Attention
He wears glasses. Thin, square, white and delicate. They also lack the lower half of the frame, giving them a peculiar design. Miku would later learn that they were supported by something (a thin, transparent nylon wire, was it?)
"Semi-rimless" he told her when she asked. Because he's talkative like that.
She likes them. He often wears them when reading, studying or playing videogames. Sometimes, even when he's using his phone. Not all the time, mind you, he says they're so he can rest his eyes, but still…
He looks damn good in them.
So, she pays attention when he wears them, when his eyes are covered by the glass and he's biting his lower lip because something in his book is interesting, or chewing on the end of a pencil while taking notes. While his focus is n his current activity, she focuses on him. Sometimes, she thinks he knows she's watching, because he puts on a show: he licks his lips slowly, moves his hair out of his face, pushes his glasses up the bridge of his nose.
The tease, he knows she's watching.
And she must stare more, must pay even more attention, so she doesn't miss a single detail or movement. It's a game to them, a constant competition to see who gives in faster. Will he snap, forget his book, his game, his whatever and jump at her? Will she finally cut the tension because when he bites the tip of his finger is simply sinful? Who?
Miku shivers at the idea. She loves this boy.
But what she loves the most is when he's in bed, reading a book, because he lets his hair loose and wears those damn glasses, and it's guaranteed that he will win that game. She simply can't keep her eyes away when he does that, nor resist the impulse to run her fingers through the silky locks, nor…
He turns the page, and she returns to their living room. They're alone, her head on his shoulder, and he's reading. He's not wearing his glasses, which is strange. Doesn't he need them?
He smirks, as if he had read her mind, and dog-ears the page to continue reading later. Instead, he looks at her and chuckles lowly, smoothly.
"Oh, this?" he asks, and taps right beside his eyes. She nods, mesmerized "I'm wearing contact lenses, why? Don't you like them?"
