I do not own Pitch Perfect 1/2 or the characters used. I wrote this forever ago, and I guess I switched it from being in Beca's POV to just a third person kind of thing. After re-reading it and changing some things I feel like it works out and if I tried to change it to just one POV everything would be really weird and not work. Hope you like this!
At the restaurant
"It's about time you two arrived" Aubrey said throwing Beca and Chloe a stern -but riddled with nerves- glance as they walked to the table.
Sitting next to the blonde, was none other than Stacie Conrad. Who looked slightly less nervous than her date.
The two stood there, mouths shaped into small O's as they stared at Stacie, occasionally looking between the two.
Breaking out of her shock, Chloe spoke first." Sorry, Bree but things got a little, uhm, emotional, back at home." She says, giving Aubrey a big excited grin.
"Wait, what happened, are you okay?" Aubrey says, face morphing from nervous to concerned.
"Oh, no jus-"
"Are we gonna ignore that Stacie is here?" Beca says cutting Chloe off.
"Yeah, uhm, hi guys." Stacie sheepishly mumbles out. The girls have never seen her look more awkward in all the time they've known her.
"Hi Stace!" Chloe exclaims."Aubrey Ragsdale Posen." Her tone going from cheery to serious in the seconds it took to look from Stacie to Aubrey. Beca of course snickers at Aubrey's middle name. "Do you care to explain why you kept that you were dating our dear friend Stacie from me?"
Beca notices that on the word dating Aubrey tenses slightly and Stacie looks extremely happy, her grin expanding .
Aubrey doesn't respond for a few minutes, probably hoping Chloe will stop looking at her like that. But if you've ever met Chloe Beale you know, that she does not back down.
After a long pause, Aubrey lets out a breath and begins.
"I didn't tell you because I was afraid." She says, fear overriding her features, looking down she starts playing with her fingers before she begins again.
"It takes a lot for me to admit things like that, but I know that any other way of phrasing it would be lying, and i've done enough of that. I was afraid, because this is a part of my life that I didn't know was a thing. Until Stacie. I was terrified when I started having feelings for her, and if I told you I knew you would be supportive, and if that happened it would be real. I wasn't ready to accept anything. Then one day, I went out with Stacie, and while we were out I finally understood what everything meant, and I accepted it." She takes a shaky breath, tears slowly building in her eyes. " I am very sorry for not telling you Chloe, you had no idea how much I wanted to, but I just wasn't ready. Forgive me?" She finished closing her eyes to block the tears from falling.
Chloe, didn't do much blocking and let her tears flow free. Again very thankful for waterproof makeup "Oh, Bree, of course I forgive you. I'm very happy for you and Stacie. Just no more secrets. Alright?" Chloe asks staring across the table at Aubrey.
"Of course, Chlo. No more secrets, I promise." Aubrey reassures grabbing Chloe's hand and gently squeezing.
"Aubrey. Can you come outside with me for a sec? I need some air." Beca states not so much as asking as a silent demand towards the blonde.
Slightly shocked from the smaller brunette speaking, she turns toward her. She has an idea of what is about to happen, so she might as well just go with her. Stacie and Chloe look between the two, waiting for Aubrey to answer.
"Of course Beca. Let's go." The two get up from their seats and walk outside, the cool night air pushing into them.
The two sit in silence for a few minutes before Beca speaks up, her tone more stern than normal.
"She's liked you for awhile you know?" She whispers, but loud enough for Aubrey to hear her.
"No, I didn't. She only told me it was more than a few months. How long, exactly?" She asks, her normally demanding tone switched for a soft one.
"Freshman year." She replies quickly. "It was the party after our first real performance, a bunch of guys were hitting on her and she went and sat with you instead. She told me Chloe walked off with a gorgeous DJ. She saw you sitting alone and wanted to keep you company, she said you guys talked for hours and when she went home that night, she felt it. She didn't know what it was but she figured it out a bit after that night." Aubrey responded with a scoff and an eye roll.
"I don't think gorgeous, is the right wording. Maybe a hobbit, or pain in the ass might fit better." A smirk overtaking her features. Bantering with Beca being the only way to deal with knowing Stacie had liked her for a little over 4 years. Beca let's out a chuckle, and smiles.
"Yeah, maybe. But, I still have the love of my life, and her being your best friend means you have to deal with this pain in the ass no matter what." Beca says a small smile pulling at her lips.
"You love her?" she chokes out, surprised by that answer.
"Yeah, I do. It's why we were late actually, I walked down the stairs and fell for her all over again. Which seems really cheesy but I felt it. It seemed like the right time to finally tell her." Beca turns toward Aubrey, the small smile gone, replaced with a blank expression. "But we didn't come out here to talk about me. We came out here to talk about you and Stacie."
