Appearances
Felix glanced at himself in the mirror with intent, looking himself up and down to make sure no hair, no button, nor was any other minor detail out of place. The arcade would open in ten minutes and it was imperative he looked his best and everything was in order. He prided himself as being a clean and tidy person, making sure he looked presentable for any occasion and after marrying Sergeant Calhoun, his fetish for personal grooming and appearances only intensified.
He tugged at his collar, affixing it just so and turning it down, nodding approvingly and admiring the crisp, clean, and ironed lines. In the mirror's reflection, he saw Tammy approaching him from behind and he smiled. He hated the fact they were from separate games and that every day they'd have to say goodbye, even if only for the duration of the arcade's hours.
She knelt down and kissed the back of his head. "Looking sharp there, sweetums."
He beamed. "Why thank you, mi'lady."
She turned him around and furrowed her brow, examining his appearance extensively. "But you know what?" She tilted her head and brought her hands to his collar, undoing the top-most button, exposing a sliver of skin beneath the fabric.
"That's better."
He turned around and gave a cynical glance into the mirror, shivering as the room's cool air touched his skin. The cool air didn't bother him as much as the showing of so much skin did. He loved his wife very much but sometimes her modernized ideals seemed a bit frivolous. He shrugged, letting a sigh escape his lips. "I don't know, Tammy. Seems a little much, don't you think?"
"Nah, it's not like you're naked or anything. Plus, it makes you look," she paused, making a humming sound in her throat. "Debonair."
Felix caught himself blushing and tugged at his collar again. Maybe having one undone button wasn't so bad, especially if she thought so. And plus, appearances aren't everything, are they?
