Elmo was shitfaced, obviously. Not just on the amount of alcohol she consumed over the course of the night, but the drugs too. New Year’s was one big celebration, and it got bigger and bigger each year. The parties were enormous, and she couldn’t help but tag along and enjoy the ride. She smashed out with her band, drank and drank, and focused on Big Bird for the majority of the time because she was beautiful underneath the light. It was no secret that Elmo had a crush on Big Bird, she blushed every time. 

When she felt familiar arms around her body, a lopsided smirk crossed Elmo’s lips, nuzzling into the touch of Big Bird. “Hi baby bird,” she cooed, running her own fingers through the other’s hand and down her back, pulling her body against her own to keep her close but also upright. They could overdo it, but she knew that they’d probably just keep going until something bad happened.

However, at this moment, nothing bad was happening. Before Elmo could continue, she felt Big Bird’s lips on hers and it felt like fireworks went off. It was warm and sensual and she almost couldn’t get enough. “Happy new year to you too, baby bird,” Elmo whispered as she brushed the hair away from Bird’s face with both of her hands and brushed it behind her ears, focusing on her eyes. “I hope it’s a good one.” 

“ Come on! Shut em! ”  She pulls a free hand from her pocket, putting her palm over the other woman’s eyes for her. Big Bird can’t help but giggle though.  “ Hold out your hand now. ”  She fished the gift from her pocket, a necklace on a slender chain with a golden wing charm dangling at the bottom. Slowly draping it into Elmo’s palm, she pressed the other’s fingers shut, and pulled her hand from Elmo’s eyes. “ Okay, now you can look. ”

“ I mean, we have to start somewhere, right? ”  Big Bird was pretty sure that video dating was still a thing the last time Oscar had been in the pool. But it’s 2019, people can get everything from food, to car rides, to girlfriends and boyfriends online.  “ I know he’s not going to warm up to it right away, but I figured if I can get my hands on his phone and do it for him, maybe show him how it works … ? ”  A partial shrug. What’s the worst that can happen?

“Wow...,” Elmo let out a surprised chuckle when Birdy mentions Tinder. “Tinder? You really think it’s going to work? I mean--- if anyone can get him on the internet, let alone a dating site, it’s you, baby bird.” She hopes it would actually work, but who knows? Grouch was just naturally grumpy. But, she did have faith in Birdy and their determination within the situation. “Plus, I think it’s easier than dragging him to work with you for someone else to take care of.” 

“Actually, I couldn’t care less whether I make Elmo sad. I don’t like people, I don’t like singing, I don’t like going out. So why the hell should I go to karaoke?”

“ Uh, duh! That’s the fun! ”  The object shifted around in her pocket, danced between her fingers. She kept her hands jammed deep in them, swinging the fabric of her jacket back and forth. Bird leans over her slightly, beaming.  “ Come ooooooooon. No peeking. Those are the rules. ”
