From the Author: Apparently this story is liked, so continuing it!
"Galinda?" Elphaba whispered.
"Hm?" answered a sleepy Galinda. The two had fallen asleep together while snuggling to keep warm during the rain storm. Ever since the kiss in the bathroom the girls had become inseparable. It was rare to see one without the other. The other students of Shiz University looked at it as an unlikely but strong friendship, but little did they know that when they left to pick up some forgotten books in the library they were actually making out in the romance novel section (everyone else in this school was so strict and stubborn that they didn't bother with those books).
Elphaba knew what she was about to ask was stupid, but it needed to be said. "What are we?"
Galinda sat up in the bed so she could talk better. "I don't really know."
Elphie eyed her roommate. "Well, shouldn't we figure that out?"
"Probably," said Galinda. "Hm. Anyone outside of our friend group just think we're very good friends."
Elphaba chuckled. "They aren't all that far off."
"But we act like a couple, so..." Galinda trailed off into her thoughts, not sure where to go next.
"What?" Elphaba reached a green hand to hold the soft pink one. "We act like a couple. So why not be established as one?"
Galinda's face seemed to light up, but then suddenly fell. "That's just it," she said, taking her hand away. "I don't know if I could deal with that. You know how strict my parents are. What if they found out?"
"Then they will find that you are with someone you care about," she said, reaching her arm around Galinda's shoulder. "Isn't love enough for them to accept?"
Galinda gasped. "You love me?"
Elphaba hadn't realized what she said. She didn't even think before opening her mouth. "Well, uh..." Did she love Galinda? After several months of holding hands, kissing, and sweet words she needed to decide. Was Galinda the one she loved?
"Yes."
Blonde curls bobbed up and down as Galinda bounced on the bed, barely able to hold in her happiness. After being unable to hold it in any longer she practically screamed, "I LOVE YOU TOO!" and she tackled Elphaba with a rainstorm of kisses. A sudden crack of thunder reminded them of the storm outside.
"AAHH!"
Through the night the rain slowed, but didn't stop.
"I wont be able to go outside tomorrow," Elphaba muttered. "Too wet."
"That's okay," smiled Galinda. "I'll stay inside with you."
The two girls smiled, and fell into each other's arms. Continuing their dreams together and thinking about the joys to come.
