Hey, I have a prompt (AU) in mind where Beca and Chloe meet at a hostel (in another country) as backpackers, both traveling alone but deciding to travel together. And falling in love :) I really admire your writing skills ♥️ Greetings from Germany! From which part of Germany do you come from?

greetings my friend!! i’m super busy because i’m working on something big so this is all i could come up with but hey, hope you’re still gonna enjoy it!💕 ______

Beca’s backpack was heavy on her shoulders as she finally entered the hostel she’d been longing for all day. She sighed happily as the cool air hit her face, a few strands of her hair sticking to her sweaty forehead. She had been walking through the unbearable heat all day, for the past three, actually, and it was starting to really get to her. She was more than just a little relieved when she stepped up to the counter, knowing that a comfortable bed in an air conditioned room was going to await her soon enough.

The woman behind the counter was smiling empathetically at her already and Beca simply returned the grin before she finally set her bag to the floor, looking around the small lounge in the process of doing so. There were some people drinking, music was playing in the background and they all seemed to have fun. Beca guessed that most of them were, just like her, backpackers.

The woman was still smiling at Beca when she turned to face her again. “Welcome! What can I do for you?”

“I just need a room for tonight,” Beca smiled, then frowned. It took a few seconds for her to realize that the cute redhead who had suddenly appeared next to her had asked for the exact same thing. They both grinned sheepishly as their eyes met.

Beca ran her hand through her hair as she turned around again, the receptionist snapping her out of her haze and reminding her why she was here. “Well I’m very sorry but we’re pretty full already. There’s only one room left.”

The brunette frowned, then, just like the redhead next to her, biting her lip thoughtfully. They both desperately wanted that room, wanted to finally get some rest. At least Beca thought so, considering that the other girl was wearing a huge backpack as well and was sweating at least as much as she was herself. She, however, tried not to think about how hot the other girl was nonetheless. There was no denying she had been instantly attracted to her. And so she did the only thing that seemed plausible in that moment, without thinking, of course. She was a sucker for pretty girls, thinking was optional, barely impossible around them. Especially when she wanted to impress them.

“It’s cool, you can take it,” she smiled softly, trying to hide her disappointmemt. She’d just have to find another place. The beam that the redhead shot her made it completely worth it, too.

Though said beam quickly turned into a thoughtful frown. “Thank you but, I really can’t accept that…”

“Oh sure you can, I’ll just go somewhere els-”

“How about we both take it??” The redhead sounded perhaps a bit too enthusiastic and Beca had to bite the inside of her cheek to stop herself from laughing as she watched the girl compose herself again, trying to play it cool. “I mean, it’s just one night, right? It’s easier that way. And cheaper, too. Would save us both a lot of troubl-”

“You don’t have to try to convince me,” Beca chuckled, her hands in her pockets, and then nodded at the receptionist. “I’m in. We’ll both take the room.”

“Well I’ll just have to let you both know that there’s only one bed. A rather small one. Is that a problem?”

“Not at all!!!” The redhead had spoken too quick again, making Beca laugh. She couldn’t deny that she, too, didn’t mind sharing a bed with the other girl. The opposite, in fact. She was looking forward to it, actually, though she had no idea what to expect. Which she didn’t mind either. It was why she was doing this whole trip in the first place; meeting new people, trying out new things. And if those things just so happened to include sharing a bed with a very attractive stranger, she definitely wasn’t going to complain. It seemed like a rather pleasent, if somewhat awkward, way to experience something new.

She realized she was supposed to say something when the other girl shot her a somewhat panicked look, perhaps hoping that she hadn’t been too quick to assume. Of course she hadn’t been and Beca simply smirked at her with a soft nod. “Not a problem at all.”

“Well here are your keys then! Have a goodnight!” Beca thought she could make out a little smirk on the woman’s lips as she handed her the keys and she couldn’t blame her. They had both been painfully obvious.

Making their way to their room, both girls kept grinning at each other, breaking the silence once they arrived at their small room.

“I’m Chloe, by the way,” the girl with the curly hair smiled happily as she sat her backpack on the floor, sighing in relief just like Beca when she did the same a few seconds later.

“Well, it’s nice to meet you and…you know, share a bed with you, Chloe,” the smirk on Beca’s lips was very apparent as she shot the other girl a cocky wink. “I’m Beca.”

To her own surprise, she had actually managed to make Chloe blush. Chloe, who was now quickly heading towards the tiny bathroom they’d have to share. “Is it okay if I take a shower first? I promise I’m super quick!”

“Go ahead,” Beca shrugged simply as she got rid of her shoes and let herself fall on the bed, staring at the ceiling as she heard the bathroom door close and the shower turn on.

She didn’t move until she heard Chloe sing, perking up at the wonderful sound, then grinned at herself, at how ridiculous she was acting. And yet she kept listening to the other girl for a while before she got up to grab her water bottle. She was thirsty and tired, hoping that Chloe was done soon so she could finally get ready as well, get some much needed rest.

