PROMPT: The bellas are having a picnic on the quad suddenly few girls arrive who are beca's groupies as they love her dj rebel persona. One of them is very persistent who won't take no for an answer. Aubrey gets jealous seeing this and beca to fend off the girls says she has a girlfriend and blindly reaches behind her to grab any bella's Hand to be her pretend girlfriend which happens to be Aubrey and they pretend to Date and start dating in reality or something like that.
"I still don't understand why people want to eat outside, theirs ants everywhere, I'm cold, the wind keeps blowing my stuff away and the ground isn't comfortable" Beca whines as she sets her laptop down on the blanket they had laid out on the grassy area of the quad.
"Stop moaning Becs, this will be fun" Chloe assured her as she sat down.
"Yeah, maybe if you went outside more you would be so pale" Aubrey teased, earning chuckles front the Bella's and a huff from Beca. "Don't pout" Aubrey says walking past the brunette and sitting next to Chloe. She hears an a grumble from behind her as the brunette reluctantly sits down on the blanket.
"Hurry up and make with the grub, aca-bitches" Amy says from her place on the blanket. Aubrey opens the two meticulously neat picnic baskets and hands Amy a Tupperware tub full of sandwiches.
As she hands out food to the Bella's, Beca opens her laptop looking for some music to play. Aubrey taps her on the shoulder handing her her own container causing Amy to gasp.
"Why has Beca got special sandwiches" Amy accused around a mouth full of sandwiches.
Everyone turned to look at Aubrey with annoyingly knowing smiles on their faces as Beca also turned with a raised eyebrow. "Did you try poison me?" She asked semi-seriously looking slightly perturbed.
"No!" Aubrey almost shouts, her cheeks turning a light pink colour. "I put olives in all of them" the blonde explains "and I forgot you hate them so I made a few more" Aubrey decides she hates the Bella's in that moment as Stacie begins to waggle her eyebrows and the rest giggle. "Their was leftover bread! It's not a big deal" she adds on desperately.
Beca nods, smiling gratefully at the blonde. Somehow she failed to notice the scarily similar expressions of glee on the rest of the Bella's faces as she turned back to her laptop.
Aubrey feels a dig in her side from Chloe's elbow and a whispered "Control your toner" in her ear. The light pink of her cheeks deepens to a dark red.
As the Bella's dig into the picnic with Beca's latest mix playing from her laptop, Aubrey noticed a group of girls standing at the entrance to the quad whispering and pointing in their direction.
She narrowed her eyes as they began to make their way over the grass towards them. Several of them shoved a taller blonde towards them. By now all of the Bella's minus Beca, who was currently stuffing her face with a tuna sandwich, had noticed the commotion and were eying the giggling girls.
The blonde approached them her hip swaying exaggeratedly as she unbuttoned the top three buttons of her shirt. She then perched herself on the edge of the blanket without so much as a hello to the Bella's. She then reached out and tapped Beca on the shoulder whilst shamelessly pushing her ample cleavage very close to Beca's face. Aubrey's glare deepened.
Beca looked up from where she was concentrating on not spilling any of her sandwich filling and half choked when she was met with an eyeful of cleavage. The Bella's sniggered as Aubrey thumped Beca on the back, a little harder than was required.
"Hey, DJ" the girl purred, shifting closer to Beca.
"Uh...Hi?" Beca responded moving backwards slightly so that her back was pressed against Aubrey's side. Aubrey could tell Beca had no idea who this girl was.
"Who are you?" Aubrey blurted out, her voice coming out much more aggressively than she intended.
The girl looked over at her with a raised eyebrow as she slowly eyed her up and down. She then smirked looking unimpressed. "I'm Scarlett, Beca's biggest fan" she drawls a hand reaching out to rub Beca's shoulder. The brunette shrinks away uncomfortably, a reddish flush creeping up her neck as the Bella's guffawed loudly.
"That's nice" Beca laughed awkwardly glancing behind her, eyes screaming for help. Aubrey's mouth pressed into a firm line when she noticed the bitches hand fall onto Beca's thigh.
"Yeah, I've been to all your gigs. You look super hot in your headphones" Scarlett informed her whilst pushing her chest forward. Beca spluttered out a small "thanks".
"So, I was thinking maybe you should take me out sometime?" Scarlett said as she suggestively bit her lip in what Aubrey assumed was meant to be a sexy manner but instead made her look constipated.
