"Excuse me, what is your opinion of these frames?"

He was so handsome it hurt. He belonged in a movie or the pages of a magazine, and definitely not in the little eyewear store that Sakura was currently in.

She stared at him for longer than she should before sputtering an answer, feeling like an idiot. "They're good."

"Good," he repeated slowly, "but not great?" She realized that he wanted an answer, but she was drawing a blank. His dark eyes and dark lashes required her full attention and left her tongue tied.

"What about these?" He put on another pair. Thick rimmed and heavy in a dark navy colour. She regarded them critically, trying to ignore the attractive and patient face behind them.

"No, they're too big for your face." She searched through a few on the table in front of her, eager to find a pair he'd like. "Besides, the colour's no good." When was she going to get another chance to play makeover with a model? She spotted one that looked better suited for him.

"Try these ones," she handed them over. He slid them delicately onto his face and squinted into the mirror. "The frames are smaller so they don't obscure your face." Your gorgeous face, she wanted to say, but didn't. They were simple black square half frames with delicate chrome arms.

He stood there quietly as she inspected them, nodding. "They suit you." He was very, very handsome and those glasses only added to his appeal.

"I have a hard time choosing nice frames by myself," he explained, taking them off to squint at them. "I can't really see them without my glasses on."

Sakura's face cracked into a wicked smile. She had an idea. "How about I take your picture so you can see it." Added bonus, she could have proof to show Ino later of the god-like man she had met in the glasses store. He smiled pleasantly, putting the frames back on.

"Great idea."

Sakura got out her phone and he continued to smile so sweetly she felt like she might melt. She snapped a few shots. "Okay good; got it." She handed him the phone once he had his own thick lenses back on. "What do you think?"

"I like them," he agreed. "Thank you for the help..." Paused, waiting for her to supply her name. She obliged, happily.

"Sakura," she held out her hand, giving a smile so flirty Ino would be proud, "Haruno Sakura."

He shook her hand, returning the flirty smile to her amazement. "Uchiha Itachi."

AN: I found this one really challenging to write. I have no idea why. I just really like the idea of modern day AU Itachi wearing glasses, and I know that my mom has to use this trick to pick glasses because she can't see them otherwise. I imagine his eyesight would be pretty terrible and Sasuke would refuse to help him (cuz he's a little shit) so he would have to rely on the kindness of strangers to help him.

Thanks for reading!
