The Suit and Tie Meme
Congratulations. If your character is in this meme, it doesn't matter if they're male, female, humanoid or not - if they're tagging in or waiting it out - they're now sporting the classiest of suits and ties. Is there an event? Some bizarre clothing swap? Are you spies, other kinds of professionals? Don't ask. That's for you to answer. Just enjoy the formalwear.

"You look amazing, honey," she whispers when she finally breaks away. "Everyone is going to be so jealous of me."

That's a relief. Then again, he wouldn't mind terribly walking around with her smeared lipstick all over his face. She's fucking gorgeous. IT'd be like a trophy. He'd sure worn it around the first time she kissed him.
"Dunno about that. Thinkin' it might be the other way around."

Yes, well, making a statement when it's just you wandering the halls is one thing, making the same statement when you have to go to a military function is quite another. Rhoda wouldn't allow it, sadly. Maybe some other time he can let her mark him up like that.
"Oh, you have no idea." They're going to be in tabloids, her face is going to be all over the internet, everyone will want to know who Chuck Hansen has on his arm. And why it's not them.
"We're going to be late, c'mon."
no subject
"Do we have to go?" He's nudging her against the doorframe, dipping his head to mouth a little at her neck.
"Could stay here...'s nice and warm and cozy..."
no subject
"I am not letting you make us late, Ranger."
Her threat would be more threatening if she could keep from giggling as she said it. It's not her fault, his lips on her neck is tickling, okay. She clings to his lapels and makes a half hearted effort to squirm away.
"Maybe, maybe we can duck out early."
no subject
His arms go around her waist and draw her in tight, mouth moving up towards her ear.
"You sure? I could think of loads of other things that I'd rather be doing with you...to you..."
He nips at her ear, as if to make a point.

"We are not missing this, Charles."
She thumps him on the chest with her fist, still sort of trying to squirm away, even if what he's suggesting is incredibly tempting. "Stop trying to distract me."
no subject
He groans.
"Why can't we miss it?"
It's just....politics...and being around people he doesn't like.
no subject
"Because I said so."
She huffs a little and leans away so she can see his face, reaching up to stroke his cheeks with satin-covered fingers. "Because you're a hero and a symbol of resilience and people will want to see your face and shake your hand and tell you that they're grateful for all that you've done."
Her lips quirk a little in a wry moue. "I know you don't like it, Chuck, but it's important. Not just for me, but for everybody."
no subject
"Bloody hell you make it sound awful."
But he sighs and relents because she's right and this is important and she really does look fantastic, and he can't turn her down.
"Fine. Lets go, love."
no subject
She stretches up to kiss him gently, then steps back and smooths the front is his suit again.
"Thank you, honey."
She waits until they're on their way out the door before she leans in close and whispers, "I promise I'll make it up to you later tonight."
no subject
"Yeah?" He glances at her, eyes glittering a little. "Like that plan."
no subject
He's such a boy.
Resisting the urge to roll her eyes, Rhoda slides her arm through his and lets him use her as a replacement cane if he needs to, her heels clacking along across the steel floor beneath them as they head out towards the hangar bay.
no subject
He does lean on her, because there's no way in hell that he's bringing that thing out tonight - regardless of the fact that it kind of makes him look pretty fucking dapper. So, he's using her for balance and stability, walking right there with her.
It's a night of annoying political small talk, but he does manage to steal her away for a dance or three.
And no, she isnt' dancing with anyone else except maybe his dad. Maybe.
