Beca brought her other hand up to the two girls' linked hands, nervously playing with Aubrey's fingers. She finally looked over at the blonde girl, "So are you alright with this?"
Aubrey looked at Beca then up to the ceiling, "To be honest, I don't know." She squeezed the smaller girl's hand, "But what I do know is that I've been miserable since that first kiss and I've been taking it out on you. I also know I care about you too much to keep doing that."
Beca looked down at their linked hands, speaking quietly, "I thought maybe if I didn't fight you too much that it would be easier on you."
Aubrey laughed suddenly and Beca looked at her confused, "Oh Beca, your fire is one of the things that I find so attractive about you. It hurt me so much when you wouldn't fight back because I knew that I did that to you."
Beca smirked, "You find me attractive?"
Aubrey raised her eyebrow at the brunette before pulling her into a soft kiss, "Definitely."
Beca smirked at her, "Well you're kinda hot when you go all aca-Nazi on everyone."
Aubrey's eyebrow raised higher, "Kind of?"
Now it was Beca's turn to laugh, "Ok, extremely hot." Then she pulled the blonde in for another kiss.
Aubrey moved back to her spot, back against the wall, head tipped back and looking at the ceiling, "I've never done this before."
Beca leaned against the blonde, head resting against her shoulder as she looked at the ceiling where Aubrey was staring, "Done what?"
Aubrey let her breath out slowly, almost a sigh, "Date a girl."
Beca shrugged lightly against her, figuring she knew the answer but asking anyway, "Parents?"
Aubrey sat up slowly, letting the smaller girl adjust to her movement. She looked over at Beca, "Yah, I don't think dating a girl is in their plans for me."
Now Beca did sigh, "Well, what about your plans for you?"
Aubrey shrugged, bumping the brunette off of her shoulder in the process, "I've always known what I was going to do." Beca looked pointedly at her so she amended her statement, "Ok, my parents have always told me how my life was going to unfold; be Valedictorian of my high school, graduate with a political science major, law school, marry a guy that is worthy of the Posens and make youngest partner at my law firm."
Beca gave a tight smile to the blonde, "But what do you want to do?"
Aubrey sighed, "I don't really know, I guess I really do want to be a lawyer." She smirks at the brunette, "I mean I am pretty good at telling people what to do and arguing."
Beca laughs, "Yes. Yes you are good at that. Like scary good."
Aubrey laughs with Beca, "And I guess I would like to find a girl to settle down with someday. A girl that loves me for all of me."
Beca squeezes her hand, "Are you sure about that?"
Aubrey sighs, "No, but I want to at least imagine that I can be happy like that. I just don't know if I'm strong enough to go against my parents and actually do it."
Beca sighs and thinks to herself, "Dammit, this isn't going to end well." Then she turns to Aubey knowing she has to try anyway and pulls her in for a small kiss. When the two girls pull apart Beca asks, "Aubrey Posen would you like to go out with me sometime?"
Aubrey nods slightly, "Yes, I would love to go out with you Beca Mitchell."

Life in the Bellas returned to a somewhat normal state after that night. Beca no longer sat back and took the verbal assaults of Aubrey like a timid puppy, she snarked right back at the frustrated blonde. Aubrey was still stubborn as hell whenever Beca brought up changing the set list, letting her know in no uncertain terms that the set list would change when hell froze over. Now it was only somewhat normal for the Bellas because when practice finished, their blonde leader and the tiny alt girl that were at each other's throats all practice would pack up their bags together with quiet conversation and small touches.
The two girls had been dating for two months now and tried to leave all of their major arguments about the Bellas at the Bellas' practices. But some days, like today, that was difficult to do. Beca threw her hands up in the air as she paced Aubrey's room while she got ready for their date, "Why will you not just listen to some of my mixes for the Bellas?"
Aubrey didn't even turn from looking at various outfits in her closet, "Because I'm the captain and what I say goes."
Beca stopped pacing and glared at the back of the blonde's head, "You are so infuriating some times."
Aubrey smirked as she selected a blouse, "Yes, but that's one of the things you like so much about me."
