“Gil, I’m home!” I called out to my boyfriend after a long day of work.

“What happened to ‘mein awesome boyfriend Gil’?” He yelled back. I tried not to laugh and sighed. Full of himself as always. But that’s why I loved the guy.

I stood in the hallway before heading into the living room.

“So how messy is the living room this time? Have any wild parties with Antonio and Francis?” I was referring to Gilbert’s best friends. Together, they were known as the Bad Touch Trio. For very good reasons.

“Very funny frau, but those two didn’t come over today. Yet.”

I casually strolled out into the living room. What I saw pretty much startled me. Gilbert Beilschmidt was reading a book. And not just any book. It was one of my romance novels….

“You’re reading?” I asked carefully.

“No, I’m just casually relaxing with this book here.” He replied sarcastically.

“I can see that. But you’re reading a romance novel.”

“Ja, is there something wrong with that?” Gilbert asked, squinting at the pages.

“Nothing at all, just didn’t think you were a sucker for that kind of thing. Gil, it’s not good for you to be squinting at the book. Aren’t you wearing your contacts?” Gilbert, being albino, not only has beautiful pale skin, silvery white hair, and reddish eyes, but a problem with his sight. He usually wears contacts so he could see, since he’s pretty much legally blind. Sort of.

“Nein, I lost them a while ago. But I’m getting new ones.”

“Well stop reading then. Don’t ruin your eyesight completely.” I said, sitting next to him.

“But I’m at a good part! I can’t just put it down!” He whined. “Wait, Gilbird! Go get mein awesome glasses.” The Prussian said to his little yellow bird, who was perch on top of his head.

“Wait, you have glasses?”

“……. I’m going to read somewhere quieter.” Gilbert carefully saved his page and ran off after Gilbird.

“…. I wanna see those glasses.” I muttered to myself. I went into stealth mode and quietly began my search for Gilbert.

-Le time skip of awesomeness-

There he was. His back was turned to me, but I found him. Gilbert had chosen a pretty good hiding spot outside under a shady tree. He had made himself comfortable, with Gilbird flying around freely. I tiptoed over to see his glasses.

CRUNCH.

Shit. I stepped on a random stick… Gilbert clearly heard me, since he nearly dropped his book. He quickly removed his glasses and hid them in a pocket of his shirt.

“Nice try [Name], but I’m not letting you see these.” He said with a smirk.

“Well why not? Do you think they look bad?” I asked, approaching him slowly.

“Well…” He paused for a moment. “You’ll think they look ridiculous….” He muttered.

“No I won’t Gil. Just let me see them. Please?” I begged.

“Nein.”

“We can go out to your favorite bar~” I said in a singsongy voice, hoping that was enough to convince the albino.

“…… Tonight?” It looks like he was actually considering it.

“Yup. If you let me see your glasses.”

This earned a grumble from my boyfriend, but he reluctantly took out his glasses and put them on. They were really sexycute on him, like the kind you’d see most librarians wear.

“Wow…” I just kept staring at him.

“Wh-what?” Gilbert said as his face turned into all sorts of shades of red.

“You! Gil, those glasses make you look sexy! In a cute nerdy way~” I chirped.

“…..Do they make me look awesome?” He asked, pulling me into a hug.

“Very awesome.” I said, leaning into his chest.

“Danke. [Name]?”

“Hm?”

“Ich liebe dich.” He said, kissing my forehead.

“Ich liebe dich auch.”
