Wicked dir. Jon M. Chu | 2024

“People who claim that they're evil are usually no worse than the rest of us… It's people who claim that they're good, or any way better than the rest of us, that you have to be wary of.” ― Gregory Maguire, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West

⭒˚✧｡⋆ excerpt from warm, chapter 2.

Oh Oz, almost left the blonde’s lips in a whisper. Her fingers brushed the side of her breast that gently pressed past her bra’s lining and around to her back. Then she moved down to her ribs and midriff. Elphie wanted it to be over and done with, yet she was starting to favor taking it slow; she wanted more. The softness of her clear, green skin begged her fingertips to caress like never before. It wasn’t intentional, but she struck a nerve that made Elphaba’s stomach quiver followed by a small whine. “I-I’m sorry.”

The other shook her head with a hoarse, “No, you’re fine.” The way Galinda’s touch had transitioned from simple rubbing to more even paced had her refocusing her sights. At first, it was unnerving, being practically felt down by her best friend. Human hands weren’t the type to handle her with care, but here her roommate was, the most pretty and popular girl in school, caressing her in a way that was coaxing a rushing pulse; just like the countless other times her heart skipped a beat when catching her still asleep in the early morning light or pink, pouty lips when she didn’t get her way. She never thought someone like Galinda Upland could give someone like her such devotional care, however, judging by the way this was going, she was starting to see and feel differently.

Galinda worked her way to her spine where she found herself arching her back from her muscles’ pleasure. A breath later, she felt the blonde lean into her, voice soft and almost trembling.

“Elphie?”

“Hmm?”

“Thank you.”

She nearly moaned when the oil was spread across her lower back. “For what?”

“Well,” sighed Galinda, “For trusting me. I know it’s not easy for you.” That’s when a tender moan hit her ear but didn’t know if it was out of content or discomfort. Still, she kept on, “Doing this… It’s really special to me. I don’t know why, but… It’s really nice.” There was a pause. “It feels nice.”

“Usually it's like, oh, the Wicked Witch is in this musical. Ha ha ha, she's the joke. But what all these people did was give her a real life. And Cynthia was adamant about that. Like, I'm not the joke. I have some self pride as Elphaba even if other people don't see me. I would have my nails the way I want them to be. I would have jewelry. And those created a lot of debates. Like, can the Wicked Witch have jewelry? And she's like, what are you guys talking about? I'm Elphaba.”

The way they appreciate each other. Like platonic soul mates.

“Elphie?”

The room was spinning. Everything was too loud. Too bright.

Too much.

Her chest constricted, tightening sharply as she felt her legs give out from under her, tears stinging her eyes as her entire body shook.

“Elphie? Elphie, baby, I’m here…”

Too loud. Too bright. Too much.

Her vision swam, soft pink coming into view. She felt something cool being pressed to her forehead and as she lifted her head, she met concerned brown eyes with her own.

“Sweetheart, I’m here…”

Galinda.

“Hi baby,” Galinda murmured, sinking to her knees, her hands cool against the overheated skin of Elphaba’s face. “I’m here. I’ve got you…”

Elphaba struggled to breathe, each inhale almost painful, each exhale too long. She was suffocating, the weight on her chest becoming unbearable.

The tears steamed down her cheeks now, unchecked.

“Elphie, I’m going to take your hand…” she heard Galinda say softly, before she felt warmth against her palm.

She tried to focus her vision through the tears, finding those warm brown eyes again.

Gentle. Patient. Waiting.

“There’s my girl,” Galinda whispered, scooting closer. “That’s it my love, focus on me.”

Elphaba nodded, shaking, breath hitching on each inhale, trembling on each exhale.

“You’re safe, you’re safe Elphie. I’m not going anywhere.”

Elphaba tried to inhale again, eyes locked on Galinda’s. But she couldn’t, she couldn’t breathe…

“With me baby… breathe with me,” Galinda instructed gently. Elphaba looked down. Her hand was on Galinda’s chest, right above her heart.

She could feel it beating.

Steady. Grounding. Safe.

She could feel Galinda’s chest rising with each breath.

Steady. Strong. Safe.

Elphaba found herself matching it, even though she could still feel herself trembling, each breath shaking, a dull ache beginning to form behind her eyes and at her temples.

“That’s it sweetheart. You’re doing really well my love…” Galinda’s voice was soft and reassuring, warm and kind.

Steady. Loving. Safe.

The room finally soft spinning as she began to calm. She felt Galinda’s thumbs wiping at the tears still rolling down her cheeks and closed her eyes for a moment.

Every once in a while, though less often since she and Galinda had started dating, she would get so lost in her schoolwork and sorcery studies that she’d work herself to the point of exhaustion.

And that’s when the attacks would return, her body and mind too weak to keep them at bay, too exhausted to activate the walls she’d so carefully put in place.

They varied s in severity, but always left her feeling drained, raw and a little too vulnerable.

“I’ve got you my love. I’m here. It’s ok.”

Galinda’s voice brought her back, her soft touch coaxing Elphaba’s eyes open. She blinked, then took in Galinda’s full expression.

Steady. Patient. Safe.

Elphaba leaned forward, pressing their foreheads together as she released another deep breath. “I’m sorry—“

“You never have to apologize for this Elphie.”

Elphaba knew that’s how her girlfriend would respond. Still, the usual guilt crept in, a lump forming in her throat.

“You’re safe with me Elphaba. You never, ever have to apologize for this,” Galinda repeated, her voice firmer now, but no less reassuring.

Elphaba just nodded, pulling back and opening her eyes.

“Hi,” Galinda greeted softly, still cupping her cheeks with her hands, her thumbs brushing soothing circles on her overheated skin.

Elphaba smiled, despite the fact that she was still trembling slightly. “Hi.” A beat passed between them. Not uncomfortable, just there. Then Elphaba spoke again. “Thank you.”

Galinda’s gentle smile turned wry, flashing her dimples as she shook her head. “Don’t thank me yet. I plan on taking you back to the dorm, hydrating you and making sure you eat some real food.”

Elphaba opened her mouth to argue and Galinda held up her hand, leaning in to press the softest kiss to the corner of Elphaba’s mouth. “Don’t argue with me Elphie. You cannot survive off of academia and spite alone.”

Elphaba huffed out a laugh, shaking her head before leaning forward to press a kiss to Galinda’s upturned lips.

“Thank you,” she repeated, trying to convey everything she was feeling for her girlfriend in that one expression. Gratitude, of course, but also the almost overwhelming, all-encompassing love she felt for the blonde.

Glinda shook her head, standing and offering Elphaba her hand. Elphaba gladly took it, smiling when Galinda tugged her close.

“You never have to thank me for loving you Elphie.“

And Elphaba… well, Elphaba melted.

And as they walked back to their dorm, hand in hand, she realized that letting her guard down for Galinda wasn’t such a bad thing after all.

Big fan of Jon Chu for saying you know what Act 2 needs more than anything? Gratuitous shots of Elphaba's biceps.

Elpha-bi-ceps, if you will.

Elphabaceps.

I mean we just keep winning.
