HYGTG snippet: gelphie dates
The first date Elphaba takes Galinda on is…rather a disaster actually. 
Not on purpose of course, she just didn’t plan as well as she should. Elphaba had tried to take them out for a nice dinner in the city, similar to the first date Galinda had taken Elphaba on. Except…she’d not accounted for the weather. 
The sky turns grey and starts to grumble almost immediately after they set out. The pair turn around early, but still end up getting absolutely soaked on the boat ride back.
Shit, Elphaba thinks, shucking her jacket off to sling around Galinda's bare shoulders as if that would help stop the deluge at all. Galinda's gonna hate me. 
But contrary to Elphaba’s initial fear, Galinda doesn’t seem to mind at all. She clambers out of the boat and takes Elphaba’s hand, tugging her to the courtyard, where she throws her arms out and twirls in a circle.
It's late evening, and most of the other students are either in their dorms or already in the city, likely hiding out until the rain stops. There are just a few lamp posts still flickering, a gentle orange glow that reflects off Galinda's pale hair.
“Come on!” the blonde calls, squealing as she turns and wet ringlets fall into her face. 
“Aren’t you worried about your clothes?” Elphaba asks. And your face? She wipes her thumb under Galinda’s eye where her glittery makeup has started to run.
Galinda pauses briefly, peering up at her. “Do I look terrible?” she asks.
“You look beautiful.”
The grin that spreads across Galinda's face is like sunshine all itself. “Then who cares? Now dance with me!”
Galinda takes her heels off so she doesn’t slip, her once-pristine curls plastered to her head as she giggles and whoops and spins. Elphaba has so rarely seen her like this, as if she doesn't have a care in the world and is no longer scared of who might see her.
When she presses her lips to Elphaba’s, she tastes like pure joy.
***
Determined to make up for it on their second date, Elphaba plans a simple picnic in the fields beyond Shiz. She packs up everything they need in a large wicker basket, buzzing with excitement as she waits for the afternoon sun to rise.
The girls make their way out of Shiz right on time, not a hint of clouds or rain in sight. They chatter back and forth about various things, Galinda trying to steal snacks out of the basket. 
“Where are we going?” Galinda asks, walking confidently in front despite not knowing the way.
It’s a warm autumn day with just enough breeze to ruffle the edge of Galinda’s pink dress. She's got her sketchbook tucked under one arm, and her face is shining as she glances around at the view.
Which is, of course, why she completely misses the dip in the path. Elphaba has to drop the picnic basket in order to lunge for Galinda, but in the end, both things end up tumbling to the ground. Their carefully planned lunch scatters into the tall grass as Galinda yelps and collapses. 
“Galinda!” Elphaba cries. She hovers for a moment, worried about her girlfriend and her girlfriend’s pride and her girlfriend's clothes (and her girlfriend’s pride over her clothes)…all reasonable things.
And the food, too, of course.
But Galinda is laughing, dusting her palms off on her dress even as she gets to her feet with a wince, ankle already swelling. Elphaba gives her a hand, holding her arm tightly when she wobbles.
“Are you okay?” she asks.
“I’m fine!”
Galinda looks around, finally spotting her sketchbook where it's splayed across the grassy floor. A noticeable boot print stains the open pages, the edges wrinkled and the drawing underneath smudges and ruined.
“Oh no, Oz, Galinda, I'm so sorry.”
Elphaba rushes to pick the sketchbook up, but the damage is already done. Her heart sinks a little as she realizes yet another date has gone wrong.
“It’s okay!” Galinda leans up to give Elphaba a peck on the cheek. She takes the book from her with careful hands. “It's just one spread, Elphie. No big deal.”
Elphaba ends up carrying the blonde back to school, Galinda a warm weight on her back as she hums in her ear, her arms wrapped around Elphaba’s shoulders.
“Are you sure you’re not upset?” Elphaba checks. Galinda presses a kiss to Elphaba’s temple and then knocks their heads lightly together. 
“Stop asking that, Elphie!” she says. “I think this was still a wonderful date. And look- I got you right where I wanted.”
Despite the teasing note to her girlfriend’s voice and the second kiss placed on her neck, Elphaba can’t help feeling a little disappointed in herself. Oh well. Third time’s a charm?
***
The third time is somehow the worst yet. 
By the time they return to the dorms, mud splashed up their legs and leaves falling from their hair, Elphaba is starting to think she’s been cursed.  
“Maybe it’s a sign that I’m not cut out for dating,” she grumbles, her hands fidgeting with the blanket on top of them. Galinda's hair is slightly damp against her shoulder as the girl leans against her.
“Oh, Elphie. Don’t be so dramatic! I still had plenty of fun.”
“Dramatic? Galinda, every date I’ve tried to plan has turned into a disaster.”
“That’s not true! I think they’ve all been perfect.”
Elphaba feels her chest clench, a little guilty and a little in love. “You’re just biased,” she says softly. She sighs, feeling her shoulders slump. “I keep trying to set up fun things for us to do, and they just keep backfiring.”
Galinda shakes her head, giggling softly in that adorably breathy way of hers. 
“That’s just it, silly. We don’t have to do anything or go anywhere to make it a perfect date.” Galinda rolls over until she’s fully in Elphaba’s lap, smiling fondly at her as she gives her a kiss on the lips. “Just being with you is already everything I need. I mean it.”
“You do?”
“Always.”
A bubble of warmth spreads through Elphaba’s chest, loosening any of her previous worries. She sighs, leaning in so her forehead rests on Galinda’s.
“Well,” she says softly. “I guess I must have some luck.”
“Hm?”
Elphaba grins, wrapping both arms around Galinda’s waist and pulling her even closer, ducking down to press an open-mouthed kiss to the girl’s jaw just to watch the way her cheeks flush bright rosy pink. 
“After all,” she finally says. “I did manage to get the prettiest girl in school.”

Another one of the Peeta moments that rot in my brain constantly is the scene in catching fire when Katniss and Finnick get stuck with the Jabberjays.
Peeta had his hands pressed against the force field, trying so so hard to be there for her and wanting so badly to protect her. And when it finally ended he held her, and rocked her, and let her hide her face in his arms, and protected her for as long as she needed him to and…..that’s just so ughhhh….so heartbreakingly sweet.
