Beca and Chloe had been a thing now for a few weeks, or at least Chloe thought so. Their late night chats and movie marathons had recently all ended in a hookup. Everything would start off as usual, but as the night went on things would just happen. Neither girl ever planned to spend their night like that, but then it started to become more regular. They were secretly hooking up almost every night, and none of the other Bellas even knew.

Beca liked to pretend they were just friends. She knows friends don't look each other the way they do, and she definitely knows they don't make out like her and Chloe do either. Beca was just always scared for her relationships to get serious, so she tried to stay in the laid back phase as long as possible. For her and Chloe, this phase was just being friends.

Chloe assumed Beca wouldn't be on the same page as her, but she wanted them to be dating. They had never actually talked about it, so she could at least have some hope.

One night, Beca and Chloe happened to be alone in the Bella house. The other girls had gone out to various bars and parties since it was Friday. Beca always preferred staying in, and Chloe always preferred staying with Beca.

"Can we go make popcorn?" Chloe asked as Beca picked out their movie for the night.

Beca followed her to the kitchen and watched her red curls bounce with every step. She was so entranced by Chloe's beauty, it was hard to even focus just walking to the kitchen.

Chloe reached into the pantry to look for popcorn when she felt two hands wrap around her waist from behind. Beca was standing pressed against the taller girl, letting her head find a spot in Chloe's neck.

Chloe turned her body to face Beca, and let her own hands find Beca's waist. It wasn't long before their lips met, making out passionately as they moved to the counter. In one swift motion, Chloe lifted Beca onto the kitchen island.

"Chloe Beale!" Beca squealed.

Chloe lifted off Beca's shirt and slowly moved her kisses down the brunette's neck and chest. As she began to fiddle with the drawstring of Beca's shorts, a high-pitched scream stopped her.

"O-M-aca-G!" Emily exclaimed from a few feet away.

"Oh my god. Oh my god! Since when are you home?" Beca said. She was mortified that a Bella saw this, let alone Emily.

Chloe nudged Beca's shirt back to her. She fixed her hair, trying to clean up whatever Emily just saw.

"I've been home all night. So you guys are like together now? This is so exciting! I have to text the other girls." Emily said, already pulling out her phone.

"No!" Beca said.

Chloe shot her a confused look. She couldn't tell which part Beca was saying "no" about. She also couldn't tell why Beca was so upset. She knew they had been keeping it a secret, but she didn't think it would be an issue to not be secret.

"I just mean the other Bellas shouldn't know. We're not even dating!" Beca said throwing her hands in the air. She was still sitting on the counter, and Chloe looked up at her with a small frown.

"Um, ok. I'll let you guys figure this out. Just pretend like I was never here!" Emily said as she awkwardly left the room.

"Do you not want to be with me?" Chloe asked desperately.

"What? I mean, we never talked about this, Chlo. I kind of thought we were just going with the flow." Beca said shrugging her shoulders. She hopped off the counter and placed her hands on the redhead's shoulders.

"I just don't see how we could ever just be a hookup. We're best friends! There's too much of a relationship there." Chloe said. She shook Beca's hands off.

"Dude it's only been going on for the past like week." Beca said, clearly annoyed.

"The past three weeks. Whatever Beca, you clearly don't want to talk about this right now." Chloe said as she left the kitchen.

"Chlo, wait. I never said that."

Chloe disregarded her begging and continued upstairs. Beca heard her bedroom door shut behind her, so clearly she wanted to be alone.

Beca eventually went up to her own room, but she was still shook up by what just happened. She couldn't grasp why Chloe was so upset. After sitting with her thoughts for a while, she decided it was time to talk to Chloe. Even if she didn't understand, she knew she wanted to make Chloe happy no matter what.

"Yes?" Chloe said after Beca knocked on her door.

"Chlo, can we talk?" Beca said pushing the door open slightly.

Chloe didn't say anything, and Beca took that as a yes. She walked in and took a seat next to Chloe on the bed.

"Sorry I freaked out earlier."

Silence.

"I'm just scared, Chloe." Beca continued.

"Of me?" The redhead asked. She looked hurt at the idea of that.

"No. Of me messing things up." Beca said staring at her lap. She was embarrassed by her vulnerability.

"Beca yo–"

"You're sure you want the other girls to know?" Beca interrupted.

"Well yeah, but not if you don't want them to."

Beca pulled out her phone and opened the Bellas group chat. She began to type, and then Chloe's phone buzzed.

Beca: Me and Chlo are dating

Chloe looked back up from her phone with the widest smile on her face. It was so like Beca to share such big news in such a nonchalant way.

"I can't believe you just did that, Becs." Chloe said.

"If you don't want to be a secret, then I don't either. I think I was always ready for the other girls to know, you just had to push me a little."

"I knew it!" Emily yelled from her room. She had clearly just seen the text.

Around that same moment, a flood of texts came through in response to Beca's. They were all happy for the girls, and it felt right. Most of the Bellas, especially Amy, had been suspicious of Chloe and Beca being more than friends over the years.

As the night wrapped up, Beca snuggled into bed with Chloe. They fell asleep in each other's arms, both feeling the happiest ever.

About an hour into their sleep, the door swung open.

"You guys!" Amy yelled.

"Ames, we're sleeping." Beca groaned.

"My two best friends are lovers! I can't be quiet about that!" She continued. Amy ran over to the bed and wrapped her arms around both of the girls. Chloe was awake now too, but not very excited to be.

"Amyyy." Chloe whined.

"Bloe is real! I knew it!" Amy said. She hadn't quieted down despite the other girls' wishes.

"Yes, Amy. Now please let us sleep." Beca said.

"Alright, but I did call it!" Amy said as she finally left. She might have even been more happy than Beca and Chloe themselves!

"Or we can not sleep." Chloe said followed by a wink after Amy shut the door.

"We never did finish what we were doing in the kitchen..." Beca smirked. She turned out from Chloe's arms and got on top of her.

"You're the worst, Mitchell." Chloe said with a grin.

"You started it!" Beca teased before tilting Chloe's chin up for a kiss.
