Thank you Izzy and Faethedevoutscholar for telling me not i'm crazy XD.
And hopfully my OC here doesn't come off as an annoying prick of a mary sue, or whatever it's suppose to be :O
XD.
"Gay?" Screamed the Blonde,"Gay? You can't be gay! How can you be gay?"
"Galinda, please, you're making a scene." Said Faolen in a low voice.
"You don't look gay! You don't act gay! How can you be gay?" Screamed Galinda again.
This time the Faolen noticed the bartender and waitress staring at them.
"Deep breaths, Miss Galinda."
Galinda started hyperventilating. Faolen took Galinda's forearms and started rubbing them in what he hoped was in a soothing manner.
"Calm down, just relax, everything will be fine. Everything is fine. Just take deep breaths."
"Are you sure you're gay?" Squeaked Galinda.
"You tell me."
"Just because you're smart, nice, hot, well dressed, study music, and haven't made a move on me doesn't mean you'r-, oh my Oz you're gay."
"Don't forget the appletini. I don't know any straight male to drink appletinis in public." Said the Blond with a laugh.
"But you know, Faolen, women can be attractive!" Said Galinda.
"As true as that may be, I'm still gay." Replied Faolen.
"Well, maybe it's an acquired taste for you."
"Wouldn't know, never 'tasted' women."
"We could fix that." The Blonde said with a sly smile.
"What are you getting at now?" Sighed Faolen.
Galinda quickly moved in and kissed him on the lips.
"I- hrmpf!"
After taking three seconds to realize what had just happened, Faolen quickly retreated from the pink girl.
"So, how was it?"
"Galinda, don't do that!"
"Why not?"
"Do I have to spell it out for you? I'm gay! I like men!" Said an exasperated Faolen.
Galinda pouted.
Ok, I'll admit that's adorable.
"But we can still be friends, Miss Upland."
"Alright…I guess I can live with that." She said as she continued to pout.
Faolen smiled.
"It's getting late, where's your dorm? I'll walk you home."
Galinda suddenly looked uncomfortable.
"Umm, Faolen? I don't think I could go back there. I mean, my roommate's still there."
"Well, she's supposed to be. She's your roommate."
"I know, but I just don't think I'm ready yet. I just don't want to talk about what happened this afternoon."
"You're going to have to eventually."
"But I'm not ready yet."
Faolen considered this.
"So, what would you like me to do then?"
"Could I possibly maybe stay at your place, maybe possibly please with a cherry on top?" She said with a hopeful smile.
"Galinda…" Faolen started warily.
"Just as friends. Please? I need somewhere to stay and I don't know who else to ask!"
"Galinda, even if I let you, it's against the rules. If you're not my roommate, you can't stay in my dorm, especially when you're the wrong gender."
Galinda pouted again.
No. Stay strong Faolen, don't give in…don't…give…
Galinda then started staring at him with puppy dog eyes.
He broke.
"Ok, ok, you can stay with me, but we have to be careful, and no one can know about this!"
"Fine by me!" Squealed Galinda as she took him by the arm, "Let's get going then!"
Faolen sighed as he pushed open the oak doors of the pub and opened his umbrella; this was going to be a long night. As they started walking, Faolen decided to lay down a few ground rules.
"First, we have to be wary of my roommate. He's a partier so he might not be home when we first arrive, but he might stumble in while we're sleeping and discover you."
"Do I know him?"
"Do you know an Avaric Tenmedows?"
"Oh, I do know him!" She squealed.
"Great." He sighed again.
"Second, we don't share the bed. I'll sleep on the floor."
"You know, I wouldn't mind sharing the bed…" Said Galinda coyly.
"I would."
"Fine."
"Third, you'll have to get up early so you can get back to the girl's dormitories before anyone notices."
"Alrighty then. Oh, Faolen, it'll be like a sleepover!" She squealed.
"Uh huh…"
Faolen slid his key into the door, hoping that Avaric wasn't home yet. Unfortunately for him, he was. Avaric Tenmedows was passed out on his bed, with an empty bottle of whiskey on the floor next to him. He signaled for Galinda to be quiet as they slowly creped to his side of the room. They were almost there when Faolen accidentally kicked one of his cymbals that he had failed to put away after practicing.
Freaking Oz damn it, mother frick! He swore in his head as he winced at the sound of the metal clashing against the hardwood floor.
"Huh-wa? Whose there? I have a bat, and I'm not afraid to use it!" Said Avaric, his voice thick with sleep.
"Don't worry, Avaric, it's just me."
"Yeah, well who's the girl behind you?" He mumbled.
For a drunkard, he's got sharp eyes…
"Quick, Galinda, giggle!" Whispered Faolen urgently.
Galinda giggled.
Faolen then chuckled in what he hoped was an arrogant manner.
Avaric slowly began to smile.
"Oh, I see what's going on. Have fun kids, but be quiet, I'm trying to sleep here." And with that he collapsed back into his bed.
The two both breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank Oz he didn't turn on the lights.
"Alright, time for bed."
"Do you have any spare clothes? Mine are kind of damp and I don't want to sleep in them."
"Yeah, here." Faolen went to his closet and tossed a clean t-shirt at the girl.
Galinda suddenly blushed.
"Oh, don't worry, I won't look." He turned around.
Great, Avaric thinks I have a girl over. What do I do? Alright, it'll be too suspicious if he wakes up and we're not in the same bed, and he can't know its Galinda…maybe if I try and cover her, and she pulls the sheets over, maybe…just maybe he won't notice it's her!
"Ok, you can turn around now."
Faolen took a deep breath as he explained his plan to the petite blonde.
She nodded and smiled.
I'm so screwed. Was all he thought as he crawled into the bed with the girl.
Faolen's eyelids drooped as he felt the peace of sleep start to overcome him, but then tensed as he realized something was touching his stomach.
The blonde had slipped her arms around him.
He relaxed.
Huh, this isn't that bad…Was his last thought as he drifted to sleep.