Aubrey had been expecting this, but just because you know something is going to happen, does not mean you can ever fully prepare yourself.
"She has had a huge thing for you for years. Right now she is finally getting what she has been waiting so patiently for. When Chloe said you and Stacie were dating, her face lit up and that's the happiest i've ever seen her in her life. She has been my best friend my entire life, and i'll be damned if I let you live if you ever break her heart." Her voice sounds like it's filled with anger, but they both know it's just Beca's protective side. "You make her happy, if you ever hurt her, in any way possible. I will find a way to hurt you ten times worse." She breathes in and releases a shaky breath, Aubrey stands there and waits for her to finish.
"I love Stacie, she is like a sister to me. I love you as well, apart from Stacie and Chloe you are one of my best friends, and I care for you like my sister as well. Don't ever make me hurt one of my sisters, whether it be Stacie or you." She says vulnerability and care lacing her voice, her blue eyes pooling with worry of what might happen to her friends.
Aubrey pulls Beca into bone crushing hug. Whispering "I love you too, so much." into her ear.
Beca doesn't shy away like she normally would, instead holding the blonde even tighter to her.
Neither of them know how long they stood outside embracing each other but they both knew they had been outside for at least 15 minutes.
"Beca." Aubrey starts after pulling away. "I think of you as my sister as well and I never want to hurt Stacie. I know we just recently started going on dates, but if she will have me I want to ask her to be my girlfriend. I plan on staying with her for a very long time, so I don't think heartbreak is an option. That being said, we've been outside for quite awhile and the girls are going to start worrying about us if we stay any longer. So how about we go back inside, yeah?"
"Yeah. Oh, and Bree?"
"Yes, Beca"
"I hate you" She says, grinning.
Aubrey laughs before shooting Beca a huge grin.
"Hate you too Mitchell" She responds. They smile at each other knowingly and head back inside.
As they walk back inside their dates look at them. Chloe seems teary eyed and they wonder what went on while they were outside.
"There you both are!" Stacie exclaimed. Eyes lighting up when she looked at Aubrey. "I was just about to go drag you back in here."
"Sorry Stace, me and Beca had a little talk and got a bit carried away." Aubrey replies, giving Stacie a sheepish smile.
"Stacie." Beca states. Staring directly at her.
"Yeah, Becs?" Stacie asks questioningly.
"Don't hurt my sister, if you do I break you." Beca replies firmly, gaze unwavering.
Aubrey suppress a gasp at Beca's forwardness with Stacie, she thought the sister comment was going to stay between the two of them. Thinking back to a couple minutes ago, she gets Beca's comment about not hurting her or Stacie. She smiles and watches the exchange play out.
"Uhm. Okay. I won't hurt Jade. But, what does she have to do with anything?"
For such an amazingly smart girl Stacie can still be quite dense sometimes.
"Not Jade, Stace." Beca sighs. "I meant Aubrey. Don't hurt her, if you break her heart I will hurt you. Okay?"
Everyone but Aubrey herself was surprised to hear Beca talk like that about her. Everyone knew she cared about the blonde, but sister was unexpected.
"Oh. Of course. I would never hurt her, she means too much to me. Anything done to hurt her will not be done by me. On the chance that I do, it will more than likely be unintentional, and I will try to do everything in my power and beyond to fix it." Stacie answers, albeit starting off shocked, she finished determined and confident.
"Good. Now that all of this is out of the way, can we eat? I'm starving." Beca smirks. Though her smirk is quickly replaced with surprise as Chloe pulls her into a bear hug. Chloe lets out a squeal knowing how much Beca cared about her best friend. It was really a dream come true for them to acknowledge that they cared for each other this much.
"Dude! No! Get off me Beale! Beca yells a bit louder than intended. People in the restaurant looking over at them, smiles plaguing their faces as they watch the interaction.
Finally getting out of Chloe's grasp they all share a laugh at Beca's grumpy face and decide to order and get the date officially started.
AN:I have a feeling that my Victorious people will understand why Beca's sister is named Jade. Anyway, it turns out that I didn't even have to change who Aubrey's date was because you all were hoping it was Stacie anyway. I'm so glad you all ship Staubrey because I freaking love it. We need more Staubrey fics in this fandom. I hope you all enjoyed this, again i'm not the best writer but i'm actually pretty proud of this little thing that i've done. I have another chapter done that is about what goes down while Aubrey and Beca are outside having their mushy moments. Seeing that I wrote these chapters a good while ago, I never actually did write the date, but if that's something you would like to see please tell me so I can get started on it! Till next time weirdos!
