For reviewer, HappyDay.
"Could you do one where Chloe climbs up a tree because she is spying on Beca's date. Beca isn't into the date because she keeps thinking of Chloe. As she dumps her date, she starts to walk home and she sees a rock and throws it at the tree that Chloe is in and Chloe starts to fall and Beca sees Chloe fall off the tree"
I edited your prompt slightly as I wrote, but I hope this lives up to what you wanted!
Please read and review!
Beca nearly falls off her bed when her door flies open and Chloe bounces into the room.
She had been staring at her laptop screen for an hour or so and didn't think that anyone was still at the house.
Needless to say, she was rather surprised when her best friend suddenly appeared. Chloe noticed and only laughed.
"Hey Becs, sorry about scaring you."
"Hey Chlo.. It's okay. I think. I need to make sure my heart is still beating." Beca says, jokingly.
Chloe giggles and sits down next to her. "What are you working on?"
"I'm editing a couple tracks for the studio."
"Sounds fun. For the boss?"
"For the boss." She says, nodding.
"That's so cool! I'm so proud of you." Chloe smiles.
"Thanks, Chlo."
"You're welcome! What are you doing tonight?"
"Uh.." Beca hesitates, wondering if she should actually tell Chloe what her plans are or not. "I.. I have a date?"
Chloe is speechless for a few seconds and then clears her throat. "Oh, uh, who with?"
"This girl from Residual Heat.. She asked me to dinner a couple days ago. I think her name is Kate."
"Oh. That's fun. Where are you two going?"
"Not really sure. She's supposed to pick me up at 8."
Chloe picks at her nails, seeming anxious. "Well, I'll stop bothering you so you can get this done before your date.. Have fun tonight."
She's gone before Beca can tell her that she's not bothering her at all.
Beca thinks about how utterly strange that interaction with Chloe was. It was probably the weirdest conversation they'd ever had, and that was saying something.
She closes the lid of her laptop and lays it on her dresser, trying to process what had happened.
Could Chloe have feelings for her?
Beca had always hoped that she did, but she couldn't decide if Chloe was only being friendly or if she meant something more.
Either way, she had promised to go to dinner with Kate, and she couldn't ditch her. So, she stands up and starts getting ready.
Kate arrives at 7:59. Beca thinks this is very Aubrey-like. Maybe she ought to be taking the blonde out instead of Beca.
She gets in the car anyway, though, and soon enough they end up at a small cafe right on the edge of campus.
Kate asks for an outdoor table, much to Beca's discomfort. It's pretty out on the patio, but she would much rather prefer to sit inside.
Kate talks and talks about things that Beca does not particularly care about, and eventually she tunes her out. If she nods every so often, Kate just continues talking and talking without noticing that she isn't really listening.
Her mind drifts to Chloe instead.
Weirdly enough, when Chloe rambles on this way, Beca finds herself clinging to every word. She figures that this is because it's Chloe speaking.
She starts paying attention again when the food arrives. She hasn't gotten to say more than a few words because Kate would not shut up for five seconds.
Eventually, they finish their food and Kate pays the bill.
"Do you want to go get coffee or something?"
"Uh, I think I'll head back home, actually. I've got a lot of work to get done before tomorrow morning."
"Oh I totally understand! When I started working at Res-"
Beca cuts her off with a soft smile. "Yeah, you told me.. Thanks for taking me out tonight. I'm going to take off now, if you don't mind. I'll burn off some calories by walking."
"Are you sure? I can give you a ride back."
"I'm fine, really. It'll help inspire me."
"Okay, well, maybe we can do this again."
"Uh.. Yeah, maybe.." Beca says, standing up. "Thanks again."
"Yeah." Kate says. "See you tomorrow, I guess."
"See you then."
Beca leaves the cafe quickly, glad to escape. She turns down a path right by the edge of the cafe's patio. As she walks, she kicks a fairly large rock down the concrete pathway.
It bounces and hits a tree nearby. Beca sighs and walks over to retrieve it, but hears a sound coming from above her.
She looks up, confused, and becomes even more confused when she sees a familiar redhead sitting on a branch looking like she'd been caught with her hand in a cookie jar.
"Uh... Chloe?"
"Hi, there."
"What're you doing in a tree?"
"Just... Hanging out."
Beca's eyebrows raise in amusement. "Why exactly?"
"Uh, well, it's really nice out, so I decided, why not?"
Beca laughs. "Come down here, you dork."
Chloe smiles guiltily and turns around to crawl down the trunk of the tree carefully. Beca helps her so she doesn't slip.
"So, how did your date with Kate go?" Chloe asks, trying to be nonchalant.
"I dunno, you tell me." Beca says, a hint of a smile playing on her lips.
She feigns surprise. "How would I know? I was just.. in a tree.. minding my own business.."
"Right. Well, since you didn't see any of it or anything, not too well."
"Oh, really?"
"Really."
"Are you upset?"
"No." She laughs. "I don't like her. She's too.. talkative."
"You don't like talkative people?"
"Only one."
Chloe raises an eyebrow. "Hmm."
"Hmm." Beca replies.
She casually reaches for Chloe's hand, intertwining their fingers as they walk toward the Bella House together.
"So, what were you wanting to do tonight?"
"I was planning to watch a movie with you but since you were busy I went on a walk."
"And then decided to sit in a tree." Beca says, grinning.
"Right. Normal things."
"Totes normal."
"Wanna watch a movie?"
"Normally no, but because you will be there, yes, I would love to."
Chloe blushes, and hopes that Beca doesn't notice it in the dark. Or, well, maybe she does hope that Beca will notice. She's not really sure. All she knows is that she doesn't want Beca to let go of her hand any time soon.
She doesn't.
