Summary: Chloe persuades Beca to let her snuggle with her in bed. Beca doesn't hate it so much after all.

Classes had ended, exam period was over and the summer had begun. The Bellas had been hired to perform at the opening of a new store in town, which was fortunately located not too far from Campus.

Usually the Bellas would all be staying at their house together but since it was the summer, the majority of the girls had opted to just switch between staying with family, visiting friends and returning back to the house whenever they had rehearsals scheduled. This meant that for the most part, the Bellas house was pretty empty, sometimes even completely uninhabited.

It was a Thursday and the Bellas had agreed to meet back at Barden to rehearse their choreography since they had nailed down their music a few days prior. Choreography rehearsals went well and they all decided to have dinner together at the house before leaving again.

One by one, the Bellas began to leave the house; Cynthia-Rose was headed back to Maine to see her girlfriend for a few days, Stacie had agreed to go away with a couple of her friends over the weekend and Fat Amy, although she was trying to keep it a secret, was going to sneak over to see bumper for the night since he was on campus that day too. So Chloe and Beca were the only two people actually sleeping at the house that night.

After the last Bella left the house at around 9pm, Beca went up to her room so that she could work on some more mixes, leaving Chloe to watch TV downstairs. Chloe, knowing Beca well, understood that the brunette would want some time alone to work on her music so she decided not to bother her for at least a few hours.

By about 11pm, Beca decided it was time to go to sleep so she quickly went downstairs to get a glass of water from the kitchen.

"Night Chlo." She said as she walked back through the lounge, passing by the older woman.

"Oh, night Beca!"

5 minutes later, the show that Chloe was watching came to an end so she too got up and grabbed a glass of water before heading up to her room to go to sleep.

Just as Beca had settled into bed and was about to turn off the light next to her, she heard a gentle knock at the door.

"Uhh, yeah come in." the brunette answered, loud enough for the redhead to hear

Chloe opened the door and walked up the small number of stairs leading to Beca and Fat Amy's room, stopping at the top of the stairs to look over at Beca, who was sitting up in her bed.

"Hi." Chloe said, in a chirpy tone

"Hey, what's up?"

"It's really quiet in this house, it's weird without everybody else here."

"Yeah it actually does feel strange, almost eerie." Beca replied

"Do you think I can sleep in here tonight?" Chloe asked with her bright blue puppy eyes fixed on Beca "The house is so empty, I don't really want to sleep all the way down there alone."

"Sure, sleep wherever you want Chlo."

Chloe smiled and quickly began to skip over to Amy's bed but stopped just before she got to it. She then proceeded to spin around so that she was facing towards Beca once again.

"Can I sleep with you?"

"You mean, like, in here?" Beca asked, pointing down at her own bed

"Yeah... we can snuggle!" The redhead answered with an enthusiastic look on her face as though it was the best idea she had ever had.

Beca rolled her eyes playfully at Chloe's suggestion and sighed, knowing that she had a hard time ever saying no to the redhead.

"Fine." She said as she lifted her index finger and pointed it at her friend "But if you kick me in your sleep again, like you did last time, I'm pushing you on the floor!"

Chloe clapped her hands together quickly in excitement and ran over to the other bed before jumping into the spot next to Beca, who was pulling herself down to lay flat on her back.

After pulling the duvet over them, Chloe immediately grabbed Beca's arm and lifted it, wrapping it around herself before then throwing her own arm around Beca's waist, pulling their bodies closer together.

"This is nice." Chloe announced, wiggling her body in excitement

Beca was silent for a moment, then in a serious tone, she said "What exactly is it with you and this whole snuggling thing though? I thought it was just something married people did."

Before Chloe could respond though, the brunette remembered the disaster that was her parents' marriage and corrected herself "Oh no that's right, married people don't snuggle, they just ignore each other for a few years before inevitably giving up and getting a divorce, right?"

Chloe immediately moved in, placing her mouth closer to the brunette's ear to whisper "If we were married, I'd never stop snuggling you."

The older girl then proceeded to squeeze Beca tightly for a moment before nestling her face into the brunettes neck and closing her eyes.

Beca didn't respond.

She continued to lay there with her arms wrapped around the redhead and a big smile on her face. She knew Chloe meant every word of what she just said.
