Chapter Text

Galinda was in the office when she got a notification.

Galinda saw the bubbles pop up and smiled. She turned off her phone before Elphaba could point out that she had just used another emoji.

Galinda placed her phone down flat on the table, and the smile on her face slowly faded. That was a recurring feeling as of late: this absolute bliss from being around or talking to Elphaba, and then she’d feel something akin to the weight of the world on her shoulders.

Things between them were progressing fast—a pace she would’ve thought impossible based off of how slow Elphaba was to open up at first—but the both of them quickly got attached. But Galinda felt like she was living a double life… the picture of herself she’d painted for Elphaba, and the truth, which was that she’d betrayed her trust and lied.

She hung her head, her shoulders dropping. Even at the airport, she felt that guilt just being around her, and no matter how many times she acknowledged that weight and dissected the feeling, she couldn’t tell her. Having Elphaba in any capacity was worth more than losing her because of the truth, and she knew it was selfish and stupid, and if she really liked her as much as she felt she did, she would’ve said something.

But how could she?

Maybe she could plan an outing to introduce them and get them acquainted, and Shenshen could be like, She works ridiculous hours as your assistant, and somehow she’s been happier than usual.

Galinda groaned. There was no way she was sitting here picturing an imaginary lunch where she’d tell Elphaba the truth. She tapped the back of her phone, trying to think of the best way to tell her without being basically dumped, even though they weren’t officially together, or potentially being fired.

She had until Elphaba got back from her trip to build her nerve to tell her, because if she wanted things to get as serious as she’d been picturing them in her head, she couldn’t do it with this weighing on her.

This guilt was made even louder by Elphaba’s absence, because whenever she thought about her, she couldn’t help but think about how she couldn’t respect her one wish, her one ask of her. The beginning of their… relationship had already been plagued with so much. She didn’t want this to be another thing that came between them, but that was wishful thinking, because it was going to, no matter what.

She took her mind off of it as the days passed by. Not having Elphaba in the office was shaping up to be rather boring and draining. Before, when she’d sit at her desk all day, it didn’t feel like much of anything, but now she knew what it was like to sneak away to Elphaba’s office and steal kisses, and to have lunch with her, and talk with her as she waited for the elevator.

She didn’t remember the floor being so empty and quiet.

But the boring days were brightened by small messages from Elphaba on her tour and her inevitable ranting when her standards weren’t met. Galinda was also blessed by cute pictures of her. Elphaba was a couple hours ahead, so sometimes things didn’t always line up, and she’d be asleep by the time Galinda got home.

Halfway through her trip, Elphaba finally gave in to Galinda’s pleading and agreed to a call.

Galinda smiled as Elphaba adjusted her glasses, scrunching up her face as she read over something. She let out a small scoff before reaching for something else.

Galinda said, “So when you would tell me goodnight, you’d still stay up hunched over papers?”

Elphaba’s eyes flicked to her phone, and she smiled before Galinda saw her place the papers somewhere off camera. She looked back at the camera and said, “Well, technically no, because I got these today and I wanted to go over them before my meeting tomorrow.”

She let out a small yawn and brought a hand to her mouth, her eyebrows scrunching as if she was annoyed by the yawn. She was so cute. She had glanced away when she covered her mouth, but she looked back at the phone now and squinted.

“Where are you?”

Galinda held her phone further back and said, “On the couch, just laying down.”

Elphaba hummed, and then she said, “One second.”

She got up, and Galinda saw her grab a plate before going out of frame. When she finally came back, Galinda saw her moving around, and they were finally able to talk, but Elphaba made it clear she wasn’t staying up too late.

As they talked, she got ready for bed, brushing her teeth. When she spit out the toothpaste, she turned the camera away from where her phone was propped up on the sink, and Galinda couldn’t help but laugh. She heard the water turn on as Elphaba rinsed out her mouth.

She picked up the phone again, grinning, and said, “Haven’t seen you brush your teeth.”

Galinda said, “Because it’s still early.”

