"E-Elphaba?" he questioned shunned, for a moment forgetting the honorific. Both girl were quite positive they had never seen Boq so nervous, though Elphaba hardly noticed for she had taken to staring at Galinda. His hand wrung together and it almost appeared the drop of salty sweet would drizzle down from his forehead.

"I wasn't aware that…I didn't know…I uhm…" his words continued to stumble, much to the delight of Galinda.

By now, Elphaba had got over the shock enough to at least make an effort to do something. Long strides brought her across the room to Galinda. A twitching hand curled around a creamy arm and jerked the girl toward her. Green tinged lips hit her ear.

"What in the name of Oz are you thinking?" a whisper hissed into Galinda's ear. Green eyes twinkled with mischievous as she glanced at her green partner.

"I am thinking that now you HAVE to take me to the dance," she replied, directing it to the girl's ear as well. Frowning, Elphaba was ready to go into her all to often defensive mode when the little socialite pulled another unexpected twist. Cupping one of Elphaba's cheeks, she gently laid a kiss on the other.

A time could not be recalled when the green girl's had changed to such a dark hue. While Elphaba blushed uncontrollable and glared at Galinda, Boq looked as though he might lose consciousness.

"Thank you for the offer, though, Master Boq," Galinda chimed, watching with much joy as the two Munchkin tried to make sense of the situation.

"I really must…uhm…be going…It was nice to….see you Miss Ga-Galinda," the smaller Munchkin stammered before promptly taking his leave.

Galinda made it a point to shut the door behind him, only to burst into a fit of giggles and use the door to lean against. Her green love was still scowling, not to mention blushing.

"Galinda, are you mad!? The whole school is going to think we are lovers!" a response to the situation finally came. Though her voice was raised, it lacked the usual snap that Elphaba displayed upon being angry. Grinning, small fingers curled around the fabric at Elphaba's shoulders and pulled the girl toward her.

"Is it not true?" challenged Galinda, an uncharacteristic smirk curving her lips.

"Seeing as I have yet to take you to bed, it is not true," the green girl replied, her angered resolve slipping away. Without realizing it, Galinda had managed to snake her arms around the girl's neck and pull her closer.

"Well I figure at some point in time you will do just that," she offered, causing Elphaba to blush again. Her soft lips laid light kisses along Elphaba's jaw with a grin.

"I'd prefer Boq not think so," Elphaba replied, trying to resist the overwhelming urge to give into Galinda's soft kisses.

"Are you ashamed of me?" Galinda questioned. She pulled away, just enough to give Elphaba her usual pout.

"What? Of course not… I mean…I, well…"

"Mimicking Boq are we?" the blonde teased before giggling. It seemed unfortunately so that Elphaba had fallen for the little giggle. It always managed to pull a smile onto her face, though she wished it didn't at times.

"You know very well I am not ashamed of you," her reply finally came, her voice soft and caring. A pair of matching green arms wrapped around Galinda's waist, holding her in an almost protective manor.

"Then why does it matter if he knows?" a light brow raised on Galinda's forehead with the question. A sigh passed through Elphaba's parted lips.

"I'd prefer you not get criticized by all of Shiz," Elphaba responded, nuzzling her face into the intoxicatingly smooth skin of Galinda's neck. Galinda sighed contently as she felt green lips brush against her neck.

"I hardly care. The rumors are there Elphie. I know Pfannee and Shenshen assume the fact," she explained, but did not earn a response from Elphaba.

The green girl gently pushed Galinda against the door, letting her hands find their way to the girl's curvaceous hips. She took to sucking at the pulse point she'd managed to find on the Gillikin's neck. This action drew a light moan from Galinda's lips.

"I just do not want to you to get hurt," Elphaba spoke softly, just enough from her lips to brush against the girl's skin. A shiver of pleasure rippled down Galinda's spine.
