Archery wasn't that bad, if your name was Chloe Beale and you hit every target in the red spot. It wouldn't have been that bad if Beca hadn't been so clumsy and if her hands hadn't been full of thumbs at the same time. She had managed to miss every target, her arrow either falling short many feet or simply missing the target and ending up in the grass. She even dropped her bow and arrows, which scattered on the floor. She was about to give up when the monitor came up to her and showed her how to properly hold the bow and place the arrow. She still missed the target, but at least she was making some progress.
The rest of their went by, and they had the afternoon for themselves. Chloe decided she was giving her a guided tour of the whole camp after lunch and they came back just on time for supper. Beca was starving, her legs were killing her and she had been bitten by at least a hundred mosquitoes on their walk. Definitely not she had expected for a first day. Dinner was like heaven in her mouth; mashed potatoes with ham and green peas. She didn't even care to make a comment.
They sat with other girls of their age range around a campfire, singing songs Beca surprised herself knowing, but she was so tired she could barely hold her head.
"Come here." Chloe told her, one of her arm opened, inviting her under the blanket she had wrapped around her shoulders.
Beca realized she was shivering and wiggled on the bench to make her way closer to the ginger. She let Chloe wrap her up and friction her back, instinctively resting her head on the other girl's shoulder. Her eyelids drooped despite her attempts at keeping her eyes open, and she quickly fell asleep on Chloe's shoulder, nuzzling closer as she did so. Chloe stiffened a little when she felt Beca snuggle close, but a smile crept up her lips and Aubrey shook her head beside her.
"You're so obvious." She whispered to her friend, who smiled even wider.
"She's just so adorable, I can't help myself." Chloe replied.
"You're not even sure if she likes you like that." Aubrey replied, cautiously studying Beca's sleeping features.
"I'm not saying I'm in love with her, Bre, I'm saying I like her. She's pretty and I know she's not that independent and not-caring person she pretends to be." Chloe said, lifting her unoccupied shoulder.
"And how would you know that?" the blonde's eyebrows knitted in the middle of her forehead, a small smile curling up her lips.
"I just know." She replied, and they went back to chatting until the monitors called it a night.
She shook Beca softly, but the girl was sound asleep, and she only grunted, pouting in her sleep, before throwing an arm around Chloe's waist and holding on tightly. It made her giggle, and she shook her harder, uncovering her shoulders in hopes this would wake her up.
"No, no, cold." She mumbled, her hand searching for the blanket but only grabbing different parts of Chloe; her knee, her thight, her stomach and..one of her breast. Instantly, Beca sat straight and at least two feet away from Chloe, as red as the blanket the redhead was holding.
"Oh my God! I am so so sorry, Chloe! I never intended… I didn't.. Fuck! I'm sorry!" she babbled, suddenly very awake.
Chloe had watch her search for the blanket with a smirk, rising her eyebrows as the girl made her way up, feeling her stomach knot and something make a flip inside of her. Her eyes widened when Beca gave her breast a good squeeze, but she couldn't help the smirk painted on her face.
"It's okay, don't sweat it. I was trying to wake you up. We're going to bed." She said, getting up. "I guess that's one way to wake up." She joked, winking at Beca whose face reddened even more.
"You are evil." Beca stated, following the ginger after rolling her eyes.
"I'm not the one grabbing people's boobs in my sleep." Chloe shot back, turning to stuck her tongue out.
Beca's mouth hung open and she closed it when she heard the other girl's giggle. They walked in the dorm who was dark and probably already asleep. Beca climbed in her bed while Chloe was still giggling softly.
"Stop it. You just like to make fun of me." Beca growled, even though she wasn't really mad at Chloe.
"That's because you're an easy target." Chloe replied. "Good night, Beca."
"G'night" she mumbled, already falling back asleep.
