Here's chapter 7 :) Thanks to everyone who has reviewed my story in the past! There's going to be a lot of Fiyeraba cuteness in this chapter.

A few days later Galinda had announced that she was having a sleepover. Elphaba of course couldn't think of anything worse than a hoard of giggly, screechy girls so she rapidly thought of excuses to get her out of the sleepover.
"Elphie! It's going to be so amazifying, you have to come!" Galinda whined.
"Galinda, as much as I would love to come to you're sleepover I have a LOT of extra credit due in next week and if I don't get it finished I won't get my A*" Elphaba reasoned quickly as Galinda let out a childish sigh.
"You're always harping on about you're grades Elphie, you're the top of every class for the love of Oz!" Galinda said as she made her puppy face "Pleeeaaassseeee Elphie?"
"No!" Elphaba said as she struggled not to shout "I'm going to study, you'll have loads of fun with whatever theirs names are."
"Oh ok..." Galinda collapsed back onto her bed in defeat as Elphaba walked over to the door.
"Bye Glin" Elphaba called as she shut the door, not waiting for a reply. She let out a sigh of relief as she walked along the corridors to get to the library – the only place where there were never any screaming girls.
Elphaba sat down a took out the papers and books she needed to finish for next week, there wasn't that much she needed to do so she finished all of that within an hour. The next two hours passed slowly and she was getting bored without Galinda or Fiyero to talk to but she carried on reading anyway.
Meanwhile Fiyero too was bored. Bored of doing nothing. He decided to go and look for his girlfriend – as he said the word girlfriend in his head he smiled to himself. A few minutes later He arrived at the door of Elphaba and Galinda's dorm room, Fiyero was just about to know when the door flung open to reveal Pfannee.
"Hey, were you looking for something... or someone?" Pfannee flirted as she tossed her hair just like Galinda had taught her.
"Hi, is Elphaba there?" Fiyero asked as she glanced over her shoulder.
"No, she went to the library" Pfannee said in disappointment as he called a goodbye and ran off towards the library.
It didn't take him long to arrive at the library and he saw Elphaba through the window; she was hunched over a book looking very tired and fed up. He quickly walked through the door and circled his armed around Elphaba from the behind making her jump.
"Hi Fae" He said quietly into Elphaba's ear, Elphaba relaxed as she heard Fiyero's voice and she leaned back against him.
"Hi Yero, what brings you here?" She yawned.
"You, my darling" He smiled "I went to you're room and Pfannee answered, another Galinda sleepover?"
"Ugh yeah... I had to get out of there" She paused as she glanced at her watch "I've been here for over three hours..."
"Fae, you look so tired" Fiyero said with concern as he brushed a few strands of hair out of her face and helped her up from her seat "Come on, you can stay at my room tonight"
"But Yero..." Elphaba said as she turned around to face him "It's against Shiz policy..."
"Ah well, I'm sure they'll get over it" He winked as she gathered up her belongings.
"Well, if you say so..." Elphaba said in doubt as Fiyero took her hand and led her towards his room.
"Come on, it'll be fun we can have our own little sleepover" He chuckled as he turned the key and opened the door for Elphaba. She walked in and placed her bag on the soft carpet in his room. "You haven't been sleeping well have you? I can see it in you're eyes"
"No I haven't" She said before sitting down on Fiyero's bed.
"Well, we'll have to cure that won't we?" He said and then kissed her head.
"Um Fiyero... I have nothing to wear..." She blushed as she realised this.
"Hmmm I'll find you something" Fiyero said as he looked around the room. He couldn't find anything so he took off the shirt he was wearing and gave it to Elphaba "Here you go"
"Thanks" Elphaba laughed as she went into the bathroom to change. Fiyero slipped on his pyjama bottoms but once again he couldn't find the top so he left it off, besides he never normally slept with it on anyway.
Elphaba walked out of the bathroom and placed her clothes next to her bag on the floor. Fiyero couldn't believe how beautiful she looked.
"It's a little...um...short..." Elphaba stated as she tried to pull it down past her knees but failed. She was staring at the blue diamonds she loved so much, never before had she seen so much of them. Fiyero tried to find what she was staring at then realised it was himself. He took her hand and they sat on the end of the bed once again.