Beca growled because she knew it was true, "Fine, whatever." She started pacing again, "Is there anything I can do to get you to listen?"
Aubrey stopped mid turn, the blouse she was inspecting forgotten, "Anything?"
Beca stopped pacing again, lowering her head to look at the floor. She sighed as she knew she was going to regret this, "Yes, anything."
Aubrey set the blouse on her bed as she walked to her computer. She quickly brought up a website and smiled. She motioned for Beca to come join her at the computer. When Beca looked at the computer she shook her head rapidly, "Anything but that, please."
Aubrey looked at her like the cat that ate the canary, "Oh, not just that. You will remove all of your ear monstrosities and wear normal make-up, not all of that." She gestured to Beca's face. Aubrey continued, "Then you will take me out to a nice restaurant, of my choosing, and then we will go see a show. And by show, I mean a theater production not a movie."
Beca gulped, wondering if changing the set list was worth this. She thought about the looks on the girls' faces when they actually beat the Trebles with her set list and that made up her mind. She set her face, turning to look at the bright floral print dress starting back at her from the computer screen, "Fine, but we will actually try one of my mixes for this, not just you listening to them."
Aubrey smirked, but nodded at the smaller girl, "Deal."
Beca sighed, already regretting this, "Fine, deal."

It turned out that Aubrey already had the tickets to Wicked for the showing the next weekend, so Beca had to work fast in finding a restaurant. After a few calls, she finally managed to get reservations at a place that was acceptable to Aubrey.
The night of the date finally arrived and Beca stood outside Aubrey's room looking uncomfortable. She had removed all of her ear piercings as requested and replaced them with a simple diamond drop earing. Well, she actually couldn't afford diamonds, so these were just nice cubic zirconia, but they still looked nice with her outfit. She had decided to leave her hair down with soft curls added, adding to her wholesome look. She tentatively knocked on the door. When Chloe opened the door and then stepped back, Beca was surprised when she saw all of the Bellas crammed on or against Aubrey's bed.
Beca lowered her head to hide her blush when Amy blurted, "Shawshank?"
She couldn't help but laugh when Cynthia Rose looked at her and then at Aubrey, "Who is this girl and what did you do with Beca?"
She raised her head and glared at the girls, "Shut it nerds, I'm still badass and don't you forget it."
Fat Amy exclaimed excitedly, "Shawshank, it is you!"
Beca gave the blonde Tasmanian a small smile, "Don't make me hurt you Amy." The blonde held up her hands in surrender.
Then Beca turned and finally saw Aubrey standing there in her little black dress. Her mouth opened and closed a few times, much to the amusement of the other Bellas. She finally got her composure together enough to speak, "Aubrey, you look amazing." She walked up to the other girl and took her hands, leaning in to give her a chaste kiss, earning her a few catcalls from the girls sitting on the other side of the room.
Aubrey held the brunette's hands and held her arms out to take a good look at her date, "You look perfect Beca." She turned her head to the side with a slightly pained look, mumbling to herself as she stepped away from the brunette, "Too bad I had to bribe you to get you to do it."
Chloe saw the hurt that flashed through Beca's eyes and shooed the Bellas out of the room, calling over her shoulder, "Have a great night you two." She barely got a nod in return as Aubrey stared at the floor and Beca looked at her with a slightly confused expression.
Beca walked up to the blonde, putting her hand on her shoulder and turning Aubrey to face her, "Aubrey, you didn't have to bribe me to do this."
Aubrey huffed a little, "But that's exactly what I did, isn't it? If you say I didn't have to bribe you to do it, then why haven't you done it before?"
Beca looked at her in surprise. She stuttered out, "Because you never asked." Aubrey looked at her in shock, while Beca continued, "I would do just about anything for you Bree, but I can't read minds. You have to let me know what you want."
Aubrey pulled the smaller girl into a hug, "You would have really done this for me if I would have asked?"
Beca nodded against her, "If it was something that you really wanted, then yes I would have done it for you."
