AN: So my muse went on a long tropical holiday about oh 5 or so years ago. I've written nought but Buffy/Faith and Xena/Gab and that was many years ago. So then along comes Bechloe (which quickly became an obsession, mind you) and my muse came sniffing about again. This can stand on it's own but I hear her sniffing around again so there may be a sequel along soon. Unbetaed so all mistakes are mine.

As always, dedicated to my heart and soul, my better half of almost 10yrs.

"You are such a weirdo." Beca stated as she wrapped her arms around Jesse's neck and pulled him towards her. The second his lips touched hers she knew it was wrong. She liked the guy sure, but not enough to be doing this with him. It would only get his hopes up especially when she thought she might have feelings for someone else. There was just no spark either which didn't bode well for the boy. All she had wanted to do was thank him for being there for her.

A flash of red hair in her mind had the DJ pulling herself back from the Treble. She could see the disappointment written clearly on his face as he too realised there was something missing.

After a long moment, he shrugged before saving Beca from the awkwardness he said "I guess that's not gonna work. I really like you though Beca and I'd like us to still be friends."

The brunette couldn't believe he was taking this so well after he spent so long chasing her. She was glad her first thought of him as a good guy was proving correct.

As he finished speaking he happened to look over Beca's shoulder and spotted Chloe staring at them looking unbelievably devastated before turning and running out of the auditorium and something suddenly clicked in Jesse's mind as flashbacks of conversations he and Beca had had over the previous year ran through his mind.

The DJ being barged in on in the showers. Being coerced into auditions. The further into the year they got the further he'd watched the friendship deepen. He recalled brief moments of jealousy when he'd come across them together, seeing how easily Beca allowed the other woman into her space and actually touch her when everyone knew the brunette was most definitely not touchy feely. Hearing rumours of Chloe's fluid sexuality among the aca-folk at parties. As he looked back at Beca he wondered if the girl was aware of her own feelings as even now he could see her attention leaving him as her eyes wandered, searching for someone.

"So uh... I'll catch you back at Barden then?" The DJ spoke wanting nothing more than to get back to the Bellas and continue celebrating after the anti climax of kissing Jesse. Maybe a certain red head would be available to hang. Beca wasn't into over analysing things and really didn't want to look too deep into why she even liked 'hanging' with Chloe. But she knew there was something there that she couldn't explain so she just went with it and luxuriated in whatever time she could get with the other Bella.

"Sure."

She turned to leave but Jesse spoke, delaying her.

"Oh Beca, one last little thing. You might wanna chase your girlfriend. She looked rather upset."

The DJ spun back to face him.

"Chloe is so not my girlfr- wait she's upset? Which way did she go?" The brunette's desire to make sure the ginger was okay over rode her desire to argue about the state of her relationship with the other girl. She seemed to be doing the defensive thing over that a lot lately now that she thought about it.

Jesse grinned at her, winking. "I can see your toner. Go make sure she's okay, would you? I don't think she likes me much." He pointed. "She headed that way."

The Treble didn't have a chance to say much else as Beca turned and headed off in the direction he pointed but not before she tossed over her shoulder, "I so do not have a toner."

Jessie's laughter rang faintly in her ears as she left him behind.
