Summary
“Such a harsh judge,” Fiyero said with a teasing smirk. “I think Miss Elphaba has forgotten how to be objective.”
Crope laughed and Elphaba’s frown deepened. How unfair. She pointed a long finger at him, nail looking sharper than usual, and said heatedly, “Just because I’m in love with Galinda, it doesn’t mean I can’t be objective. The boundaries were sworn upon. Crope was the last one to touch the shuttle. That makes its Galinda’s point.”
Silence greeted her words, more than she expected, even if they did see sense in her judgment after all. Which, to be honest, she didn’t expect them to. Narrowing her eyes in suspicion, she looked at each of them in turn and was bewildered to see them all in some sort of state of shock.
For his Ozness’s sake, what was it now?

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.

Summary
Elphaba made a small, frustrated noise and tried to roll away again, but Galinda’s hand landed gently on her arm, halting her retreat. The touch was featherlight, but it carried weight. “Please don’t hide,” Galinda said quietly.
“I’m not hiding.”
“You’re under three blankets.”
“Drafts,” Elphaba muttered.
Galinda smiled helplessly. “Elphie.”
The name was soft but deliberate, a tether. Elphaba stilled. For a long moment, the only sound was the faint tick of rain against the window.
OR
Galinda can barely think straight around Elphaba.
