Summary
As a young teenager, romance was never on Galinda’s mind. It never occurred to her that this was what’s normal, she didn’t realise she was supposed to have crushes neither did she ever want one. Several boys over years have made flirting attempts, there were no flusters, no heart flutters, no butterflies, no fantasies. They all ended with a face of confusion and awkward goodbyes.
Or
Galinda is Demiromantic, her love life is a nothing burger, until Elphie shows up.

Summary
“We don’t have time,” Elphaba says. “Are you coming?” It’s not so much a question as it is the realization of a denial. Of course Glinda isn’t going to come with her.
Glinda doesn’t answer, instead she wraps her arms around Elphaba’s shoulders and they share a hug so fierce Elphaba is sure she’ll have the imprints of Glinda’s hands on her for the rest of her days.
“Elphie—we’ll fix it, alright? Just don’t be a stranger. I'll wait and I'll find you, but now go.”

Or, Elphaba leaves, but she’s not very good at staying away and Glinda is not very good at letting her go.- Language:

Summary
“Tomorrow—” It should sting. Should be outrageous, and yet it’s not. It’s—oddly relieving. It makes her laugh. “Make sure to cause a ruckus, then.”
Elphaba’s eyebrows knit together, confusion flickering across her face. “I beg your pardon?”
“A ruckus,” Glinda repeats, still fighting that strange bubble of laughter in her chest. “You know—chaos, mayhem, general disruption of carefully laid plans. That’s why you’re doing it tomorrow, no?”
“Glinda.” Elphaba’s voice carries a note of wariness now. “Do you want me to cause a ruckus at your wedding? Because I will.”
