Work Text:
Beca walks into the ice skating rink spot and slowly scans her eyes across the whole room, watching the little kids grabbing onto the side of the rink, trying not to slip. Beca smiles a little. She definitely can do it better than them. (She definitely can not)
Beca looks down at her phone to see what time it is. 2:02, the girl should be here. All she knows about this date is that the girl's name was Chloe and that she apparently had red hair, so that's what she would be looking for.
A wind of cold air sweeps over the back of Becas head. She thinks nothing of it. Someone has just walked in behind her. Out of the corner of her eye, she sees no other than a redhead. She looks over and slides her phone into her pocket. She's generally nervous going up to this girl.
Suddenly the ginger turns and gives Beca a huge inviting smile. "Are you...Chloe?" Beca struggles to ask, feeling still a bit nervous.
Chloe somehow smiles even more and sticks out her hand. "I am. Are you Beca?"
Becas eyes scan down to her hand and back up to Chloe's face pushing her hand out of her jacket pocket to take Chloe's hand glove in her own as they shake it. Beca answers. "Yep.. yeah.. sure am..." Chloe chuckles slightly at Beca's small rambling. "Sorry"
Chloe's eyebrows stitch together as their arms move back into their own respected bubbles. "For what?" She laughs a little, her face loosening up a bit. "Nothing to be sorry for. Let's go" Chloe smiles and grabs Becas hand as if she's known her for years and starts pulling her towards the shoe clerk.
Once getting their shoes, they head over to a bench and put their skates on. By the time Chloe's done, she looks over and sees Beca still struggling with her first ice skate. "You need help, Becs?"
"No, I ca-"Beca tried to answer, but it was too late. Chloes is in front of her, on her knees. Beca is suddenly disturbed by the thoughts that just flew through her head. (Nope. No way. Out dirty thoughts!)
Chloe laces Beca's skates both up pretty easily and looks up at Beca with a proud smile as if she had just done something great. Well, it was great. Beca would've been there for what would've seemed years if the ginger wouldn't have helped her. Chloe stands up and reaches for Beca's hand. Beca nervously takes Chloe's hand so she can be pulled up as soon as she's up though Beca pulls her hand away, and they walk over to the gate. Chloe opens the gate and steps onto the ice. She stands there waiting for Beca to join her.
Beca uses the side as she steps onto the ice. She slips slightly and smiles a little. "Oh shit"
"Need help?" Chloe's trying to hold back a giggle.
"Hey, don't laugh at me," Beca says, trying to hold back her own laughter.
Chloe shut the gate as soon as Becas moves away trying to stay upright and not face-planting on the floor. "You ever been skating?" Chloe asks as she flings herself to the other side of Beca, making her have to turn around on her skates.
"Yeah, when I was little, but it's a bit harder when you're bigger," Becas says, tightening her grip on the sides.
"Oh, so when you were like... 9," Chloe smirks.
Becas face dramatically drops into an offended look. "I can't believe you just short-shamed me two seconds into our date!" Both girls laugh.
"Take my hand, dork," Chloe says as her hand reaches for Becas.
"What? No, I can't let go of this bar" Beca smiles and pushes away her hand.
"You haven't even tried. Come on, it's fun," Chloe says excitedly as she moves away from Beca a little and starts to ice skate around. She skates a bit away from Beca before gliding around in a circle and coming right back in front of her. "Please?" Chloe pouts a little, and that's when Beca realizes if this woman asked for anything, and she means anything, she'd do it, including killing someone. The blue eyes on Chloe were one of her best features, her eyelashes complimenting them just as well.
Beca sighs and takes Chloe's hand. "If I fall, it's on you," Beca says.
"Mm... no, I think that's your feet's fault," Chloe teases. Beca takes her hand away from the wall slowly as Chloe starts pulling her, but almost instantly, Beca starts fumbling. Chloe stops and suddenly takes both of Beca's hands, and Chloe's skating backward, facing Beca and looking her in the eyes.
"Just focus on me, don't think about your feet," Chloe says in a small whisper.
