'Just get it over with.' Eric told himself. 'It'll hurt less then if you're forced to do it.'
He had accidentally spilled coffee on his favorite shorts, and the stain had settled. And he knew that if Hetty saw the stain, she'd make him wear pants.
'But I love these shorts! They're comfy, and the last time Hetty made me wear pants, they were itchy as hell! Just need to stay at the desk all day, then I'll change.'
'Everything okay, Beale?' It was Granger.
'Granger! Um, hello! Yes, yes everything's okay.' Eric stuttered, then realized he had turned around and was now facing Granger.
'You need to change those shorts.'
'I know I know. But there's nothing here that fits me, and the last time Hetty made me wear pants, it was hell. I was just, going to stay here all day and hopefully hide the stain.'
Granger took him to a part of the undercover closet that only had shorts.
'Whoa! I didn't even know this part of the closet even existed!' Eric exclaimed.
'It was my idea. Even Hetty can understand from time to time that you have your fashion preferences.' Granger replied.
'Thanks, sir!'
'Just don't make ruining your shorts a regular thing.'