Though she wasn’t sure if she was actually going to get some rest when she looked up and saw Chloe stand in the doorway, wearing nothing but her underwear. Her ridiculously cute underwear that she somehow managed to turn into something quite hot. Beca just hoped that she was going to be able to do the same with the spiderman boxers she was wearing. Except that her own underwear was the last thing she could think about in that moment, all of her focus on Chloe’s instead as she looked at her with wide eyes, barely able to tear her gaze away from the beautiful sight in front of her that quite literally let her mouth go dry.

She didn’t even manage to stutter out comprehendable words, making Chloe giggle by failing miserably at trying to put her feelings into words. At trying to act like a normal human being and play things cool, like she wasn’t completely freaking out.

“See something you like?” Chloe wiggled her eyebrows as she went to get something out of her bag, bending down completely and giving Beca a beautiful view of her ass. Beca, who was now sprinting towards the bathroom door.

“Y-yeah I’m just gonna…shower, uhh, it’s kind of hot in here, don’t you think?” She slammed the door shut before Chloe even had the chance to answer, leaning against it and desperately trying to control her breathing. She definitely wasn’t going to survive that night, at least not if Chloe was going to actually sleep like that.

Luckily for her, the cold shower really managed to calm her down again, though she was tempted to relief herself of all of the naughty thoughts in her mind. She decided against it, in the end, not wanting to give Chloe more reasons to tease her. Because she was totally going to get teased after that awfully embarrassing reaction, she knew she was.

And Beca herself left the bathroom in a somewhat better attire, only after taking a deep breath of course, now wearing an oversized shirt and said spiderman boy shorts. It really wasn’t any more appropriate, but at least she was wearing something.

And still, Chloe grinned at her, laying on the bed in nothing but her underwear, cocking her head to the side when she heard Beca approach the bed.

“Cute underwear,” she grinned, making the brunette roll her eyes.

“Cute pajamas,” Beca countered, both of them fully aware that she wasn’t wearing one. “Are you going to sleep like that, ooor…?”

She didn’t want to sound rude, not at all, and she would genuinely love to be close to the other girl while she wore nothing but these damn panties and that damn bra that barely covered anything. She just wasn’t quite sure if she’d be able to behave herself.

“Yep, sometimes I sleep naked, you can count yourself lucky that today’s not one of those days,” Chloe chirped bubbly as she cuddled up under the covers.

Beca simply scoffed. She couldn’t help but think that she really didn’t count herself all too lucky now that she knew that there was an even better option than seeing Chloe like this. She decided not to dwell on the redhead’s statement.

“I’m just going to sleep on the floor, the bed is pretty tiny…”

Chloe frowned, cocked her eyebrows and shifted to the side. “There’s plenty of space.”

“The floor’s fine..” Beca mumbled, groaning as she lay down on the hard, wooden floor. Perhaps all of this had been a stupid idea. Except that before she knew it, Chloe was already tugging on her arm and trying to get her on the bed after all.

“Dude, the floor’s cool, really!”

“Is it because I’m, you know… a girl?”

Beca almost laughed out loud. Surely Chloe must have realized how gay she was already. She almost felt bad when she saw the disappointed expression on the other girl’s face. “Are you serious?”

“What?”

Okay, perhaps Chloe was a little oblivious.

“The fact that you’re a girl really just makes me want this even more, which is kind of the problem here.”

Beca loved seeing Chloe’s mouth open in realization before she grinned at her. “Oh.”

“Yeah.”

“Well in that case, I’ll leave you no other choice but to share the bed with me!” She interrupted Beca as she tried to protest again. “No! Come here now and get comfy.”

Beca sighed as she did as she was told, a little smile now on her lips. The bed felt heavenly as she let herself down on it and cuddled up under the covers just like Chloe had. Her breathing was labored as she turned around to face the other girl.

“We should sleep,” Chloe yawned softly and Beca nodded, her cheeks now a shade of pink.

“Sleep, of course.”

They both closed their eyes then, but it was only a few minutes later that Chloe spoke up again.

“Where are you headed?”

Beca smiled softly. “Peru.”

“Peru, huh?” She could basically hear Chloe smirk, her eyes still closed. “Funny, that’s exactly where I’m going.”

Beca didn’t know if the other girl was serious or if she was lying just so they could, perhaps, spend some more time together. It was brave and pretentious and Beca decided that she liked it. Opening her eyes, she was now looking into blue ones. Losing herself in them.

“That is funny indeed.”

The brunette wasn’t quite sure if she was just imagining Chloe having shifted closer, but there was barely any space left between the two of them. She could almost feel the redhead’s breath on her lips and she couldn’t help but shiver.

“We should go together.”

They barely knew each other and it was absolutely crazy. And yet it was all that Beca needed to hear to lean just that tiny bit closer and press her lips against Chloe’s.
