Aw... I loved that little story!! Soo cute! :P

ah the suspense killed me, but it was still good. stupid galinda ruining the perfect fiyeraba moment, lol. very nicely written though i love how you talked about the meaning of a b-day between them it was kinda like the purpose of the whole situation/story. great job. perfect one-shot.

Happy Birthday!
I just have to say that you are my favorite Wicked author.
I really enjoy all your pieces.
Keep up the good work!

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!

Had the past year really changed him so much?

Even as he thought it, he knew the answer.
>Of course he knows the answer. hee hee

Fiyero crossed to the stairs quickly, not quite fighting the wide grin that spread on his face. Claiming a seat beside her, he offered Elphaba the other drink, beaming. “You came.”

It was as much question as statement, and she lifted her lip in that familiar half-smile of hers. “Of course.”
>he's so in love with her, it makes me do the gooey sigh.

He hadn’t realized how little fun he’d been having until she was there, suddenly brightening the entire space around them.
>*girliest grin in the world*

“Happy Birthday,” she said, and he heard it as if for the first time that night so filled with those identical words. The simple sincerity gave the words rebirth, and he took her hand in his.
>i love how it only means something coming from her. they're so adorable.

The song slowed, and he pulled her closer before she could back away. Smiling down at her, he teased her about something to distract her from the closeness so she could relax. Though they never lacked words between the two of them, he gradually let the conversation fade, pulling her closer still until she was against him, his face buried in her hair. She smelt so good, surrounding him in a cloud of contentment.
>SEXY SLOW DANCING OF LIFE!! i love it

"...I think any landmark is worth celebrating.”

She snorted discreetly. “You would.”
>ha! i love how she ribs him ever so slightly. good times

He kissed the top of her head. “I love it.”
>translation: "I love you"

Simple really; just, “Happy Birthday, Love, Elphaba,” but those last two words undid his entire thought process.
>now he's all gooey. how does it feel, fiyero? hmm? not so stellar, is it?

“Now you won’t be late anymore,” she added awkwardly as he blinked at it in shock.
>that's a really great gift for him, with a really great reason! i'd have never thought of that. i always find him hard to shop for in my stories.

Then her eyes fluttered back up to his, and he realized dimly that his resistance was totally lost.
>i love that, like in the back of his mind he goes "screw it, i'm done"

When he felt her shift slightly, a millimeter at most, closer and tilt to lean up just the ghost of a hint nearer, he surrendered to the need to kiss her, leaning down to close the distance.

“Happy birthday to you!” the raucous singing made them jump as Fiyero noticed the crowd fast approaching. Elphaba scooted away quickly, and Fiyero sighed with disappointment. Galinda bounced into his lap, conducting the final merry strains before she burst into a fit of giggles.
>I WANTED IT SO BADLY!! can you write another one after this? like, next is elphie's birthday, and they DO get to kiss? haha i can't help it

Perhaps if he had a birthday everyday, the next time he would finally get his birthday wish.
>oh just go after her already, fiyero! god!

i loved this. i was missing your writing so so so so so so much...!! yay updates!!

d~

aw I love the story's plot. I am a huge fiyeraba fan so of course i LOVED your story xD so cute and fun!

I absolutely loved it..

I love it! The friendship between Fiyero and Elphaba is beautiful; I can see why Fiyero's so cautious about potentially ruining it!
But still. The way Galinda interrupted at the crucial moment with the promised singing almost made me sigh with disappointment too! Fiyero should have gotten his birthday kiss ;D

Your birthday? It's mine too.

First HAPPY BIRTHDAY !

I really loved this fanfic and that Elphaba was a bit ooc. But I could really imagine it, the whole scene. Fiyero and Elphaba dancing, her smiling, they nearly kissing and Glinda interrupting anything. Wonderful.

Thank you

first, happy birthday! I think I am a few hours late, but I hope the day was lovely.

second, you're still on your game with the character interactions/tension that you build so well. wonderful!

I did have a nervous/disbelieving thought about where the heck Galinda bounced off to the entire time and whether dancing all night with a friend would have been plausable. but, what an enjoyable oneshot!
