A/N: I know, I know, I write a lot about Boq. I do have a ton of Glinda drabbles…but I really need to work on them. Just a question for the peoples who read the book, when you think of the characters that were not in the musical. Shenshen, Pfannee, Tibbet, Crope, and Avaric? If there were a part in the book that described them more, please inform me! Thnks for all the reviews. You guys make me smile.
My Promise: All of these drabbles, one shot, and tib bits are straight from my mind. I swear I did not steal any from any one. If they sound alike, we have similar brains.
Milla had always thought that Boq didn't care what he looked like. Years into their marriage, she was still trying to look perfect for him. Shenshen, Pfannee, and her still went on in their letters about new ways to keep looking beautiful. Every night she would place a mixture of honey, lemon juice, and yogurt on her face to keep wrinkles away. Putting odd berries juices into her hair to keep it bright and shining. Meanwhile, Boq would care more as how to bring in the crops and how to teach their youngest how to walk. At least, that what she thought.
One night, after she had put the children to sleep, she found her husband looking at himself in her long mirror. He kept sucking in his gut, messing with his hair, and pulling back the skin around his eyes. A small smile crept across her face as she watched the spectacle.
"What are you trying to accomplish?" Milla laughed.
"Nothing, really." Boq still looked into the mirror. "Just…Do I look better with my glasses on or off?"
"The question is which can you see better with?" Milla said as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "No matter which way, I'll still love you."
"You only love me because I give you children." Boq joked.
"And a fine job you're doing with that." They both laughed.
She kissed him, grabbed his hand, and pulled him to the bed.
