Chapter 24: Glasses
"Where are your glasses?" Kendall asked his friend who was struggling to read the menu sign to Sheridan's.
"At home, why?" James asked back as he squinted his eyes until they were almost closed. Kendall rolled his eyes and pulled James out of line so that the other customers could go.
"Dude. You need to where your glasses."
"You're not my mom. And I really don't." James huffed and the blonde rolled his eyes again.
"Real mature there, Jamie. And ya do. Ya really really do. What do you have against them anyways?" Kendall pushed on when he saw James opened his mouth. "I mean really. They won't kill you."
The pretty boy frowned before turning to look back up at the menu. "You wouldn't understand."
"James. When have I ever not understood you?" Kendall asked and James sighed.
"Never."
"Right, so why would I start now?"
"Ugh, Kendall. I just don't like them, okay?" the brunette crossed his arms over his chest and Kendall stepped in front of him.
"Okay. Get contact then. Because you're blind as a bat in daylight moron. You need one of the other on a daily bases. I personally think you should wear your glasses."
"Why? They're hideous and don't make me 'The Face' anymore. I don't look good with them on." James whispered the last part embarrassedly and Kendall stared at him incruedeously.
"Is that what this is all about? Your looks?" this time Kendall pulled them all the way away from Sheridan's and lead them outside.
"Where are we going?" James asked but Kendall didn't answer. Instead he pulled James along until they reached their car and stopped.
"I want you to look at your reflection right now." the blonde demanded with his arms crossed over his chest.
"What will it prove?" the brunette grumbled and Kendall replied calmly, "Everything." James sighed and looked at himself through the car and shrugged. "What am I supposed to be looking at?"
"A really good looking guy." Kendall simply said before leaning against the car. James stared up at him with wide eyes and Kendall shrugged. "I don't understand why you'd think glasses of all things would make you not 'The Face'. James Diamond, no matter what you wear will ever change the fact that you really are a really good looking guy. Besides, the glasses make you hotter. And smarter. Not that you aren't, but you get my point."
James stayed silent and Kendall nudged him with his foot. "You do get my point, right?" he received a nod and nodded himself. "Good. So from now on, I don't want to hear this nonsense about you not being the face with your glasses on. And I want to see you wear your glasses, because seriously, James, you're freaking attractive with them, okay?"
"Okay." the pretty boy smiled and Kendall stared at him.
"I'm serious. Where them and you get two things out of it: more attractiveness and sight."
James cracked up and threw an arm over his friend's shoulder. "Thanks, Kendall."
"No problem."
And starting that day, when they got back to the Palm Woods, James put on his glasses and not once have they've been off his face unless it was bedtime. And man did he get a lot more compliments. He had a certain blonde to thank for that.
