Hello to all readers! I don't have a big ol' author's note this time. Nothing really to say. Weird. Wait, I do. 26 reviews! You guys have no idea how much that means to me :D Virtual hugs to all of you! So without further ado, here is chapter 4 :)


"Fiyero-"

Elphaba sighed as Fiyero turned away from her and crossed his arms, pointedly ignoring the green woman.

Elphaba sighed once more before proceeding to sit on a bucket, placing her head in her hands.

"I should've said no to Glinda..." She muttered.

"What?"

"Nothing," Elphaba quickly said. "Wait, are you talking to me now?"

"...No."

Elphaba's hands fell from her face as she sat straighter. "Fiyero, I'm really sorry. I was really out of line."

"Yeah, you were." He interrupted.

"But," Elphaba continued. "Could you please forgive me so we can get out of here?"

"That's why I should forgive you? So you can go?" Fiyero spat, turning to glare at her.

Wrong choice of words, Elphaba thought. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that. I just don't want you to be mad at me."

Again, Fiyero fell silent and Elphaba's shoulders slumped in defeat. It would take a while for Fiyero to cool off.

~XXX~

This plan was perfect! Fiyero thought. He would pretend to be mad at her, which would make her want to do anything for him to forgive her, resulting in the two going out!

I'm a genius. Fiyero thought, smiling triumphantly to the wall.

What he didn't expect to occur was for her to quit trying to get him to forgive her. That was not part of his plan.

Maybe she's thinking of another way for me to forgive her. Yeah, that's it.

But as the minutes ticked by, she remained silent; her head buried into her knees as she curled up on top of a bucket.

Finally Fiyero gave in and turned around, returning his arms to his sides.

"Is that how you expect me to forgive you? By staying quiet?"

Elphaba looked up in surprise at Fiyero. "How would you go about it?"

"Well," He began, running a hand through his disheveled hair. "First, I would apologize-"

"Done that," Elphaba pointed out.

"Repeatedly-"

"Yup."

"And if that didn't work, I would try and convince them of how sorry I was."

"How would you do that?" She asked, clearly amused at his approach to apologizing.

Fiyero paused, thinking of the ways he could answer, all of his options leading to either a really good ending, or a really really bad one.

He decided to take the risk and slowly walked towards her, answering with, "First, I would start with some sort of physical contact." He pulled Elphaba off of her seat and into his arms in one quick, fluid movement, appreciating the slight blush that graced her features. "Then I would look into their eyes." He paused to do so with the green goddess in his arms. Looking into her brown pools, he noticed how she looked at him - I mean, she really looked at him, not as the frat-boy he's been known to be. Just him. The way her eyes pierced into him, it was almost like she was truly looking at him for the first time.

"Yero," She whispered, bringing Fiyero out of his trance.

"Yeah," He said just as quietly, his breath fanning out on her face.

Her eyelids fell closed, against her will, and she drank in his scent as she shakily said, "You were talking."

"Oh. Yeah. Right." He cleared his throat to continue, but his voice stayed at the same level as hers. He moved his hand to put a stray piece of hair behind her ear, a warm feeling filling his stomach as she leaned into his touch. Keeping his hand there, he said, "Next, I would... just..."

Then he kissed her.

It was really just supposed to be a light touch of the lips, but it seems that she had other plans in mind. Just as he was about to pull away, she locked her arms around his neck, preventing him from escaping. Surprised by her boldness, but never one to disencourage such a beauty, he eagerly accepted her intoxicating kisses. His knees nearly turned to jello when he felt her tongue gliding over his lower lip.

~XXX~

Sweet Lurline, I'm kissing him! He's kissing me!

As she felt his tongue circling hers, Elphaba's knees nearly gave out from pleasure. Never, in her wildest imaginations, did she expect him to kiss her- much less with this much enthusiasm. Suddenly, a thought occurred to Elphaba and she tore her lips from his, albeit reluctantly.

"Glinda!" She managed to gasp.

Fiyero, for his part, looked a bit dazed and confused as to why she pulled away. "Not Glinda. Fiyero." With that, he leaned towards her once more.

"No," Elphaba placed her hands on his chest, halting his movements. "What about Glinda?"

Fiyero drew his head back to look her clearly in the eyes. "What about her?"

"Fiyero!" Elphaba stepped away from his arms. "She's my best friend and you're her boyfriend! We can't. We just can't…"

"Fae," The intimacy of the nickname and how it rolled of his tongue so easily gave her goose bumps. "We broke up a couple days ago."

Surprise coated her features. "You what?"

Fiyero nodded his head. "Yeah. Why else would Glinda lock her boyfriend in a closet with her incredibly beautiful-" Elphaba blushed. "-roommate?"

"She planned this?" Elphaba asked incredulously.

"Kind of. Are you okay?"

A small smile formed on her lips as she stepped closer and placed a soft kiss on his lips.

"Yes. Fantastic."

Fiyero grinned broadly and brought his face to hers, capturing he lips once more.

When they pulled away, Elphaba laid her head on his chest and said, "You know, as much fun as it is kissing you, can we get out of this closet?"

Fiyero laughed. "Of course." He then proceeded to pull a key from his pocket and unlock the door. Elphaba's jaw dropped in disbelief.

"You had a key this whole time and you never let us out?"

Fiyero ducked his head guiltily and quietly said, "If I had, I never would've gotten to kiss you."

Elphaba's gaze softened considerably and she walked up to him, wrapping her arms around his neck. "True," She said before grabbing his lips with her own.

"Okay you guys, I think it's time for you to- OH MY GOODNESS!"

The two were suddenly ripped apart by a flurry of blonde and pink.

"Elphie are you okay? It looked like he was trying to suck your face off!" Glinda said, then she rounded on Fiyero. "And you! I told you that you could go out with her, not suck out her human life force!"

Fiyero looked as if he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. "Sorry."

"It's okay. Now onto the next order of business. YAY!" Fiyero and Elphaba winced at her sudden screech. "I'm so happy for the two of you!" She swept the two into a group hug with surprising force for such a little body.

"Thanks Glin, I'm glad you're okay with it," Elphaba said into her friend's hair.

"Well Elphie, if I can't have him, you at least should." Glinda smiled at her best friend. "Now come on. After dinner, we have to pack for Shiz."

Elphaba smiled, anxious to see the school body's reaction to the party prince and the green freak as a couple.


Alrighty, I've decide that the next chapter shall be the last in this series. It's sort of an epilogue, if you will.

Oh, did you know that Elphaba loves reviews? Yup. Almost as much as Fiyero. Let's all make her happy and click that button!
