Kurt was sitting at the table, picking his lunch. He picked up a cooked carrot, pressing it gently against the top of his mouth and swallowed. Even when eating without any chewing involved he needed to focus very hard on not wincing. The pain in his mouth had grown worse over time, it started out with just a little sensitivity to cold food, but it had developed to be constant. He was usually not very good in hiding pain, but in this particular situation he did well. He just didn't want anyone to notice.
"What is wrong? Don't you like it?", Blaine asked and Kurt looked up in shock.
"No, no... It's not to bad.", Kurt said, trying not to sound to jittery.
Blaine frowned at him, but, to Kurt's surprise he let it go. Kurt was done with eating, it hurt to bad and everything, apart from the carrots would require chewing. He was just sitting there, looking at Blaine eating and Blaine smiled at him. "What do you think, should we go out later? There is this new store and I thought we could have a look at some coats... It is getting cold and I have nothing to wear, you know?"
Kurt was feeling jubilant. Shopping was the best thing to do and it would help him to forget about his throbbing tooth. "Are you really asking me?", he asked, his voice sounding exultant.
Blaine was taking his plate and said, while getting up "That is my boy.". Both were laughing and Kurt got up as well, grabbing Blaine's hand.
The were walking to their lockers where their paths were divided. "So I see you at the entrance after maths?"
"I'll be there!", Blaine said in a voice that gave Kurt tingles.
