Prompt (Guest) : Could you do one where Chloe is definitely attracted to Beca but Beca is oblivious to that and sometimes when Beca does certain things like touch Chloe in a 'friendly' way or something it makes Chloe frustrated. So like Beca is unknowingly teasing Chloe? Maybe at the end Chloe just outright says it and Beca denies it but reveals her feelings for Chloe?
Chloe always knew she was different than a lot of people, she's not oblivious to the fact that she can come off strong sometimes. Especially to those who aren't really used to their personal space being invaded. She knows that most people around her have to get used to this certain trait of her personality, even her best friend was a bit taken back at first. Aubrey had never met a girl who's security and excessive kindness was as in tune as Chloe's.
Chloe doesn't like to distance herself, she hates the feeling of uncomfortable silence and overthinking situations. Her social skills have always been a great advantage in her life. She has made some of her closet friends by helping them open up and making them feel comfortable around her.
When a certain sarcastic brunette enters her life though, she knows that getting the girl to open up to her, will be more of a challenge than anything. But as the years pass with the other Bella, she doesn't only just realize that she's fallen for the girl, but that she's been able to change her a bit as well. She slowly starts to notice the way Beca won't pull away from Chloe's touches anymore, or the way that Beca would actually squeeze her back during the unexpected hugs Chloe would enforce. She starts to notice how Beca would lean into the kisses Chloe would place on her cheeks, or the way that she would smile when Chloe pushes away the extra strands of hair on her face.
What Chloe really didn't expect though, was when Beca would begin to initiate the contact herself.
Like the first time Beca played with Chloe's fingers during Bella's movie night, or the first time Beca placed her arm over Chloe's shoulder as they walked to their classes. Or the first time when Beca gave her a small hug from behind when Chloe was cooking breakfast in the morning, or even when Beca slipped into Chloe's bed at night, pressing herself into Chloe's back and holding her.
Chloe knows that she's special to Beca, because Beca would give anybody else a death glare if they tried to even come close to touching her. She would never touch any of the other Bella's like she does with Chloe, which actually makes Chloe's heart swell every time she receives the friendly touches. She loves knowing that Beca is most comfortable with her and no one else.
Lately though, Chloe has been having more of a difficult time with Beca's willingness to be comfortable with her in a physical way. Chloe soon realized that she might like Beca more than just a friend during the middle of Beca's first year. Chloe felt a bit ashamed at first, she had never really fallen for one of her closest friends before.
Their last year together at Barden though, Chloe feels like she's about to go insane from Beca's actions around her. Chloe thought she could handle the simple touches, because she was normally very used to connecting to people on a physical level herself. When it came to Beca though, it felt like Chloe would put herself in a mental institute trying to figure out if Beca had actually wanted her back or not.
The way Beca would smile at her, how she was the only one who would laugh at Chloe's stupid jokes, or the way Beca would just open up to her without Chloe even asking for it anymore. Chloe was absolutely head over heels for the young DJ, and she can't help the feelings she gets when she's around her.
The World's were coming up quickly and she could feel Beca slipping away already, knowing she was going to die inside the day Beca leaves for L.A. She knows she has to do something quick, but every time she thought she saw a perfect opportunity to approach Beca about her own feelings, she would cower away into her own insecurities. She doesn't know how she would react if Beca rejected her.
The more Beca touches her though, or just looks at her with those bright eyes, Chloe knows she's bound to burst.
Everyone was beginning to slow down, hydrating after repeating the routine they've been working on for weeks. Some of the girl's already quickly packing up their stuff to head home. The rehearsal room empties quickly, leaving the two captains alone to clean up.
Chloe leans over, putting away her towel into her duffle bag, not expecting what happens next in the silent practice room. Chloe is more than shocked when Beca gives her a playful slap on the butt. Beca's words ringing out in Chloe's ears, "You really hit those notes today Chlo."
Chloe's eyes widen almost immediately, turning around quickly to see Beca picking up her own water bottle with a small smile on her face, sending the redhead a wink.
