"Now turn around and- aah! You look so good!" Patton exclained, jumping up and down on the spot and beaming at his boyfriend.
Virgil half-smiled. "Thanks, Pat."
"Oh, wow, you are just so, so, so talented, honey!" Patton continued. "Just look at all these details!"
He ran his hand down Virgil's sleeve, feeling the soft material and all of the stitches and other little details. Patton's outfit matched Virgil's - it was the same costume, just in his size and blue instead of purple.
The couple had been working on their Halloween costumes since the month had first begun, though Virgil had done most of the details, as he was the talented one of the two when it came to making costumes. Patton did most of the moral support, though, and Halloween was their mutual favourite time of year because of this tradition.
Virgil laughed nervously, reaching up and running his fingers through his dyed purple hair. He glanced away awkwardly, a little startled by the sudden positive attention.
"Uh.. I mean, it's not that big of a deal."
Patton blew a raspberry. "I think it is! I love them, and they make me very, very happy."
Virgil met his eye, looking for any sign of insincerity. It saddened Patton that Virgil always felt the need to check that Patton's compliments were genuine, but he waited patiently for Virgil to check every time.
"Well, I am kinda proud of this one," Virgil admitted. "I think this is some of my best work, honestly."
"I love all of your work," Patton said. "But I think this is my fave of all the costumes we've worn together! You really outdid yourself this time, honey."
"Yeah, we are gonna crush Janus and Remus."
"A little mean, but I like the attitude!"
