AN: Thank you for the lovely reviews, I hope you enjoy this. Love to hear if you liked it.
"And you're telling me you don't have any trouble seeing?" Hunter asked sarcastically.
Blaine bit his lips. "Okay, maybe sometimes..." He said.
"How about we make it 'every time text isn't about a foot high?" Hunter asked snippily.
Blaine rolled his eyes but then thought about it for a second and nodded hesitantly.
Hunter laughed. "Don't worry. We'll get you out of your misery now and fit you with a pair of glasses?" He asked as he moved the phoropter in front of Blaine's face and "Okay, look at the E and tell me, is this better?"
When Hunter pressed a button Blaine's eyes widened. He couldn't hold back a quiet "wow."
Hunter smiled. "I'm assuming that IS better?" He asked happily. He loved the reaction people had when they saw properly for the first time in ages.
Blaine nodded. "I can read all of the lines now." He said in surprise.
"Well that's great, Blaine. I'm going to go to the next few lines now and you tell me what you can read." Hunter explained and pressed another few buttons.
Blaine read out the first line without too much of a problem but struggled with the next one. "Try guessing if you can." Hunter said simply.
Blaine looked at him awkwardly. Guessing? Why would he guess, that didn't make any sense. Well Hunter would have his reasons... "I think it's E, P a D or an O and I don't know about the next one." He said honestly.
"Okay, then focus on the line above please." Hunter said and changed a few things. They repeated this game a few times for both eyes. "I think we're almost done now. Is this better or worse?" He asked.
Blaine tried thinking about it. "It looks the same..."
"Well that's good. And how about this..." He put up a new thing. "Which one's clearer? Red or green?"
"Red." Blaine said. Hunter put a new lens in. "Now it's the same, I think." Blaine added.
"We got it and I must say it's impressive that you got away with this for so long." Hunter said laughing. "You are actually moderately to highly shortsighted and most people start wearing their glasses full time at about a third of your prescription."
Blaine blushed. "Well, uhmm..." He didn't know what to say.
"Hey, don't worry about it. You'll just be amazed when you get your glasses, though." Hunter put his hand on Blaine's shoulder.
"I can get contacts, right?" Blaine asked hastily.
Hunter chuckled. "Well, yes. But it takes some getting used to. At the beginning they will probably feel really odd and I don't advice you to wear them more than a few hours straight."
Blaine sighed. He'd lived without glasses for years, so he'd hopefully be able to go without them when he wasn't able to wear contacts. "Okay, thank you, Hunter."
"You're a very polite young man." Hunter smirked. "Ask your mum for help when choosing frames, you won't be able to see them properly." He joked.
"God you're sassy." Blaine said quietly. "Can I leave now? Please."
Hunter nodded. "Have a good day Blaine. And come back in six months."
"You too." Blaine just said 'we'll see about the six months thing' he added in his head and left.
"Cheerful young man..." Hunter said loud enough for Blaine to hear while typing on his computer.
Pam was waiting outside. "How was it?"
"Terrible." Blaine said angrily. "I need glasses."
Pam laughed. "Didn't see that one coming..."
"Not you too. Fucking everyone's so cocky. Can you please just feel sorry for me for a moment."
Pam chuckled. "I'm sorry, honey. It does sound terrible." She said, holding back a grin.
"How about these?" Pam asked. Holding up a pair of frameless glasses.
Blaine got close enough to see. He exaggerated a disgusted shiver. "NO!"
Paul grinned. "Okay, how about these?" She asked patiently. They had been at the optician's for what felt like an hour and she wasn't getting a good reaction from Blaine for any of these. The one's she was showing him now were dark, roundish, acetate frames.
Blaine looked a little closer. They actually looked okay. He put them on and looked at himself in the hand mirror. He wrinkled his nose. "I don't have a face for glasses, mum. How about I don't get any?" He sounded hopeful.
Pam rolled her eyes. "Yes you do, these look gorgeous, honey. I think we found you the perfect pair. And you need glasses, Blaine. You can't just get contacts."
"Okaaaay." Blaine said dramatically. Pam laughed. "I want contacts, now." They had agreed he'd have to find a pair of glasses before he'd be able to try on the contact lenses.
The nice optician, Maggie, that had showed them around at first came over at that. "Can I see you in those?" Maggie asked pointing to the glasses. Pam walked away to look at some readers for herself. She wasn't needed for this. Blaine put them on reluctantly. Maggie looked sort of shocked. Cute. "You look super hot." She said.
"Thanks." Blaine said dryly, basically ripping them off his face. "So I'm looking for contacts." He said.
Maggie looked at him awkwardly. "Okay, what's your prescription like?" She asked. Blaine handed her the piece of paper Hunter had given him. " -3.5 left, -5 right? And those are your first glasses? How did you not run into trees, like, all the time?" Blaine didn't reply. "Sorry, just surprised." The girl added quickly and blushed.
Blaine felt bad. "I'm sorry, I know this isn't your fault, I'm just annoyed."
"It's okay. But I promise you'll love seeing everything." Maggie said. "So I'll show you how to use contacts first and then I'll give you lenses to try at home." She went to the back and came back with a small container. "Okay, wash your hands over there and then I'll show you."
It took some time, but eventually Blaine got them into his eyes. It did feel a little like he had a bicycle in his eye. When he looked up from the mirror he blinked a few times. It was surreal, he could see EVERYTHING. After about a minute of looking around he realised his mouth had fallen open.
Maggie chuckled. "I told you so." She said smiling. Blaine could actually see it this time. She was very pretty, had really straight teeth and dimples. "Are you busy tonight?" She asked.
Blaine was barely listening but then realised what she'd said. "I'm sorry. Not on your team." He said smiling apologetically.
"That's a shame." Maggie said. She was still smiling.
"It's very flattering, though." Blaine added to make her feel better.
They went and got everything ready, fitted the frames that they'd be able to pick up the next day and left.
Blaine shook his head when he stepped outside. He turned to Pam. "This is totally awesome."
(I loved that scene with the girl flirting with Blaine in my last story, so I decided to do it again:D)
