Hope liked the look of Lightning in her standard guardian corps uniform.
He really liked it.
It was different from the one she usually wore— this one came with a hat, and was the closest he was sure he'd ever get to seeing her in a something similar to a dress.
She wasn't happy to wear it, seeing as it was only for lower level grunts and her usual uniform had been ripped the day before while on patrol, but Hope couldn't have been more surprised at how she looked. Lightning looked cute. Maybe it was the hat, or the dress, but something about that uniform just made him need to excuse himself from the room to catch his breath.
And it wasn't as if Lightning didn't know.
She was a fan of Hope in his Academia uniform, after all.
