The store Blaine had talked about was half an hour away and while they were sitting in the bus Kurt lay his head on Blaine's shoulder, closing his eyes. The warm body of Blaine's felt good on Kurt's aching cheek and it was a kind of relief. When they arrived at the right station Blaine was swiftly shaking Kurt's arm. "We have to get out, sleepy head.", he said in his cutest voice. Kurt opened his eyes and smirked, Blaine was the most caring person he knew. Kurt was pretty sure Blaine knew in some way that something was wrong with him, but he was also certain that Blaine didn't know what was up exactly.
"Where do we have to go?", Kurt asked when they had hopped out off the bus.
Blaine grabbed his hand and ran. "Follow me!", he exclaimed laughing. Kurt could not hold himself from doing the same. Blaine had been like this from the first moment they had met and Kurt had felt save with him from the instant Kurt had seen him. They were running for quite some time and when they arrived both were breathing heavily and the laughing, neither of them could suppress was hurting in their chests. When they went in the woman on the counter was looking at them with a smirk.
"Hey there! How are you doing?", she said.
"Great, how are you?", the boys chorused.
She smiled. "Good, tell me if you need any help."
The boys chuckled and went to take a look at the cloths. They took quite some time and both were finding some things to try on. Showing it, the other, as well as the employee were giving out various compliments which led to the situation of both boys buying way to much.
"Okay, this was great!", Blaine said when they left the store.
"Amazing. We have to come here regularly, this store is great!", Kurt expressed, trying to balance out the weight of his bags. "You want to have a coffee?"
Blaine nodded and both went, threw the windy dusk, towards the nearest Starbucks, where Kurt sat down on one of the giant, extremely cosy sofas, while Blaine was ordering their coffee.
"Here you go", Blaine said to Kurt while handing him the cup and he sat down, looping his strong arm around Kurt's body. Kurt kissed Blaine and, being distracted by the situation, took a large sip of his coffee.
"Ow!", he said loud, pressing his hand against his jaw. Blaine looked at him in shock.
"What is wrong, Kurt?", he said, inspection Kurt's face. Kurt tried his best in hiding his movement, by taking away his hand quickly but the sweet, hot beverage had made him feel like he got hit by a baseball bat and he was unable to hide his pain from his expression. "Kurt, tell me, do you have a toothache?", Blaine asked in concern. Kurt knew from that moment, that he was doomed. Blaine knew about his troubles with dentists from the one time Kurt had played ill when it came to a routine check up in school as well as the flinching, happening when ever a related term had fallen. "Kurt. I know you don't want to hear this, but-"
Kurt stopped Blaine from speaking. "Nope, no way. Anyways, I don't have a toothache, the coffee is just really hot!", Kurt tried to explain hastily.
"Kurt...", Blaine said slowly, grabbing Kurt's hand. "You have to." He inspected Kurt's face. "You cheek is swollen, Kurt. You have to...", Blaine's voice sounded apologising. Kurt knew he was not going to get out of this. He tried anyways.
"It is really fine, Blaine. It doesn't even hurt anymore...", Kurt said. He knew that he was on the edge of crying. Crying and vomiting. Just the thought of needing to go to a dentist was freaking him out.
"Be both know that that is not true, Kurt. I can see the pain in you expression. How long has this been going?", Blaine asked.
Kurt couldn't tell him. There was no way of him getting out of this, if Blaine for exactly how long this had been going. "The first time was at lunch, just now was the second time."
Blaine looked at him with disappointment. Kurt was certain that he was not believed.
"We are going to the dentist tomorrow.", Blaine said and Kurt jumped at the mention of the term.
"Please, it is fine already. It is nothing, believe me!", Kurt was holding onto every straw.
"Okay, if it is fine, take another sip. You will be able to handle that without any wincing, right?!", Blaine said and was holding the cup towards Kurt. Kurt knew he was going to lose that battle, but he would not stop trying, so he took a tiny sip. He tried his best, but he was unable to stop his face from screwing. "It is going to be fine, Kurt. You can come to my dentist. He is rather nice. You are going to like him, he's really understanding."
Kurt hated this. There was no way of stopping this.
