Together they tried to slink out if the bar as inconspicuously as their drunken selves would allow.

The girl tried to grab the attention of a cab, waving wildly and shouting for it to stop. However, while she was standing upright, 2-D could see that she was too short for even a pedestrian to notice. He raised a lanky arm into the street, and without even a minute passing by, a bright yellow car pulled over. The pair quickly packed themselves into the backseat.

"Where to?" a man asked with a slight French accent.

"2173 Crenshaw Avenue," the girl chimed.

The growl of the engine rang through 2-D's ears as the taxi pulled off into the night. Once again, he cautiously peered out the window, making sure Murdoc was far away where he couldn't hurt him.

"What was that about?" she whispered.

"Long story. It's just-I dunno. Just a bunch of fings that don't make sense," 2-D babbled before staring into his lap, communicating his trauma with his knotted brows and hopeless frown. The girl gave him an understanding look and rubbed his arm empathetically. 2-D nestled his head in the crook of her shoulder. It seemed to 2-D like they could have remained frozen like that forever, but the thought quickly fled his head when the car screeched to a stop.

"Fifty one," the driver stated blankly.

Before the girl could reach for her wallet, 2-D pulled out his own and handed his credit card up front.

"I could have handled that," she whined.

"It's the least I could do. I mean, you're letting me stay wif you at your place," he said as he slipped his credit card back into his pocket and opened the car door.

"Fine," she rolled her eyes. "Mr. Gentlemen," she mocked, hysterically giggling at her own joke.

"Hey. I didn't mean to offend you or anyfink. Just trying to be nice."

The girl playfully shoved 2-D, tripping over her feet in the process.

"I'm soo drunk," she gurgled as they approached the door to the red brick apartment building. As he beamed at her goofy stagger, 2-D felt goosebumps erupt all over his skin, a frigid gust blowing in his direction. The girl fumbled with her keys for a moment before finally opening the door to the apartment complex, unleashing a blast of warm air She lumbered up the stairs, 2-D following behind her, gripping the railing tightly, afraid to fall.

After four flights of stairs, the girl finally announced far too loudly, "We're heeere! " She teetered as she struggled to walk to her apartment. 2-D grinned at her childish charm. He sped up to match her stride, and finally took a stance beside her at the door. In the harsh fluorescent light of the hallway, he could finally make out the details of her face. 2-D inspected her features as she clumsily fidgeted with her keys. As he worked his way down her face, he noticed a finely groomed pair of brows, several wisps of hair framing her face, and two doe eyes that looked at him curiously as he leaned unsteadily against the door frame. His gaze finally settled on a pair of chapped lips, pouting in drunken concentration. Without much thought, 2-D leaned over and kissed them.
