Author's note: This is something the smeghead and I gamed out awhile ago and I started some time after that but I couldn't come up with an ending. And the one that I did go with, isn't great, but I'm tired so is what it is. He gets partial credit because some of the lines and part of the scenario are from him, but I changed a bit. Most of it was written while I was tried and he's only seen the first 672 words or so but I don't think he really gave them much attention. This is far from my best but I also don't think it's the worst thing I've ever written. Smeg's working on a thing, FSM knows when he'll finish it but trust me it's really cool, and I'm working on something else but it's in need of being rewritten. Also, my plan to kill the Bellas, which I'm not sure if I've mentioned or not, have ran into a hiccup as of about 8:55 or so US Eastern Thursday night. At this point I'm waiting on Smeg so we can confer. Anyway I yammer anymore and this note will be longer than the story, so enjoy, and, um, sorry that it's not better.
"Hey Beca, ready for another fun filled shift of stacking various forms of audio storage devices?" Jesse asked as the petite girl unceremoniously dropped her bookbag by the couch. She didn't miss the slight trepidation in his tone.
"What's got you in such an upbeat mood?" She asked, used to usually being the source of gloom between them.
"Oh, just family stuff." Jesse brushed it off. Beca was prepared to accept the answer, but he clearly wanted to talk about it. "My mom's cousin's son's christening is this weekend and there's going to be a party afterward and my mom wants me to go, but I really don't have the time, we've got practice and I've got a lot of tests next week that I need to study for. I just can't."
"Do you even know this dude that had the baby?" Beca asked as she got to work organizing one of the milk crates on the table.
"I do yeah, but I only see him a few times a year. We're not all that close." Jesse explained. "I almost know you better than I know him."
"Then you must not know him at all." Beca scoffed, causing Jesse to roll his eyes and ruefully shake his head. "Just sack up dude and tell your mom you can't go. You're eighteen.."
"Nineteen, my birthday was two weeks ago remember?" Jesse corrected her.
"You're Nineteen years old, you're in college." Beca continued on. "You're in a highly competitive a capella group. You have your own life. Are you even religious?"
"Not as such no." Jesse answered.
"It'd be different if it were like your brother or something." Beca pointed out. "But he's not he's your...what, second cousin? Fuck that noise"
"Yeah, yeah, you've got a point." Jesse agreed. "I'll tell her I can't make it. She'll understand."
"I don't think I've ever done so much vertical running in my life." Fat Amy said as the Bellas made their way out of practice.
"Trust me Amy, it's a good thing, when we win it all this year you'll thank me." Aubrey said looking past the Australian to see Jesse heading towards them. "Look Beca, your secret boyfriend is here. Just be glad I don't have proof of anything and Chloe's on your side or you'd be out on your ass."
"Dude, I'm gay. I'd never date a guy." Beca said with a shudder. "Ick."
"Huh." Aubrey said simply as she thought over Beca's revelation. "Well then Treble, why are you here?"
"Actually, I'm here for you." Jesse said, clearly nervous as he moved in front of the older girl. "I've been trying to work up the courage to ask you out since auditions, but it wasn't until Beca told me to 'sack up dude' recently, though about something completely different, that I realized I had to. So.. Aubrey, do you want-"
"Ok, so that was a cute speech and all, but I'm gonna stop you there." Aubrey cut him off. "Seriously, she didn't tell you? We. Have. An. Oath. I'd never touch a Treble. Besides, I'm gay too. Chloe can attest to that, can't you sweetie?"
"I certainly can, girlfriend of almost three years now." Chloe said before kissing Aubrey's cheek and wrapping an arm around her waist.
"Wait, what? I'm not the only straight one am I?" Amy asked looking around the Bellas. She was met with near silence, the only response was something inaudible from Lily who also meekly raised her hand. "You're all gay?"
"Well, we never said that." Chloe spoke up. "I'm technically bisexual."
"Pansexual." Stacie chimed in.
"I just know I like Ashley." "I just know I like Jessica" Jessica and Ashley spoke at the same time.
"What does it even matter?" Beca asked.
"It doesn't really, I was just surprised." Amy said with a shrug.
"But, I thought...I mean..." Jesse stammered, trying to collect his thoughts. "In the movies the guy always gets the girl."
"Not always." Stacie shook her head. "Sometimes, the girl gets the girl. Mainstream movies tend to be heteronormative."
"More reason not to care about them." Beca scoffed.
"Oh little one, I'm sure there are movies I could get you to watch." Stacie smirked, throwing an arm around Beca's shoulder.
"Girl on girl adult films don't count as 'movies' Legs." Amy wagged a finger at Stacie.
"Please, most of them are nonsense." Stacie waved it off. "Most are aimed at guys showing them what they think they want to see. I mean the few I've seen they're always talking about how their boyfriend doesn't pay them enough attention or something of the like."
"Well, as fun as this is, it's been awhile since I've eaten anything, so I'm going to go do that." Beca said.
"We usually grab a bite at the diner, would you two care to join us?" Chloe asked
"And that's what they call double jackpot." Stacie said with a wink to Jesse.
