A Matching Pair - drabbles

I will admit that I don't have any canon to back me up on these, but honestly? It should be canon.

I edited these down from some 'word of the day' drafts I found on my computer.

Ameliorate - 30/09/19

Most agents at U.N.C.L.E. were unremarkable in that they wore a suit to work. Some Individual agents were better dressed than others, but by and large the most adventurous they ever got was the occasional pinstripe. All except one pair who, much to Mr. Waverly’s displeasure, took a more casual attitude to their dress. Their clothing ranged in style and colour; a salmon pink shirt here, a bright yellow boot there, but they always included a tie to ameliorate themselves to Mr. Waverly. Yet despite their wide range of clothing, the two came into work in co-ordinated outfits every day.

Syzygy - 14/09/19

It was first noticed when Nell had landed the morning reception shift. The two agents didn’t make a habit of coming into headquarters together, so it wasn’t something immediately obvious, but on that particular Monday they’d happened to arrive one after the other. As they walked in, it immediately struck Nell that they wore matching ties and had both offset their outfits that day with green accents. She’d thought it so charming that she’d kept an eye on their outfits for the rest of the week. Their fashion syzygy was the talk of the secretarial pool for a month after.