Elphaba hummed, and Galinda could hear the judgment. She rolled her eyes, and Elphaba was smiling down at her phone. She pressed her lips together as she stared, and Galinda could see her reflection in her glasses, so she hadn’t swiped out of the call.

She said, “What is it?”

Elphaba smiled and said, “I… I’ve missed you.”

Galinda could feel an odd weight behind those words, but she pushed it down and said, “Oh… how much?”

Elphaba shook her head and said, “Here you go.”

And Galinda couldn’t help her honest to god giggle. “I’m just asking a question. Tell me.”

Elphaba was silent, save for the smile on her face, which told Galinda all she needed to know.

Galinda bit her lip and then said, “Or, I mean, I don’t know… you could always show me just how much you miss me,” ending it with a wink. She wasn’t sure how effective it would be over the phone, but she watched the screen intently for any shift in Elphaba’s expression.

Somehow, she managed to keep her face straight before finally turning the phone so her face was out of frame, and Galinda couldn’t help her laugh.

“Elphie…”

Elphaba turned the phone back, an eyebrow raised, and Galinda sighed dramatically. She said, “I’ll go first then.”

“Galinda,” Elphaba said in a hushed breath.

Galinda leaned forward, propping her phone up on the table, and she sat back on the couch, making sure Elphaba could see her. Not once did Elphaba tell her to stop, and she didn’t look away for a second. Galinda took that as all the permission she needed.

She reached down, untying the string from her shorts, and she said, “I’ve missed you, Elphie.”

She paused, her hands settling in her lap, giving her a minute to say something in response, but Elphaba didn’t say continue or stop. Instead, she licked her lips and said, “Show me.”

Galinda couldn’t help her surprise, even if she tried. It was late, and Elphaba’s voice had dropped a little in pitch. Galinda stood up and slowly pulled down her shorts and panties, letting everything fall in a heap at her ankles. She stepped out of them before sitting back down, her face coming back into frame.

Elphaba promptly lay down, stuffing a pillow under her chin. Galinda felt put on the spot. She spread her legs, her hands on the cushion to show she had no plans to touch herself yet.

Tilting her head, she said, “Have you ever done this type of stuff before?”

They hadn’t really spoken about Elphaba’s past before. Galinda had no perception of her romantic history, but part of her had a feeling Elphaba was going to say no. Galinda almost thought her too wholesome, despite her proclivities.

Elphaba said, “Maybe.”

Galinda nodded. “Maybe, huh?”

She brought a hand just above her knee and trailed it up her thigh before sliding it back down, and Elphaba said, “Galinda…”

Galinda could see her eyes flicking up and down, looking from her face to her wandering hand.

Galinda said, “What, baby?”

Elphaba said, “You…”

Her face tensed, and then she grabbed her phone with a small scoff and rolled over. She held the phone up over her, and Galinda didn’t want to keep her up late and restless for some intern to have to pay. Getting Elphaba off was patriotic in a sense, if you thought about it.

But she couldn’t think about it right now, because the only thing on her mind was what she would do if Elphaba were here. She brought a leg up onto the chair, effectively spreading herself for Elphaba. She dragged her hand between her legs slowly and rubbed her clit.

She said, “It should be you between my legs.”

Elphaba let out a small gasp, and at first Galinda thought it was just a hum of acknowledgment to let her know she had heard her, but Elphaba’s mouth parted before it closed again.

Galinda pressed her lips together and said, “Elphie…”

Elphaba said, “Yes,” and even that sounded breathy, which made Galinda think she might be right in her assumptions.

She dragged her hand up her stomach and said, “Where’s your hand?” Elphaba pressed her eyes shut, fighting a smile, and Galinda said, “Well, that’s not fair, is it?”

Elphaba groaned, rolling onto her side, and Galinda said, “I want to see you.”

Elphaba said, “If you show me how much you miss me first, I’ll think about it.”

Galinda laughed and said, “You’ll think about it? You’re only talking like this because you aren’t here.”

Elphaba chuckled and said, “And what would you have done if I was there?”

