Author's Note: Ok I've only gotten one prompt, so I'm just going to use the Bechloe Week prompts as the prompt I was given is one of them, though I'm still open to submitted prompts. Fair warning, there's a certain degree of angst here. And hey, it's still Sunday in Alaska and Hawaii technically
"Oh my god Bree I have the best news!" Chloe said as she returned to the apartment she shared with the blonde. She wasn't at all surprised to find Aubrey studying sheet music, no doubt of one of the songs from their set. "So, I was fooling around with Tom..."
"I really wish you wouldn't do that." Aubrey interrupted, nearly under her breath but loud enough Chloe could hear.
"Can we not do that now, please?" Chloe asked. This is good news, and I want to share it with you without getting into things."
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said anything. Finish your story." Aubrey apologized, looking up at Chloe.
"Right, so, we were in the showers in Baker Hall, and suddenly I hear this girl with a fantastic voice singing Titanium." Chloe continued her story. "You know what that song does to me, and this voice was amazing, so I just had to find out who it belonged to, so I followed it to its source. Remember that cute girl you said was 'too alternative'?"
"The one who said she didn't sing?" Aubrey asked, raising an eyebrow as she remembered the interaction. "I really don't think she's Bella material."
"Yes, her." Chloe confirmed. "I think I convinced her to come to auditions. Bree, Sweetie, you have to hear her voice. We need her." she added, sitting on the couch close to Aubrey. She kissed the blonde's cheek and put a hand on her thigh "Will you give her a chance, for me?"
"Please don't do that, especially after you've been with HIM." Aubrey emphasizes as she stands up and moves away from Chloe.
"We just made out, we didn't...he didn't...things didn't get that far." Chloe stands but gives Aubrey some space. "I wouldn't even need him if we'd finally define what we are. You know how I feel about you Aubrey, but you won't acknowledge it. You know you're gay, I know you're gay, I'm pretty sure even your PARENTS know you're gay, but you won't admit it. You just keep expecting to fuck me whenever you want, and I let you because I love you and I know deep down you love me, you just won't say it. I don't even know if I can keep doing this. I just wish I knew why you won't come out."
"I'm taking a shower." Aubrey declares. She takes off the shirt she was wearing and moves towards the bathroom. "What you do is your choice."
Chloe takes off her shirt and follows after.
"I think practice went pretty well today. " Stacie said as she approaches Aubrey after Bella practice. "I really feel like I'm getting a grasp of the routine."
"You could say that." Aubrey replies, though she's watching as Beca heads towards Chloe across the room. Stacie notices and notes how Aubrey's demeanor sours.
"Beca's really got something for Chloe doesn't she? Can't say that I blame her." Stacie says as she watches them talking. She can tell Chloe's acutely aware of Aubrey watching them and picks up on the vibe between them. "Don't worry, all you have to do is say the word and Chloe is yours."
"Chloe and I are just friends, she's free to do whatever she wants." Aubrey says, finally turning her attention fully to Stacie.
"And why is that?" Stacie asks, studying Aubrey's face. "Like, I get it, you're in the closet for whatever reason, I don't understand why. And don't deny it, I know you've been checking me out, though I get the feeling if I were to invite you to my room you'd say no, because I'm not her. But if you don't do something, you're going to lose her, because Beca clearly doesn't care who knows that she's gay and isn't afraid to go after what she wants."
"I'll see you at practice tomorrow. Just remember, no Trebles." Aubrey says before she crosses the room to where Beca and Chloe are. "Hey Chlo let's head back to the apartment, I've got some things I want to show you."
"That was really amazing Bree." Chloe says as the two of them cuddle in Aubrey's bed later that night. "I love how do you that thing with your tongue."
"I know you do. I like doing it for you." Aubrey says, turning so she's facing Chloe. "You're right you know. You and Stacie and everyone else. I...I am...I'm gay Chlo." she stammers before burying her face in Chloe's neck.
"Bree, sweetie, I'm so happy to finally hear you say that." Chloe encourages. "You've got nothing to be afraid of, you're safe here with me."
"I know I am." Aubrey agrees. "I've just been...scared. It's just been easier to have our friends with benefits situation because I haven't been ready to come out, I don't even know that I am now. But I've never...there was never anyone to worry about before Beca. No matter what you did, you'd eventually end up back here. I just, you deserve someone who isn't hiding in the closet."
"Baby, I don't care if you're in the closet or not. If you're not ready to come out, this can just stay between us." Chloe says before kissing Aubrey. "So, we're not just friends with benefits any more, we're actually girlfriends, even if we're the only two that know?"
"We're the only two that know now. I'll come out soon enough, I promise." Aubrey said, kissing Chloe again.
