'Do you have any idea what you're doing, or did I leave the Bellas in such incapable hands that you haven't planned anything yet? Come on Becs'

The older blonde shouted at her, furious. So furious, that she didn't at all notice the nickname for her once arch rival slipping out.

Aubrey, calm the fuck down. I have everything under control

Really, well why did you knock on my door at 9am, on the day before the activities fair, asking me for advice?

Because Aubrey, you've done this more often than I have, and while I've prepared, I don't want to fall under your 'exact' standards.' Beca replied, using air quotes around the word 'exact', smirking slightly.

Beca didn't know why Aubrey was acting like this. They'd actually become friends of sorts by the time championship rolled around, Chloe had even confided in her that Aubrey actually liked her now, hard to believe given the current state of their interactions.

After the show, Aubrey had been distant. Beca didn't know what she'd done, maybe the kiss with Jesse had been seen as 'unprofessional' by the fiery blonde.

Whatever it was, she'd been more and more difficult to be around since then. Beca missed her friends, especially given that over summer, she and Jesse had broken up, both realising that a minor crush wasn't worth ruining a solid friendship for. It had been nice while it lasted, but Beca's heart wasn't really in it and they both knew that..

Chloe had been there for her of course, in her bubbly, enigmatic way, and Beca loved her for it. She loved seeing the moody blonde less, every time she went over to hers and Chloe's place, she'd had her head bitten off for no reason whatsoever.

She'd approached Chloe, to see if there was anything she'd done to upset Aubrey. They'd been getting along well and she was genuinely concerned that she'd irreversibly damaged their friendship somehow. But every time she asked, the redhead pursed her lips and just said that nothing was the matter. Beca thought Chloe was a lousy liar.

Beca grew tired of the verbal assault from her former friend. Chloe clearly wasn't home. She'd have come out at the first sign of yelling, ever the mediator between her two closest friends.

Quickly, she walked towards a very confused looking Blonde, placing her arms on either side of her head, trapping the slightly older woman against the wall in a bid to stop her yelling.

'What the hell tiny'

'You're slipping Aubrey, if you were really angry, you'd have called me 'midget' or something more offensive. What's really the matter?'

'Nothing is the matter except having your tiny, skinny self practically on top of me'

'Again with 'skinny', can't you insult me today or something?'

'Beca, please get out of my personal space. We both know I have a rape whistle'

'No Aubrey, I need to know what's been going on with you. I loved that we were finally becoming friends, why did you have to just suddenly become distant?'

'It's... it's not your fault okay. I just couldn't be around you anymore, especially after what happened'

'What happened'

'At finals. Jesse practically mounting you in the middle of the audience'

'For your information Aubrey, he just kissed me. And as you well know, we're just friends now, so you don't have to worry about my toner, or whatever'

At this, Aubrey sighed, and all signs of anger disapeared from her face. A light blush graced her cheeks before she replied,

'It wasn't you I was worried about Beca.'

'Jesse didn't do anything either, just because he's in a different singing group, it's not the end of the world Aubrey

Aubrey cut the agitated brunette off.

'It wasn't him either'

Beca seemed genuinely perplexed, while Aubrey didn't seem to know where to look, eyes trying to find anything but the younger woman practically pinning her to a wall.

'Well who then?'

'Oh fuck it' Aubrey sighed, before reaching up with her left hand to reach for the back of her friend's neck and pressing her lips gently to Beca's. She responded to the kiss, enjoying the softness of her friend's lips, feeling an intensity there that she'd never felt with any of the boys she'd kissed before. As the blonde moved to deepen the kiss though, she jumped back, starkly reminded of the fact that she was in Aubrey and Chloe's living room, kissing Aubren fucking Posen, a girl, when she was in fact a straight woman. A straight woman who felt weak at the knees kissing another woman.

'Oh' Beca responded, once her brain managed to start functioning again.

'Aca-awesome. At least I got to try that once anyway, definitely better than I expected.' the blonde said softly, gently starting to pull away from Beca to leave the room.

'Where are you going now, you can't just do that and just leave'

'I have to Becks. I can't seem to be around you without wanting to do that. You're just so... you.' Aubrey mumbled.

Beca didn't know how to feel. But she couldn't let the blonde leave. Not when she'd just felt arguably the best kiss of her life.

Beca pressed forwards with her body, before forcing the blonde to make eye contact.

'I don't know what this is. I don't know how to feel Aubrey, I've never even thought about kissing a girl before, I'm straight.

'Let me lea...'

'You're not leaving. That kiss was incredible, and for whatever reason, I don't think I'll be able to stop thinking about it.'

Before giving her a chance to reply, Beca leaned up and pressed her lips to Aubrey's.

It was a harder kiss than before, though Beca noted that it was still as soft as before, but it was somehow much more... electric.

Aubrey was completely lost in the sensations of Beca's lips. She'd been lost to the girl ever since her audition, though she'd thought she was pretty ever since she'd met her at the fair. Aubrey was a Posen though, destined to win. She couldn't afford to lose herself to some petty wannabe DJ, so she'd been cruel to the girl ever since Chloe had talked her into letting her into the Bellas.

Over time, she'd realised that the girl was going places. That she might actually win them the competition. That maybe, in order to win, Aubrey would actually need her help. It stung, but she'd do whatever it took to win the final for her friends.

She'd softened towards the girl, and as she did so, her old feelings started to return, not that they'd ever really left. Chloe could tell of course, her friend was incredibly insightful when it came to reading people. Every time the bubbly ginger had tried to raise the subject with her, she'd blanched and changed the topic or suddenly found an errand to run. She could see the sympathy in the redhead's eyes though, every time the three of them had been in the same room. She couldn't stand pity.

Beca moved to part her friend's lips and Aubrey moaned slightly, causing Beca to press harder into her with her body, properly pinning Aubrey to the wall and simultaneously slipping her tongue into her mouth to caress her tongue.

The kiss got very intense very quickly after that. Beca's hand was entwined in Aubrey's hair, tugging slightly, each pull causing the blonde to moan and become more aggressive, occasionally biting Beca's lip.

Suddenly, the door to the living room opened, and Chloe walked in, causing the two to break apart. Chloe looked shocked for a split second, before beaming and winking at the pair of them and walking back out.

They were silent for a moment before Beca started to giggle. Aubrey punched her lightly in the arm before laughing too.

For the rest of the day, they hung out as normal, both content to not push things too far at the moment. Aubrey keen to not make Beca react like she had, and Beca confused as to what all this meant for her identity.
