Read below or on AO3!!
Emily couldn’t stop thinking aboutthat kiss.
She was familiar with obsession.She was the kind of person who fell in love with a song and listened to it onrepeat for three weeks straight. The type of person who would read a book orwatch a show and find herself constantly thinking back on it. She’d be up until4am scouring the internet for fan theories and fanfictions and Easter eggs.
Yes, Emily was wholeheartedlyfamiliar with obsession.
Her preoccupation with that kiss,though? On a whole new level.
She’d find herself zoning out whenshe was supposed to be doing something else, her brain replaying that magicalmoment on repeat. She’d accidentally drift off in class, analyzing everyinteraction with Beca she’d ever had. She’d fall asleep fantasizing aboutkissing Beca again, letting it lead her into Beca-filled dreams.
All this obsessing was making hera little crazy, but what was she to do? She’d tried to talk to Becaabout it, but Beca kept avoiding her.
Emily was straight up obsessed…but Beca? Beca was ghosting.
She’d tried everything. She’dtried to talk to Beca after rehearsals, but Beca, who never ran anywhere unlessshe was being absolutely forced to, literally sprinted out of the roomthe second Emily glanced in her direction. She wouldn’t come within a few feetof Emily, eat in the same room, or even look her in the eyes, which was makingtheir Worlds performance really awkward. Emily had even crept up to the loftwhen she knew Fat Amy was out, but Beca hadn’t been there, or if she had, she’dbeen hiding.
Emily was starting to think thatshe wouldn’t put it past Beca to hide under the bed when she heard Emilycreaking up the stairs.
It was kind of making her mad,because like, who kisses a person and then just… completely ignores theirexistence? Really, Beca? Like who does that?
But Emily doesn’t really wanna bemad at Beca. What she wants is to kiss Beca. Again. And again. Andagain.
Since Beca wouldn’t talk to her,though, Emily was just settling for this all-consuming obsession.
She didn’t really know what elseto do.

Stuck in an elevator.
Apparently that was the solutionto Emily’s problem. All she had to do was get them stuck in an elevator. Notthat she’d meant to do it. In fact, it wasn’t even her fault. But thatelevator sure did have good timing.
See, they’d been down at the hotelrestaurant in Copenhagen having dinner on their first night there, when Becahad suddenly frowned and pushed up from the table just as their drinks came.“Forgot my phone in the room, be right back.”
Emily, seeing a goldenopportunity, decided to follow. “GOTTA PEE!” She exclaimed, probably too loudlyand publicly, but hey, she was in a hurry!
She sped out of the restaurantafter Beca, seeing her turn the corner toward the elevator bay. She rushedafter her, catching up just in time to slip through the sliding doors as theyclosed.
“Beca.”
Beca gaped at her. “How did you --Legacy, what are you doing?”
“I’m chasing after you,obviously!”
The doors shut before Beca had achance to do anything about it, and the elevator started to rise.
“I…” Beca stared, her back upagainst the opposite wall of the elevator. She was in dark jeans and a purpleflannel, an old but comfy looking one, and Emily thought she looked unreallygorgeous.
“Can we talk?”
Beca shook her head in her denial.“About what?”
Emily rolled her eyes, because,like, nobody is that thick. “You know about what! You’ve been avoiding me sinceyou kissed me last week!”
“Have I?” Beca frowned. “No, that…that doesn’t sound like me.”
“Yes, it does.” Emily crossed herarms, pouting. “Can’t we just talk about it. If it didn’t mean anything,that’s fine, but like, I don’t think we should just avoid it.”
“I’m… now’s not really… I mean,we’re almost at our floor, and --”
It was then that the elevatordinged, and Beca turned toward the doors, expecting them to open.
They just… never did.
They stayed forcibly, unmovablyshut.
“Um.” Beca frowned. Pushed the opendoor button. “Wait.” Emily furrowed her eyebrows, reaching around Beca topush the button herself. Beca scoffed. “Really?”
Emily giggled nervously. “Justchecking.”
Beca jammed the button a few moretimes, but nothing happened. “Motherfucker.”
