Wicked
Pairing: Gelphie
Rating: K
Hi, I was wondering if you could do a Gelphie prompt in which Elphaba saves Glinda after she falls through some ice while ice-skating and Elphaba overcomes her fear of the water.
Thanks,
Bubble
"Elphie you look so silly" Glinda giggled loudly as her girlfriend struggled to walk in the snow with all her heavy clothing on. The small blonde had suggested that they went ice skating on lake as it had frozen during the winter.
"I'm glad you find it funny that I am allergic to water yet you've chosen to take me somewhere that is I am surrounded by it" Glinda rolled her blue eyes as the green girl huffed. She was covered head to toe in a waterproof suit, waterproof gloves and a hood covering her head, her face was the only green part of her shown.
The weather was cold yet the sky was clear, Elphaba wasn't sure whether that was a good or bad thing. It didn't look like it was going to rain which she was thankful for however, the distant sun was making the ice melt. She gulped audibly up to the sky.
"Come on!" the munchkin ran towards the lake upon seeing it through the forest. 'No need to wait for me' Elphaba sighed waddling behind her. By the time her roommate had arrived by the lake Glinda had her shoes on and was skating back and forth along the edge whilst she waited on her lover to get her skates on.
"Glin there's no one else here" of course there wasn't, she was the only one stupidious enough to be convinced to do such a thing.
"There's no one here to gawk at you" the blonde held out her hands to encourage the other to come in, "...or us" she was curious what the wink entailed that Glinda gave her after her flirtatious statement. Shaking her head she remained at the side.
Dear Lurline what if she were to fall, just a splash of water on her green skin was unbearable, it caused her flesh to bubble and peel. "You know, I am complacent of my achievements to travel here in the first place. I'm going to watch from here" she headed for a tree that had little snow underneath when she slipped on some covered ice.
This was the first time Glinda had heard Elphaba scream out in fear, she turned in time to see the green woman scramble off the ground checking herself of any damage. Elphaba tried to calm herself back down, her heart pound painfully in her chest and was sure tears of panic were threatening to fall.
"Elphie!" Glinda breath hitched skating as fast as she could to get to her.
*Crack*
It all happened so fast, the water was so cold that Glinda couldn't remember hearing the ice break or the sound of Elphaba screaming her name. Her legs were numb and her boots were weighing her down, her instinct of putting her hands out to break her fall were the only things keeping her from slipping into the pool of darkness.
The temperature of the water mixed with shock caused her vision to blur but she could see a blue blob that was vastly approaching her. The moment she could comprehend what had happened she wobbled on two thin blades towards the girl. Elphaba didn't give it a second thought when she ran to her loves aid. The fear of losing Glinda trumped her fear of water.
"Elphie" the blonde stuttered as her teeth chittered together, "no" she fought weakly knowing she was hurting her. The green woman hissed as she pulled the small body that had now become limp, water was seeping into her gloves and it burned an unbearable amount.
She pulled the blonde out and into her lap "it's ok my sweet". The blonde knew she had hurt her girlfriend badly but was so thankful for her being there to save her. Elphie carried her in her arms back to safer ground without any complaints.
