Summary
"Um, Galinda? Are you alright?"
"Are you…knitting?"
Elphaba blinked, confused and glanced down at her own hands, the needles still carefully held "…Yes? Why?" Was it some kind of social thing she didn't understand that's causing her friend to act that way?
The blonde shook her head a bit, her loose curls bouncing slightly, her eyes only then locking onto Elphaba's "No, it's just…I didn't know you did. You never mentioned it before."Or,
After a surprise care package from back home, Elphaba embarks on the crafty hobby of knitting. Galinda gets very interested in spending quality time with her as she learns. Could Elphaba take this new found skill and find an opportunity to show how she really feels about her roommate? And why is Galinda looking at her hands so closely?

Exposure Therapy by or so it seems to me (thescullyphile)

Summary
A brush of the arm, a touch of the hand.
Galinda likes to be close to people, Elphaba has noticed.
--
After a lifetime of neglect and ostracization, Elphaba is not what you would call 'good at being close to people.' When Galinda notices her new best friend flinches from every touch, she proposes an experiment: exposure therapy, a way to start small and help Elphaba grow more comfortable with herself and others, one touch at a time.
But what started as an exercise in psychology might just prove to be the basis of something more.
