Okay. Um. Hear me out. Just hear me out on this, okay?
So.
Evan needing glasses to see and stuff. Except he doesn’t like glasses, so he just wears contacts all the time. And no one has ever seen him in his glasses, because he quite simply never wears them.
But there’s a day in fifth year when Evan’s just completely worn out (because fifth year’s workload is, in one word, brutal), so he decides to go to bed early. Barty and Regulus aren’t in the dorm because of how early it is, which means that they’re doing other things. And Evan gets ready for bed, and takes his contacts out and everything, and then realizes that he has a test tomorrow that he hasn’t studied for.
And so he reluctantly gets back up to grab his books and notes, but he doesn’t feel like taking the time to put contacts in, especially since he’s not even going anywhere. So he puts on his glasses instead. And Evan’s just sitting on his bed, shirt off and plaid pajama pants on, wearing his glasses and not realizing how good he looks.
And then Barty walks in, not expecting Evan to be awake (because Evan had told him and Reg that he was going to bed earlier than usual) and certainly not expecting Evan to be looking like that. And there’s this awkward moment when Evan looks up to see who’s entered, and Barty’s just standing there with his mouth slightly open and he is positively ogling Evan. And Evan is confused, because why does Barty look like he’s just forgotten the entirety of the English language?
And so he ventures a casual “…Barty?”
And Barty shakes his head a little bit, closing and opening his mouth a few times before managing a choked, “When did you get glasses?”
And Evan frowns, saying, “I’ve always had glasses, I just usually wear my contacts.”
And Barty nods distractedly, squeaking out a “Right” before walking straight to the bathroom and closing the door abruptly.
Barty re-emerges some time later, not saying a word to Evan as he walks straight back out of the dorm.
And Evan shakes his head, thinks, Well, that was weird, and just goes back to studying for his test.
