Learning

"You want to learn how to flirt?" Fiyero asked, disbelief clear on his face.

Elphaba nodded, twisting her hands together nervously.

Fiyero suddenly started laughing.

"What's so funny?" Elphaba asked defensively.

"Nothing," Fiyero managed between chuckles.

"Then you will teach me," Elphaba said as if stating something obvious.

"I don't think you need me to teach you – you already know how to flirt. You flirt with me every day. And I don't want to share you with anyone. You can still practise on me, though," Fiyero suggested.

"I'd like that." Her lips inched closer to his. She brushed them lightly across his lower lip before moving to his cheek. "How often do you suggest I practise, then?" she breathed in his ear.

"As often as you can," he replied, pulling back so he could kiss her properly.