Galinda bit her bottom lip, and she brought her hand between her legs. She didn’t respond at first; she simply took in Elphaba’s face, and despite the low light and awkward angle, she looked amazing.

Galinda heaved a breath and said, “I would’ve found a better use for that mouth of yours instead of letting you give me orders and question me.”

Elphaba pulled in a shaky breath that was audible, and Galinda felt her skin tingle. She brought two fingers to her mouth and spat on them before bringing them down to her clit, where she smeared the spit over herself. She let her head fall back as she took in a deep breath. She was already so sensitive.

She said, “When you get back, I think it’s time you learn some—mhmm—manners.”

Elphaba said, “I wish you were here to fuck me.”

Galinda looked down at her phone at once and said, “How many fingers are you using?”

Elphaba breathed in hard and said, “Two.”

Galinda swallowed against the newly replenished saliva gathering in her mouth. “Are you wet?”

Elphaba let out a whine in response and said, “Uh-huh.”

Galinda said, “Let me see.”

She pulled her hand back, and Elphaba said, “Galinda—” She huffed and said, “Fuck!”

The phone fell, or she assumed so, because Elphaba came out of frame. There was some rustling, and Galinda couldn’t help but smile. When Elphaba picked up the phone again, she propped it up so Galinda could see her entirely. She was leaned against the bed frame so she could be upright and still see the phone, and her legs were spread, giving Galinda a clear view of her soaked pussy.

Galinda breathed in hard and brought her hand back to her clit. She said, “Elphie, you can take three.”

Elphaba’s chest heaved, and Galinda smiled and said, “If you were here, I’d be using three fingers.”

Elphaba said, “I’m sure.”

Galinda’s hand stilled as she watched Elphaba bring her hand down, spreading herself and smearing all the slick leaking from her against her fingers. She spread her legs more and worked two fingers in before pulling back and adding a third.

Galinda’s eyes widened as she heard her fingers sink in. She was so wet that Galinda could hear the sounds she made over the phone. Absentmindedly, she started moving her fingers again, curling them against her clit as she watched, and she said, “You must really miss me.”

Elphaba let out a huff, her face screwing up, and Galinda smiled. She said, “At least one part of you doesn’t have to pretend.”

Elphaba pressed her knees together, blocking her face, but Galinda could still make out her fingers stuffed in her pussy.

Galinda said, “I’m joking, Elphie.”

It didn’t take much pleading for her to spread her legs. Elphaba let out a gasp, and those thighs parted like the red sea, and Galinda found she liked watching her like this far more than she had expected.

She couldn’t help herself. She mumbled, “Don’t you look beautiful… all spread for me.”

Elphaba’s eyes pressed shut, and her fingers sped up, and Galinda said, “Such a good girl for me, Elphie.”

“I’m so close.”

Galinda could tell. She swallowed and said, “I want you to come whenever you’re ready, and keep going after that, okay?”

Elphaba gave a jerky nod as she gasped.

Galinda’s own fingers sped up, and she could feel herself getting closer and closer, but she didn’t want to look away for a second. She heaved a breath as she clenched around nothing, her orgasm taking over. Her head fell back as one leg dropped, and she tilted her hips up, grinding against her hand. She swiped her fingers down, scooping up the slick there with a small satisfied huff.

When she blinked open her eyes, Elphaba was watching her, her glasses crooked, and Galinda said from her reclined spot, “Miss you a lot, as you can, hmm, see.”

She pulled her hand back and brought her fingers to her mouth, content to just watch her as she sucked them clean. It seemed to tip Elphaba over, because she gasped and brought her other hand down to rub her clit.

Galinda shook her head. “So greedy. I want you to come, Elphie. You’re right there.”

Galinda didn’t reach for the phone. She stayed where she was so Elphaba could see her. What Galinda would give to be able to press her face between those thighs and let her come all over her.

She said, “I want you to come all over me, Elphie.”

Elphaba let out a loud moan. It was so loud from her phone speaker that, if Galinda had guests, they would think she was watching porn. She brought her hand back down, slowly rubbing her clit as Elphaba withered, her stomach tensing as she came, and her hands didn’t pause for a second. She continued fucking herself.

