on the bed she and Glinda had so lovingly shared just hours before, Elphaba raised a shaking hand to her eyes and let out a ragged sigh. How so many things had managed to go wrong...
It seemed like some sort of Unnamed forces were always doing their best to keep her and Glinda apart. No matter, she would willingly battle any of those forces just to be with her.
A feeling which irked her to this very moment, that someone should have so much power of her. She had never needed anyone before, and now suddenly her entire life revolved around the beautiful blonde that had danced her way into Elphaba's life.
"Storms are simply dreadful, aren't they, Miss Elphaba?" It was the first remark Galinda had ever made to her, and she glanced up from her book, surprised.
Elphaba prepared a scathing response, then saw the state of the girl. Wide eyed and whimpering occasionally, only the Gillikin's eyes and a tuft of beautiful gold hair protruded from the gap in the sheets. The seemingly strong and untouchable Galinda, frightened of a little thunder and lightning.
"M-Miss Elphie? Do you mind...?" While Elphaba succumbed to her thoughts, Galinda and crept to her side, gorgeous blue eyes clouded with fear.
Sighing, Elphaba threw back the sheets of her bed, patting the now empty area next to her. Galinda smiled gratefully, and crawled in next to her.
Elphaba had never previously shared a bed, so Galinda's body pressed against hers, face snuggling against her neck, brought a strange feeling to the pit of her stomach. She lowered her head, smelling her hair. It was almost more than she could stand.
But stand it she would, for the girl if not for herself. She would stand it, even when, after a loud crash of thunder, Galinda wrapped her legs around Elphaba's waist and pushed her body further into hers. Ignoring the now hammering feeling in her body, she closed her eyes and tried to drift to sleep.
Elphaba finally stood up, seeing the darkness outside was as thick as it would ever be. She pulled her cloak back on, mounted her broom, and flew out the open window, hoping the rush of cool wind on her face would stop the thoughts racing through her head.
It didn't.