"Uh... Well the thing is..." Beca trailed off, eyes frantically darting to the Bella's who all shrugged. "I..umm..." she continued desperately "I already have girlfriend. Yes, a girlfriend. Sorry" Beca said with a relieved smile.
"You do?" Scarlett asked sceptically "Well if that's true how come the only people I see you hang out with are..." she gestures dismissively to the Bella's.
"Well-I-uh" Beca stumbled before she reached out behind her and grabbed Aubrey's hand. Although she was shocked, Aubrey didn't pull her hand away. She couldn't help but notice how well Beca's hand fit in hers. "This is my girlfriend" she said triumphantly.
The Bella's stared at Beca in shock. Aubrey stared at Beca in shock. Scarlett glared at Beca and Aubrey.
She turned to Aubrey, her eyes pleading as she mouthed 'play along'.
"Oh really?" Scarlett asked looking thoroughly unconvinced. Beca just nodded warily in reply, gripping Aubrey's hand slightly tighter and nudging her.
Aubrey got the message, jumping in to save Beca. "Yeah. I am, have you got a problem with that?" she spat moving closer to Beca.
"Whatever..." Scarlett rolled her eyes "Call me if you get over...that" she curls her lip as she glances at Aubrey. The Bella's make offended noises on behalf of their captain. Beca's shoulders tense.
"Yeah, I won't be 'getting over' her and even if I did I wouldn't call you" Beca says angrily, moving forwards only to be pulled back by Aubrey's hand which was still attached to hers.
Scarlett scoffs, crossing her arms as she stood and marched back over to her friends. One of them asked her something but she just pushed through the group and stormed away from the quad angrily.
The Bella's who had all been staring after her slowly turned to look at Beca, Aubrey included.
"Haha, that was weird" she laughed awkwardly as she let go of Aubrey's hand. There was a long moment of silence.
Aubrey decided she couldn't take anymore and stood. "I have to go" she said abruptly, holding back tears as she marched away from the group and back towards her and Chloe's shared apartment.
Beca stared after her with an open mouth before turning her confused gaze to Chloe's. The redhead just shook her head sadly before following Aubrey.
"I don't know what I did wrong. Why has she been avoiding me?" Beca asked Stacie as they sat down in the campus coffee shop a week after the picnic. Beca cringed slightly at the whining edge that her voice had taken on.
Stacie raised an eyebrow at her friend. How could someone be so oblivious.
"I think what happened at the picnic made her uncomfortable" Stacie broached whilst studying the brunettes face.
She watched as Beca's face seemed to fall and her shoulders dropped. "Didn't know the idea of us together was such a bad thing" Beca muttered despondently, her eyes moving to focus on her hands as she twisted a piece of tissue paper.
Stacie sighed, Beca had reluctantly informed her of her crush on the taller blonde when Stacie had found a folder full of mixes on her laptop labelled 'Aubrey'.
"Maybe you should just tell her how you feel" Stacie said, trying and failing to hold back a snort at the face Beca makes at the word 'feel'.
"What's the point. Even if I could track her down, it's pretty obvious how she..." Beca scrunched her face up "feels". Beca sighs "She'd probably scream at me and kick me out of the Bella's after puking in disgust". Beca says as she begins to tear the tissue paper into tiny pieces.
"Well practises start tomorrow so you're going to have to figure it out" Stacie informs her frankly. She was getting tired of talking about the whole situation, for the past week all her best friend had talked about was the blonde and she was beginning to get sick of it.
Beca slumped in her seat as she finished tearing the tissue up, eyes now focused on the table. She shrugged in reply to Stacie's questioning eyebrow. "I'll probably just ignore the situation and hope things go back to normal . She'll marry some guy and I'll buy a cat and end up alone".
"You're allergic to cats" Stacie replied sarcastically earning a chuckle from Beca. Stacie then watched as Beca checked the time and stood.
"Sorry Stace, I have to be at the Radio Station soon" Stacie waved her off. Stacie waited till Beca had disappeared from view before pulling out her phone.
Stacie (14:25) : Hey Chloe, I have a plan for the Beca-Aubrey situation. Text me.
Aubrey snapped for the third time that practise. She was upset and had most definitely been taking her frustration out on the girls. She was pretty sure she had accidentally made Jessica (or Ashley) cry. She would make it up to her later.
