Fic: Do you think? (Wicked RPS, Idina/Kristin, Taye)

TITLE: Do you think?
AUTHOR: Angie
FANDOM: Wicked RPS
PAIRING: Idina/Kristin, Idina/Taye
SUMMARY: Idina and Taye lie in bed and discuss 'Wicked'
RATING: PG-13
DISCLAIMER: I am in no way implying that this is a true representation of the 'real-people' in the story. I mean no disrespect.
WORD COUNT: 300
AUTHOR'S NOTES: A follow up to 'What if?'. It is also told in three 100 word drabbles. There will probably be one more part to this.

“Do you think that Fiyero really loves Elphaba?”

Taye rolled over to face his wife, rubbing his eyes. She was staring up at the ceiling, and had obviously not been asleep.

“Baby, it’s the middle of the night…I don’t know.”

“I mean, he’d spent an afternoon with her, once. And they were so different.”

He reached over and laced his fingers through hers, lifting their joined hands so that the moonlight illuminated them.

“Different can be good.”

She turned her head to look at him, one side of her mouth turning up.

“Yeah, it can be.”

“I love you.”

“I…”

*****

“So…does Elphaba really love him?”

He didn’t look at her as he asked the question. Too afraid to see her face. She didn’t reply immediately, but he heard her breathing change.

“She loves…the idea of him. The handsome, popular boy taking an interest in her. She almost can’t believe it’s true sometimes, that he really loves her…this plain, strange looking girl…when he could have anybody.”

He felt his throat tighten and willed away the tears that threatened to come. A muffled sob escaped her throat and he closed his eyes, his teeth clenched.

“But he wants her. He loves her.”


*****

“I…I think Elphaba loves…someone else.”

Don’t say it, don’t tell me, go to sleep and we’ll pretend this never happened. But he knew that neither of them could forget and he forced the next question past the lump in his throat.

“Who do you think she loves?”

He knew the answer before it came. He wished his head was full of straw, so he didn’t have to understand.

“She…she loves Glinda.”

She held her breath, she couldn’t believe she’d said it. He lay quietly for a while.

“Then she should fuck off to Glinda and leave Fiyero the hell alone.”

Hee. Maybe I will, just for fun. You should - when I was a college I got glow in the dark stars and used a hole puncher to make them into tiny shapes and them I had the glowing things down by the door in the corner of my room as though the were the bugs in "Darkness Falls" (one of my fav eps by the way) that where going to come and get me if the lights went out - they looked fucking fantastic!

I know you're out there on the edge of civilisation but I'd like to think you have a little refinement ;) Well FFM was telling me on the phone tonight (while we were watching Iron Chef and I was somewhat ignoring him cause I was typing comments to you) that given my home town, we should be surprised that I can recognise utensils at all.

And she can be obscene my Maureen

as though the were the bugs in "Darkness Falls" (one of my fav eps by the way) - That would've been so cool. It would've freaked me the hell out, but cool nonetheless. 'Darkness Falls' was a great ep. I liked early XF when it was really spooky and not so conspiracy led. 'Bad Blood' continues to be my favourite ep though. Snarky!Scully just can't be beat.

we should be surprised that I can recognise utensils at all. - Well, I am very impressed that you use a knife then, even occasionally.

Did you ever doubt a kiss or two?
This is...spooky.

It would've freaked me the hell out It looked awesome and I coped ok with it. Although there were gaps in the bricks around our doors at college and the first time I watched Squeeze it was about 3AM and I stayed up the rest of the night staring at the gaps incase someone was coming for my liver.

'Bad Blood' continues to be my favourite ep though. Snarky!Scully just can't be beat And it wasn't even real cream cheese, it was light cream cheese - I heart cranky, snarky Scully.

Well, I am very impressed that you use a knife then, even occasionally. I can even use chopsticks (huge achievement for someone from my town) although I don't actually hold them right.

Cause her cold eyes can burn yet you yearn and you churn and rebound

'Squeeze' was horrible and freaky. Livers gross me out.

I heart cranky, snarky Scully. - I also love lust-struck, not-listening-to-a-word Scully. But then, Luke Wilson is hella cute.

I can even use chopsticks - I regard chopsticks as a step backwards and so refuse to use them unless absolutely necessary.

'Cause in the end you can't leave her

'Squeeze' was horrible and freaky. Eugene Victor will be one of the things that I am muttering about when they take away my shoelaces (him and Bob from Twin Peaks - they have both scarred me deeply)

I also love lust-struck, not-listening-to-a-word Scully. But then, Luke Wilson is hella cute. Indeed on both points but Mulder is pretty cute himself when he is trying to point out that Luke really isn't that cute.

fighting with microphones, freezing down to my bone and to top it all off I'm you.

you yearn and you churn - Reading this in my head, in my accent, those words so don't rhyme.

:)

I think they probably rhyme in most accents (and I tried a few out). But I say 'yearn' with an 'e' sound like in 'egg' and 'churn' with a 'u' sound like in 'umbrella'. So, no rhyming.
