She took his hand in her own, "She'd be happy to know you don't hate her though..." her eyes met his, "because I was happy to know you didn't hate me."

"I never hated you Glinda. But Glinda...what's going on. Why have you been spending so much time with me? I need to know."

"I wish I could say with certainty..." she sighed. "I like you, Boq. I like spending time with you. I like being with you. I'm afraid I'm..." she was so afraid to say it. Did she mean it? Was it him or just being with someone, anyone? She didn't want to break his heart. "I don't want to hurt you. The last thing I want is to hurt you, and that's why I'm afraid to say it."

"All I want is for you to be honest with me. You...you never were honest with me. That's all I want."

"I was eighteen when I fell in love for the very first time, and I thought it was going to last forever...and when it didn't, I stopped loving that way." she bit her lip. "And I used everyone around me, manipulated them, trying to attain and keep that love. It's all I wanted. And so I all but swore to myself I wouldn't fall in love again..." there were tears in her eyes, "but i'm afraid i'm falling in love with you. And nothing excites me or scares me more. I feel like I'm eighteen again...and i'm afraid I'll make those mistakes all over again and hurt myself and you and everyone else in the process..."

"Is that the truth Glinda?"

"I've learned better than to lie. If I've learned nothing else, I've learned no good comes from it." she was a little hurt by his question, but he had every right to ask.

"I always worshipped you" Boq said. "I fell in love with you the moment I saw you. BUt you never gave me the time of day. The funny thing is, if you had, if I had REALLY spent any time with you, I would have seen the truth. You were a stuck up little sorority princess, and I would have realized that I should never have wasted my time with you. You were shallow, and self absorbed. I'm glad we never got together back then. We've both changed. I was needy, and clingy, and I belived what I saw on the outside was the truth. I know now it's not true. And you've changed too. All the things I used to just see in your exterior, have made their way down to your heart now. This is the Glinda I've always imagined you to be. And I'm in love with you. Not in the puppy dog way I was before, but with the real you, flaws and all."

With tears in her eyes she pressed her lips to Boq's once more, this time in a much truer, purer fashion. Her hands cupped his tin cheeks, her whole body close to his. She pulled back looking at his face, seeing a beauty much deeper inside. In that moment, she did not even see the tin man before her, but the Boq she once knew. She saw what he was on the inside. "I love you, too. I love you in the way I've always imagined love should be. I understand finally why Elphaba never sees a man of straw when she looks at Fiyero. I just see you. I don't see anything but you." she took his hand and put it on her chest. "You healed my heart. All that time you thought you were the one who was heartless, but you weren't. I had a piece of mine missing, and now I don't feel so empty anymore."

Boq started to cry. "Careful I'll rust." He laughed. "I love you more than anything.

She wiped his tears away with her fingertips. "I'll polish you back like new. And I think there's some oil in the storage closet." she laughed through her own tears. "I almost expect myself to wake up any second," she admitted. It's just a little too good to be true." she kissed him once more, assuring herself she was really there.

"Don't worry, I'm not as hard and squeeky as I appear. It's actually quite supple" he said touching his chest. "Elphaba thought of everything."

"She tries her best..." she laughed. "I think she actually ended up doing a better job with you than Fiyero. Poor thing, she has to give him new straw all the time..." with the thought of Fiyero, it made her wonder. "You're not human...but are you mortal or immortal now? I don't think I was ever really told..."

"As far as I'm aware, I'm mortal. You must keep in mind that apparently with Fiyero she specifically said that he would never be hurt and never die. She cast a completely different spell on me from Fiyero and Ellie. She transformed me into something of a mechanical being. And even mechanical beings wind down eventually.

"I knew it was a different spell, but I just didn't know." it then registered that he said 'Ellie.' "You know then? About Ellie? That she can't die?" there was a distinct sadness in her eyes. "She can't die, but she can feel pain...she's still a human but could be tortured forever if ever she fell into the wrong hands..."
