Mace hated going out in public in uniform. It drew way too much attention from the wrong people. He'd get "Thank you for your service" all the time, though he's cocky, hearing thank you for your service is very annoying and he'd rather not hear it. Then there's the high school boys that dedicate their lives to the military and are just so weird about it.

There are also rules about the uniform as well, rules you did not care for. A significant one is no holding hands in uniform, that was a very easy one to ignore as his partner. You kept trying to slide your hand into his, but he was quick to pull away.

"Not allowed to hold hands in uniform, you know that," he scolds. Pulling his hand away once again.