“Are we stuck?”
“I think so.” Beca finally lookedat her. “Can you call Chloe and tell her to tell the front desk? My phone’supstairs.”
Emily called Chloe and they waitedwhile the Bellas all erupted into laughter at their expense before going to thefront desk. Chloe assured them they were working on it and to stay on the linefor updates.
Emily hung up.
“Hey! She said to stay on the linefor updates!”
Emily raised an eyebrow at Beca’sflabbergasted expression. “No, I think we should have some time to speak inprivate. Since we’re stuck in here anyway.”
Beca stared at her for a longmoment, then slid down the elevator wall and onto the floor. Emily sat downacross from her, her back against the opposite wall. They looked at each other.
Emily thought Beca’s face was astone wall, flat and blank.
“So…”
Beca curled her legs up to herchest, tapping her hands on her knees. “So…”
“You kissed me.”
Beca’s eyes skittered away, herstone wall cracking the tiniest amount. “Yeah. I guess I did.”
“You’ve been avoiding me for daysand acting like a crazy person.”
Beca grimaced. “Avoiding isa… strong word.”
Emily huffed. “Avoiding,Beca.”
“Okay, fine.” Beca sighed, herhead falling back against the elevator wall. “I’m sorry. For avoiding you. I’mjust not good at this stuff. Obviously.”
“That’s okay,” Emily saidpatiently. “You don’t have to be good at it. But normally when people kissother people, they don’t just run away and not say anything about it. Usuallypeople talk about their feelings.”
“No, see,” Beca sat up straighter.“If that were the case, then feelings would be called ‘talkings’.”
Emily blinked as she took that in.Then she snorted. “Stop.”
Beca smiled at her. “I’m sorry.”
“For the kiss? Because I’m not.”
“You’re not?”
Emily shook her head. “No. Thatwas… the best kiss I’ve ever had. My head was totally spinning. I heard thechorus of like, twelve new love songs in my head. They’re gonna be total bops.”
“I…” Beca gave her a strange look,lips ticking up in a half-smile. “Okay…”
“It was like one of those kissesthat only happens in movies, you know? Like a fairytale because it’s just thatgood.” Beca’s eyes crinkled when she laughed and Emily’s heart flipped. Theystared at each other again, Beca’s face softening the longer Emily looked ather. She wanted to reach out and hold Beca’s hand, but the elevator was just alittle too big and Beca just a little too far away. Finally, she sighed. “Ijust don’t get why.”
Beca paused. Then she shrugged.“I…” She fidgeted. Flattened her legs back against the ground, her foot justinches from Emily’s. “Something happened to me.”
Emily frowned. “What do you mean?Something bad?”
“No,” Beca was quick to say. “Notsomething bad.” She looked down at her lap. “When we were at the retreat andyou looked at me, and we all were singing… I just…” She gestured to herselfabstractly. “And then we were at Residual and like, vibing, you know?And something happened, and I… thought differently. I had a sensation, like, itcould be like that all the time. Like we’d kick ass together. And Ithought maybe… but.” She shrugged, at a loss for words. “I don’t know.”
“You thought… maybe… me and you?”Emily’s heart dropped into her stomach. “Together?”
“Yeah,” Beca said, her voicebarely above a whisper. “And I think I just… wasn’t prepared for how much thatwas gonna hit me and I panicked. You know, in the closet. But I didn’t want youto think it wasn’t because I didn’t want to. It’s because I reallywanted to, but like…” She shrugged again. “I just don’t know what I’m doing.I’m a total failure at this stuff, dude. And now it’s like…” Beca groaned, herfingers coming up to pinch at her nose. “Now we’re stuck in this fuckingelevator and I can’t even explain myself.”
Emily’s insides felt like mush andshe chuckled. “Well, that’s all you had to say. You didn’t have to say it well,but you didn’t have to go around saying nothing.”
“Okay, well easy for you to say.You’re all…” Beca gestured at her. “You’re whole self. And I’m like…” Shegestured to herself. “Me. Unfortunately.”
“Well, I like you, thank you verymuch, so....” Emily tapped Beca’s foot with her own. “What now?”