"Okay," Beca mumbles falling right back into the pool of Chloe's eyes.
- -
"See, that wasn't that bad, was it?" Chloe smirks, and that's when Beca looks around, and they're back where they started.
"How-what??" Beca laughs.
"I don't know, seemed you'd stared off into space, so I just held your hands," Chloe smiles.
Beca looks down at their hands, and suddenly dawns on her that she hasn't slipped for a while, and now that she has noticed it, she can feel her feet again and is very aware of what they're doing. So, she trips slightly. "Wow, you were doing so good," Chloe laughs a little.
"Sorry," Beca laughs steadying herself again and holding Chloe's hands tighter.
"Do you want to learn how to skate without me a bit better?" Chloe asks.
Honestly, no, she doesn't. She wants Chloe to continue guiding her around the ice. But she can't let her know that, so she nods instead. "Yes, please" Beca bites her lip and smiles.
Chloe lets go of one of Becas hands and positions herself next to Beca, facing the same way. "So look at your feet; now look at mine."
"Sentences I don't ever wanna hear again," Beca smirks.
"Ew," Chloe laughs. "It totes sounded like a foot fetish."
"Sorry to say if you have a foot fetish, I am not your gal," Beca teases, still with her smirk.
Chloe totes feel like pushing Beca to make her fall, but she doesn't and just laughs. "Okay, without being weird, look at your feet and then mine... without being weird." She repeats.
Beca just snickers and does as she's asked. She does exactly what Chloe's doing with her body. She bends her knees just slightly.
"Okay, so don't lean forward otherwise, you'll fall, but if you keep your feet like this and ur knees bent, you should be able to stay upright, plus balance" Chloe shrugs a little. "Watch me, okay?"
"No problem," Beca winks, and Chloe chuckles slightly.
Chloe lets go of Becas hand and starts to move her feet, and then suddenly, she's gliding across the ice elegantly.
"Can't be that easy," Beca says in total shock.
"It is," Chloe shrugs, spinning around to now skate back towards Beca. "Now you try."
"Y-yeah, okay.." Beca bends her knees once more and checks her feet, she starts pushing forward, and she's doing it! Just like a little kid Beca says exactly that. "Chloe! I'm so-" She was trying to say it all until she fell right on her ass. She's not sad or mad. She starts laughing.
"Are you okay?" Chloe says, rushing over to check.
"Oh yeah, maybe just a sore ass, but hey," Beca shrugs with a small smirk.
"Oh my god," Chloe laughs again, sticking her hand out to help Beca back into her feet. "Can I help you again?" Chloe looks into Becas eyes. Her eyes totally fell down to Beca's lips and back up to her dark blue eyes.
"Yes, please.." Beca says slowly but can't help but notice Chloe's eyes dodging down to her lips. (She definitely wasn't asking Chloe to help her with skating when she said yes, please)
Chloe knocks out of her hay dream. She nods, licking her lips slightly and skating behind Beca.
"Wait, where are you going?" Beca asks, confused, turning her head to look at Chloe.
"Look forward, dork" Chloe laughs a little and sets her hands on Becas's waist. Chloe can feel Beca tense slightly. "Is this okay?"
"Y-yeah," Beca stutters.
"Okay, bend a little in the knees.." Chloe whispers.
"K" Beca does as she's told.
"Now check your feet," Chloe whispers again. Beca does so and nods a little. "Okay, now skate forward.." Chloe moves a hand up on Becas shoulder to make sure she doesn't lean too forward, as that seems to be what the problem has been.
"Okay... I'm going to let go" (it was just like training a child to ride a bike for the first time.. except the child was this 23-year-old brunette.) Beca starts slowly moving against the ice while Chloe moves against her backside of her, holding on.
Chloe lets go, and Beca starts gliding across the ice, moving her feet and, most importantly, not falling on her ass. Beca continues going forward, and she starts to pick up speed before she realizes she doesn't know how to stop. "W-wait, Chloe, how do you stop?!" Beca says as she crashes into the barricade wall.
