A/N:
I know it's crazy - this is the second story I have managed to come back to after years with an objective to end it. Sure my collaborator and I have not spoken for years (if you somehow find this hope you're good!)
Why am I finishing it? because I've been reading stories and when they're not finished my heart just - ugh.
Originally this was Rated T, changed it up to M because I'm going to hell anyways. Might as well give you guys something hotter.
The morning at the Bella house was somewhat energetic. Chloe was standing over the stove making eggs, while Cathy was setting up the table and Aubrey was juicing some fruits and vegetables for the girls to 'cleanse'.
After years of living together they got used to this morning routine and per Aubrey's Dad - starting the day right is the only way to have a day. Or something equally righteous but with some military connotations.
"Morning Becs," Cathy smiled at her younger sister from where she sat with her fellow Bellas having breakfast. Beca walked over, the back of her hand barely wiping the sleep from her eyes as she joined them, still in PJ's and half asleep from the looks of it.
"Of course you're all morning people," Beca grumbled as she grabbed for a bowl and some cereal.
"We are healthy people," Aubrey insinuated and placed a green concoction in front of Beca.
Beca blinked twice, making sure that Aubrey was actually offering her something and that everyone else was indeed drinking that same green sludge looking drink. She brought it up to her nose and took a quick sniff before setting it down. "Yeah … I'm not drinking that"
"Beca!" Her older sister frowned as she called her sister's name sternly. "Don't be rude," Cathy had few limits to Beca's behaviour. She didn't comment most of the time when Beca behaved edgy amongst people her own age, but Aubrey had kindly offered her a freshly made drink and her sister needed to be reminded not to act so standoffish when it comes to accepting hospitality graciously.
Regardless, Cathy also knew being tough didn't work well with Beca, and she didn't like holding onto her stern persona. It was an easy enough deep breathe and she was back to her happy easy going self. "Just try it, Aubrey actually makes really tasty smoothies," she defended.
Aubrey didn't say anything. She would usually but there's a reason Cathy was captain, and it's because she knew when to be tough and when to back down. She admired that about her. She wouldn't say it, especially not with Cathy's sister.
Beca felt a little guilty at her earlier response. So without any back talk she took a sip and smiled, mumbling a thank you somewhere there before getting back to her cereal.
Chloe watched the interaction intently. She noticed how Beca refused to make eye contact after the "mini" reprimanding Cathy had inflicted. She noticed how her whole body spoke volumes of her feelings, from loose comfort to tense and reserved. She watched at how Beca's focus was entirely her bowl of cereal, avoiding anymore conflict. That was until she looked up and spotted Chloe staring.
Chloe didn't turn away at being caught. She smiled happily as she finished eating her eggs, eyes not breaking contact with Beca at all.
"We should start going," Aubrey was the first to finish and get up. "We need to get there early to grab good seats in the auditorium."
"I'll catch up," Chloe explained. "I want to make sure to lock up after Beca," she smirked still watching the brunette intently.
Cathy watched this interaction and felt a bit uneasy. Chloe was a little too forward and she knew how the redhead can get when she wants something. She originally thought it was a cute idea but now with how Chloe was staring at her baby sister like prey… "I'm sure Beca can lock up for us, we should all be there to hear the auditions. Beca - can I leave my keys with you and we'll see you later at auditions?"
Beca nodded. "Yeah I can see you after auditions," still making a point. She was not expecting the geniune look of defeat Chloe gave her at that. "I'll audition last if that's ok?" She corrected and now Chloe and Cathy beamed.
"Of course, we only have to formally audition to avoid any nepotism, but you're basically in," Cathy confirmed and Chloe added a nod and a wink.
"That and I still need to approve" Aubrey chimed in. "Now let's go ladies!" She clapped her hands and they were up and cleaning after themselves before heading off to leave. Soon enough Beca was left in the house alone. There weren't that many rooms and people absolutely would need to double up on a normal year but with only the three of them they each had a room. Beca was half way getting ready, now brushing her teeth in the bathroom, before feeling a bit nosey. She wasn't usually someone who disregarded personal space, but since Chloe seemed to have made a point of appearing in her shower she justified peeking into the redhead's room.
