Soft lips touched her own and Elphaba tingled all over. She breathed shallowly as her eyes fluttered closed. Leaning closer, the tingles intensified. She felt indescribably buoyant. A few seconds later, she backed away and opened her eyes. Glinda's head fell to rest on her shoulder. Elphaba winced slightly.
"Sweet? Are you alright?"
"Mmmm…" Elphaba felt the sound resonate through her collarbone. She lay back on the bed, and Glinda followed like a limp doll. Elphaba stroked the girl's face, eliciting a smile.
"I've never done that before." Elphaba whispered.
"Neither have I."
"I find that hard to believe." She chuckled.
"I've …I've never kissed a girl before. I didn't know it was possible until I met you. Boys kiss differently." Elphaba moved closer and softly kissed her girlfriend's forehead.
They lay on the bed for an indeterminate amount of time. Long enough that Elphaba's new dress wrinkled, but nothing could dampen their spirits. They roused in time to get lunch from the mess hall, and walked with their arms around each other's waists. Glinda leaned her head on Elphaba's shoulder, Elphaba rested her head on her petite girlfriend's golden curls.
