A/N: Here y'all go! Did I just say "y'all"? you all? what?
"Aubrey clucked as she surveyed her best friend's room. It was as spic and span, sure, but in one corner of the room was giant unicorn stuffed toy holding an artificial rose propped up by a wall of photos of a certain brunette and redhead. In the middle of this ensemble was a framed 8x11 photo of the two girls, a pair of headphones embracing the frame itself.
"Damn Chlo…" she breathed out in slight disapproval before grabbing a Harry Potter™ wand from the nightstand and poking a mound of blankets. "Wake up Chloe! We need to talk."
A grunt from underneath the blankets was offered. Aubrey shook her head, knowing full well how Chloe is in the mornings. She took out her silver whistle and blew it determinedly.
"Her voice sounds like yellow!" Chloe jumped out of the mountain of quilts wrapped around her. "what? Where?" she looked around in confusion spotting Aubrey with her hands on her hips.
"Oh shit. I'm so sorry Aubrey! What time is it? OMG, I thought I set my alarm."
"Don't worry about it. The café was full anyway and the blueberry croissants got sold out." Aubrey nodded, referring to their supposed breakfast date.
"Oh well, I'm still sorry." A sheepish smile was offered.
Aubrey sat beside Chloe and took her hands in hers. "Chloe, we need to talk. Call it an intervention, if you will."
"Intervention about what?" Blue eyes crinkled in innocent bewilderment.
"You have a Beca shrine in your room! You need to deal with your toner!"
"It's not a shrine! It's just Pudding's corner of the room and… some other stuff…" Chloe fiddled with the edge of her blanket, looking anywhere but Aubrey.
"Yes, it is a shrine. You have Beca's broken headphones there. And why would you name your plushy 'Pudding'?" The blonde eyeballed her, squinting slightly.
"Because she looks like she ate the rainbow leading to Pudding Mountain." Chloe grinned, her eyes glazed over with the imaginary scene flashing in her mind's eye.
"You should stop hanging out with Lilly. Seriously." Aubrey waved a hand in front of the redhead. "Now about your toner— "
"BASTARD!" an ungodly scream followed by a slew of choice curse words broke Aubrey's prepared speech and both girls turned to the doorway.
"That sounded like—"
"Beca! I'm coming!" Chloe leaped out of bed and made a mad dash two doors down the hallway. Aubrey huffed and got to her feet, following the redhead with more dignity than Chloe showed.
Beca was found ripping up pictures and breaking some DVDs into pieces while cursing with a fury unmatched by the nine levels of hell.
"Becs, what happened? What's going on?" Chloe placed a comforting hand on the brunette's shoulder. The seemingly simple action made Beca calm down by just enough to seethe out "He frigging cheated on me, the sonova— I mean, she wasn't even— with that chick from the High Notes, no less! Telling me that he had 'needs' and I was emotionally retarded and—" she huffed and turned to Chloe who tightly hugged her.
"Oh Beca…" Chloe leaned back to smooth out Beca's wind-blown hair. "Let me just get some duct tape, a rope and a can of gas and I will fix this, okay?"
That forced a chuckle out of the fuming DJ. "I'm pretty sure lynching was outlawed a hundred years ago Chlo, but thanks for the thought."
They stayed in their embrace for a few more minutes before Beca peeked through her lashes and mumbled. "As long as you're here Red, I'll be okay."
Chloe hummed. "Always Becs."
"Okay you two, you REALLY need to deal with your toners or you will stretch out all your pants!" Aubrey snarked by the doorway, walking towards her two friends.
"What toners?"
"This is just normal friend stuff."
Aubrey pinched her nose and took a deep breath to organize her thoughts. She then clasped her hands together before facing Beca.
"First of all, friends don't normally give things with promises of love attached to them. Second, friends do not ditch their boyfriend—"
"Ex. Ex-boyfriend."
"—their was then boyfriend to take their friend on a date. Finally, friends do not go all mushy in front of their so-called friend."
The bossy blonde then turned her attention to Chloe who was still holding Beca in a loose hug.
"And you. Normal friend stuff do not include making a shrine for that friend, offering to take out someone's ex and that, THAT FACE you make every time you see that friend is not a platonic friend look!"
"Just make out already!" Fat Amy's voice chirped out.
Looking over towards the doorway, the annoyed blonde and the two confused girls saw all the Bella's peeking through the door, eavesdropping. Of course, Fat Amy just had to offer her two cents.
"Yeah, you two. The sexual tension between you two is always making me horny." Stacie said with a twist on her lips. Emily, who was standing beside her, had her hands clapped over her mouth trying to keep her giggles in.
"I have a flame thrower you could borrow." Lilly directed this comment to Chloe who nodded and mouthed 'later' to the Asian girl.
The rest of the Bella's voiced their support on the two getting together, cheering them on.
Chloe looked at Beca, her eyes shining with emotion. "So.. this is us…"
"I… what… " Beca swallowed the lump of self-doubt in her throat. "I really like you Chloe. I mean it. You mean a lot to me. I just hope you feel the same way…? I — Uhm, I, gawd, I'm not good at this! Is it true you made a shrine?"
Chloe giggled softly and squeezed Beca affectionately. "It isn't a shrine…It's just a corner where Pudding lives and she has your broken headphones because it keeps her ears warm."
She smiled all wide-eyed and adorably dopey before sobering up.
"And Beca… I know I'm a bit dumb and spacey so I rely more on my heart than my mind and right now, my heart is saying that you're the one. I knew the second I saw you in the activities fair there was something about you that took my breath away. Turns out there wasn't something about you at all. It was just you. I love all of you Beca. I... I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close. Please... please accept my love."
Beca pursed her lips to keep herself from grinning like a fool. Her eyes were shining with unshed tears of happiness that she took the said hand on Chloe's chest and wiped at them in embarrassment. "So can I kiss you now?" she chortled, cheeks as red as tomatoes.
"Well, the first time you had a chance, by the oak tree, we were rudely interrupted by someone flashing a light to our faces…."
"Sorry! I just heard voices and I didn't mean to… " Emily squeaked out behind Fat Amy.
"And I wasn't sure what you felt that time by the dock." Beca shrugged, her awkwardness shining through.
"Oh, so that's why you took off even before I could open my eyes after you whispered to me. Huh… Well, now you know what I feel so…"
"So…."
"Just kiss already!" Aubrey hissed at them both. "Or I swear I will burn Pudding!"
"Finally!" was the last thought that flashed through Chloe's mind before she felt Beca's soft lips against hers.
THE END! (for real this time. ^^)
A/N: Or wait...Do you want to end it here or….? Let's calm down and think about this rationally….ooh! look! more caffeine! and sugar!
