Hey guys, my lord hypnotoad likes story so update yay :D So I guess this idea received positive response? So here we go again. This one's twice as long as the first one hehe, enjoy :3 ((sorry for any mistakes)) *thoughts and songs are in italics
Beca's mind flooded with images of the redhead. Was Chloe really her soul mate? Why didn't she feel the heat coming from the necklace? Is there supposed to be a gravitational pull towards each other's necklace? Ugh, Chloe! Those startling blue eyes, that red fiery hair, her adorable smile.
Beca abruptly stood up from her chair and shook her head. She needed to clear her mind. After five hours of mixing and those annoying thoughts, she needed to calm down. Noticing that Kimmy Jin wasn't in the room, she quickly changed into her robe before grabbing her shower necessities.
What kind of roommate was she, ignoring your roommate and avoiding being in the room half the time. Beca scoffed as she walked out of her dorm and shut the door behind her slowly. She took in a deep breath and tried to focus her mind on something else, unfortunately, it always gets switched back to Chloe.
"Ugh." Beca grunted out loud. She decided to concentrate on something else. Unknowingly, she started humming Titanium, her favorite song. Pushing open the large heavy doors of the public showers, Beca shuffled in.
You shout it out, but I can't hear a word you say.
I'm talking loud, not saying much.
I'm criticized, but all your bullets ricochet.
You shoot me down, but I get up.
Beca stepped into an empty cubicle, well all of them were empty, weren't they? It was past midnight. She threw her robe over the hook outside the cubicle and started singing louder, gaining confidence.
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose.
Fire away, fire away.
Ricochet, you take your aim,
Fire away, fire aw-
Why was her necklace so hot right now? Beca didn't have time to comprehend what happened next.
"You can sing!" Someone behind Beca squealed excitedly. Beca caught a glimpse of that person. Red hair, shining blue eyes. Shit.
"Dude!" Beca screeched out, pulling the shower curtains to cover herself up as she backed to the walls.
"How high does your belt go?" Chloe giggled before leaning forward and turning the running water off.
"My what? Oh my god I can't concentrate on anything until you cover up your junk." Beca gasped out.
Beca's charm was pushing itself off her neck. It was literally an inch off her body. She glanced up at Chloe's neck and her eyes widened. Chloe's charm was also slightly levitating off her neck. Beca quickly reached up to grasp her necklace. Heat spread from the charm to her whole body.
Chloe's expression turned from excited to awestruck. Her hand drifted up to her charm. Beca's heart was racing in inexplicable ways. Chloe took a step forward and pulled her necklace off, placing the charm on her palm. Beca mirrored her actions and did the same.
"Wh-what are we supposed t-" Beca started, but got cut off when their charms pulled towards each other. Chloe raised her eyebrows as her mouth fell open.
The two necklaces spun around each other before the charms connected. Glowing red light escaped from where the two charms meet. Their charms turned a slight tint of red before separating and falling back into their respective owners open hands.
Beca and Chloe looked upwards into each other's eyes.
"I oh my god you're my- I'm your-" Beca whispered, her hands clutching her charm tightly. Chloe responded with a squeal and she turned around quickly and bounded out of Beca's cubicle.
"Quick, shower and get dressed. We're gonna go talk!" Chloe laughed excitedly and Beca heard the water running again.
Shaking her head, Beca couldn't stop the smile that was appearing on her face. She turned around and turned the water on again.
She had found her soul mate.
Beca got dressed as quickly as she could and stepped out of her cubicle.
"Woah! You gotta stop doing that." Beca laughed as she saw Chloe leaning right in front of her cubicle, that dazzling smile on her face.
"Let's go let's go let's go!" Chloe blurted out as she grabbed Beca's hands, eliciting a tiny squeak from Beca. Beca didn't enjoy touching other people, it made her feel all weird and awkward. Feeling Chloe's fingers interlace with hers, she tensed up slightly. Beca noticed the warmth spreading from where Chloe and her are connected. She looked down to their joined hands and raised an eyebrow.
Was that supposed to happen?
Beca felt Chloe tighten her grip on Beca's hand as she walked out of the bathroom.
"Can we go to your dorm?" Chloe asked softly. Beca nodded, remembering that Kimmy Jin wasn't in. Beca initiated the lead, pulling an over eager Chloe behind her.
"Didn't you feel the heat when we were um at the activities fair?" Beca suddenly asked.
"I did," Chloe laughed. "I just didn't want to scare you. You looked like you wanted to run away."
Beca blushed and looked away. "Oh." Before they knew it, they arrived at Beca's dorm. Beca awkwardly fished for her keys in her pocket before unlocking the door, Chloe patiently standing behind her all this while.
"Hey, did you feel that warmth when we touched?" Chloe asked as they stepped into Beca's dorm.
"I- uh yeah." Beca answered, nodding her head slightly. She dropped her keys on the table and dumped her dirty clothes and showering items into her cupboard.
"Just put your things on the chair, uh make yourself feel a-at home." Beca nervously said, twisting her mouth in a slight smile.
"You don't have to feel so awkward and nervous, Beca. I won't bite." Chloe smiled as she plopped down on to Beca's bed.
"You have a habit of making yourself feel at home?" Beca smirked, slowly sitting down on the other end of her bed.
"Yes, and you apparently don't," Chloe frowned, staring at Beca. "Come closer, Becs."
Beca looked at Chloe and pouted slightly, making Chloe giggle at her childishness. "Come here before I go over there and carry you over." Chloe ordered, a smile playing at her lips. Beca, being the stubborn and awkward alt girl, remained there.