The cause for her stress was once again a certain tiny DJ. Who hadn't shown up for practise. She wasn't sure weather to be angry or relieved. She was, after all, the one that had been ignoring Beca's texts and avoiding certain areas she knew the girl frequented. But commitment to the Bella's was a priority so she had suck it up, something Beca didn't have the balls to do apparently.
The incident at the picnic had upset her. Sure, she had enjoyed it when Beca held her hand and defended her to that bitch Scarlett Baldwin. She may or may not have Facebook stalked her. Turns out she was obsessed with cats, ha. Beca was allergic.
But afterwards when the brunette had snatched her hand away so fast, Aubrey had been hurt. Those few moments of pretending we're nice.
But that wasn't the point. The point was that despite this she still came to practise even though her feelings were the ones hurt, not Beca's.
When Stacie was asked where Beca was as they were best friends, the brunette had avoided the question. Aubrey had noticed her and Chloe whispering in the corner.
Aubrey was observing the Bella's run laps around the auditorium with crossed arms when she heard Chloe call her name from inside a store cupboard where they kept their audio equipment.
"Keep running" she barked before marching over to the cupboard and yanking the door open.
"Wha-" she began as she searched for Chloe in the pitch black room but she was cut off by two pairs of hands shoving her forwards and the door locking behind her.
"Sorry Bree, it was getting out of hand" she heard Chloe's muffled voice from the other side of the door.
"You'll be let out once you've talked thing over, we'll be back in an hour" She heard Stacie's voice add.
"Open this door right now or you'll be running laps for the rest of the year!" she yelled banging on the door only to be met with silence
Aubrey sighed, resting her back on the wall as she slowly slid down so she was sitting on the floor.
"Uh... Hello?" A voice called out from her left, startling Aubrey causing her to fling her fist out in the general direction on the stranger. She felt her fist connect with what felt like a nose. "Oww, fuck" she heard the voice cry out.
"Beca?" she asked hesitantly. "Yes, Jesus" she heard Beca's voice answer, the sound slight muffled.
"What are you doing here?" she asked angrily. "Same thing as you, genius" she heard Beca answer sarcastically. Aubrey scoffed in reply before reaching in her pocket and pulling out her phone. Switching in the torch she turned it to her left where she found Beca sitting next to her with what looked like one of the Bella initiation sacks on her head.
Pulling it off she revealed Beca's head, her hair slightly ruffled as her eyes squinted to adjust to the light. A small trail of blood leaking out of her nose.
"Hey" Beca said as she reached up to tentatively touch her nose. "You have a mean right-hook" she joked.
"Sorry" Aubrey apologised, feeling guilty as she saw the pain she had caused Beca. "Did Chloe put you in here too?" she asked.
Beca shook her head. "Stacie" she answered as they lapsed into an uneasy silence. Both avoiding eye contact. "So... You've been avoiding me" Beca starts.
" Can you really blame me?" Aubrey crossed her arms, shifting away from Beca.
"Look. I get it. I shouldn't have grabbed your hand at the picnic but that's really no reason to ignore me" Beca rambled "I thought we were friends now and maybe more but it's obvious that you don't feel that way so maybe I should just quit-" Beca's speech was cut off by Aubrey.
"Wait! You thought we were more?" Aubrey cut in desperately. Beca's dimly lit face cringed as she hesitantly nodded. "I don't know, I guess I thought you were flirting and-"
Her words are cutoff by Aubrey pulling her in for a bruising kiss. Beca's eyes widen in shock before falling shut as Aubrey's lips move against hers. Aubrey pulls back too soon for Beca causing her to let out a small whine.
"I was flirting" Aubrey tells her causing Beca to grin in the low light.
"Well in that case. Aubrey Posen will you be my girlfriend?" she asks confidently although Aubrey can hear the nervousness in her voice.
"Hmm... I don't know..." Aubrey trails of teasingly, nudging Beca in the ribs to show she's joking.
"Oh. Well in that case I think I'll be calling Scarlett" Beca snarks back causing Aubrey to snort.
"Ha. As if. You would never get along with Smoky" Aubrey scoffs. "Who's smoky" Beca asks confusedly.
"Her cat" Aubrey says in a voice that screams 'duh'.
"How do you-" Beca begins before she is pulled in for another kiss. "Never mind" Beca mumbled against her lips.
That's how the Bella's found them an hour later. Lip locked on the floor of the cupboard.
Sorry about the delay, this one took me a while to write. I'll be starting year 13 on Tuesday so updates might be slowing down :)
P.S Does anyone else lowkey ship Beca x Emily?
