"But dad, I don't wanna get glasses!"
Arthur sighed, once again wondering how he'd ended up in this scenario. Oh right, he'd brought Matthew in to get his glasses adjusted since he was growing bigger and couldn't fit the smaller frames anymore, and had figured it wouldn't be too much trouble to get Alfred tested as well since they were there.
And, of course, he couldn't have just ended up with the same nearsightedness as his older brother, oh no, he'd had to be farsighted instead, which meant he couldn't just use Matthew's prescription as a tide over.
(It did explain a bit of why his younger child prefered his comic books to novels - he couldn't imagine the headaches one would get from trying when everything closer than ten feet started to blur around you. Obviously not the entire explanation, but it helped a bit.)
"Why not? You thought your brother's glasses were neat enough, didn't you?"
The ten year old made a face. "Yeah, but that's when he's wearing them. I don't wanna wear them myself all the time, I'll look dumb."
"You'll hardly look any dumber than Matthew; in fact, most people see people with glasses as smarter."
"That's not what I mean, dad," Alfred stomped his foot, pouting. "Heroes don't need glasses, so why should I?"
...Ah, that was the issue. Arthur was not a huge fan of comic books like his kids, but he still knew enough to make at least a token attempt. "Doesn't Superman wear glasses when he's in disguise?"
"...yeah," The boy nodded, considering the idea. "But that's when he's in disguise."
"Why don't you just consider the glasses your own disguise then?" He continued effortlessly, hoping this would work. "I'm certain there's plenty of heroes who wear glasses sometimes, right?"
"Huh," The boy pondered, grinning at the idea. "Yeah, I could so do that, and then when the bad guys show up I just whip them off and bam bam bam, I'll kick all their butts and save the day!"
"Of course you will," Arthur agreed, sighing in relief at this reprieve. Whether it'd last long enough to actually get them and get used to them was hard to say, but at least for now his youngest was willing to humor the idea. "Just be careful with them, alright? If you break them I'll be very upset with you."
"I promise," Alfred replied quickly. "And a hero doesn't go back on that!"

AN: Yeah, it's short cause I wasn't sure what else to write, but I still think it came out cute, right? Right?
