omg pls I never once put in a request to any writer before but I read a prompt from a generator page which is ‘quiet confessions in the moonlight’ and I can’t imagine it being written by anyone but you because you get the vibe and you write moments in a perfect chaste and soulful way where its not just physical

I’ll even take it in the form of a screenshot of the shortest draft ever written on your notes app and sell you my soul in return (or whatever’s left of it after aoioy) 😭

Beca's voice is soft when it finds her. "A little late for a swim."

Chloe opens her eyes. She isn't sure how long she's been sitting here in the dark yard, on the edge of the pool with her feet slowly dragging through the cool water. The LEDs are off and the kitchen behind Beca is still dark, the rest of the girls retired to bed long before Chloe wandered out here.

There's only the moonlight to see by, cresting on the little ripples around her legs and painting Beca's face in silver and shadow.

She's standing a few feet away, hands tucked into her pockets, barefoot with her pants legs already rolled up. Like she already knew Chloe would ask her to join her and she'd already decided to say yes.

Chloe can almost see it: Beca coming home, letting herself in quietly. Spotting Chloe outside and chuckling to herself as she kicked off her shoes. Or maybe she'd headed upstairs and not found Chloe in bed and came looking for her. The thought lands warm and fluttering in Chloe's chest. And beside it, another thought she can't stop having.

I love you. I think I've always loved you.

Chloe takes a deep breath around her pounding heart. "Never too late for a swim, Becs. Come closer, I'll prove it."

"No, thank you. I," she sits down on the edge of the pool, just out of reach, "don't trust you."

She gasps, playing up offended because she knows it will make Beca laugh. "I am TOTES trustworthy!"

Beca hums non-committally, feet plopping into the water. Her ripples collide with Chloe's breaking in tiny splashes of moonlight.

Chloe huffs playfully, scooting closer. Beca, despite eyeing her cautiously, does the same. There's only a foot of space between them now and Chloe wants to reach across it. Run her fingers across Beca's side, tap beats into her thigh. Idly play with the rolled cuffs just below her knees. Anything that brings her close, keeps her there.

I love you. I think I've always loved you.

Beca is the one that reaches. The back of her fingers drag softly down Chloe's side, her rings catching bits of light as her hand turns and her palm smooths down Chloe's thigh.

Chloe wants to combust, to sing, to scream. And she wants to stay utterly still in this moonlit moment forever.

"How are you feeling?" Beca's hand comes to rest a few inches above Chloe's knee. The same spot Beca holds when she drives.

"Good. Tired." Chloe shrugs and closes the gap between them so she can drop her cheek onto Beca's shoulder. She wraps her fingers loosely around Beca's wrist to keep her hand in place. "But not sleepy. I just wanted to get some fresh air for a bit. What about you?"

"Same," Beca says. Chloe can feel her unoccupied shoulder shrug. "But when I headed upstairs, you weren't in bed."

So Beca did come looking for her. Chloe can't resist turning her head to press a lingering kiss against Beca's shoulder.

I love you. I think I've always loved you.

"We can go to bed now, if you want," Chloe whispers against the place she's just kissed.

Beca turns her head so her cheek brushes against Chloe's hair. "Nah. I'm good here a while longer."

So they stay exactly as they are. Chloe half-wrapped around Beca's arm, Beca warm and relaxed under her lips. The ripples in the pool flickering and fading around their legs.

Somewhere in the distance, a car door shuts. There's a faint hum of sleepy voices and then quiet again, but Beca stirs. Chloe can hear it in the way her breathing changes that Beca had been on her way to dozing and the sound has roused her. She bumps her chin lightly against Chloe's head. "Alright. You ready for sleep yet, Beale?"

"Not really," Chloe says honestly, but she leans away, letting Beca stretch lazily.

"Mm. Do you want to make you some tea? That mango one helps you sleep, right?" Beca pats her thigh, dark eyes tracing over Chloe's face.

She means to say yes. To say that sounds nice and thank you.

Instead, she says, "I love you."

Beca smiles, automatic, but then there's a blink. A moment that anyone else would have missed in the dark, but Chloe knows Beca's face better than anyone. Faint moonlight is more than enough for Chloe to see the way Beca's attention sharpens. And she knows that Beca heard it, heard the tone that says she doesn't mean it the way she usually means it. Not in the casual way you say it to friends or family. But in the way you can only say it to someone you long to see at the end of every day, in the light of every morning.

"I think I've always loved you." Chloe continues. The nerves she'd felt earlier, when she thought about telling Beca, are gone.

When Beca kisses her, it doesn't feel shocking or strange at all.

It feels inevitable.

Since yall are bringing up aiaoy its only customary to ask for a sneak peek of the next chapter 🥺🥺🥺

Oh let me see what I can scrounge up in here. *sounds of clanking, shattering, a cat yowl, some banging* Ah!! Here you go!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Oooh, makeout time,” Stacie whispers at them as they head up the stairs.

Beca glares at her, but when they reach the upper landing and are out of earshot, she nonchalantly says, “I really do need a warning if this is makeout time. I just had garlic bread and I need a mint.”

Chloe giggles and twists to walk backward, sliding the hand holding Beca’s collar down to hook around the first done-up button. She tugs and Beca stumbles closer, bracing her hands against Chloe’s hips. “Oh, is that what you were hoping would happen up here, Becs?”

Oh how fun it always is to watch her ears turn red. “I…” Beca says, letting the word hang for a second. “Invoke my Fifth Amendment right to remain silent.”

Did you ever read experimentation?

YES!!!!! i've read it like four times by now

its peak asf you should all go read it

Pitch perfect slice of life series where each episode a different Bella or group of Bellas have to babysit toddler Bella Conrad and it's just pure chaos.

CR just sitting on the couch with Bella either watching Bluey or some +18 movie - there's no in-between.