“What now?”
Emily nodded. “Mhmm. So, like.Where do we go from here?”
“Oh.” Beca looked truly puzzled.“I… didn’t really think past this point. I couldn’t even think up to thispoint, to be honest.”
Emily grinned. “Well, I’vedefinitely thought past this point.”
Beca’s mouth fell open. “I… okay.”She gave Emily a strange look. “What… um… What did you think, then?”
“Me and you, on a date,” Emilybegan, a smile in her voice. “And me and you making music together, like allthe time. And… me and you…” Emily hummed, crawling the few feet between them soshe was up in Beca’s space. Beca’s eyes zeroed in on hers. “Doing this,” Emilyfinished. Then she leaned down and pressed her lips to Beca’s.
Beca’s breath got caught betweenthem and she exhaled sharply against Emily’s lips. Her hand settled on Emily’scheek and she tilted her neck up more, pulling Emily closer. It was soft,softer than that first hallway kiss but still electrifying. Emily felt itagain, those fireworks in her stomach, that head-spinning rush. It wasintoxicating. Phenomenal.
What soulmates are made of.
She pulled back slightly, but Becaheld her there, her hand still on Emily’s cheek.
“Um,” Beca murmured. “Whoa.”
“Good whoa?”
“Yeah. Great whoa. Amazing whoa.Totes awes whoa. Oh… wait, no, I sound like Chloe, ew.”
Emily smiled and their lipsbrushed together again. “Aca-whoa?”
“Stop,” but Beca laughed, thesound vibrating against Emily’s lips.
Emily hummed happily. “So we good?No more avoiding?”
“Alright. I guess not.” She couldfeel Beca’s eye roll. “Can’t do much avoiding in this elevator anyway, so wemight as well… just…” Beca tugged her closer again, connecting their lips.
Emly laughed. “Seven minutes inHelevator.”
Beca pulled back again to grimaceat her. “What?”
“Like Seven Minutes in Heaven inan elevator.”
“It sounds like Hell when youcombine those. Like, it sounds bad, dude.”
“Moving on,” Emily laughed. Shesettled between Beca’s legs, her hand on the elevator wall, and leaned backdown.
Beca’s hands circled around herneck as Emily slid their lips together, soft and curious. Her whole body wastingly. She tilted her head to deepen the kiss, her tongue slipping into Beca’smouth. Beca exhaled, adjusting under Emily, her fingers crawling down Emily’sneck, to her shoulder, her side, her waist. They brushed under her shirt, warmand soft against Emily’s skin.
Emily gasped and --
The sound was swallowed by thesharp ding of the elevator as the doors slid open. Emily’s whole bodyjolted, startled, her head whipping around to watch as the doors opened widerand wider, revealing Bella after Bella standing there, one-by-one.
They all stared at each other asthey took in the scene, and as far as Emily could tell, the mouth of everyBella might as well have been on the floor.
“Oh. My. God?” Stacie gaped.
“What the fuck?” Cynthia Roselooked them up and down.
Emily immediately rolled off ofBeca. “Um.”
Beca stood up, pulling Emily withher. “Cool, yeah, so this is happening, okay, and if any of you make a big dealof this or make either of us feel any kind of mortification, I will still putlaxatives in all of your fucking food. So, just… shut up.”
Then she grabbed Emily’s hand andmarched straight out of the elevator and down the hall, dragging Emily behindher.
i don't think i told you that i finished my first run of undertale yellow with the true pacifist run a few days ago and now i've been doing a neutral run!! UTY is so good and so impressive especially for being a completely free fangame. right now i'm just kind of shocked at how different the steamworks is on neutral, like i knew obviously it'd be different without ceroba but there is so much?? it's literally the same area but feels like a whole new experience and it's incredible i love this game. also flowey is so funny i both can't stand him and love him so much at the same time.
YAYYYYYY NEUTRAL ‼️‼️‼️‼️ I love the neutral steamworks so much, it's one of my favourite parts of the whole game. Flowey and clover have such a fun dynamic is2g 😭
