Prompt: "I won't be participating."


Chloe and Aubrey blinked silently at each other as Beca crossed her arms stubbornly and shook her head. "I won't be participating."

"But..." Aubrey began.

"It's Christmas!" Chloe finished.

"It's Christmas... in Atlanta!" Beca exclaimed. "It's going to be freezing and I hate being cold!"

"But..." Aubrey tried again, but Chloe put a hand on her arm and winked. Then she got up and moved slowly toward her girlfriend, hands in her back pockets as she offered a sweet smile.

"But... don't you want to ride in a horse-drawn carriage with your best friends...?" She ran a fingertip slowly down the brunette's arm, from her shoulder all the way to her hand where she caressed gently. "With me?"

Beca swallowed. "It'll be snowing, Chlo. I hate the snow."

The redhead turned on The Eyes. "I love snow. It's magical. I was thinking we could snuggle under a blanket, maybe drink a little spiked hot chocolate?"

Beca's arms loosened, and she reached out to take her girlfriend's hand. "Dude, don't do the sad eyes thing," she murmured.

Chloe pouted harder and moved behind the brunette to wrap her arms around her waist, resting her chin on her shoulder and rocking them slowly. Beca's hands dropped to cover her girlfriend's and she leaned back into her. "You don't want to sing Christmas carols with us? And kiss me when no one's looking?" Chloe asked.

Aubrey leaned back in her chair, arms crossed and a smirk on her face.

"I do like carols and kissing," Beca admitted.

"And when we get home, to warm up, we can make love under the Christmas tree in my room. I really want to..." Chloe whispered something into Beca's ear that made her blush and swallow hard.

"Wh... what time did you say it was at?" the brunette asked softly.

"Seven," Chloe replied with a smile.

"I'll be there," Beca replied, eyes closed as she enjoyed her girlfriend's warmth.

Aubrey shook her head and made an impressed face. Chloe just winked back.
