Summary: Beca and Chloe take on a 4,000 mile road trip back to Seattle after their 5-year Barden University/Bellas reunion. Established relationship.
The road trip fic you didn’t ask for, but I am feeling optimistic for the new year!! Happy 2018 everybody.
"Alright. Drive," Chloe commands. She kicks off her shoes and sits cross-legged in her seat after buckling herself in.
"Yes, my liege," Beca says obligingly. She revs the engine, double-checking all her mirrors and gas meter. "Are you really ready to be stuck with me for the next week?" she asks jokingly.
Instead of parrying with a joke of her own, Chloe just turns to her and smiles, obvious love in her eyes. "Of course. I can't see myself anywhere else, Bec."
It makes Beca's throat tighten because she still honestly can't believe they've been together and in love and dating and every other sappy romantic phrase. Being with Chloe has always allowed her to feel her most vulnerable without feeling afraid. She's learned a lot about opening herself up and letting feelings wash over her. She never feels like she's drowning because Chloe's there, holding her hand and guiding her through every new experience. They're in this together.
"Same," she replies, just as soft. "I love you."