"Hey!" Beca yelped as she felt arms circle around her waist. Her stomach growing warmer like how she felt her hands warm up at Chloe's touch. She heard a giggle and felt herself being pulled into a hug.
"You're pretty heavy for your size, Bec." Chloe laughed out as she pulled Beca into her lap. Beca tensed up and her heart rate increased significantly.
"Chlo, put me down." Beca groaned, struggling to free herself from Chloe's grasp.
"If I release you, you'll sit by me and we can talk." Chloe compromised.
"Fine," Beca mumbled and felt Chloe's arms loosen around her. "Thank you." She sighed.
"You don't like being hugged?" Chloe asked, a small frown on her face.
"I don't like being touched." Beca emphasized on the word 'touched'.
"That's okay, I'll turn you into a cuddle monster, trust me." Chloe confidently said, causing Beca to laugh out. Chloe's expression turned serious suddenly as she spoke again. "So these..." She removed her necklace from her neck again and placed it in her palm.
"I don't know, were they supposed to do that um- connection thing?" Beca murmured as she pulled her necklace off too. Both their charms were still a light shade of red, almost pink. They still emitted heat.
Chloe brought her charm towards Beca's and reconnected them. The two charms once again connected like magnets and glowed red softly, not as bright as the first time.
"Wow." The charms still manage to render the two girls speechless. They watched as the two charms seem like one, joining together and forming a symmetrical shape. Not a single crack was seen to signify the place where they separate.
'This is too cool.' Beca thought as she stared at the two charms.
"I know, it is." Chloe mumbled, her eyes still fixated on the charms.
"What?" Beca asked, looking away from the charms and bringing her gaze to Chloe.
"You said they were cool and I agreed?" Chloe said, confused.
"I-I didn't say it." Beca said, her eyes widened again for the umpteenth time tonight. "You can read my mind?"
"I no I can't I heard you." Chloe raised an eyebrow.
"Chlo, say something in your mind." Beca quickly said.
A few seconds passed before Beca spoke again.
"Beca isn't cute when she's frustrated, Chloe." Beca rolled her eyes. Chloe's mouth fell open as she stared into Beca's eyes.
"Oh my god, you can read my mind." Chloe gasped.
"Is this supposed to be something soul mates can do?" Beca asked, cocking her head to one side.
"Don't know." Chloe shrugged, before pulling the two charms away from each other. The glow slowly fading into the same shade of red as before.
Awkward silence filled the room for a minute or so and Chloe spoke again.
"You didn't hear what I said?" Chloe asked. "I mean, what I thought in my mind."
Beca shook her head, grabbing her pillow from behind her.
"Did you get what I said?" Chloe asked again, a focused look plastered on her face. Beca laughed at her scrunched up eyebrows and concentrated eyes before shaking her head once more. She was about to put her necklace back around her neck when she suddenly realized something.
"Chlo, give me your necklace." Beca reached her hand out. Chloe looked at her strangely, but obliged without questioning it. Beca joined their charms together again and the glow appeared again.
'Can you read my mind now?' Beca thought, looking intently at Chloe. Chloe's eyes widened as she looked towards Beca's unmoving lips.
"I heard you." Chloe whispered. Beca nodded excitedly.
"The telepathy only works when our charms are connected." Beca said, holding up the charms by the necklace chains. Chloe nodded and a smile appeared on her face.
"This is so cool." She breathed. Beca nodded and yawned, suddenly feeling her eyelids get heavy.
"You should probably go back to your dorm, can we talk about this again tomorrow?" Beca said sleepily to Chloe. Chloe's expression turned into hurt as she looked at Beca. Beca, noticing Chloe, quickly spoke again.
"I mean it's really late now, won't your roommate get worried?"
"Aubrey? Nah she's probably asleep right now." Chloe said, her expression returning to normal.
"Aubrey's your roommate?" Beca asked, her mouth falling open. Chloe giggled and nodded.
"Beca, can I stay here tonight?" Chloe abruptly asked.
Beca barely knew Chloe. She barely knew this girl, but it feels like they've known each other for their entire lives. Chloe sort of barged into her life, or shower actually, and Beca actually felt like she was at home. Was this because they were soul mates?
Beca frowned, causing Chloe to stand up slowly.
"No, I mean, yes you can stay tonight. I'll sleep on the couch." Beca offered.
Chloe shook her head. "No you can sleep here, we can share the bed?"
Beca nodded slowly. She put the two connected necklaces on her table. They both lay down and Beca turned on her side to the furthest edge of the bed, not wanting to get too close.
"Becaaaaa," Chloe's voiced drawled out. "I'm cold."
Without looking behind, Beca tossed Chloe her duvet.
"I'm still cold." Came the reply a few seconds later. Beca suddenly felt warmth shoot up her body as Chloe's arms encircled her waist once again. She almost fell off the bed at the sudden contact. Chloe pulled both of them into the duvet.
"Better," Chloe murmured, her breath tickling Beca's neck. "G'night Becs."
Chloe's entire body was pressed into Beca's back, but Beca didn't feel uncomfortable like she usually would, when someone else touched her. She reveled the warmth emitting from their bodies and she leaned further into Chloe, feeling Chloe's arms tighten around her waist again.
Oh god I should find this uncomfortable and weird, why does it feel so natural. I don't like hugging or touching or- shit I'm becoming a cuddle monster.
Beca felt and heard Chloe's slow breaths behind her, signaling that she fell asleep.
"Night." Beca smiled as she fell asleep to Chloe's breathing.
