"Chloe what the fuck are you doing?"
"I'm trying to get confortable but you won't move you ass. Seriously it's not even that big, just scoot over."
"You always get the inside, I want it this time!"
"I get the inside. It's tradition, Mitchell now move."
"No I want the inside so I'm staying where I am."
"You know I'll get my way eventually why are you being a pain in the ass?"
"Okay first off you don't ALWAYS get your way and second I'm not moving!"
The duo was currently in Beca's room ready to start their weekly movie night. It's a tradition that's been going on since they were eight years old and ten years later the tradition and friendship was still going strong.
They were fighting over who got to sit where and Beca being the mischievous teenager she is decided to try a new approach. Digging her heals into the side of Chloe's thigh; she put all her energy into ramming the redhead off the bed.
"FU—Beca! Seriously."
Chloe was currently laying face down on Beca's floor. Beca was on her bed laughing hysterically at Chloe's current position. Calming down and wiping the tears that had formed in her eyes she peered down at the floor to see Chloe rubbing her head. Suddenly nervous, Beca's smile dropped and was replaced by a look of concern, nervous that she'd actually hurt the redhead.
"Hey Chlo I'm sorry are you okay?"
"No, could you go get me an ice pack and some Advil?"
Beca didn't even respond as she shot off her bed and the downstairs to the kitchen to get Chloe her medicine and an ice pack. Nearly tripping as she reached the final two steps she heard a rustling in the kitchen. Peaking around the doorway she saw it was only her mom.
"Mom?"
"Yeah, sweetheart."
"Where's the ice pack and Advil?"
"Second cupboard from the right, why?"
Beca knew if she told her mom the truth she'd be in deep shit. She'd been warned on several occasions, no rough housing on the bed and it didn't help that it was Chloe that was hurt and not her.
Ever since they were ten and Chloe lost her mom, Mrs. Mitchell has been very attentive and caring towards the redhead, considering her a second daughter and part of the family. There was no doubt in Beca's mind that Chloe was her mom's favorite and while that might bother most kids it warmed Beca's heart to know her mom thought the world of her best friend.
Beca was awkwardly standing between the doorway and the kitchen table trying to figure out a way to proceed without getting a lecture.
"You promise you won't yell?"
"Beca Elizabeth Mitchell you tell me what's going on right now!"
Beca had to wince at the use of her middle name. Nothing good ever comes after the use of her middle name, ever.
"I might have accidently on purpose pushed Chloe off my bed and she may have hit her head…"
"BECA ELIZABETH—"
She knew it was coming; the big lecture but she didn't have time to deal with that not when Chloe was upstairs hurt. Grabbing what she needed from the cupboard she started to ease her way out of the kitchen walking backwards to keep an eye on her mom.
"Look mom I know you want to yell at me and I know I deserve it but I really need to get these things to Chloe so I'm just gonna go…now…bye."
Running up the stairs away from her mom Beca makes her way back to her room ready to apologize to Chloe. Before she even entered the bedroom she was already stumbling over her words.
"Chlo, I am so sorry I didn't think you would—"
Beca stopped mid sentence and dropped the items in her hands. Sitting, on her bed was Chloe, looking very okay with a smug look on her face.
"What the hell Chloe!"
"I told you I always get my way, Mitchell I don't see how you thought this was going to end any other way."
"But you…and I saw…and my mom…"
Beca was mad. Here she was feeling guilty for hurting Chloe and Chloe had been faking the whole time. She had nearly fallen down the stairs, was almost yelled at by her mom, and was ready to apologize and for what? Chloe was fine. Beca's faced contorted into a look of anger and rage, she was about to flip when her mom came to the door to check on Chloe.
"Chloe, honey, are you okay?"
"I'm fine Momma M! Nothing some ice and an Advil can't solve."
"Okay well if you need me I'll be in the study working on some paperwork."
"Thanks Mom!"
"No problem sweetie. And Beca?"
Sighing, Beca turned towards her mother. She knew what was coming. It was either going to be about not hurting Chloe again or her punishment for hurting her the first time. Seeing how Chloe was faking the whole time she wasn't exactly fond of either options.
"Yes mom."
"You lay a hand on that child again and you won't see the light of day for a week, am I clear?"
"Technically it was my foot so—"
"Beca Elizabeth!"
"Yes mom I understand. No harming Red."
"Good. You two enjoy your movie."
Closing the door behind her Mrs. Mitchell went down the hall, leaving the two girls to themselves.
"You're a cunt you know that! I thought you were actually hurt!"
Beca was ready to continue her rant when the redhead walked up to her and brought them in a tight embrace. Wrapping her hands around Chloe's waist she let her head fall to the crook in the redhead's neck. Taking a couple slow breaths she allowed herself to cool down but didn't stop the hug. They stood in the middle of Beca's room just hugging, nothing to be heard but the start up menu for whatever DVD Chloe had picked out. After a couple more minutes Chloe loosened her grip on Beca's neck only enough so she could look at into the brunette's eyes.
"I'm sorry I got you in trouble with your mom. Are you still mad at me?"
Beca wanted to say yes so badly but Chloe was giving her that look that she hated so much; the I-know-I-screwed-up-but-you-love-me-anyway look. Beca was used to this look and she fell for it every time. Chloe's eyes would shine extra bright under her lashes and Beca couldn't do anything but shake her head. This wasn't the first time Chloe had done something to get her or both of them in trouble and she knew it wouldn't be the last.
"I'm glad you're not really hurt, you scared me for a second."
Suddenly Beca was pulled back into the hug, not so intense this time but still just as good. She heard Chloe giggle and couldn't help the smile that crossed her lips as she pulled the redhead closer to her. Still in the embrace, Chloe spoke up.
"You're really adorable when you're worried, Bec."
Beca felt her face heat up at Chloe's words, thankful that Chloe couldn't she her face Beca just shrugged into the hug before pulling away.
"What movie are we watching tonight?"
"Only the best movie in the world! The Goonies!"
Beca had to shake her head at that. They'd probably watched that movie fifteen times in the year alone but she couldn't deny that it was her favorite as well. Moving away from Chloe and towards her bed she waited for Chloe to crawl in and claim the infamous inside corner. Getting under the covers, she turned off her lamp and waited for Chloe to start the movie.
"Hey Bec?"
Instead of answering she just murmured an hmmm and waited for Chloe to say whatever she was going to say. Feeling soft lips pressed to her cheek she turned to see Chloe very close to her face. They just stared at each other until they both broke out into huge smiles. Putting her arm around Chloe and pulling her closer, the redhead snuggled up to Beca side and pressed play waiting for the movie to start and for their weekly movie night to begin.
