Elphaba was done preparing the food, and the table was ready too. She was cleaning the kitchen of jack's place, and thinking about how unusual that was.
She likes him, and looked like Jack likes her in return. First, that It cames as a complete surprise to her, because she was so far removed from what people thinks of as attractive, as admirable in

Well, least he had something for her as he dug a wrapped present out of his pocket holding in his arm.
Nearing his condo; he wondered how someone like her could like someone like him and it wasn't just the coldness of the man but the Jack being 'special' part. But she didn't seem to mind his twistedness and in a sense he was trying to better himself.
Opening the door, that was always opened, he rarely was in there anyways and no one borthered to disturb him. He heard singing... The elf smirked and joined in;
"I won't ask for much this Christmas
I don't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeers click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
All I want for Christmas is you
Oooh
Ooh baby
All the lights are shining (Oooh)
So brightly everywhere (Oooh)
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing (Oh Yeah)
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me
Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Oh Baby all I want for Christmas
Is
You"
As he finished the song up, leaned there against the doorway staring straight into the dining area though his sunglasses, there was a board smirk against his face and his white teeth showing even a bit.

“You really have a lovely voice, Jakie.” Elphaba kissed him on the check and then stopped, looking confused. “All this is so… homely. I usually don’t do homely.” She commented, trying to make it not sound like an accusation and not certain if she succeeded.

He cocked his head, his eyes half masked, 'Is it because you don't have a place you really call home.' He stood facing one hand weaving his fingers though her midnight hair.

"Maybe..."She sighed deeply and gestured to the table ."I hope you're hungry, I cooked to much you're going to have food for a year."

He looked at her heavy eyed, he didn't mean to bring up something sore and blinked, "A whole year?" He chuckled, "Taking to make me fat now?" Jack's chuckling froze, at the word fat and shook his head lightly, "Oh, speaking of which" grabbing the present now with his free hand, "This is for you." It was sloppied wrapped in green shiney paper and black ribbon but he couldn't wrap that well. "I think you'll find this rather usualful on your travels."
(Btw THIS is whats in there)

Elphaba looked surprised at the present. No one else gave her a present before. Glinda gave her the black pointy hat, but she did it to make fun of her, Glinda wasn't expecting that Elphaba would like it at all. So it was rather unexpected to have someone who already cares of giving her a present that she would really like. She wasn't sure what to say.
"you..you really didn't have to.."
(OOC: it's the PDA, isn't it? :3)

"Is something wrong?" The elf shook his head as she seemed to just stare at the wrapped object.
"Oh, I know that." As he throw his head to one side. "But I wanted too." Folding his arms together, "I really wanted too." His smile becoming more sincere. "Go on, open it... Sorry, about the sloppy wrapping work."
But he wasn't about to tell her he thieved it like he did everything.
(Yus ^^ and sorry for late tag I was iky today)

"It's the best wrapping i ever seen, Jack." It was true, no one gave her nothing wrapped before. She opened the present and looked at it mesmerized.
"That's a PDA right?" She smiled like a child and gave Jack a half hug, she was scared that a whole hug would melt him by accident. "Now, you should teach me how to use it, so we can talk as much as we want."

The elf nodded to her question and half hugged her back, he didn't really mind if it was a whole hug or not, hugs in general bothered him.
"Oh, it's not that hard... But why don't we eat while I teach you?" He had in fact only gotten up a little while ago and was sheerly going on coffee.
"I'm in need of a good breakfast." He was after all nocturnal.

“Breakfast, heh, sure Jack. Be my guest” She knew that it was, in fact, Jack’s house, but she wanted to say it.
The dinner was enjoyable; she really liked to hear Jack’s voice, even when he was complaining about Calvin. Elphaba didn’t like the man either, and she always was a good listener. She didn’t’ wanted to left Jack, but it was necessary, the situation of the Animals in Oz was critical, and the wizard would be the only one that could help them.

He ranted on and on. Pausing to eat and sip from the chinos they had. After a certain point he noticed he had spent their entire dinner talking about that man.
"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to make this unhappy..." He should go to someone else to rant about that man.
"Anyways.." He put the napkin aside, "Let me show you know to use that thing."
Scooting his chair over to Elphie's. "It's rather quite simple and it's screen touch so you just take this pen... and click whatever you want there on the menu... Simple no?"
Turning his head towards her, his eyes pleasent. "You know you really do look good in candle light."

No matter how time he did it, she was still not used to people giving her compliments. Her cheeks turned a soft tone of red...or violet, because of her green skin.
"You don't have to lie to me." She smiled softly.

As he reached out to stroke with his pointer finger though her long midnight hair, gently.

Opening her eyes, the witch left the PDA on the table carefully, like it was the most precious thing on the world. "I been thinking about what you said of eternity, Jack. I know I can't live forever, but I made a research and I found some interesting books on Shiz's library."
Reply
As his hand fell he took her hand gently and kissed it lighty.
At her words, his eyes met hers. "Oh? And what exactly where in these books you found?" Came the inquisitive reply "A way to live longer or forever, prehaps?" As curoius as he was, his voice still stayed in a romantic tone.
