"Wes-es-es-es-est! Did you remember to book your appointment for the dentist?"

"Uh, no. I was, um, busy with paperwork"

"Well, that's ok. I did it for you. You're scheduled next Tuesday" With that he walked out laughing. Germany but his lip in worry. The dentist. One of the most horrible things known to nation kind. Unfortunately they were not immune to cavities. Germany ran his tongue across his teeth. Deciding to be safe he ran to brush his teeth. Twice.

Next Tuesday Germany was driving to the dentist while Prussia was fiddling with the radio next to him. "Commercial, commercial, boring guy, terrible pop music, ahh! Metal" He started to head bang and drum the beat out of the dashboard. Germany pulled into the dentist's office.

"Well, we're here" he announced.

"Yes we are. Now get your ass out of here and to the dentist. And hand me your keys. I'll be back in an hour. I got stuff to do" Prussia giggled madly as he waved his coupon for unlimited 1 euro scoops of ice cream today. Germany got out. And froze in place.

"Wait! I forgot to put the meatloaf in the fridge. It'll go bad. I need to go home and do it" he said grabbing at the door handle.

"I put it away West"

"Oh. Well I forgot to mail the bills. They'll turn off our power. How will you update your blog and watch tonight's elimination of that singing show"

"It's not due for a week"

"The windows. I forgot to close them. And I heard there's supposed to be massive thunderstorms stating in half an hour"

"Nope, the weathers clear for the next few days West"

Dammit, when did Prussia get so responsible?

"West. Do you want me to come with you?"

"No, no. Of course not" he chuckled nervously.

"Ok" Prussia stared to pull out.

"Wait, don't go. Come with me" he whispered and looked down at his feet.

"Aw, West. Do you need your big bother to come? Kesesese. Of course I will" He hopped out of the car. Prussia pushed Germany up the stairs and into the building.

Prussia went to read expired magazines while Germany walked up to the receptions desk. "Ludwig. Beilschmidt" He said. "Right on time Mr. Beilschmidt. Have a seat" He joined Prussia who was looking at an article about how to grow a six pack in a week. Germany picked up a random magazine and started to flip through it.

"Wow West, I never knew you cared about which eye shadow brings out the glow in your eye color the best" Germany fumbled with the magazine and realized it was one for teenage girls. He looked for one about electronics. Electronics are manly, right?

"Ludwig. The dentist will see you now" the smiling assistant called. Germany slowly rose and walked over. "Good luck West" waved Prussia and blew a kiss.

Ludwig was lain down on the chair and nervously drummed his fingers as the assistant looked through his files. "Just a checkup?" she asked.

"Yes"

"Alright" She poked and scraped at his teeth with medieval torture instruments. Every time she poked his skin Germany held back tears and clenched his fists tighter together. Germany felt like he was going to have to jump up and run every time he heard the horrible scrape of metal against is teeth.

"Rinse" He did. And saw chunks of blood in the sink. He paled and neatly passed out. Thankfully he got to lie back down.

"The dentist will be right here in moment" She walked out and left Germany unattended. He looked towards the window. There's still enough time to run and jump out of it. They were on the third floor but he could make the jump no problem. Then he could run home and tell Prussia he caught a bus when the assistant said the dentist had to go home.

"Hello Ludwig" the dentist said breaking his thoughts.

"Hello"

After some chit chat he shined the blinding light in Germany's face and got even more medieval torture tools from his arsenal. This had to be the workings of Prussia. Must have called ahead and told them to torture him accordingly.

Germany felt the spit running down his chin awkwardly while more spit was building up in his throat. He couldn't do anything since he couldn't close his moth to swallow and couldn't really wipe his mouth either. He opted for squeezing his eyes shut. Suddenly he felt the hands leave. He quickly swallowed and cleaned himself up.

The dentist came in with a mirror and another sharp stick and prodded some more.

"Alright, you're all good Ludwig" Germany slowly sat up as his blood started circulating again. "Come back in another 6 months"

"Th-thanks" He ran out as quickly as possible while the dentist was still busy with his charts. He sped walked past the receptions desk and to Prussia and fell down on the seat. Prussia gave him a smile and went to handle the payments.

"West. Let's go back to the car" Germany nodded silently. He sat frozen in the passenger seat while Prussia fiddled with the ignition and radio station. "Ice cream, here we come!" he shouted and cackled as he carelessly pulled out. Germany was too frazzled to yell what an idiot he is and how he should be more careful.

Prussia stopped at the lights and turned to Germany.

"West, you ok?" he asked softly. He nodded silently again. The light changed and Prussia drove down and pulled into the parking lot. Prussia unbuckled himself and leaned over to Germany and wrapped his arms around him. "It'll be ok West. It's over. Don't be scared anymore" They sat like that for a minute.

"You feeling better now?"

"Y-yes"

"Awesome. Let's get ice cream" Prussia ended up getting nearly all the flavors twice and Germany got himself some delicious ice cream too. Germany drove back since Prussia was too busy holding his stomach and moaning.

Prussia was lying on the couch and still holding his stomach while watching a movie.

"Hey Prussia"

"What?"

"Did you remember to book your doctor's appointment?"

"No"

"Well, luckily for you you got a caring brother like me. Your prostate exam is next Tuesday"
