Felix Unger/Oscar Madison

Felix Unger, Oscar Madison

Drabble, Inspired by Music, Source: Genesis, Source: Peter Gabriel

Felix's problem is...frighteningly simple.

His way of caring for people is doing things for them - not having difficult conversations, not trading favors, not indulging their fantasies, just...could it even be called "acts of service" if it were more of a new-age-lexicon phenomenon?

He likes cooking for people. He likes buying strange and eccentric gifts. He likes taking photographs and encouraging community service and presenting surprises and cleaning especially, because cleaning is therapeutic for all his sensibilities, and...

He likes taking care of Oscar.

Oscar is frighteningly easy to take care of.

He cares for Oscar so, so much.