The bed was the first thing she spotted. It was made with another layer on top of her normal bedding along with decorative pillows. Her hand traced the material and it felt almost silk like for what was obviously cotton. She continued to brush her teeth and study the different items on her bed side table, a photo of her with her sister and Aubrey, a clock that read -
"Shit!" She almost chocked in her tooth paste as she rushed out.
At auditions.
Jesse sat at the back with his captain Bumper making obscene comments. He never particularly wanted to be captain but sometimes wished Bumper was less … well Bumper.
He looked around and was grinning when he spotted Cathy. She sat there with her friends and he just wished he could grab her and kiss her all over every morning. Every night. He was 100% smitten and he didn't care. Sure it was fun keeping things a secret to start and maybe enough now to continue but he really just wanted her to be with him without risking the world she built through singing. At least her family and sister knew about them, so one less person to hide from.
One after one singers came off stage and sang a rendition of Kelly Clarkson's since you've been gone. He kept watching Cathy's reaction after each female performer, wishing and hoping she's finding the right team. He wanted her to succeed so badly, and being the winning team every year he saw how Cathy felt defeated despite her supporting him.
"Next,"
Beca was the last to arrive. She walked up to the middle of the stage and looked over everyone, until eyes locked with Chloe. "I didn't realise I had to prepare that song," Aubrey scoffed knowing full well it's been mentioned to the younger Mitchell.
"That's ok, sing whatever you'd like," Chloe chimed in, still starting intently at the brunette.
Beca reached over and grabbed a cup, not without asking for permission politely, and took in a deep breathe. She used to sing this with Cathy all the time who taught her how to do this from a youtube video they watched years ago. They even got pretty good before Catchy left for college to interchange cups, but haven't done this since. It just made the most sense in the second as she sang and clapped against the cup she manuevered.
When she finished she caught Cathy smiling with possible happy tears on the verge of escaping her eyes, and a particular redhead grinning excitedly.
She knew she was in.
And with that came initiation.
With the oath, Beca watched Cathy who faltered at the mention of the Trebles. It sounds so ridiculous, especially since she's captain now, but Beca just went along and said her piece.
At the initiation party Cathy spotted Jesse who was greeting Beca into the world of acapella, and offered to get her a drink out of courtesy before Chloe appeared. She noticed the redhead getting too close and Beca being more and more comfortable with it.
"Chlo'" Cathy intercepted her friend from getting a few drinks. "Hey, can Curious-Chloe calm down on pursuing my baby sister,"
"I thought you wanted me to flirt with her?" Chloe raised an inquisitive brow.
"Yeah, a little to get her interested in acapella. Not to be your next-"
"What? You think I'm going to hook up with your sister for one night?" Chloe almost laughed, she didn't think Catch was seriously assuming she was going to treat her sister like the random fun she's had in the past. She's carefree sure but not heartless.
"Look you're both technically adults," Cathy sighed since Beca hasn't failed to mention how she's 18 now since her birthday a few days ago, "but she's never been with a girl," Cathy may have over shared here.
"Cathy. I get you're protective but… I haven't done anything yet."
"That's what scares me, what's going on Beale, what's with the leading my sister on."
"I guess I actually like her and don't want to rush anything. If I'm really the first girl she's ever liked it could be a phase. I know you're worried for your sis, but I also have feelings," Chloe defended maturely. "If I go for your sister I intend to be respectful. Both out of my love for you and well my feelings for her" she reassured Cathy. "Now can you relax, we actually did it!" She cheered
"You know he's off limits," Aubrey snuck up on Beca who just got her drink from Jesse.
"What? Ew-" she reminded herself that Aubrey didn't know but still.
"You can date anyone but him," she insinuated bode correcting herself, "a Treble"
Beca's eyes wandered to Chloe that second. "Got it boss, no Trebles." She mumbled as she walked over to the redhead.
"Did you get your drink?" Beca was feeling more courageous.
"I did, and it's making me wanna dance," she admit grabbing Beca to dance with along with a few other new Bellas.
Cathy caught Jesse's suggestive "let's get out of here" look and put down her drink. She looked over once more at the girls dancing and having a good time before sneaking off.
Beca was the only one to really notice her sister leave. Mainly as she knows she can't be "herself" around her. Not fully. With Cathy gone, she felt that maybe she could be bolder.