Aubrey kissed her date deeply. When she broke the kiss she smirked at the brunette, "Ok, I'll ask for what I want from now on, starting now." She looked around the room, "Chloe is staying in Stacie's room tonight, so we'll have the place all to ourselves when we get back." She leaned in and tugged on Beca's ear before whispering in it. Beca leaned back and looked hard at the blonde standing there with a smug look on her face, the blood rushing to Beca's face as she nodded to Aubrey.
Beca played the perfect gentlewoman for the entire evening, pulling out Aubrey's chair for her at dinner, holding doors open for her and being attentive to her. Not like she wasn't like that always, but it seemed different to Aubrey tonight, almost surreal; maybe because Beca didn't look like Beca, but a softer version of her.
They got stuck in a conversation during the intermission with the people sitting next to them. They gushed about how nice it was that two friends could come and see the play together. When Aubrey slid her arm through Beca's and responded, "Oh no, this is a date," Beca turned to her with furrowed brows to which Aubrey just smiled and gave a tiny nod that most people would have missed.
Beca turned back to find the older couple looking a little uncomfortable. The wife was the first to speak, "A date?"
Beca nodded, "Yes ma'am, a date. But we don't normally admit that to people because we're usually judged poorly because of it. But my girlfriend obviously thinks that you two aren't like that."
The husband huffed, "Well your girlfriend thought wrong."
Beca gave him a sweet smile, "Oh, I'm sorry she misjudged. Our apologies then and we hope you enjoy the second act." With that she turned her back to the two and looked at Aubrey with a glint of mischief in her eyes while she could see the anger brewing in the blonde's eyes. She slowly leaned forward and brushed her lips chastely over Aubrey's cheek, "It's ok sweetie, let's just enjoy the show." Aubrey looked at Beca with a confused look until Beca ran her fingers lightly over her cheek, giving the blonde another nod, "Really, it's alright."
The two girls put the conversation during intermission behind them and really did enjoy the second act. As they walked through downtown Atlanta after the show Aubrey turned to Beca, "Why didn't you get mad at those two during intermission? I expected you to tear into them."
Beca sighed as she stopped and turned to her date, "What would that have accomplished other than ruining our evening? This wasn't about my feelings or their feelings, this was about making sure you had the perfect evening Aubrey."
Aubrey looked at her with something approaching awe, "You did all of that for me?"
Beca smiled at her, "Aubrey I told you earlier, I'd do just about anything for you."
Aubrey turned and started walking, swinging their linked hands between them, "Well then, I want my badass DJ back. This was nice and everything, but it isn't us, it isn't you. I love you just the way you are Mitchell and this was just too weird."
Aubrey didn't notice Beca had stopped until she was stopped abruptly when their arms had reached their limits. She turned to look at the brunette in confusion seeing the obvious shock on the smaller girl's face, "Beca, what is it?"
Beca shook her head slightly, "What did you just say?"
Aubrey looked just as confused as Beca and then thought back to what she had said. Her mouth suddenly formed an 'O' as her free hand came up to cover it. She started stammering, "Beca, I…Beca…Ummm.."
Beca cut her off, "What did you just say?"
Aubrey looked at the ground, repeating it softly, "I love you just the way you are."
Beca was suddenly right in front of her, her hand on her cheek forcing Aubrey to look at her. Beca stared into Aubrey's eyes as she asked, "Do you mean that?"
Beca saw only raw emotion in Aubrey's eyes as she whispered, "Yes. Yes I love you Beca."
Then Aubrey found her lips pressed against Beca's. Beca's tongue teasing along her lips before tangling with her own. When Beca finally pulled back, panting slightly, she looked into Aubrey's eyes again, "Thank God, because I love you so much Aubrey."
Beca broke the kiss only when she realized that Aubrey was crying, tasting the salt from her tears as they fell down her cheeks. She reached up and brushed the tears off of Aubrey's cheeks with her thumbs, concern lacing her voice, "Is everything ok?"
Aubrey's face lit up when she smiled and nodded, "It's perfect."
The two girls started walking towards their car again when Aubrey bumped Beca with her hip, speaking without looking at the brunette, "Remember what I whispered to you earlier?"
Beca blushed, "Yah."
Aubrey smirked, "That's so happening when we get back to the room." Beca couldn't help the smile that eased its way onto her face.
