What is Elphaba and Fiyero favourite date night activity?

(This made me want to do a quick little sketch 🙈)

Elphaba and Fiyero never really got the chance to have a date night while Fiyero was human. His new straw form makes some (albeit cliché) date night ideas a little impossible. A romantic, candlelight dinner for example. Already being a romantic in every day life makes it even more difficult for him to think of a date night idea that feels truly special.

However, there’s one thing he found that seems to make them both feel the exact intimacy and warmth of their relationship.

Stargazing

Every important, vulnerable moment of their relationship happened under the stars. It’s under the light and watch of the stars that allows them the peace of being themselves - together.

The specific word choice in the refrain being "as long as you're mine" works so well because you really can feel that these are two characters who have been forced apart for years finally getting to be together and express their emotions verbally and physically.

You can feel Elphaba's joy and relief that, after all the heartbreak and rejection she's been through, she is able to say that the person she loves is hers and have him say that she's his. To have him make it clear that that's all he wants too. That they finally get to belong to each other, not in terms of ownership or control, but I'm terms of finally being at a place where they can give and recieve love freely and take care of each other as seen when they both end up saving the other's life later.
