"Blaaaine, Blaaine...", Kurt was shouting threw the haul, when he saw Blaine. Blaine was standing still and Kurt was walking up to him. "Are you okay? Why did you have to stay behind?", he asked.
"Nothing, she just wanted to know if everything was alright. I get to take the test again...", Blaine said looking at the floor.
Kurt grinned. "That is really good, Blaine. Why aren't you happy?" He was worried. This news should flatter Blaine.
"Don't know... I just don't feel to good, I guess.", Blaine was smiling at Kurt. "I have to leave for PE now, do I see you later in my room?"
Kurt gave him a quick kiss. "Of cause. I'll bring some snacks!"
Blaine was distracted during the badminton training. He was really unhappy with how it all went, he knew that he needed a vision aid, but he knew as well, that he would look super geeky. He was always confident with his looks, but he was sure, that glasses would change that. He would not be showing Kurt that he was in need of glasses and if school would make him use anything he would do every thing to get contacts. In break the housemaster had told him, that he got an appointment for the next day, the school got special conditions, and he would be missing the whole school day. He would have to find excuse to give to Kurt, if Blaine told him, Kurt would not let him live without exposing himself in these spectacles.
Blaine heard a knock on the door. He was happy to see Kurt after not having talked to him for the whole day.
"Hey love!", he said, pulling Kurt to him.
Kurt responded the kiss and they mad their way onto the bed. They loved to cuddle while watching some cheesy movie and this day it was one that was especially bad. Blaine was stroking threw Kurt's hair while Kurt was munching on a bag of M&M's. "You want some?", he was holding the bag to Blaine. Blaine was really in the mood for chocolate, but that would not go with his excuse.
"No thanks, I have a pretty bad toothache.", Blaine said.
Kurt deploring. "Oh, I am sorry. You should see a dentist about it, though.", he said quickly.
Blaine knew that Kurt did not like that topic and that was his plan.
"I know. I am going tomorrow. Hendricks got me an appointment. I will miss the whole day, though.", Blaine said. It was the perfect excuse. Kurt would not ask about the details.
"Oh okay. That is good.", Kurt said hastily and put some more chocolates into his mouth.
Blaine smiled. It went as he had expected.
At breakfast Blaine did not feel like eating a lot. Luckily for him, he could use his plea. "Good Luck, love.", Kurt said as he had finished. Kurt had to be fast to get to class on time and Blaine had some more time. As soon as Kurt left Blaine went back to his room to get his coat. He would have to take the train to the doctors office because there was no one to drive him.
The train took some time and Blaine was reading up some tips to improve the vision for a short time. May be, if he used those now he could get threw the exam without to much of a problem. He tried to focus on things close and far threw out the whole ride and was pretty confident when he arrived at the office. He sat down in the waiting room and read about celebrities in the magazines that were lying around there. Justin and Britney in full jeans outfits, interesting. He looked at the cover, 2001. Then he lay down the magazine. "Blaine Anderson", the secretary was saying and Blaine got up to see the doctor.
"Hello, I am Dr. Smith. You must be Blaine.", the doctor said.
Blaine nodded.
"So what are you doing here?", the doctor asked, while looking at the note from the nurse he got.
"The nurse told me to come here. Apparently I have a vision problem.", Blaine said a little annoyed.
"I see. Sit down in the chair please.", the doctor said pointing at a white chair, in which Blaine sat down. "So I will put up a chart on that wall", he pointed to the wall opposite of the chair. "And I will ask you to read out some letters and numbers for me. It will give me a slight impression. Okay, start with what ever is the smallest line you can read to me."
Blaine was looking at the chart. He could see that the first letter was an E, with the second line he was not to sure, for the third line there was no chance. "Ahmm... P... P again? Oh no, it is an R.", he was totally screwed.
"Well, okay. I will just put that thing in front of you and put a lens in. We will try again.", the doctor put a thing in front of Blaine and it made a few clicking sounds. "Okay, try reading the second line again.", the doctor said.
"Okay, F and B.", Blaine said. He could see the letters clearly now.
"Good. Can you make it threw those as well?", the doctor put another chart up and Blaine made it threw a few more lines. At one point it became to small again. From that point he go asked what lens worked better. "Okay, Blaine. We are done. You are pretty short sighted. But it is no problem. You will get glasses with your prescription and you get really good vision."
Blaine was not happy to hear this. He had been in denial about his vision being bad for a while now. "Oh, I want contacts", he said.
"Well, I don't think you can get contacts. You don't have a lot of lachrymal fluid, so you would get a strain on your eyes very easily.", the doctor said.
"I think I can stand that.", Blaine said fast. He would go threw a little pain if he would not need to wear glasses in exchange.
"Well, if you take eye drops frequently you could wear contacts for a few hour's a day.", the doctor said shaking his head.
"Okay, I do that.", Blaine said.
"But you should get glasses additionally. You will notice how easy life is with those and you will wear them when you are unable to put your contacts in.", the doctor looked a little annoyed.
"Fine.", Blaine said happily.
"Go down to the optician. They will fit you a pair of glasses and will order contacts for you. They will get send to your school for you to try. If you are fine with them you order more.", the doctor said and Blaine left.
