Review?
Hope you all are enjoying! Getting a few new ideas for future stories, which I'm really excited about.
Chapter Twenty
Elphaba woke to the sun creeping in through the curtains of her dorm room. She rubbed her eyes, trying to get a sense of her surroundings, and saw her roommate through the dark room.
"Good Afternoon, Elphie." Glinda said, "How do you feel?"
She yawned, "Good. How long was I out?"
Glinda laughed, "Around two days straight." She said, helping her friend out of bed and handing her a sandwich, which she graciously accepted.
"How's Fiyero?" she said as she began to eat the food.
"He's doing well. They're going to release him tomorrow."
She smiled as she rose, "That's good. Have you seen him recently?"
"About an hour ago. He's impatiently waiting for your return." Glinda said as her roommate headed out of the door.
"Glin?" she said before leaving.
"Yes, Elphie?"
She smiled at her friend, "Thank you, for everything."
"You're welcome, Elphaba." She said, almost getting teary, "Now go see your boyfriend."
Elphaba speedily walked to the hospital where she was greeted by Fiyero's parents. Leto and Kali hugged her and told her of Fiyero's improving condition and let her go and visit him.
Fiyero was staring outside of the window, sitting on the edge of his bed in his room when a certain green girl appeared, and he beamed at her, "Oz, Fae. You look stunning." The green girl blushed and gave him a sweet kiss, "You don't know how much I missed those." He said, kissing her back.
"How do you feel?" she asked, sitting down next to him on the bed.
"Much better. You must be feeling better too. I heard you slept like a rock."
She chuckled, "I heard you were being impatient."
"You aren't wrong, green girl." He sighed, looking at her, "I can't wait till I get out of here."
She sighed, "You and me both." She looked at his bandage on his stomach and winced, "Did you tell the police who did it?"
He nodded, "It was Avaric. Last I heard, they already caught him a few days after my incident, with drugs, and he's been in jail ever since."
"Fiyero, I think we should talk." She said, sighing.
He grew concerned, "Fae, what's wrong?"
"Before all of this happened, we had that fight and I was just-"
"Fae, please. It was my fault. I shouldn't have been intruding like that. It wasn't your fault."
She shook her head, "It was. I've been living in my father's shadow, cowering in fear for years. I don't want that anymore. You were right, this whole time! I want to live my own life, without my father's input. I deserve to be happy, and for the first time in my life, he is not the one to determine my happiness."
He cupped her cheek and brought her in for a deep kiss, which she happily returned. The two soon broke apart and rested their foreheads on one another. Elphaba sighed a content sigh and said, "So…Yero."
"So, Fae."
"When were you going to tell me you had tattoos?" She said, and the pair laughed, and Fiyero kissed her again.
"I got them when I turned eighteen. It's a tradition for Vinkun Royalty- everyone in the royal family has them. You get to choose a specific shape and color and they tattoo you."
"Why blue diamonds?" she said, looking at his defined chest.
"Diamonds symbolize strength and perseverance, along with balance and harmony." He laughed.
"What's so funny?"
"I, I actually wanted them to be green when I got them, but they were out of green dye, so I chose blue." He looked at her brown depths and smiled. He imagined the blue diamonds shining on Elphaba's skin, and it made him smile even more.
"What?" she said, looking confused.
"I just love you a lot, Fae."
"I love you too, Yero." She kissed him, and Fiyero couldn't imagine a more perfect moment.
