Blaine went down and took a look at the frames on display. He picked up one pair of black horn rims and put them one. One glance in the mirror let him know that he looked awful. "They look nice on you.", a female voice came from behind. Blaine turned and looked into the face of one of the opticians. She smiled.
"I don't like it. I look like a nerd.", Blaine said. He hated this.
The optician grinned. "Okay, do you have any idea what you like?", she asked. Blaine shook his head. "So are you wearing contacts right now?", the optician said, while she was having a look around.
"No, I don't. I just got the news.", Blaine said annoyed. This was worse than he expected. Everything he looked at was atrocious, at least on him.
The optician was smiling a little wider. "Right. You got your prescription?" Blaine handed her the doctors note. "Well, you must have had quite a bit of trouble seeing." Blaine got a little angry, it was not her problem.
"Look, ahm...", he tried to read the name tag and got a little closer to her. "Holly. I just want to get a pair of glasses really quick. I wont wear them anyways, I will look geeky in all of them, so can we just get this over with?"
"I know, you are not happy about this, not many people are. But we will find the right thing for you. You might even find something you like.", Holly said.
Blaine shrug his shoulders. He would not be wearing the glasses in public, so he didn't really care.
"Okay, why don't you come with me. Here, take those and this pair. Which do you like better?", She handed him two types of frames.
"Well, I don't like either.", Blaine said after taking a quick look at both.
"Just put them on. They look a lot different on your face.", she said, sounding exited. It was making Blaine feel even more annoyed. He put both on. One was frame less and looked even worse on his face than in his hands. The other one was a plastic framed one. It didn't look to bad. He was handing the frame less one back to Holly. "Okay, good. Now compare. Do you like that one better?", she handed him another plastic frame one, it was a little smaller and rounder.
"I think the other one is better.", Blaine said. It was not exactly fun and he would much rather be looking for cloths, or shoes, but it was not too bad either.
"Okay, well, take this one and compare again.", this went one for a few more pairs. T one point she handed him half frames.
"I don't think I need to put-", he said, but she stopped him.
"Just do it.", she said and he put them on. "They look amazing. I think we found your pair."
Blaine nodded. He still liked himself a hundred times better without them, but they were by far the best pair.
"I guess.", he said.
She grinned. "A little more excitement, please?"
Blaine smiled a little. "Nah, not that good."
"Well, okay. I will get them ready with your lenses. I think you should get the ones that are slightly thinner. They look a little less geeky. You can pick them up in an hour. You wanted contacts, didn't you?", she said laughing.
"Yeah, okay. And I need eye drops.", Blaine said, not really understanding why she was so amused.
"Okay, we need to order them, we don't have any, fitting for your astigmatism. If you pay now as well, they will be send to you.", she said and Blaine nodded. The faster the better, and not needing to come again would make it faster.
"It will take about a week.", she said and Blaine nodded again.
"Okay, thank you. See you in an hour.", Blaine said and left the optician. He went to get a coffee, waiting for the note to pick up his glasses. He was into his book, when the note came.
"There you are again", Holly said when Blaine reentered the store. She took out a case. "Sit down."
Blaine sat down and she handed him the case. He opened it and took out the frames. He hesitated.
"Oh come on. Try them on!", Holly said with excitement in her voice. Blaine put the glasses on his face. It was a weird feeling. He could see everything. He hadn't noticed that everything further than a foot from him was blurry, but now, seeing how everything looked crazy sharp. He was glancing over the frame and compared the two images.
"Wow...", Blaine said and Holly grinned. "Everything is so... Detailed."
Holly laughed. "I know, it is confusing. But you will get used to it in no time and in a day or two you will probably find it weird to take those glasses off."
Blaine kept the glasses on while paying. "Thanks.", he said to Holly, who was giving him another smile. He could see now, how she looked at him.
"Call me if you need any help or have any questions.", she said, handing him her card. Did she just wink at him? He took a better look at the card. It said "do you like coffee?"
"I am sorry, but... ahm... boyfriend.", he stuttered out. Girls flirting with him mad him crazily uncomfortable.
"That is a drag.", she said laughing and he noticed her looking a little disappointed.