Chloe fell asleep listening to Beca's soft and steady breathing, and she was in the middle of a dream when she was awaken. Listening carefully, she realized it was coming from over her head. Faint music and a gloomy light was casting shadows around her. She quietly got on her knees at the head of her bed and lifted herself up to Beca's. She found the girl awake too, her headphones propped on, swiftly moving her hands on the finger pad, nodding her head to the beat. Chloe watched her mix, detailing the complexity of her concentrated face with a kind smile.
Eventually, her arms started to burn and she went back on her bed, but couldn't sleep anymore. Curiosity was consuming her, and she just needed to know. Slowly, she climbed the ladder leading to Beca's bed, hoping the girl wouldn't hear her before she was upstairs.
"What are you doing?" Beca hissed, quickly snapping her laptop shut and taking off her headphones.
"I just wanted to see what you were doing." Chloe said with an apologetic smile. "I can't go back to sleep."
"Why?" Beca asked, puzzled.
"I don't know. Can I hang out up here with you a bit?" she asked, and her tone was almost pleading.
"Yeah, sure. Sorry for being rude, you just scared me." She offered with a half-smile.
"It's okay, don't worry." Chloe crept up to Beca on all fours, looking like a feline ready to jump on her, which made Beca look away to hide her blushing cheeks (her mind kept going to places it wasn't supposed to go whenever she was around Chloe and they had met the day before, what was wrong with her?) "So, what were you doing?" Chloe's voice made Beca's head snap back into reality.
"Uh.. nothing." She lied, pushing her laptop aside.
"Come on, you can tell me. Besides, I already know." Chloe smiled proudly.
"What? You spied on me?" Beca choked out, eyes wide with shock.
"Well, not spying… observing. I heard music and saw light coming from your bed, I was wondering what was happening." She specified, still oblivious to Beca's stunned look.
"So.. spying." The brunette repeated.
"Okay, okay, I might've spied on you a little bit!" Chloe admitted before giggling. "So, are you going to show me or will I have to snatch it from you?"
"You wouldn't dare." Beca scowled at her, pushing her laptop even farer away from Chloe, under her pillow.
"Don't tempt me." The ginger shot back, smiling like a predator. (A very hot predator. The thought came before she could stop it and she wanted to slap herself.)
"Why do you want to know so badly anyways?" Beca sighed, already taking back her computer on her knees.
"Because I'm a curious person." Chloe simply said, excitedly putting Beca's headphones on her head and waiting for her to press play.
She listened to a couple of songs before taking them off and smiling broadly at Beca. The brunette put her laptop away and looked at her puzzled.
"So, what do you think?" she finally asked, nervous for her comment.
"That was magical! Did you make these?" her tone was hushed but she was impressed and Beca beamed with pride.
"Yeah, I've been mixing as a hobby for a while now."
"Wow, you've got a lot of talent, Beca!" Chloe complimented her, still smiling.
"Thanks." She chuckled nervously.
Nobody had heard her mixes before, certainly not a stranger like Chloe, but still, here they were, on her bed, listening to more of her mixes. They eventually fell asleep, but Chloe never bothered to go back in her bed. She simple took Beca's hand and tugged at it until the half asleep brunette lied down with her. She wrapped an arm around her waist, spooning with her and nudging close until she was practically melted into Beca's body.
"Are you tried to get inside of me, Chloe or what?" Beca half-complained, half-joked with her eyes closed, not as asleep as Chloe thought.
"That would be inappropriate of me." Chloe deadpanned, feeling Beca's body instantly stiffened on hers. "I'm joking, relax. I was trying to get comfy."
"Yeah right, like you didn't plan this whole thing so you would have a cuddle buddy." Beca mumbled, her body letting go of all tensions as she fell back asleep while it was Chloe's turn to blush.
"Hey.." she gently nudged Beca on the shoulder, earning herself a grunt from the fast asleep teenager. "Beca… one last question before I let you go back to dreaming of me."
"Whachawant?" she puffed out in a sleepy breathe.
"Why weren't you asleep?" she shot, holding her breath in hopes sleepy-Beca would answer.
"G'night, Chloe." Was all she got, though, before Beca went back to her peaceful dreams (not of Chloe, unfortunately.)