--
After a while, if Beca is perfecting her skating skills, the girls decide to do one more lap around the rink before they decide it's time to go. They skate side by side before Chloe reaches out and gently intertwines their hands, only this time, the physical touch doesn't seem to make Beca tense up, and Chloe notices. She smiles a little at it.
"What's so funny?" Beca asks curiously.
"Nothing.. just that you're cute," Chloe smiles. The compliment, on the other hand, makes Beca blush a small tint of red.
"Thank you... you too," Beca says shyly.
Chloe lets out a small chuckle and leans into Beca a little, and kisses her cheek. "You missed," Beca says, stopping using her newly learned skill.
"I miss-" Chloe goes to ask with stitched eyebrows before Beca cuts her off with a kiss on the lips. "Oh, I see, I missed," Chloe says, separating just for a second before kissing Beca right back again, placing both her hands on Becas cheeks and Becas hands resting on Chloe's hips, pulling her in slightly to the very heated but sweet and passionate kiss.
A few minutes later, they both pull away, out of breath. "Damn, Chloe, you know it's already hard enough for me to stay up on the ice without you kissing me" Beca laughs a little, and Chloe smiles.
"Hey, you kissed me!" Chloe laughs.
"Won't be the last time, I hope" Becas laugh disappears into a soft smile, looking hopeful at Chloe.
"Definitely," Chloe bites her lip with a smile.
--
They both get off the ice and return their shoes. Chloe reaches out and gently takes Becas's hand. Beca takes it with no hesitation, and they walk out of the skating rink.
"Can I walk you to your car?" Beca asks.
"Sure," Chloe smiles and starts skipping letting go of Becas hand. She starts humming, 'Mr. Perfectly fine by Taylor swift' as she skips ahead of Beca.
Beca just can't help but smile more at the happy ginger in front of her. "What song are you humming?"
"Mr. Perfectly fine," Chloe spins around, now walking backward, facing Beca.
"First, you're gonna fall, dork. Second isn't that song about a guy who is a dick" Beca smirks as soon as Chloe trips slightly in front of her.
"Shut up," Chloe says jokingly, looking at Becas smirk. "Anyway, yes, that's what the songs are about. What about it?" Chloe smiles and spins back around to start skipping again.
"Well, I thought our date here went well, but you're here humming, beautifully, by the way, a song about a dick hole of a guy," Beca shrugs a little.
Chloe gets to her car and leans against it looking at Beca. "Oh trust me, are date went incredibly way, don't get me wrong, I consistently have Taylor swift stuck in my head."
"Oh, that's a deal breaker," Beca smirks. Chloe knows it's a joke and just shakes her head. Beca walks close to Chloe putting her arms on her hips and looking up into her eyes.
"Oh, trust me, I'll have you loving her; if not, it'll be a Cruel Summer," Chloe teases.
"Oh my god, you're ridiculous" Beca rolls her eyes with a laugh. "I'll have to get in a Getaway Car."
"Oh, so you're definitely a Swiftie" Chloe bites her lip and puts her arms around Becas neck.
"Mm, sure if that's what you want to call me, but you tell anyone and-"
"We'll never ever get back together," Chloe interrupts Beca to say.
"That's not what I was gonna say, but sure," Beca laughs a little before leaning in and kissing Chloe's lips in a gentle and slow kiss. They kiss for a few momments, Beca arching her back into Chloe just enough for there are bodies to be touching. All till Chloe's phone dings, and they both pull away.
"Sorry," Chloe says as she checks her phone. "Oh hey, my sister wants me to watch her dog... I'm sorry-"
"Don't say sorry," Beca interrupts you. "Have fun. I hope to see you again" Beca smiles and gives Chloe's lips one more peck before moving away from her. "Bye, Chloe," she waves her hand and walks to her car.
Beca took one last look and found herself lost in CHlo'es deep blue eyes. She wanted to race to her but also didn't want to ruin their perfect night. One thing was sure. She knew it wasn't gonna be long till she called the redhead again.
