Twilight needed to get new glasses ASAP. Not because her prescription changed or anything. It's because of these damn frames that kept falling off her nose that she has to push it up with her hand every five minutes.
She is currently modifying a magic detector project with the assistance and supervision of Sunset Shimmer. The girl, who Twilight kind of but not really but yes actually has a crush on. The girl, who is currently typing in new data while oblivious to her pissed-off partner. Twilight was currently tinkering with the detector itself, holding the soldering iron with her right hand and the solder with her left. The glasses slid down again, making her have to drop the soldering iron to push them up again. And again, and again. This back and forth is making her lose precious time on the experiment she's doing right now!
At first, the new glasses did look cute on her. It worked like any other glasses she had ever had. But slowly, she felt it settling down on her nose lower than usual, until it started falling on the floor while she was just standing unprovoked. It's becoming a problem.
If this piece of metal falls off one! More! FREAKING! TIME! Twilight grumbled as she dropped the soldering iron again to push them up again , much harder this time leaving a dent on her skin. She’s so close to finishing up on the modifications to the circuit. She can't rage quit now.
She didn't notice the other girl in the room witnessing her misery. The next time her glasses fell down her nose, Twilight was about to drop the wire to push it up again. But then a soft hand slowly pushed it up with her finger. Gently, tanned fingers lightly grazed her dark skin until the glasses were nestled right back on her nose. Stunned, Twilight looked straight at the detector she was soldering, too flustered to look the girl who was now beside her in the eye. Since when was she here beside me? Wasn't she just typing on the computer ten seconds ago? Why didn’t I notice? And why does she smell so good? Is the strawberry I smell from her cologne or her chapstick? Why are you so gorgeous-
“Sorry, I can't help it. You've been battling with those glasses since the moment I stepped in here,” Sunset sheepishly said, stepping back up a bit.
Twilight finally cooled down a bit to face her. “No, no it's fine,” Twilight chuckled nervously. You can touch my face anytime you want “I am just about to finish here actually, after this I'm IMMEDIATELY buying a new pair! Ha ha!” she laughed looking stupid.
The redhead as just chuckled and replied, “Well even then,” she walked around behind Twilight, who was now confused, still holding both equipments, “Looking at you looking like an overstimulated mess is making me agitated too so,” Twilight almost gasped as she felt a pair of hands beside her face, thumbs and forefingers holding the legs of her glasses and touching her ears , “I'll just hold this for you until you finish, since you already mentioned that you were about too.”
And for fifteen minutes, Twilight worked, trying to ignore the other girl’s breathing on the back of her neck and thankful that she wouldn't notice the redness of her face and the slight shake of her hand as she continued.
And for fifteen minutes, Sunset bit her lip, trying not to let any giggle escape because this cute girl that she likes so much just failed to remember that she actually blushes through her ears and is thankful that Twilight doesn't know the concept of anti-slip earhooks.
