Pairing/Characters: Elphaba/Boq.
Comments: Dreaming is for the sane. Reality is for the insane.
The moment is suspended, hovering above your groceries and you invisible soul (which one should spoil first, you may never know). The city is lit with green glass, and suddenly, with the nighttime fireflies of Lurlinemas, you wish to ask her so many things, of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings.
You want to know why we melt, and you want to know exactly what she sings.
But then she stares at you, and the moment is, as stated before, suspended.
Suddenly and slowly, however, you realize that you are small like everyone else is, and she’s green like everything else is, and no reason is necessary.