"You can have my bed and I'll sleep on the floor" Fiyero offered then went to find extra blankets in his cupboard.
"No, I can't let you do that!" She said and led him away from the cupboard and to his bed "This is you're room and besides... theres no one I'd trust more"
"You're sure?" He smiled because he knew how much it took for Elphaba to be open and trust people.
"Yes, I'm sure!" She blushed as he pulled back the covers. They both got into them and Fiyero held Elphaba close to him. She rested her head of his chest and began to trace the blue diamonds she had always longed to touch. Elphaba herself couldn't believe how comfortable she felt with Fiyero, never in her wildest dreams did she expect to find someone like him.
"Can I ask you something?" Fiyero thought out loud.
"Sure..." She said slightly confused.
"What's you're favourite colour? I don't think you ever told me that..." He said as he inhaled the lovely scent of Elphaba's hair. Elphaba looked up at him and stopped tracing the diamonds.
"This is going to sound so stupid" She said with a stifled laugh "My favourite colour is... Blue"
"I guess I should take that as a compliment" Fiyero chuckled before placing his lips on hers. Elphaba yawned sleepily and began to fall asleep.
"Elphaba?" Fiyero whispered "My favourite colour is emerald"
Elphaba only smiled in response and she fell into a deep sleep, Fiyero followed soon after. Neither of them woke until the next morning.
Fiyero woke first and looked down at the sleeping form of Elphaba in his arms. He smiled lovingly at her before turning his head very slightly to see the time. It was 8:30 am; they only had half an hour to get to their classes! He contemplated going back to sleep with Elphaba but he knew she would never forgive him if they missed a class so he spoke gently to wake her.
"Fae... Fae..." He said after placing a small kiss onto her forehead.
"Hmmmmmm... Yero?" She opened her eyes slightly and returned the kiss sleepily.
"I hate to put a dampener on this beautiful morning but... we only have half an hour to get to class..." He stated quickly.
"What!" She sat up and got out of the bed. She quickly gathered up her clothes and went into the bathroom to get dressed – it only took her ten minutes and Fiyero was thankful that she wasn't like Galinda. After another ten minutes both Elphaba and Fiyero were ready so they set off to class not wanting to be late. They had their first class together so they took the only two seats next to each other that were left and the professor began the lesson.
Elphaba payed attention immediately but she couldn't help but notice how confused and bored Fiyero looked. After last night she definitely owed him one so she scribbled a note to him.
Thanks for last night Yero; I swear that was the best night's sleep I've had since I began at Shiz!
Elphaba xx
Fiyero read the note and quickly replied.
No problem, It's the best night's sleep I've had too so thank you. You're welcome to stay over anytime. As much as I love this note conversation, I don't think the professor would like it if his star pupil began slacking do you?
Love Fiyero xxxx
Elphaba looked across at him and smiled in reply. She then began to work again; although she was concentrating she couldn't help but notice Galinda staring intently at her from across the classroom. Elphaba looked down at her paper again and saw a note in Galinda's writing.
Elphie! Where were you last night, I was so worried I went to the library to look for you but you weren't there!
Galinda x
Elphaba wasn't surprised at her friends concern and she realised she really should have gone back to her dorm and told Galinda she was staying over a Fiyero's dorm.
Galinda, I'm sorry for not telling you were I was but it was a kind of last minute thing. I slept in Fiyero's room so there was no need to be worried!
Elphaba x
Elphaba heard a gasp from the other side of the room and she turned to find Galinda excitedly smiling down at the note, writing down a reply. Oh Oz Elphaba thought... I'm in for the questioning now!
ELPHIE!!! How was it a last minute thing? What was it like? What happened? Did you sleep in the same bed? Tell me EVERYTHING!
Galinda x
Elphaba rolled her eyes at the note and began to reply.
I'll tell you later Galinda! It's a long story and I can't be bothered to write it!
Elphaba x
Galinda let out a huff and waited impatiently for the lesson to end, she couldn't wait to hear about Elphaba's night!