"Th-thanks." Chloe gulps, blushing vigorously as she watches the younger girl begin to pack up. She looks around, noticing that the last few Bella's have already left.
Beca stands up straight, adjusting the strap of her bag on her shoulder. She smile softly, staring at her co-captain. She chuckles before stepping closer and lifting her hand to Chloe's face, "You have a little fluff in your hair."
Chloe freezes again as the girl picks at her hair, her body only a mere few inches away from her own now. Beca lifts up her other hand up, a look of concentration on her face, "Jesus Chlo, how'd you get this thing stuck in there?" Beca smiles as she then pulls it out, holding up the little ball of white fluff in between them. She then flicks it to the ground, looking back up to Chloe's stiff state.
Beca lifts her hand again, smoothing out the hair she just messed up, pushing lost strands back behind her ear. Chloe gazes at the girl in front of her, finding herself staring at the girl's lips a little longer than necessary. Beca's hand grazes over Chloe's cheek as she slowly brings it away from her face.
"You okay Chloe?" Beca wonders, seeing as the girl hasn't said anything.
"No." Chloe responds truthfully, shaking her head as she stares at the girl in front of her.
"What's wrong?" Beca questions, looking suddenly worried. Chloe opens her mouth, taking a moment to decide if she really should continue to speak. Beca raises an eyebrow, confused by Chloe's shy behavior.
"Are you still stressing about World's? Because Chlo, I think we're going to kill it. Everybody's really rocking the routine, Aubrey and the other Bella's are all set. We're going to do great." Beca tries to reassure the girl, reaching out and rubbing her hand on Chloe's arm in a comforting gesture.
"No, it's not that." Chloe shakes her head, feeling very flustered.
"What is it then?" Beca asks, never having seen the girl like this before.
Chloe looks at Beca's eyes again, seeing her worry in them. Chloe gulps, feeling like she's on the verge of crying. She takes a small step forward before immediately stepping back again. "I have to go." She sighs.
Chloe quickly grabs her bag from the ground, walking quickly away from Beca. Beca scrunches her eyebrows, wondering what could possibly be wrong with her best friend.
Chloe doesn't go to the Bella house first, knowing that's where Beca will be. She gets in her car, driving around for an hour or so. She tries to shake away the feelings that are building up inside of her, trying to just forget how Beca's eyes gazed back at hers. Chloe digs her teeth into her lower lip a lot, breaking the skin in anxiousness. She just doesn't know how to forget Beca.
Chloe returns home later, residing to her room after she's showered. She keeps the door closed, which is something that isn't like her. She's thankful that the rest of the Bella's know to leave her alone though when her door is shut.
She listens to a lot of music, keeping the volume high so that the sound coming through her earbuds could shut out any thoughts. Chloe eventually falls asleep, happy to not be thinking about Beca for a little while. When she wakes up, she notices that it's already dark outside. She finally leaves her room, walking downstairs to see the other Bella's watching a movie.
Chloe discreetly sits down on the couch, trying to be quiet as she looks around the living room. Most of the Bella's being too captivated by the movie playing on their tv screen to notice her. Tuesday night, always meant movie night with these girls. Just a night to relax a bit, even with classes and World's coming up.
Chloe's eyes look over to Beca who then walks into the room, staring down at her phone as she eats a few of the pretzels in her hand. She then looks up from her phone, smiling as she sees Chloe. Chloe looks away quickly, already feeling the blush rush up her neck. Beca walks around the couch, sitting down right next to the redhead, who tries to act like she's actually paying attention to the movie being played.
"Hey Chlo." Beca smiles, looking over to the silent girl.
"Oh, hey." Chloe looks over, forcing a small smile.
"You okay? I haven't seen you since rehearsals and you seemed…a bit off." Beca questions her, still feeling a weird vibe from her friend.
"Fine. Just had stuff to do." Chloe lies, looking back to the screen making Beca frown. Chloe freezes again when she feels a hand on her thigh.