Fat Amy trying to teach her some weird-ass karate moves or mermaid dancing or some shit like that.

Aubrey and Chloe putting Bella on a walking chair or sth and completely forgetting about her and then crashing out when they can't find her or, on the same track, playing hide & seek and losing the toddler. Or they crash out while trying to feed her 'cause Bella just refuses to eat their food. Just them crashing out.

Beca being a surprisingly good aunt and just about spoiling Bella with whatever she wants. Ice-cream. Got it. Park. Got it. A pink batman costume with a little tutu and fairy wings. Got it. (Don't ask how)

Flo with Ashley and Jessica causing chaos trying to brew the baby some food from her hometown and just about burning the kitchen in the process.

Lily.

With any of the Bellas.

I don't need to go further on that, I know it will be hilarious no matter who you pair her with.

Doing well! How are you? What do you think happened to Aubrey's mom?

HI i'm also well!!

ooooo aubrey's mom. hmm. that's kind of a loaded question because there are a lot of options i've gone through in my mind over the years.

one of them is that she's dead. i don't necessarily like the idea, but it has more clarity than my usual (less clear, less final) headcanons 😭 so either died at birth or during aubrey's childhood. perhaps at birth makes more sense given the situation with her father? he could've dived head first into work and strict order to keep anything from happening out of his control again 💁

then my second, preferred option is that she either left or divorced aubrey's dad. in the version of her leaving, i usually think of her as younger than the average parent, so she feels the need to escape the responsibility of settling down with a child. she goes and never looks back.

in the case of divorce, it was a rocky relationship from the start. they got together due to pressure from parents of both sides, but when aubrey's mom got pregnant with her, dad left for military. it was a long distance (physically and mentally) for them to handle, and aubrey's mom eventually filed for divorce and left aubrey in the custody of her dad. the reason for that i'm not fully aware of? but. something along the lines of not wanting a reminder of the shitty life she had with him 🙈

so uh. there. i'm like about to fall asleep so coherence isnt my top priority (genuine apologies, i can elaborate further when i'm awake should you have any follow-up questions), but here you go anyway!!!! always happy to yap about aubrey <3

i totally meant to add the possibility of her still being around, just. as neglecting as aubrey's dad 😭 yeah i need to go to sleep lmfao

#insert no one knowing who tf i am #pitch perfect #bechloe

mitchellbeales

question for the bechloe fandom: why do you think beca never explicitly realized she was in love with chloe? was she really just oblivious

atotalpitch

(i apologize if this is going to be an overly long word vomit that makes zero sense) okay so firstly, i personally think that making Beca oblivious is kinda sorta mischaracterising her, even though it is a running theme in the fandom and practically everyone has accepted it. she knows, and she's capable of figuring it out without making a fool of herself. we see how she's like with Jesse in the first movie, and how capable she is of confidence all through the trilogy. so it's not her necessarily being bad at recognizing the feelings. the issue with her not explicitly realizing is most likely due to her just being in too much denial about it, and lacking the experience of having friends as close as Chloe before. so it could be her brushing it off as Chloe just having absolutely no sense of boundaries whatsoever. it's not that she doesn't know when someone's flirting with her, it's that she's not sure whether it's intended platonically or not (given her lack of prior knowledge). she says in the first movie how she's never really had a group of girl friends like the Bellas before, and there's the explanation i'm kinda going for here. she could easily think that it's just the way best friends act. she's not a movie person either (as we all know) so she would've never seen that kind of representation of best friends / couples on screen either, as most people have before they structure their social circles. the human's expectations of social life are largely based on media (movies / tv shows and nowadays also social media), parental and sibling influences, as well as educational structure. and as far as we know, Beca's an only child with divorced parents who happened to mess up their shit at the age where Beca was developing her ideas of relationships and what they look like. that, and given the fact that she's kind of a loner nerd basically mean that her views on trust based relationships are from negative to technically non-existent. if she did have friends or anything resembling actual human relationships, they were most likely influenced by her parents' situation leaving her with little to no material to work with for the future. hence the hesitance with getting too close to anyone, also explaining why she would be scared of admitting her denial to the feelings she's experiencing with Chloe during college. so, i think it's Beca's lack of understanding of the chemistry with Chloe rather than obliviousness to it. another factor that i've been turning over in my mind a bit as i've written about her character specifically, is that she could also be a victim to the beast known as deep-rooted internalized homophobia that she doesn't really know exists. i mean, she obviously seems like the kind of person to be confident in her sexuality no matter who or what she prefers, but it could also factor in her confusion towards her feelings for Chloe. or maybe she just hadn't considered being into girls beforehand, and it just makes her brain short-circuit in a way that causes her to force the denial further. maybe that could explain her going for Jesse instead of the more obvious choice (Chloe), because her expectations of relationships are what her parents displayed. so she would think that distance and semi-coldness is a vital part of a relationship, since that's quite literally what happened with her parents when she was conscious enough to understand the situation (pre-divorce). of course she has learned growing up that having a significant other can look very different to her parents, but it's still there in her brain in a way that she can't control (without professional help). she seems unlikely to have a sexual crisis though, so i'm tilting it to the being a confused-idiot-with-abandonment-issues side. ...yeah.

thinking about this

thinking about expanding this further

actually i'm just thinking about pitch perfect in general again hi guys

#watching pp1 as we speak #whats up haha #im not dead

redlance

Whoops, I dropped this

She can’t remember, not in that moment. Not while Chloe’s gaze is so heavy on her, pinning her to the spot and making her feel like she’s in the direct path of a lava flow. Frozen but on fire at the same time, until Chloe leans down to spit the toothpaste into the sink and breaks eye contact, allowing Beca to regain her motor functions and continue on her way downstairs.
