Tuesday

Chloe is apparently very wrong, because Aubrey spends the entire next week trying to make it up to Beca.

On Tuesday morning, she knows Beca is still mad, because she nearly leaves for work at the studio without kissing Aubrey goodbye. She wakes up early these days, before the other two. Beca woke Chloe this morning with a kiss goodbye and a promise to see her later. Chloe mummers her goodbyes and rolls over to pull the blonde into her. She doesn't feel Beca round the bed to do the same to Aubrey and she opens one eye in surprise, watching Beca reach for the bedroom door.

"Becs," she hears Aubrey's raspy voice say a second before the brunette is out of sight.

Chloe's unsure what the actual exchange after that is because her eyelids are heavy with sleep, but eventually she hears Beca heavily walk up toward the bed, and hears a chaste kiss being exchanged between the two. She knew Beca could never leave without kissing her goodbye, no matter how mad, and no matter how theatrical she had to be about it.

She thinks Aubrey says something like, "I love you, see you tonight."

And Beca responds with a grumpy sounding "love you too," before Chloe can hear the door shut behind her.

Chloe pulls Aubrey in tighter to her body, and delivers her her own kiss to the shoulder, because just because she thinks Beca has a right to be angry at the blonde, doesn't mean she has to too. Aubrey relaxes a little and they both fall back asleep.

After they wake up, Aubrey spends a lot of time nagging Chloe on how she can make it up to Beca. Chloe wants to help, because thats what she does, but she's kinda preoccupied with the whole work thing and so she doesn't really have time for brainstorming. Especially when she's kind of sure that Beca is partially giving Aubrey such a hard time because she loves getting under her skin and it's not entirely about the argument itself.

"I don't know Aubs, she's your girlfriend, think about what she likes. I have to figure out what to replace the leads back flip with because the understudy can't do that of course not that its his fault but-"

"But I need to think of something thats really going to get me on her good side you know. Should I cook her something? Or Bake maybe? Or buy her something?"

Chloe sighs. Aubrey didn't hear anything she said. Aubrey is an amazing girlfriend, Chloe knows this. She loves her with everything she has. But, despite the fact that Aubrey can multitask great when its work or school or a cappella, she's not always the best at multitasking when it comes to having more than one girlfriend in situations like this. Which is ironic, because Chloe thinks she should be used to it by now. Its been like, four years now.

"Just," Chloe sighs, racking her brain for something that'll just make Aubrey stop pacing around the room, "send roses to her office or something," she says distractedly, typing something on her laptop.

"Roses? She likes roses right?" Aubrey questions.

"'Bree, you've boughten her roses on anniversaries and valentines day and that one time when you called that stupid girl beautiful last year. She always loves them." Chloe squints her eyes remembering the girl that caused Beca and Aubrey to fight for three solid days. She silently hopes this fight is much quicker than that, because that was exhausting.

"You're right. I'm gonna go order them online."

….

Evidently, the roses don't work. When Beca comes home, Chloe is cooking dinner and before she knows it, she hears Aubrey yelling something in the living room.

"Seriously Beca?! How long is this going to last! I said I was sorry!"

Chloe hears no response and a second later she feels the brunette's hand wrap around her waist. "Hi, baby."

"How long are you going to torture her Becs?" Chloe asks, leaning into her embrace as she stirs a pot on the stove.

"Until I'm over it. How was your day?"

Chloe glances behind her, searching the room a bit. "Where are the flowers?"

"I sent them back." Beca says confidently.

Chloe spins in her arms. "Are you kidding?" Oh no, Chloe thinks. This is going to last much longer than she anticipated.

"What're you making?" Beca peers over Chloe's shoulder to look at the stove.

"Beca, I swear to God, if you don't quit playing this dumb game just to annoy her then I'm gonna start giving YOU the silent treatment."

"Hey! How would you feel if I did that to YOU!" Beca protests, hands on her hips. "The season finale Chloe! I'm actually upset its not entirely that I just want to bug her."

Chloe's eyes narrow, but then they soften, because okay she's right. She would be pissed if Beca watched a season finale of True Blood without her.

"Maybe just ease up on the whole silent thing at least? Talk to her." Chloe shrugs.

"We'll see."

But then Chloe gets a call from her co-director, which she takes on back balcony. She puts Beca in charge of the stove and Chloe watches through the sliding glass doors as Beca stirs and Aubrey sits at the kitchen table, obviously preaching something to the younger girl. She doesn't see Beca respond.

"Chloe?" She hears on the phone, bringing her back into whatever Tiffany was saying about the third act.

They talk for a while more until she hears Aubrey slide the glass door open. She walks to the edge with a cigarette perched between her lips and Chloe's eyes all but bug out of her head. Aubrey's never smoked a day in her life, but she knows Beca keeps a stash somewhere in the kitchen because, well, old habits are hard to break. But Aubrey gets on her case hard whenever Beca does decide she needs a cigarette, so this is clearly a cry for attention toward Beca.

While Tiffany still goes on in her ear, Chloe marches up to Aubrey, and using one hand she pulls the cigarette from her mouth along with the lighter she was just about to flick.

"Hey!" Aubrey protests, but Chloe ignores her.

Instead she marches to the door and knocks on it loudly three times with her knuckle. Beca turns to look out the door and Chloe raises the offending items and then mouths, "TALK TO HER." Then she proceeds to throw the cigarette over the edge.

Aubrey huffs and goes inside, and before the door shuts completely, Chloe hears Beca say, "Seriously?" And Chloe sighs in relief, because, well, its something.
