It was obvious, really, when one knew what to look for.

Amy noticed first, during practice one day. Everyone was going over choreography for the upcoming performance, and Beca just wasn't getting the second turn correctly. After the third time Chloe showed her, and Beca shifted too far to left once again, the redhead sighed and hung her head.

"Bree! A little help here?" Amy watched the brunette's facial expression lighten up a bit at the mention of their captain.

"I've got it Chlo. Go help Stacie keep her hands, well, anywhere but her breast would be nice." Aubrey stepped up behind Beca and shooed her best friend away.

"Beca, you're always full of trouble aren't you. Do you even pay attention to what goes on here?"

"I'm sorry. What did you say Bree?" It looked like Aubrey had to grit her teeth together to stop from responding. Her only reaction was to grab ahold of Beca's hips, and pull the shorter girl's back into her own front.

Amy was very curious to see how Beca -touch me and you die- Mitchell would react to this. Her jaw almost hit the floor when she saw Beca put her left hand over Aubrey's while they began to twist into the turn. Halfway through the second move of the turn and Beca was swiping her hair from her eyes. The blond stopped them and reached into the others back pocket, pulling out a hair tie. Still stuck to her spot, Amy watched as Beca leaned back slightly and let the other pull her hair into a messy bun, an act that looked liked they had done it a hundred times before. After the second time going through the moves correctly, finally, Aubrey made her way to where the dumbfounded Bella still stood.

"Oh...uhh..Shit…Ummm" Amy's eyes shot between her two friends as she tried to make a complete sentence. Because really, how are they so obvious, yet no one realizes?

"Amy! Get back to practice!"

ABABABABAB

Stacie noticed at the coffee shop a week later. Chloe had offered to let her join herself and Aubrey for a study session. Stacie very much appreciated the help, seeing as she had the same pre med classes the redhead had taken the year before.

An hour after they arrived, Stacie needed to rest her eyes. She leaned back in her chair while drinking her latte to relax. From the corner of her eye she saw Aubrey pick up her phone and smile. Two more times, the blonde looked at her phone, only responding to the text messages she was receiving once. The smirk on her face made Stacie smile to herself. It looked like her uptight friend had a boyfriend. Or boytoy at the very least.

Ten minutes later, the bell above the coffee shop's door rang and Stacie glanced up to see Beca stomping her way to their table. Chloe looked up at the same time she did, while Aubrey kept her nose in her book. The tall brunette couldn't help but notice the same smirk from earlier back on the blondes face.

"Hey Becs! I didn't know you were joining us today." Stacie was promptly ignored as Beca sat her laptop on top of Aubrey's textbook.

"Hello to you too Beca. How may I help you today?" The blondes right eyebrow was slightly raised as she sat back in her chair.

"Fix it Posen. Now!" Beca pulled the top of her laptop up and quickly turned it on before pointing to the screen again. Sharing a confused glance with the redhead next to her, they both shot out of their seats to take a look at what had offended the DJ so much.

"Oh my god! Aubrey you are a genius!" Chloe was laughing so hard she had fallen back into her seat, as Stacie leaned against a seething Beca. There, as the background to the DJ's beloved laptop, was decently photoshopped picture of Beca, sitting in Justin Bieber's embrace.

"Why thank you Stacie." The blonde looked up to Beca, with the smirk still on her face.

"Posen, I will count to five. And my computer better be Bieber free. One!"

"Beca, Beca, Beca. You really should password protect something so valuable you know."

"Two Posen."

"And I do hope you have learned your lesson. Next time it may be something much worse than this."

"Three and my patience is running thin."

"Honestly. It's just a picture. You could get used to it."

"Four! You know what, screw it. Posen, fi-"

"Fine! Calm your pits Mitchell." Stacie watched as Aubrey quickly deactivated the lock she had put on the setting menu and changed the background to a picture of headphones before she closed the laptop. "Happy?"

Beca picked up her laptop and placed it back into her bag.

"I'm not unhappy." The Bella's captain leaned back over her textbook and Stacie sat back down since the fun seemed to be over. Chloe had already gone back to her own books as well.

"Next time you change the ringtone on my phone to Backstreet Boys, your screensaver will be the last of your worries Mitchell."

"Thank you. And...I guess i'm sorry about your phone Bree." Stacie stole one last glance at the pair as she saw Beca lean down to…..Holy crap... to press a quick kiss the the blondes cheek.

"Your welcome, Beca." Stacie watched in amazement as Aubrey continued to look at her textbook as Beca walked away without another word. She looked to Chloe, hoping that the redhead had seen the exchange as well. Unfortunately it seemed that she was the only one.

The rest of the study session was pointless for Stacie. The only thing she could concentrate on was how very obvious it was now that she thought about it. How had no one else seen it sooner?