"Are you sure? You haven't been yourself lately." Beca points out making Chloe look back to her, "Do you want to go talk about it?" Beca motions towards the stairs with a nod of her head. Chloe gulps, now noticing how close Beca's face is to hers. She studies the dark eyes for a moment, feeling her heart jab at itself. Chloe then places her hand overtop of Beca's, giving a the girl a slow nod.
Beca gives a small smile, rising from the couch. She holds onto Chloe's hand as they both leave the rest of the Bella's and the movie, walking up the stairs quickly and going to Chloe's room.
Beca is the one who closes the door behind them, giving her full attention to the nervous redhead. Beca still holds onto her hand as Chloe brings them over to sit on the bed, giving the redhead a comforting squeeze.
Chloe stays silent for a long moment, Beca realizing that she needs to let the girl talk when she's ready. She's never seen her like this, and it scares her if she's being honest. She just wants to see the happy, bubbly Chloe that she's always known and loved.
"I'm just really confused lately." Chloe admits with a small sigh, breaking the silence. She stares at the wall opposite of them, avoiding Beca's eyes.
"About what Chlo?" Beca wonders, hating the way Chloe seems so upset.
"A-About this." Chloe whispers as she raises their intertwined hands, gulping and looking down at the current contact which makes Beca raise an eyebrow. "I don't know what it means and it's driving me absolutely crazy Beca." Chloe continues, her voice raising a bit as her emotions take over.
"I still don't understand what you mean…" Beca admits, feeling confused. Chloe meets her eyes then, already feeling her own start to fill.
"Do you love me?" Chloe's voice cracks, regretting it as soon as it leaves her lips. Beca scrunches her eyebrows, even more confused with the girl.
"Of course Chloe, you know that. We're a family." Beca reassures the girl, thinking she would have already known this. She lets go of Chloe's hand, reaching up and pushing some strands of hair away from Chloe's face. She then wipes at the single tear that rolls down the girl's cheek, giving her a soft smile. Beca then wondering if this is a insecurity problem, which would be very surprising coming from Chloe.
"That's not-" Chloe opens her mouth, then closing it again with a sigh. She stares at Beca, looking at the confused yet loving eyes staring back at her.
"You're really comfortable around me." Chloe points out, ready to just outright say it. "I'm just confused if you like me in a different way than you like the other Bella's. I'm starting to think that there isn't just platonic feelings between us anymore." Chloe motions between them both, watching as Beca finally realizes what Chloe's asking.
"Oh." Beca nods, feeling the immediate butterflies in her stomach.
"I-you just are so comfortable around me and I-I just can't help but think that you do, maybe like me back." Chloe tries a bit flustered, keeping her eyes glued on Beca's. Beca stays silent for a moment, shocked that this moment is happening now. She had been planning to tell Chloe how she felt after World's, feeling almost unprepared and flustered with the situation.
"I um-would you wanna-maybe have dinner w-with me tomorrow?" Beca gulps, immediately surprising the redhead. Beca mentally curses herself out, unable to control herself with the nervousness and shock seeping into her.
"So you do, like me back?" Chloe asks, feeling confused by Beca's sudden question.
"Yeah." Beca nods, her eyes searching for any detail of rejection. "But I don't want a whole dramatic thing right now…Can we pretend that it's not a big deal, even though it is." Beca bites her lip nervously, still trying to process the whole situation.
"Yeah." Chloe nods, thinking that this is Beca's way of trying to make things less awkward.
"Cool." Beca chuckles, shaking her head with a small smile. She then leans in and hugs the redhead.
"Wait." Chloe pulls back, "Are you just asking me, just to be nice?" The redhead sounding suddenly worried.
"No Chloe." Beca shakes her head, not wanting Chloe to think that way. "Trust me, I've wanted this to finally happen for a while now." Beca admits, hoping she doesn't sound lame.
"Oh good." Chloe beams up again, the whole situation a bit awkward. "I've liked you for a long time too."
Beca just smiles in response, she then grabs Chloe's hand again. The two sit in silence, letting their smiles being the only conversation they need.