"I think we'll be great friends," Chloe mumbled to Beca to bring back her attention.
"Well, you saw me naked… maybe we can be more?" Beca didn't even realise what she was asking before it slipped out.
"More… in what way," Chloe was now leaning dangerously close to the younger Mitchell.
"Privately…" Beca tried to offer again and Chloe nodded backing away and suggesting they walk elsewhere.
Beca followed the redhead excitedly. Ok maybe too excited. She felt like a horny teen boy hoping to get lucky but didn't even know what 'get lucky' would even be. She was maybe going to hook up with her sister's best friend and well, it's not like Cathy wasn't pushing for it.
"Here," Chloe suggested in a mini alley like alcove away from anyone. Actually outside looking in, it was too dark to even tell there were two people standing there.
Beca leaned against one wall and Chloe stepped into her space again. "I really want to kiss you," Chloe admit staring at Beca's lips, as if it was her life source.
"I want you to kiss me too…" she breathed as Chloe's nose brushed hers. Beca's hands twitched at her sides before reaching up and grabbing Chloe's hips.
"If I kiss you… I won't be able to stop," Chloe warned as she played with the lapel of her jacket.
"I don't want you to stop" Beca confirmed as she was falling further and further into the trance of Chloe. Her smell, her soft skin, her baby blue eyes.
"Beca…" she breathed her name and Beca couldn't take it anymore. With a firm tug of Chloe's hips their lips met and they were kissing. Chloe was gentle to say the least, guiding the freshman with tongue strokes, hands caressing reassuringly, but Beca wanted more. She was pulling her in for more and Chloe could only resist for so long. She was now pulling the brunettes leg up to allow room for her thigh to meet her center and practically help the brunette dry hump against her.
"Fuck," Beca's head fell limp onto Chloe's shoulder who continued to rub her thigh against Beca, before setting her down. She knew this was a lot, she knew she told Cathy she's be somewhat respectful but this was… she didn't think as she got on her knees and began unbuttoning Beca's trousers.
"Chloe I've - I don't," Beca did want her to stop. She just wanted her to know she's never done this with a girl and Chloe understood.
"I know, it's ok…" she pulled Beca's jeans and underwear down enough to access wet folds and without much thought leaned in to suck Beca's aroused clit between eager lips. Licking and sucking in some awkward position, as she pulled her pants further down past knees to allow Beca to open up more - before reaching a finger and inserting it into the younger brunette. Chloe wanted to make Beca feel amazing. And based on the mumbled noises and buckling of her knees she was succeeding.
"Chloe-" Beca gasped her name. "I'm gonna…" she didn't know how to articulate the orgasm that hit her hard. Her whole body wanted to collapse, all her muscles tensed and relaxed, and the hand she didn't realise was in Chloe's hair tightened it's hold for purchase before releasing in defeat of the beautiful release.
"I've been wanting to do that to you since last year," Chloe admit, one hand supporting Beca as she stood up, the other covered in Beca's fluids which she eagerly licked off.
"Last year?" She mumbled dazed, as she half consciously pulled her clothes back up with a little help from Chloe.
"When you came to visit, we were a busier house back then"
"Oh…" how could Beca forget. Easy because she was too in her own world listening to music and being forced to be there to watch her sister perform along with a bunch of girls who all dressed alike.
"It's ok, we were all too busy preparing for one of our shows but… I just remember catching a glimpse of your tattoos," she admit admirin the one on her wrist. "Did it hurt?"
"A little… wow so you've been crushing on me since I was 17?" Beca's confidence for someone who just had the redhead on her knees licking at her was uncanny.
"Shut up," Chloe laughed at becaMs teasing. "I didn't know your age, I just knew I wanted to have a good time with you."
"And now?"
"You said you wanted more right?" Chloe reminded her with a quirked brow.
"Yes." Beca was nervous, she just had her first sexual experience with a women and it came and went so quickly. She didn't want it to end.
"In that case, can I stay over in your dorm tonight and properly thank you for joining the Bellas?"
Beca simply nodded as she looked around to make their escape from this little dark alcove to make her way to her dorm. She knew she had a roommate, but fuck it, college was all about getting laid in your dorm room.
