Okay, so I'm sorry about how long it took me to get this up, but I wanted to see how people responded to the previous chapter first. Apparently, people seemed to like the Fiyerba, so everyone should be thrilled with this chapter. (I just want to say, I can't believe I wrote this.) Elphaba may seem really OOC in this chapter, and I'm sorry about that, but this is just what my pen came up with. I had absolutly no control over it, really. Thank you to everyone who reveiwed and told me if they wanted more Fiyerba or not. You guys all get cookies! *Throws cookies* Again, not one of my better written chapters, but I hope you like it. :)

Disclaimer: If I owned Wicked, I would be rich and famous. Neither of which I am. So there you go.

When she was finally done crying, Elphaba picked herself up and brushed herself off. She walked slowly down the stairs to her dorm. She rounded the corner with her head down and looked up to see her door in sight. Sighing, she walked toward it but stopped when she saw Fiyero walking toward it as well, dressed handsomely for his date with Galinda.
"Don't you look nice." she said, her words dripping with acid.

He smiled bitterly. "Why thank you."

Elphaba rummaged through her pockets until she found the dorm key. When she looked up again, Fiyero was standing much too close. Her breath caught as she stared at his face only inches away. The scene from this afternoon replayed in her mind and made it almost impossible to stop from throwing herself on him.

"Fiyero." she breathed. She meant it as a warning, but it came out sounding like a plead.

Fiyero's eyes smoldered as he backed Elphaba up against the wall. He placed both hands on either side of her, so that Elphaba was trapped. She was already held captive by his gaze, but she doubted he knew that.

"Fiyero, if you don't get away from me right now, you will deeply regret it." she said, trying in vain to keep her voice from sounding breathless and shaky.

Fiyero leaned in closer. "No." he said, his warm breath ghosting over her face. Elphaba couldn't stop herself from shivering.

"Fiyero, listen." she said, trying to maintain some resolve.

"Hmm?" he murmured close to her ear.

"You have to go to dinner with Galinda tonight."

"I wasn't planning on not going." he replied, his lips hovering by her ear.

Elphaba shivered again as her breath quickened.

"Cold?" Fiyero asked, his hands sliding down the wall some.

Elphaba just shook her head.

"And you can't break up with her. Pretend this afternoon never happened."

"Mmm, no." he said, nipping at her ear.

Her breath hitched at that, and she had to clench her hands to keep from grabbing him. "No to what?"

"No to the part about this afternoon. I will never forget that."

Elphaba shuddered and gulped. Amazing how the girl with the iron will could be turned to jelly so easily.

"Be that as it may, you still can't break up with her. Promise?"

"Mhmm." He smiled and kissed along her jaw.

"Thank you." She sighed, relaxing now that she knew she wouldn't be kept up all night by a crying blonde. Not that she was going to get much sleep anyway. Not with today's events.

"But," he said, stopping inches from her mouth.

She groaned internally. "But what?" she asked, suddenly wary.

"You have to promise me something as well." he pulled back to look at her.

She looked up into his green eyes and knew without a doubt that she would promise him anything.

She just nodded her head, as words seemed to fail her.

"Admit that you have feelings for me."

Elphaba almost laughed. Almost.

"That's all?" she chuckled, crossing her arms. "I was expecting something more difficult, but that's simple."

Fiyero leaned in close again, putting only centimeters away from their lips.

"Is it really?"

Elphaba gulped. "No."

He smirked. "I know. And I'm sorry I have to make you do this, but I need to hear it."

Elphaba struggled to think, trying to form words in her head.

Fiyero leaned back some and that helped her thought process a lot.

Finally she sighed. She looked up at him and forced the words from her mouth.

"I like you. A lot. I have since the Lion Cub incident. And I think…" she trailed off here, glancing up quickly to see his reaction. He looked back at her with expectation in his eyes.

"And you think what?" he urged.

"And I think…" she wasn't ready to tell him that she loved him yet. Definitely not ready for that. "And I think that you should be happy now that I've told you." she improvised, hoping he was still too brainless to catch it.

Fiyero didn't respond right away, just stared at her. Instinctively she cringed back, waiting for a rejection to her words or some other horrible thing to happen. Instead she felt lips against her cheek. They pulled back and she looked up to see Fiyero smiling warmly at her.

"I am happy. And that wasn't so hard, was it?"

"You didn't have to say it. It's harder than you think." she muttered.

"I love you." Fiyero said matter-of-factly.

Elphaba paused, staring at him before shaking herself and glaring at him. "Oh, shut up." she said as she slipped out from under his arm.

She turned to face him. "I fulfilled my promise, so you have to fulfill yours."

Fiyero's face fell. "But-".

Elphaba's glare silenced him. "You promised." She growled.

Fiyero sighed. "Fine. But eventually, I will break up with her, Elphaba."

Elphaba didn't say anything. She just strode past him and opened the door.

"Galinda, some idiotic, dancing prince is outside looking for you." Fiyero, who had come in behind Elphaba placed a hand over his heart and pretended to be hurt. "Ouch."

Elphaba flashed a grin over her shoulder at him.

Galinda bounced up and hopped over to the door, hugging Elphaba on her way.

"Have fun." Elphaba muttered as she swung the door shut on the couple.

"Bye, Elphie!" Galinda called through the door.

Two hours later, Elphaba sat resting against her head board, with the old book lying next to her. She had been reading more about the spell and was happy, while at the same time somewhat disappointed, to learn that those under the enchantment would not remember anything that happened during it. That meant that Fiyero would remember nothing of today.

She had been thinking about that while she sat. She still figured Fiyero was under the spell, which was why he was acting this way. As for her actions, she had reasoned that she would be a fool to resist love when it was given to her. Take a little love where you can, as she had heard once.

And as for her confession to him, that's where she had mixed feelings about him not remembering anything once the spell wore off. As much as she liked him loving her, she knew it was better for everyone if they just stayed friends. Which is what would happen once the spell was over. She had also researched how much longer the infernal spell would last. If she had done the math right, it was only going to last one more day.

Sighing happily, she got up and got ready for bed. Galinda would be back soon and Elphaba would rather not talk to her right now. Just because she wasn't going to stop Fiyero from loving her didn't mean she didn't feel guilty about it. And the guilt weighed in her stomach uncomfortably. She had also thought about telling her roommate about the spell but decided against it. Galinda's 'friends' would soon be back to their normal, shallow selves, and Elphaba didn't want to trouble the blonde with the complicated details of the spell.

The sound of heels in the hall signaled Galinda's return. Elphaba flipped off the lights and quickly slid under the covers, closing her eyes just as the door opened. She could hear Galinda talking to someone, no doubt Fiyero and then the door closed again. She heard Galinda attempt to tiptoe over to her bed and whisper "Night Elphie. Sweet dreams." before going into the bathroom.

Elphaba swallowed as the guilt in her stomach throbbed painfully. "Night Galinda." she whispered into the darkness.

Tomorrow was going to be a long day.

Again, thanks to everyone who reviewed. Please review again. The sooner you do, the sooner I get the next chapter written and up. The amount of reviews I get also decreases the amount of waiting time for said chapter. So all those who are reading, but not reviewing, do so, or I will get Elphaba on y'all. And you do not want that.
Oh, and you get extra cookies if you can find the sentence in the story that is actually a line from a song. And you get extra delicious cookies if you can tell me what the name of the song is, and what musical it's from. :)
