finally facing my waterloo!

the way Fiyero has operated his ENTIRE life as an act because he fears nobody will like the real him, so he pretends to be nothing more than a smoking hot, flexible, rule-breaking play-boy so people will "like him." and he finally finds someone who likes him for HIM and not his looks or status or ability to move all sexy-like. and he tries so hard to be friends with her. but before anything can really develop, that girl disappears. and so he does the only thing he KNOWS will help her and subjects himself to who knows what kinda stuff under the Wizard, he leads along a girl he doesn't actually love and is eventually forced into a marriage because of it, but it works out because, hey, at least he made sure nobody killed the girl he REALLY loves. and everything is going well. until he saves her AGAIN and then he's presumably tortured and strung up, and she casts a spell. yay he's alive.