Galinda watched intently for the beginning of overstimulation so she could tell her to stop, but Elphaba’s body arched up, and Galinda saw a gush of liquid from between her legs. Her eyes widened, and she nearly knocked her phone down in her rush to grab it. She knew Elphaba had squirted before, but she had never been able to cause it until now. As indirect as it was, Elphaba had been the first person to make her squirt, and now it was coming full circle. Galinda was not disappointed.

She wondered vaguely about Elphaba’s phone getting wet, but the way Elphaba’s body contorted and she moaned Galinda’s name put it completely out of her head. Galinda could see her body clench as the squirt gushed out of her in waves, every time she pushed her fingers in.

Galinda was speechless, just watching, and it seemed like she faded out of Elphaba’s awareness because after she finally pulled her fingers out, dragging them up to her stomach, she just lay there, her legs spread out on the bed, breathing hard.

Galinda wished she could commemorate the moment forever, hanging what she was seeing on a wall.

She finally found her words and said, “Elphie…”

There was no response.

Galinda swallowed and said, “Elphaba?”

Elphaba sat up, breathing hard, and reached for her phone. Galinda waited for her to show her face, but as she held it up so they could see each other, the phone shook in her grasp.

Elphaba said, “My phone is wet, and the bed is soaked.”

Then her hand fell.

Galinda said, “I can’t believe this is my first time seeing you squirt and I’m not even there.”

There was a small whine, and Elphaba held the phone up again. She said, “I have to sleep on the edge of the bed now, or maybe put down a towel.”

Galinda smiled and said, “You are so… wow, Elphie. I don’t even have the words. That was so surreal.”

Elphaba smiled at that, reveling in Galinda’s reaction to her squirting, and she turned her head away before muttering, “I’m going to need a new phone.”

Galinda felt her clit pulse. “I doubt it.”

Elphaba hummed, and the both of them fell quiet for a moment before Elphaba looked back at the camera and said, “I can’t believe I just did that on camera. Oh my god.”

Galinda laughed. “I’m going to be thinking about this for a while.”

“I’m sure you will, my sweet,” Elphaba said.

Galinda smiled. “I do believe you.”

Elphaba’s face scrunched up, and Galinda clarified, “That you miss me.”

“Galinda, it’s late.”

Galinda scoffed. “Don’t try and run me off the phone.”

Elphaba chuckled and sat up properly. “You need to go brush your teeth.”

“Not because I call you mommy means I want you to act like my mother.”

Elphaba laughed and shook her head.

“But I won’t keep you up,” Galinda continued. “Thank you for indulging me.”

Elphaba softened a little. “I am… I’m happy too.”

Galinda smiled, and she’d pulled Elphaba’s leg enough times for one evening, so she didn’t tease her. She said, “Sorry about the bed.”

Elphaba huffed. “You see how good it feels to be the cause of someone squirting.”

Galinda laughed. “Whatever.”

She sat up, putting her phone back on the table, and reached for her underwear and shorts, putting them back on. She said, “I will talk to you tomorrow. I…good night, Elphie.”

Elphaba was quiet for a moment. Galinda sat back down and picked up the phone again.

Finally, Elphaba said softly, “Goodnight, Galinda.”

Galinda smiled, and she brought her phone closer before pressing a kiss over the camera and pulling it back.

Elphaba laughed and said, “Oh, you’re cute. I’m not going to do that, though.”

Galinda gasped and said, “How rude,” but she was smiling. She said, “Bye,” softly.

Elphaba said, “Bye,” and she hung up the phone.

Elphaba was always quick to end a call. Galinda chalked it up to a force of habit from work.

Galinda let her head fall back against the chair, trying to conjure up the image of Elphaba squirting again. When she got back, she really needed to do better, because how had she never gotten her to squirt before? But since Galinda was the one to tell her to use three fingers, technically she had caused it, but it wasn’t enough. She needed to feel Elphaba’s squirt wash over her. She needed to taste her, to feel and swallow everything she had to offer.
