"Do you think Chloe would appreciate a change in mind of an in-the-closet Aubrey if she found out the only reason Aubrey agreed to finally be open about their relationship was so Beca would have to back off?"

No. She would want Aubrey to do it because she wanted to, not because she felt threatened by someone else. I'm pretty sure it'd be bittersweet for her.

Appreciate it? Probably not as much as she might understand it. She'd understand Aubrey's reluctance (hence, closet) and at the same time, she'd probably not appreciate the closet since by the same token, their relationship is on the downlow.

Oh dear...this is interesting. I think part of her would be a little happy that she "came out" and didn't feel the need to hide it. But...that Beca kicker is a gut punch. Especially because it would be coming from being threatened, not from comfort.
I feel like Aubrey would try to hide her actual "final straw reasoning" from Chloe at first, but knowing Aubrey she'd also slip up and give into the satisfaction of purposely phrasing it to make sure Beca took note. And Chloe's perspective; I see her noticing how pleased Aubrey is when they walk away.
Yeah, I think Chloe would feel really conflicted about it. She's really happy that she can hold Aubrey's hand in public (at least on campus; Aubrey has only consented to telling the Bellas for now. Even though that probably means everyone will know by the next day). But she'd ask Aubrey what made her finally decide, and "I just thought now was the time" isn't an acceptable reason. And when Aubrey confesses she wanted to make sure Beca got the message I see Chloe being upset.
